Jessica and Ryan Go Clubbing

We had a blast shooting Jessica and Ryan's engagement in Deep Ellum. So fun to play with the funky colors. When we arrived, I got a fab surprise. The area had undergone a facelift, an old red iron gate is now avocado green, and there were new murals everywhere. Yay! A little change spices things up a bit. Special thanks to Club Dada for being so hospitable and inviting us in to shoot in the club.

Julie and John

All shots were taken at the Arboretum. It was hot, but it was beautiful.



Loved Julie's cool printed blouse.
We shot Julie and John's engagement at the Arboretum. It was beautiful, and surprisingly not too hot for June. Julie and John got married on the 19th. Wedding photos coming soon!

Michelle and James: Engaged in OKC!

The cool elevators at the restored historic Skirvin Hotel (rumored to be haunted!).


I love the way Michelle looks at James.




Michelle and James have had a mostly long-distance relationship. While they were dating they often met in Oklahoma City to spend time together. So we took a trip to OKC and shot their engagement there. It was so much fun. We had never been to Oklahoma City before. We heard lots of live music there and ate at Nonna's, where the desserts are FABULOUS. Michelle and James are such a great, fun couple, and they are getting married at the train depot in Temple in September. Can't wait!

100 Acres

We rode around the ranch in the carts that fee the cows. So of course the cows followed us everywhere!

Getting cozy in the cow squeezer.
We almost cancelled the shoot due to gross weather. The skies on the verge of rain were gorgeous!!! I'm so thankful that we didn't cancel!


This cool "sculpture" is actually a hay bailer! It reminded both Elizabeth and me of the cool yard sculptures in the movie "Twister." Even though Kenny was unsure of its artistic properties, he cooperated with my sculpture/bailer photo idea. He's a good sport.

This month we traveled to Centerville, Texas to shoot Elizabeth and Kenny's engagement at their ranch. When I showed up Elizabeth's fabulous makeup artist Randee was finishing up her makeup and Kenny gave me the tour. The big tour. 100 acres big. So many possibilities. So many gorgeous trees! It was such a blast shooting with Elizabeth and Kenny and all of their cows too!

A (Mayan) Ruined Engagement!

While we were in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, for Sarah and Geral's wedding, we went out the day before the wedding and shot an engagement shoot at the Mayan ruins in Tulum. We had so much fun shooting at the ruins and at the beach next to the ruins. And yes, we got completely soaked by the sneaky tide. It comes in with no warning!

Courtney and Paul: Engaged

We had fun shooting Courtney and Paul's engagement at the Shops at Legacy. Not to mention a little verbal publicity from spectators, commenting, "They must be celebrities...look at her porcelain skin!" We had a fun little coffee break while waiting for the sun to go down so we could get some cool night shots. The trees around the pond were lit up, so cool! Courtney and Paul are getting married this Saturday. Be-earlied congrats to you two!
