Kenley King

Miss Kenley emailed me this week to order some of her bridals. As I was going through them I realized I had never blogged this beautiful session. We got together last November for her session. The poor thing was going to Cabo to get married and wanted some portraits to take with her. I had so much fun with Kenley and her mom Shanna. They let me take them whereever I wanted and her mom kept saying "oh Im gonna want to order that one".... music to a photogs ears...hahahaha. I call Kenley my "look away" bride because her away look was so stunning and I kept saying "OK look away"... And just in case you are wondering they had a MARVELOUS time in CABO. (sidenote: just incase you were unsure, if you are planning a wedding to Cabo... or any other tropical climate for that matter....do nto hesitate to call. I am ALL about it!)
Thanks Kenley for being so amazing to work with. Sorry I didnt show these babies off sooner!!!!

This was part of my bible study today. This is what I want to always remember. It doesn't matter how much WE accomplish only what God has accomplished for us. We are so previledged to be children of the KING.

Amanda & Tommy

I fell in love with these two the moment I said "look at eachother and be serious" and they cracked up laughing!!! They are my perfect couple, madly in love, georgeous, up for anything & 200% GOOFY!!! Amanda & Tommy are getting married in October and so Daniel took me to the big "D" to shoot their engagement. It was so wonderful (and a wee bit scary) being somewhere new and excited and with such a great couple. They grew up in the same town and same school out here in West Texas but didn't start dating until they both found their way to Dallas... funny how when your suppose to be together it doesnt matter how big the City is it will happen. I am truely looking forward to this wedding, I have been forwarned about the wedding party, and I think I am up for it!!! HA! We took off all over Dallas and just shot until my hand and their cheeks hurt! I have some fun photos of Tommy all alone and ladies if he doesnt pay me the blackmail mulah soon I'll post them as well...hahahahaha! Thanks guys for be so fan-freaking-tastic!!!!

The other photos will be posted on www.pictage.com with in the next 1-2 weeks!

Kamron & Patrick

Well as PROMISED... a day or two late! AUGH! This time it took me longer because I just couldnt decide!!!! I can't take all the credit, even if I want to, a few of the rockin photos below were taken by my lovely assistant...Daniel! I narrowed it down to 30 favs...yeah I know bit much for a blog post but who cares its my blog and this was a fantastic wedding, complete with perfect weather, laughter, red headed gangstas, great food, better company and KARAOKE!!! Just look at the smiles on their faces they know how to celebrate. We even were serenaded with Patricks fabulous rendition of Sweet Home Amarillo... And then the perfect ending to the shin dig was a silly string battle...of which I was hit while being UNARMED!!!! I'll not be caught with my guard down next time. Congratulations you two, I hope y'all had a wonderful time heading north, where ever the road took ya!
