It's wildflower season!!!

Yippieee!!!!! Every year I can not wait for the blooms to start popping up everywhere! This season has been starting off with the sweet buttercups. I just had to take some test shots with my little girl!





Besides being a cute little model, she makes for a handy assistant ;)

Slideshow at a weding reception.

See the big screen in the back? ... That was one my shots from earlier in the day. That's the DJ's screen where he let me put up my slide show pics ... pretty cool, huh!?!?!!



Speaking of slideshows, click HERE to see Cindy & Josh's show and enjoy :)

(The show will need to pre-load, but it's well worth the wait!)

A few more from the wedding

I am just about done processing the Rodriguez-Cummings wedding and I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite detail shots. Be sure to check back real soon to catch the slide show!

Life ... back to normal :)

Well, tomorrow is Tuesday, and hopefully the beginning of a new and improved week! Between the time change, traveling, Spring Break and Easter all being rolled into one, I can honestly say that I'm looking forward to my normal 'boring' life! I have loads of images to work on, orders to place, weddings to process & post and suppers to make, but I am looking forward to it all!

Also, as an added bonus, I was able to snag me two great new lenses that I've been eyeing for quite some time ... with my newly recharged batteries I'm gonna need some fresh faces to point them at! I'm thinking of having a few free mini-sessions just to help me break them in ... keep your eyes open for an announcement pretty soon!

In a funk ....

Ever have those days where you feel kinda 'off'? .... like really OFF? Well, I swear that I have been feeling this way for the last two weeks ...ughh! It feels like nothing that I do turns out right ... I've had my bank account violated and wiped out ... left the radio on in my car and drained the battery ... broke my cell phone into two pieces ... paid for gas and drove off without pumping it in ... washed a tube of lipstick with my colored clothes .... took pictures (personal ones) with out a memory card ... broke 3 fingernails in two days .... sigh, the list is endless!

Will this funk ever go away? ..... bigger sigh ..... I sure hope so!

Cindy & Josh are married!

I just got back from shooting a wonderful wedding in South Texas. The newly weds Cindy and Josh had a beautiful (and emotional) ceremony followed by a fantastic reception with their two loving families. Along with the bridal portraits that I could not post earlier, here are a few of the shots that the DJ let me put up on the projection screen during the dance .... what a treat :)

And don't worry ... I'll share more after I get some much needed rest!



Earlier during the wedding day, the groom surprised his bride to be with an emotional gift ... a framed photo of her grandparents on their wedding day.


I just love this shot! .... she's such a beautiful bride!

Here's the bride and her sister sharring a few laughs before getting dressed.

The happy couple! ... congrats to you both!

Beautiful baby and her blue eyes

Today I was able to book one last shoot before I'm of to South Texas to photograph a wedding. The model for today was little Kayleigh and I gotta confess ... she has the most stunning blue eyes that I have ever seen!

Here's a little sneak peak at today's session ...

Aren't these eyes just stellar!!??!!!??!!

Ans she has the sweetest little lashes too boot!

Congrats to Roger & Riki!

Well, this year for Leap Day I had the pleasure of spending time with an awesome (and crazy) family to celebrate the wedding of Roger & Riki. What fun! The entire event was held at the stunning Canyon Springs Golf course, and let me tell ya, this place is gorgeous! The setting was perfect with a beautiful sunset, a happy wedding party and of course the love struck bride and groom! Plus as an extra treat I got to bring with me my newest photography friend and wedding assistant Chasity Furse. Without her wonderful assistance my day would have never run so smoothly!
Here's a little glance at the perfect day ...



And here are the fabulously fun children of the bride!

This shot just makes me smile everytime I see it. I PROMISE to y'all that I didn't set this up! ... it just unfolded right in front of my eyes...lucky me!!
