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!

Love in a Wild Field


I just shot Kelsey and Clayton's engagement photos in Howe, Texas. It was my first rural shoot, and it was very exciting to be doing something a little different. Kelsey and Clayton both grew up in small towns and thought the fields and old town squares in the area would be great reflections of their personalities and backgrounds. So much fun to shoot, except when I stepped in a knee-high ant hill in a wild field. Ouch!
