just the three of us — Amanda & Kase’s engagement

The title to this blog post should actually say, “Amanda & Kase & Zach’s Engagement Shoot”! You’ll see further down in the post where Amanda’s two-year-old son brightens up the images with his sweet smile.
Families like these are close to my heart, because we were one. Mack is an amazing father to our six and...

j&c’s photobooth fun

At Jeremy and Christy’s wedding earlier this month in Odessa, Mack and I debuted something new we’ve been working on… the McGowan Images “Embarrass Yourself” Photobooth.
Now, that’s not the official name. There isn’t, actually, an official name. But “Embarrass Yourself” is what usually happens, and makes the best photobooth pictures, so I’m going to roll...

I.Have.No.Words. — featured on Rock ‘N’ Roll Bride!

I feel like a girl in an old movie who just got “the guy”. Except… I have the guy, AND I have this, so I’m probably even happier than those women ever were.
Check out what I woke up to this morning, and then join me in running around the room dancing like a ninny:

my blog isn’t big enough for J&C’s morning after shoot

Remember this shot?

I’m about to show you the rest.
I’ve narrowed this post down as much as I can, but it’s still ridiculously long, because these are some of my favorite pictures we’ve ever taken. So, um… I’m sorry? You’re welcome? I don’t know if extra long posts are a good thing or a bad thing,...

over the moon — Jeremy & Christy’s wedding

That’s how she described herself, after marrying her best friend. She was, in her own words, “Over the moon.”
His words were a bit different, but the feeling was the same. He said his face hurt from smiling, but he couldn’t help it every time he looked at her.
Surrounded by the friends that know them best,...

oh my goodness, oh my goodness…

Man, do I have some stuff for you!!!
Hubby says I should wait until the first of three blogs from this weekend is ready to go before I share anything. He says it lessens the effect, and that people won’t care as much the second time around.
I say, I can’t flippin’ wait until they’re all done...

do it your way — Mike & Allison’s wedding

Alison is one of those people that’s adorable even over the phone.
When she called me about photographing she and Mike’s wedding, she was shy… almost apologetic… as she told me what a small affair it’d be. Wednesday evening, at Rockledge Park on Lake Grapevine, with just 20 guests.
I know she was glad when I jumped...
