Larry & Kristy

Kristy does my hair and I had the privilege of seeing her reaction the first time she viewed her wedding pictures. The same day I put them online I went in to get my hair done, so she watched the slideshow on the computer while she was doing my highlights. I must say it was the BEST response I've ever gotten from a client! She was crying and thanking me over and over, it totally made my day! I hope all my brides will feel that way about their pictures! Isn't she just adorable, I love this first pic of her...

David & Lacy

I've known these 2 for a long time now, they are such a fun and cute couple! I am so excited and honored to do their wedding in a few weeks!

Lance & Shannon

Wow, holy posting, right?!! (not to mention this my third post in a week, I'm on a roll!!) I usually only like to put up 2 or 3 pictures from a shoot, but I just loved this engagement session, I couldn't decide! It was really fun to do a different location than the usual engagement spots. We shot these at a farm down in Noble last Saturday. I was cracking up when some cows came over to see what was going on.

This couple was high school sweethearts and you could just see that they are so in love! She's going to be one gorgeous bride, can't wait to do your wedding in a few months! Hope you two enjoy...

I love how this one feels like you're spying on them : )

16 Years later...

So I haven't had the opportunity to do very many senior portraits, but I've always said I'd like to do seniors. They're such great subjects, young and fun, and they can do what you tell them to do without crying in the middle of the shoot (like newborns!)

If you've read my "about me" section on my website, you'd know that I talk about taking pictures of my friends' siblings when I was a kid. Well, this beautiful girl is actually one of the people I was referring to! When she was only 2 years old, her sister (who is still one of my best friends) and I dressed her up in all these different outfits and made her pose for us (my idea of course!) And now 16 years later I got to do it again when I did some senior pictures for her, how fun is that?!

Babies!

These pictures are really old, but I thought I'd go ahead and post them since I haven't been blogging! I've been doing lots of babies lately. All of these cuties are first borns, which is one of my favorite things about newborns, I absolutely LOVE seeing first time parents with their new child. It's so sweet how in love they are!

Tie the Knot

Thanks to everyone who came out Sunday to see us at Tie the Knot! It was great meeting you all.

Congratulations to Meghan I. on winning our drawing for the complimentary bridal session.

JOY

Wow. Just realized I am the WORST BLOGGER EVER!! But in my defense, I did take a much needed break over the holidays, which meant no shoots, no editing and... no blogging. Now that the holidays are over (and have been for awhile) I am getting back into the groove and have finally caught up on everything.

I'm really getting to enjoy this old passion of mine again, taking pictures!! It truly is a joy for me to meet new people and get to know them as I spend the day capturing pictures of them. And I'm also loving the editing again. It's so fun to me to take a good picture and make it great. And even more fun to turn a picture into a piece of art. My spring and summer have started to book up, so I should be having more to blog coming soon...

Kansas City Wedding

This wedding was such a blast!! Not only did I get to hang out with old college friends (who I hadn't seen since we graduated!) but I got to work with one of my best friends (amazing photographer in KC, http://www.kristaboan.com/) Bride and groom were beautiful, wedding party was so fun (and not to mention very timely!) locations were gorgeous! I even got to kick my shoes off and dance at the end of the night! What more could a girl ask for?! I love my job!!

More sneak peeks...

Here's another cute couple who's engagment pictures I did over the weekend. They were so cute, they've been together since they were 16! I love that! She is going to be one beautiful bride!!

Thanks guys for being so fun and laid back, I can't wait to do your wedding!

Okay so I've done a ton of shoots on OU's campus and I'd never heard of the Spoonholder! Who knew?! Apparently if you kiss in it, you're going to marry that person, looks like it's going to work for these two : )

(I also love that you can see McFarlin, the church they will be married at, in the background!)

The other cool thing about this spot is that the bride's grandpa was actually a member of the class of 1949, which was one of the classes who helped return this landmark after it was removed for renovations in the 80's.

Sneak Peeks!

I got to photograph this cutie when she was just a week old (she's one of my first blog posts!) and now she's 6 months already! I love getting to see babies grow up! Isn't she adorable?!! The poor girl was so tired, she was going on no nap, note to self: don't schedule baby shoots on Daylight Savings Day! But she was still perfect, just like she was as a newborn, happy and sweet!!

love birds

Okay I'm going to try to get better at this blogging business. To get me started, here's what I've been up to the last few months, a lot of engagements! I absolutely love doing newborn sessions and working with first time parents who are just so in love with their new tiny baby, BUT engagement sessions are just as fun! It's so sweet to work with couples that are so in love with each other! Both bring me back and remind me of when I was a newlywed and when I was a first time mom, seems like so long ago!!

This first couple was so fun, both graduated from OU, he played football and she cheered for OU, so where better to do their session than the OU campus, of course! As you can see, they're a beautiful couple, I can't wait to do their wedding!

This couple was also tons of fun. We went all over downtown OKC and even up on some rooftops! They're so laid back, can't wait to do their wedding too!

This couple was so sweet and SO in love!! They actually met on a blind date, so we incorporated that into one of their wedding photos, which I'll post soon!
