Portrait : Ruby D : Flower Mound, TX

Sweet Ruby is the daughter of a friend of mine and has such a talent dancing! She usually gets photographed in her dance costumes so when I asked her to pose for me in "regular clothes" there was a bit of surprise and confusion! Haha! We had a blast exploring a hidden gem in the middle of Flower Mound and the flowers (and my model) couldn't have been better!
Love this little lady!

Family : The Siri Family

This family is Siri-ously amazing. :)

I just love them and feel like they are a part of my family. Jessica and I are best friends, our daughters are best friends, our sons will be best friends (they don't know this yet) and the husbands are besties too!

XOXO I just LOVE photographing this family!

Engagements : Mylie & Eric

My best friend (and favorite model), Mylie, is married now! She and her hubby, Eric, went off to have an intimate wedding at the Sandals Resort in St. Lucia. I WISH I could have gone there to celebrate with them, but maybe we can all go for "honeymoon/vow renewal" soon!

When they came back from their week-long vacation (jealous...haha!) we ran around and took some late engagement portraits. Honestly, it's never a bad time to take portraits with the person you love. I had my engagement portraits taken AFTER my wedding - sometimes that's just how things work out! For Mylie and Eric, she was finishing up teaching, he was graduating from Texas Tech with his Masters and after that they were moving Eric out to Lewisville so he could work! They had a bit of a busy schedule. :)

I absolutely LOVE these two and I am so very happy for them both.

Portrait Session : Jennifer

My sweet and talented friend, Jennifer, let me "practice using my new portrait lens" on her! I'm always happy to use my camera, especially with such a willing model! She was so much fun to work with and I'm excited about our re-kindled friendship! 

Jennifer and I met at Red Raider Orientation, the summer camp before college begins to get you familiar with class registration, campus map and traditions! So you can say, she was my very first Texas Tech friend! She's now a family and consumer science teacher at a high school in Pampa, Tx but her parents, whom she visits, live just down the road from me! 

Jennifer is a beautiful woman and I cannot wait to try some of her baking!!!!

Newborn Session : JP (1 Month)

This little man is just so much fun! He was born this April and due to both our families catching both strains of the flu bug, we had to postpone his newborn portraits until he was a whole month old! Believe it or not, his hairdo is all his doing! He came into this world completely styled! I guess that means he's destined to be a really cool kid just like his parents!

Earlier I had photographed his mama's maternity portraits and I just know JP is one lucky dude! He's got an awesome big sister to show him the ropes!
