Texas wedding and portrait photography BLOG

Welcome

I love the camera because it gives the ability to preserve the beauty of life. As I look through old albums that belonged to my grandparents, and my own wedding album, I am filled with delight and a deep thankfulness for what I hold in my hands. Through those images I am able to participate in the life, love, joy, and even the grief and sadness, of my family. This is priceless to me. I know that it is also priceless to my clients.

This blog is my outlet for whatever I have on my mind, as well teasers from recent sessions. It is my goal for past, present, and future clients to learn a bit more about me here. Oh, and my blog loves to be loved on, so don't be shy. Visit often and drop a comment here and there!

This past weekend I had the pleasure of traveling out to Midland, Texas for Stephanie and Chris‘ fabulous wedding! It was an affair to remember, to be sure, and I was honored to be a part of it. I had a blast meeting their families, hanging out with the girls, scheming with the ushers who had their eyes on some lovely ladies, and laughing it up with Grandpa Dub (and no matter what he tries to tell you, I NEVER danced on top of the table!!).

OH! And a bit of trivia for you! The church where Stephanie and Chris were married, First United Methodist Church in Midland, is the same church former President George W. Bush and Laura Bush were married in back in 1977.

Okay, on with the pictures! I’m breaking this up into at least two posts so that it doesn’t get too big. It is always so hard to choose which images to blog!!! These are some of my favorites from the first part of the day:
