I first met Jennifer, Jacob and their pups at their photo session last fall and had such a great time reconnecting with them this October in downtown McKinney.
Jennifer, your eyes are out-of-control gorgeous.
 Hope to see this little family again next year for round three!
Bettye and Charles’ darling daughter Jessica contacted me about taking some photos of her parents to celebrate their 63rd wedding anniversary. It was the absolute sweetest, most precious session I’ve photographed to date.
I won’t write much more because I think Bettye summed it all up perfectly in just a few sentences, “What can I say about loving Charlie? I’m just glad he didn’t run the other way. Sixty-three years and we’ve only just begun. Truth is, he has taken good care of us always.”
After 63 years of marriage Betty still swoons each and every time Charles kisses her.
She’s putty in his arms.
Her laughs are probably similar to the 12-year-old giggle she had when they first met.
“Oh, Charles! Isn’t this so fun?!” she asks over and over again.
And maybe Charles wasn’t openly swooning. I don’t even recall a giggle. But the smile on his face as he looked into his wife’s eyes told me that he was putty too.
I can’t express with words how absolutely beautiful it was to see the love Bettye and Charles share — but I hope these photos show even a glimpse of it.
These photos were taken around Jessica’s lovely Ardmore bed and breakfast, the Shiloh Morning Inn and Jessica and her husband took such great care of us during our wonderful stay the evening of the shoot. And you’re going to be hard-pressed to ever find a nicer couple of people to welcome you in.
Thank you, Jessica, for giving me an opportunity to document such sweet, sweet love. Bettye and Charles, I wish you many more years of married bliss!
This is Harper and these are some of his two-year-old photos from when I was in New Braunfels this September. As you can see, he has an angel-face.
Next up is Sara and Brent’s engagement session and as of October they’re a pair of sweet newlyweds! Everyone clap!
(Good job.)
Celica and Aaron are also now newlyweds and here are a few of their engagement photos from September. Everyone do the newlywed clap again!
Oh, the Dotson family! This post is full of good news — this family just welcomed a new baby into their midst! Just keep clapping!
Also in September, I took the gorgeous Ashley’s bridals before her October wedding. Clap, clap, clap!
I also took my friend Keri’s bridals in September, and she got married that same month! Congratulations, Keri! More clapping!
Terri and Tim’s September wedding was so, so fun — especially the ninja turtle boutonnieres and the choreographed bride-groom dance to Justin Beiber’s “Boyfriend.”
Celica and Aaron’s rainy day wedding was my last to shoot in September but despite the raindrops that were literally falling on my head as I took their wedding party and bride-groom portraits it was still a lovely day documenting the newly-minted joining of Mr. and Mrs. Barnes.
So basically everyone in these photos either ended up with a spouse or new child or has a beautiful angel-face so0000 claps all around!
August in Texas may very well be consistently and unbearably hot and humid, but boy was it ever filled with some of the sweetest clients that made the heat well worth photographing in.
FIrst up is Jacklyn and Matt.
Guys, there are fewer things that make my heart happier than being asked to photograph anniversary sessions for couples whose weddings I’ve also photographed. It’s just such an honor to get to photograph such pivotal moments throughout the journey of a couple’s relationship. I photographed Jacklyn and Matt’s engagement sessionS, Jacklyn’s bridals, their August 2011 wedding day, and, now, their one-year anniversary photos in the town they lived in during their first year of marriage.
I thought the handmade “1” Jacklyn crafted for session was such a cute addition to signify their first marriage anniversary!
The Griffith’s are such a lively family from my hometown who had lots of fun together in front of the camera being their goofy selves. I wouldn’t have had it any other way.
HOW FUN IS JULIE’S RED HEADPIECE?!?! When she pulled it out for her’s and Trevor’s engagement session I just about died from giddiness. Fun accessories = fun photos. This precious couple weds next March and I can’t wait to get them back in front of my camera again — next time in wedding attire (plus fun accessories, I feel certain).
The day of Tammy and Tyler’s engagement session was one of those special sessions that got to include BOTH bursts of sunlight and super-moody-awesome clouds. I’m so looking forward to Tammy and Tyler’s wedding next April!
 YAY for August and all of the wonderful clients who filled this month. More August posts to come soon!
