Kendra :: Boudoir

"HAY-SOOOS!!" That's all Kendra's groom, Cody, could say as he flipped through the book of boudoir photos she made for him. Like many brides, Kendra choose to give her groom a very personal gift on their wedding day, and lucky me, I shot her boudoir session and the wedding, so I was able to capture Cody's reaction as he flipped through page after page of gorgeous, sexy images of his bride! We did her shoot back in February (oh my, that seems so long ago!) but I couldn't share until after the wedding...and for anybody who knows me, you know I have zero-zip-zilch patience....so I've been dying to blog these! You might need a towel to wipe the sweat from your brow after looking at these!

Tiffany & Wiley :: Aftershoot!

So a lot has happened since my last blog post...A LOT! The biggest of which, is that we have moved back to CALIFORNIA! Andrew landed a great job, so we were finally able to get back to Orange County, something that we've been working on since the wedding over a year ago! We actually moved ourselves (and dogs), with the help of some awesome friends! So happy to be back and see old friends and family...looking forward to a lot more of that to come!

Anywhoo, I digress....because this isn't about me....it's about Tiffany and Wiley! They are my superstar clients, and the first to book an "aftershoot." Now normally this would have been right after the wedding, even the day after...but they left immediately after the wedding for a kick-ass honeymoon, and of course, Wiley's many coaching obligations also slowed the process a bit...but we were finally able to get together, the weekend before we moved, at Goar Park in Dallas. And I must say...it was amazing! I highly recommend this for everybody...its much more relaxing, you're not pressured by the time constraints of the actual wedding day, and of course, it gives the bride another opportunity to don the dream dress again! So enjoy!!

Tiffany & Wiley :: Wedding

It's in the way they look at each other....you can tell they are utterly completely madly in love! Tiff and Wiley were married on Saturday January 9th surrounded by their fabulous friends and family. Though it was one of the coldest weekends in Dallas in 10 years, you could definitely feel the warmth and happiness coming from these two lovebirds!

Blogged by a blogger!

....and not just ANY blogger....one of THE bloggers of all bloggers, Ree Drummond, better known to some as "The Pioneer Woman!"

The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond, has an award-winning prolific blog you MUST follow...it includes a "cooking" category, as well as "confessions" and "photography"....she is not a PRO photographer, but an amazingly good picture-taker, she has hundreds of thousands of followers....she just released her first cookbook....we've made many of her recipes and they never let us down...

Anyhoo....from time to time she accepts submissions for various topics/photographic techniques....this "assignment" was for b&w photos....and she chose my image as one of a bunch she chooses to highlight!!

you can see it here, under "YOUR black & whites - Part 2" http://thepioneerwoman.com/photography/, scroll down quite a ways, and you'll see a photo of two people with a football between their feet....you can also see the image here, but you'll miss her witty comment!:


if you're not already a follower, bookmark her page and check it often...i don't know how she keeps it up....with 4 kids she homeschools too!

So thank you PW....even if I don't win a prize, it was, as they say, an honor just to be nominated!

Tiffany & Wiley :: Engagement Part III

Yep, you read correctly...Part III...Tiffany and Wiley decided they wanted to do 2 mini-engagement sessions instead of doing it all in one day....you can see their urban shoot here and here, and this is their "Nature" shoot. It was a cold and windy day here in TX, but you can hardly tell in the pictures....T & W...you guys were troopers, especially Tiffany, wearing short sleeves! And Wiley, if you caught a cold, I hope these make it worth it! I'm so excited for their wedding in January!

Ashley & Bobby :: Wedding Part II

When I think about this wedding...I remember how lovingly Ashley looked at Bobby all day.....and how he looked at her like he would walk through fire for her....what an amazing couple! Here are some more images from their day....thanks again for letting me be a fly on the wall!!
