Wedding: Marie!!!!

If you have followed me for a while, you have heard me mention the amazing Marie!  She has been there from almost the beginning and is the one who designed my logo and fashioned this website.

A few years ago, this amazing lady met Francis.

She had a boyfriend already, and while Francis was interested in Marie, she was very firm that they were just friends.  Francis didn’t beg, begrudge, or budged, he just bidded his time being as best a friend as he could.

Then one day, the story took a twist.

Marie hadn’t forgotten the Francis liked her, and he had been patient.  Now the time had finally come that Marie could say yes to Francis’ interest.

With love kindled, they struck the most precious romance I think I have ever seen.

Finally

At the beginng of this year, Francis proposed to Marie.

She said yes!!

I am honored to take her bridal portraits!

Esther’s Birthday

Before I start, I must confess that this is a very late post…about four months late!  But to be fair, I was in the process of transitioning my website, so this funness got sadly shoved to the side.  Now that I am settled, I just had to share it!

Meet my deer cousin, Esther, and the fabulous barn dancing surprise party!

We were all very fortunate for these two who volunteered to be dancing instructors.  They were marvelous!

Then came out the hula hoops!  I have never been any good at these things…

Wedding: Jenette and Bryant

 

She called me just a few weeks to the wedding needing a photographer.   I was so happy to be able to say that I had the date she needed open… and even more excited when I got the details of the wedding.  She was having her beautiful day in the Arboretum!  It was a dream come true to be asked to do a wedding in the Dallas Arboretum!

The beauty and happiness of the day exceeded expectation.  The sunlight, all the pretty greenery, and her fabulous style!

Just breath taking.

Engagement Caleb & Carri

 

Wow, it’s been a while!!

It feels so good to be posting something on the blog again!  I kind of feel like I’ve moved to a new home and am still trying to unpack and get settled.  Those of you who have followed me for a while know that I have done this once before, but the last move was just like changing apartments.  This one was like going from a rented studio apartment to owning five bedroom house…and I’m not quite used to the space or upkeep.

Posting an engagement session certainly makes this new web-space feel a little more homey.

And what a gorgeous couple at that!!!  Caleb and Carri are some of the sweetest people I have ever met!  And crafty too!  I am really in love with personal props that couples bring, and her’s weren’t just personal, they were homemade.  Geez, I wish I could craft like that!  My home would be so decorated and awesome.
