Shawndra and John O : Just Because

12-04-08

That is a picture taken from John and Shawndra Onwuchekwa’s wedding taken a year ago. John and Shawndra ’s wedding was my 3rd one to ever shoot, back when I was still learning all the ropes (not that I have learned all of them, always room to grow!) for weddings. I was so grateful for them trusting me to capture their day even when they didn’t even know me! What a blessing.

Now one year later they contacted me again to take some pictures for their one year anniversary! I was blown away and thankful they would have me back to take more pictures. John and Shawndra are truly a delight to work with, they are probably the easiest couple I have worked with when shooting. They are laid-back, in love, and ready to have some fun with pictures.

Thank ya’ll so much for having me take your pictures again, and I hope to see you again for your 2 year anniversary! Enjoy the pictures!

ally barnett : senior

It has been quite a long time since I have had the opportunity to shoot another high school senior session. I love getting to hang out, meet new people, get to know them, and find out how to incoporate all of that into their session so their personality shines through. Ally and her parents were awesome, and we got to have some fun walking around the square in Denton and we go to do some shooting in a loft on the Square and hang out on the rooftop for some pictures thanks to my friend Stormy Shippy! For this shoot Ally let me know that she is a dancer and that she is a Christian and wanted that to show through somehow in her pictures. So we got everything she brought along and I worked everything in throughout the shoot and tried to keep everything as natural as possible, and not let anything turn out ‘cheesy’. These are some of my favorite images from the session. Enjoy!

This is Ron. Ron is an art teacher. Just like me. Ron wanted some pictures for himself just because so we got together a few weeks ago in Mesquite and had a mini-session. We found some great walls and textures in the small area we were in and we even got to see one of Ron’s old students who just happened to be hanging around where we were shooting, ha. Well here are some of my favorite shots from the session. Enjoy! Leave some comments for Ron, he likes them!

lee + lauren : engagement

Engagement session just may be my favorite sessions to shoot, getting to spend time with couples that love each other and just want to have a good time makes for fun sessions! I got to spend some time with Lauren and her fiance Lee a few weeks back in the Arts District in Dallas, I met Lauren through her mom who is a fellow art teacher in Mesquite. I am always honored to be chosen to be the photographer for someone’s wedding and engagement, especially when I get to step outside my own circle of friends. Thanks so much for allowing me to spend time with you, get to know you, and take some pictures, I look forward to your wedding! Enjoy the pictures.

I had the pleasure of shooting Korey and Kelly’s wedding 2 weeks ago and now since the wedding has past I thought it would be a good time to share some of Kelly’s bridal portraits from our session together. We had this session at a church in Highland Park and I enjoyed every second! It was such a beautiful church and it was so great for them to allow us to shoot there. Here are a few of my favorites. Enjoy!
