Miss Hunter, Dallas Newborn Photographer

Finally, I've been patiently waiting to meet this bundle of joy. We did her mommy's maternity pictures back in December and low and behold miss Hunter just couldn't wait to her due date and was nearly a month early I believe.

She was just precious! I saw quite a few newborns this weekend so it's going to be baby overload on this blog but who doesn't love an adorable baby :)






This is the same blanket we used for her mommy's maternity pictures. I swear Carla is the hippest new mommy with a house full of eclectic vintage pieces with years of memory.

And here is another gorgeous mommy to be! I've known Amber's sister since college and did some photos of her husband's daughter Katie about a year or so ago. I can't wait to meet baby Skyler-such a cute name! We went around downtown Dallas and Deep Ellum for a bit and hit up one of my favorite walls...the Sunshine Wall :) It just makes me smile.

You guys were great and just naturals I tell ya.

Carla's Maternity, Austin Photographer

I gotta say, it's nice to switch up the scenery from holiday shoots and what better way to break the cycle than with a not your "everyday" photo shoot....MATERNITY. It's become so popular nowadays and I still have family members, friends, and grandparents who question, "Now what exactly are you doing?". It makes me laugh when people associate maternity with nudie pictures....haha.

I guess I've always been on the side of the fence that sees 'Belly Pics' as beautiful and unique. So everyone lets get with the times and enjoy the next couple of posts.

I shot two beautiful ladies this past weekend in Dallas. Carla, my anthropologie hippie, is a mix of that vintage glam with a splash of hippie. The whole week before all I could think about was a field and her cute little hippie headbands. But when I got there we went digging around in her AMAZING closet and picked out like the first couple of AWESOME pieces and went with that because Amy and I were just in lala land thinking of all the different things we could cram into this 1.5 hour session :) Needless to say, we got some fabulous pics and I didn't even get my hippie headband...hey what can i say, we're maturing. We headed over to her grandparents' estate and found everything we needed...I can't believe they had the opportunity to grow up in such an amazing place! Love ya Carla! We had an absolute blast and can't wait to come back and meet Hunter in March.

Urban E:Session in Dallas, TX, Austin Engagement Photographer

What do I say about this couple...only that they were Awesome! Their good friend, whom I use to work with, contacted me a while back about getting them the perfect engagement present...ME! So we started discussing areas and ideas and Deep Ellum and White Rock just popped out at us and I think were Perfect for the occasion. Check out their pics below and click on the images to view larger. Thanks Chuck and Molly...I had a blast and thanks for driving us around everywhere. I just got an Iphone so maybe I won't get lost anymore :)

We got a Great view of downtown Dallas from....I'll never tell :) It's our new little secret. Thanks Chuck.


How glamorous do they look? I told them to strike a pose and walla :) LOVE IT. Killer shoes Molly...I'm such a sucker for fun heels.






This wall has every color imaginable splatter-painted on one side...on the other is another colorful design. Deep Ellum truly has some artistic backdrops.

My First Trolley Ride....thanks guys!

Bride with a pistol, Twinty Bridals

HOTNESS ALERT:

I am soooo excited to finally post these pictures. Jennifer was by far my most creative bride to take bridal portraits and man did they turn out great if I say so myself. Isn't a bride with a gun every man's fantasy...or nightmare? :)haha.

Anywho, here they are.
I'm very excited about my large prints. She ordered a 16x20 for the reception and I think it turned out just gorgeous....image on right from reception.

This is my favorite picture just because it reminds me of our hometown Midland at the Moon Tower...shout out!

Seniors, Bridals, Engagements Oh My...

So this week has been very hectic and I'm sorry for the late posting but I had some amazing shoots this past weekend in Dallas, TX. I was so exhausted afterwards but it was totally worth it! Guess that comes with getting older :)

It started off Saturday.....COLD and WINDY in Ft Worth meeting up with Lisa for her bridal session. Needless to say we took it inside for a bit at the Renaissance Hotel. They had the coolest coffee bar area that we utilized with their lush blue and red couches and this rockin fireball chandelier. She looked Stunning! So thanks to the Renaissance hotel for giving us a break from the Texas Weather. I wish I could show you a teaser but you'll just have to wait until the wedding in June.



Then came her engagement session with her super sweet fiance Jordan. This couple is so nice and adorable together that it gets me pumped for the wedding day in Midland, TX (my hometown). They were serious troopers braving the wind at the Stockyards with Lisa's cute spring dresses you couldn't even tell it was 40 degrees outside. Thanks you guys! You rocked the Lens!

Sunday-1 Year Old

We started off by driving up to Allen, TX to one of my favorite clients...The Colemans. It was Miss B's 1 year old pics and of coarse we threw in some with big sister Kali. Miss B's brown dress has been worn by all the female grandchildren so I was honored to get to take her pics in this infamous dress. Poor Mr Coleman has his hands full with a house full of beautiful girls.








SENIOR-Kristin

I just love seniors and this girl has the camera wrapped around her finger. We went to the Arboretum and it was gorgeous weather. They were so funny, her two younger sisters would mimic all of her poses after we'd shoot somewhere and have their dad take pictures of them...so they got their own personal photoshoot as well...haha. Ya'll cracked me up! Thanks for making me laugh Bartlett family.








Senior-Maddie

This senior is full of life and happiness and we could all use more people like her in this world. Her shoot was so fun because she would just giggle and laugh when I told her not to smile....love it! Thanks for working Deep Ellum girl!






Last but not least was Miss J's Bridals...wish I could show you this girl's shoot...by far the most creative I have done... lets just say weapons, motorcycles and one hot bride should be illegal due to the HOTNESS of this shoot. :). Can't wait to show you the pics once her and Matt's wedding rolls around in May.
