why I’ll be moving slowly over the next few days
Let me assure the two clients I have coming in for portrait sessions this weekend that I am fine, and will still be rockin’ their shoots… just might be moving a little slow.
This is why:
There are apparently targets painted on all my vehicles. Once again, I wasn’t being dumb, or irresponsible, or even breaking the...
“go start your fairytale” — Christian & Jimmie’s wedding
There’s something in every wedding that makes me cry. Mack says it’s because I’m a big fat sissy… I say it’s because, unlike him, I have a soul. Potayto, potahto.
Christian and Jimmie’s ceremony on Saturday was filled with meaning, from beginning to end. They were married in a pecan bottom where they used to play...
early morning nuttiness
Things that are out of the ordinary tend to make me pretty happy.
That’s one of the reasons I was looking forward to the “family” shoot first thing Saturday morning. Amber and her twin sister were coming with Amber’s boyfriend and her best friend, and I was pretty sure we were going to have a blast.
In...
the ‘no frills’ bride — Christian’s bridals
This young woman knows exactly who she is.
Her dress is simple and understated… exactly what she wanted.
Her wedding tomorrow afternoon will be classy and heartfelt… exactly what she wanted.
And of course, her soon-to-be-husband adores her… which, I’m sure, is exactly what she wanted!
After Christian and Jimmie’s rehearsal tonight, I was even more excited about their...
plugging away… a catch-all blog
I won’t lie, this day has been pretty rotten. But I have a few things worth blogging, so I thought sharing with my dear friends (both “real” and of the “e” variety) might cheer me up!
Late last week, I got in the gallery wraps that a client ordered, and I was just floored by how...
Babies R Hard — August & Bennie
My dear friend Carl, who suffered through several ridiculous classes with me in college, and his wife just welcomed their second baby boy. I was very very excited. Of course, the majority of my excitement was due to being happy for this sweet, sweet family. But I’ll admit, there was a healthy chunk of excitement...
Dubble Bubble — Lyndie & Mike’s engagements
Lyndie is campaigning really hard for my “Favorite Client of 2009″ award. I haven’t yet decided what that person is going to win… a box of Cheez-its, perhaps. But that’s beside the point. The point is that Lyndie is a pretty dadgum fantastic person.
She and Mike drove out from Arlington for their engagement session, and...
oooh, i got lucky! — Melissa & Ellis’s wedding
It tried REALLY hard to rain on us on Saturday. There was rain and thunder and lightning and other badness in the forecast. Every once in a while, I’d feel the clouds spit at me just a little bit, as if to remind me “Yep, it could still come a gully washer.”
But love and lots...
“shootin’ skeet & huntin’” — christian and jimmie’s engagements
I make it a point to try to get to know my clients before I shoot them. When you know someone’s personality, it’s easier to capture that uniqueness in a picture. And for a couple, it’s twice as important.
So, before we got started shooting Christian and Jimmie’s engagement portraits on their family land in Jacksboro,...
