Family Portrait Time!

It's that time of year when the parks in Dallas/Fort Worth are full of families getting photos done for their holiday cards, and I love the families that choose me to capture some special memories for them. The last few weeks have been filled with sessions and I've been editing like crazy, but I wanted to try to share a few from Jessica and Gregg's family session over the weekend. Such a fun family. The two older kids are heading off to college next year while T is turning two.

We actually set up the session to get some two year old photos of this sweet little man. Love his smiles...he was full of energy and loved being outside for the photos.

 I had the kids all help me get mom and dad to smile for a photo too :)

 Love these smiles and cuddles.

 But most of all I love this...so cute. Once he got started running under the "bridge" he didn't want to stop.

Thanks for having me take your family portraits this season! I'll have them all ready for you soon!

Tori & Ian are married!

Last night I had the pleasure of photographing Tori and Ian's perfect wedding. It was magical. Here's a quick peek at their amazing evening at the Dallas Arboretum planned by the fabulous Kristen Powell of Amazing Events. Gorgeous!

Congratulations to the beautiful bride and groom, Tori and Ian.

The ceremony went of beautifully and then the reception was held on the lawn under strings of lights. It was a fairy tale in green and gold.

Sweet first dance moment.

 While the guests were lining up for the exit I got a chance to grab a few last photos of the happy couple. I love these.

 Flower petal sendoff!

 I'll have more photos edited soon! Congratulations!!

Fort Worth Family Portraits

I love this family...that is all.

I think I've been taking their family photos for about 5 or 6 years now...maybe more and this year they added a sweet puppy to the mix.

 And what a sweet dog she is...seriously...this dog was smiling for photos. Although the outtakes where she's licking Ethan in the face make me laugh.

Taylor and the kids were awesome and made this the easiest photo session ever.  We got so many great photos with everyone looking at the camera and smiling.

 We did try to get one without the dog and Taylor totally photo-bombed it. Really...the dog was not supposed to be in this one and she popped up at the last minute.

A few more cute kid and dog photos.

 Lucy is getting so grown up.

 And Ethan, as always, was my favorite model.

A few more of the kids.

 Love these with dad and with mom.

The girls and the boys.

Love this family photo.

So we had to get a little silly into our session.  Pre-jump, jump and untucked post-jump.

 Eho wants to watch mom and dad kiss? not E!

 Love these two.

 So we've been taking a version of this basic photo since Lucy was about 1 where Ethan is kissing her and I love it. My favorite.

Thanks for always making great photos for me to take :)
