I don’t always make a big deal out of who shot what picture that makes it to the blog. Sometimes I’ll claim one, or give him extra props… but on the whole, we’re a team, and it doesn’t really matter who shot what. We’re both SO competitive, we have to be careful not to let...

katrina & brandon : engagement
Katrina moves higher up on my list of favorite people every time I see her. I was introduced to Katrina by a co-worker of hers, my dear friend Hannah, and was SO excited for her when she said that her Mister had popped the question!
And, possibly someday, I’ll forgive her for running off to Hawaii...
stephanie & doug : engagement
Mack notices alot. Like, a-flippin-lot. He’s a very observant person. And he is who drew attention to my favorite thing about Stephanie and Doug, when we were shooting the couple’s engagement session.
“Look at how she’s kissing him,” Mack said. “It’s usually awkward for people to kiss on camera, but she kisses him like she means...
Mack commandeers the blog for a one-picture post
Chelsea showed me this shot when I walked in from work this evening. Apparently, it slipped past her in the original blog, AND in the tease she left on the client’s facebook. She felt sheepish about missing it, so was going to DEPRIVE (yes, I said DEPRIVE) you good people of these photos. Now, you...
meagan & eric : engagement
Every time we hang out with Meg & Eric, and we share stories and we laugh and we learn more about each other, we realize exactly how blessed we are that they found us. They’re more than the ideal clients… they’re becoming really wonderful friends.
That absolutely is one of the reasons why these are some...
sometimes, my brides spontaneously combust
It’s a real tragedy when my brides burst into waiting-anxiety-related flame.
So when Meagan, one of our favorite 2010 brides, claimed that she’d absolutely die if she had to wait until Tuesday to see the scheduled blog of her engagement photos, I took her very seriously. We just can’t have that happening!
Hopefully, this sneak peek will...
trish & jared : engagement
I wasn’t feelin’ the sleep last night. I have a head full of ideas and thoughts and dreams, and just couldn’t lay still.
That paid off for Trish & Jared… they’re getting to see the blog of their engagement portraits the day after we took them!
I had so much fun with these kids, exploring new places...
sydney & joel : engagement
Sydney & Joel’s Fort Worth engagement session has been my hottest session so far this year, but I think it just served as good practice for this cute couple. They’re getting married next June in Atlanta, so I’m sure they’ll have their share of scorching portrait experiences!
Sydney wanted to get her engagement portraits done before...
we’re back, baby!!!
In my head, trumpets are playing and all sorts of fanfare is being unleashed… because I think I’m a rock star sometimes.
But regardless of the fact that the world seems to be taking it lying down , McGowan Images is totally back and ready to rumble!
Yesterday, we got together with some of...
easy like sunday morning — tami & heath’s engagements
On the way to Tami & Heath’s engagement session one bright Sunday morning not too long ago, I was seriously doubting myself. We’d shot our last pre-baby wedding the night before, and I was eight different kinds of exhausted. I’d met and shot Tami before, so I knew she’d be perky and beautiful and high...
