Well...go on over and check out the newer, bigger, better blog!

Oklahoma Senior...2009 | Dallas Senior Photography

Dara and her mom drove down from Oklahoma for senior pictures.  I'm so glad they did...it was tons of fun!  Thanks to the guys at a local biker hangout...Dara got to borrow a Harley for some of her pictures.  I'm not sure who was having more fun...Dara or the owner of the Harley!  Anyway....thanks again for driving down, it was fun getting together.

I have been shooting little "R" since he was just days old.  I LOVE watching my babies grow up....

Thanks Kelly for driving all the way up here, it was so much shooting you guys.  Tell Charles that I'm sorry about those ants!  Here's the sneak peek that I promised days ago.....your gallery will be ready soon!

technical difficulties......AGAIN!

It has recently been brought to my attention "AGAIN" that I am having some e-mail issues.  My apologies to those who have e-mailed me and I have not responded.  I do try to get to my e-mails every day, but if you have sent me an e-mail and I have not responded within 48 hours....I didn't get it (sorry).  If you find that this has happened to you...please e-mail me at the following address:

I shot Courtney's sister last year, so I was honored to be asked to shoot Courtney this year.  Her family recently moved away from Dallas, so on a weekend while they were "in the area" we met up for some photos. 

It's that time of year | senior photography dallas

I LOVE this time of year.  My seniors are in full swing and it's so much fun!  Here are some pictures from a recent session.  Meet Miss "C"....a natural beauty and so full of personalty.  We managed to tackle the wind and get some amazing shots.

Candice + Gary | dallas wedding photography

What a wonderful week!!  I got to attend a great photography conference/tradeshow in Vegas while hanging with some of my favorite people and then to top it off I was asked to shoot a very old and dear friend's wedding in Colorado. 

I have known Candice "Candi" since junior high...a very long time ago.  We drifted apart as most people do, but was reacquainted with her a few years ago.  She has two ADORABLE little boys that she loves dearly and is an ER nurse near the town of Del Norte, Colorado.  When Candi first approached me to shoot her wedding my first reaction was..."No way!", but with a little persuasion from her and the fact that she's an old friend, how could I say no.  I'm glad I didn't...I had the most fun time and I was honored that she had asked me. 

So...here you go Candi.  I know you and Gary are anxious to see some of the images.  I still have so many more images to edit, so hang tight.  You make a beautiful bride Candi and Gary a handsome groom...thanks again for letting me be a part of your day.  :)

it's a girl! | Dallas Newborn Photography

Can you tell from all pink?  I got to tag along with a friend of mine, Sarah, to shoot this little cutie!!  This little one is the newest member in a house full of girls....we had so much fun with all the pink....can't you tell?

*****************************************************************

I will be out of the office for business February 15-22.  I will be returning all phone calls and e-mails once I return. 

For those waiting on prints....I'll be shipping orders out on Friday, 2/14.  For those waiting on galleries...I hope to have those posted by Friday as well.  Some of you will have galleries posted after Feb. 23, but you know who you are.

sweet babe | Dallas Newborn Photography

This was an extra special shoot for an extra special mom and kiddo.  Melissa was Ryann's (my youngest) PPCD teacher for almost 3 years....we just LOVE her.  So, when she found out she was pregnant I was so excited that I would get to do something as special for her and she had done for my family.  I wanted to give her a gift that she would remember forever.....your disc is on it's way!

Meet baby "I".
