Hoai-thu Granbury Senior Portriats

This evening I had a lovely time with Hoai-thu, her mom and her friend Ashley. We took a ton of fun photos. Here's a little sneak peek for you.
She's a seriously beautiful girl with amazing brown eyes.
We started off at her house and took photos inside and on her swing. Love that smile!
Then we went down by the lake and found this cool tree. She's an awesome model.
Stopped at a cool pink building and climbed in the window.
And finally stopped at a field of sunflowers and ended up getting stalked by a horse. I'm not kidding either. As we were walking across the field the two horses followed us. It was pretty funny, they wanted to be in the photos too!
Thanks for hanging out with me and I'll have all your photos online in a few days!

Wedding Details

A few weeks ago I shot a wedding in Boston with a friend of mine and we got some amazing images. You know how I love the details so here are a few of my faves.

It was a Sri Lankan ceremony and as part of the ceremony they tied their hands together. I love it when "tying the knot" is part of the wedding, it makes me smile.
Their toasting flutes.
The rings on her Manolo Blahniks
The rings on the beadle leaves which were an important part of the wedding ceremony.

Kyndel's College Graduation Photos

I've finished editing Kyndel's Senior Portrait Session and there are so many great photos. Ahhh-mazing! So here's the story. Kyndel and I both grew up in Amarillo and I started babysitting her when she was about a year or so old until I went off to college. We reconnected on facebook and the last time I saw her in person before Saturday was at my wedding...nine years ago. Wow. She has turned into a beautiful woman. I'm really happy I got to take her senior portraits and share in the excitement of her graduation from college...it's so cool to share in the important milestones in the lives of people you love.

This is her sweet little dog Remi.
A few in the historic downtown area.
At the football stadium with the puppy.
Beautiful girl!
A fun one with the puppy and a sexy one with her boyfriend who was at her apartment when we came back. You know I can't resist taking photos of a gorgeous couple!
Aren't they cute?

Congratulations of your graduation!

Kyndel's Graduation Photos

Yesterday I went to Nacodoches to take some senior portraits for Kyndel on the campus of Stephen F. Austin University. She will be graduating in December so we wanted to take advantage of the beautiful fall  weather and make some photos to remember her senior year. Here's a little sneak peek!

She graduates in 2010...and loves football.
HEr cute little dog Remi came along with us to the football field.
Isn't she gorgeous?

Richard and Trish's Fort Worth Wedding

I've been working to edit Richard and Trish's wedding photos all week and the more I look at them the more I like them. Why? Because they are a beautiful couple who got marring in a beautiful historic building and put so much of themselves into the wedding. Their photos make em smile when I look at them because they are so happy and it shows in each and every photo from the day. They were married at the Historic YWCA in downtown Fort Worth with the ceremony downstairs and the reception upstairs in the ballroom. Flowers were from Central Market in Fort Worth and they were just gorgeous.

The ballroom has a stage with this gorgeous curtain framing the reception room.
The rooms where Richard and Trish were getting ready were connecting so they could talk to each other through the door. It was seriously cue to see them not being able to see each other.
The wedding has started and Richard is still afraid he's going to see her too soon :)
Trish was all smiles coming down the aisle
While Richard teared up as the ceremony started. That's it. Right there. That's why I photograph weddings. To capture that pure emotion, the joy the happiness. The forever.
I love this on the left are Richards parents holding hands during the ceremony and on the right, Trish's parents exactly the same.
And now Richard and Trish holding hands after they are married.
The ceremony was in front of the fireplace and it was just wonderful.
Afterwards we went outside and had some fun with the bridal party.
A few ring photos. First on their cake topper that Richard hand-painted to look like the beautiful couple and second tied to their favor boxes.
Now for some alone time
Sweet.
Love their smiles here.
Her smile is just so cute as he kisses her on the neck.
Finally...a silhouette at sunset. What an amazing couple!
