.lynn. + .jon. e-session

Lynn and Jon were too much fun. We shot at The House of Dang , Deep Ellum, and then ended at the Fair! The smell of fried everything still lingers....Lynn had such a great vision for her e-session, and I was so excited to try new things. House of Dang was the type of place I've wanted to shoot at for so long now! Thanks to House of Dang for letting us turn the place upside down--you guys rock!
love love love this top image...it's as if there is a glass window between us

And this image above is a shot I've had in mind for over a year now...all I needed was that perfect couple that was willing :)

"he loves me...he loves me not"


"he loves me!"








These two are super sweet and I'm so excited to shoot their wedding in March! Lynn...I know it's going to be so glam!

jamie. + .bill. e-session!

This is Bill & Jamie- two super sweet people with fun loving personalities! I went to high school with Jamie so it's really cool that I get to shoot their wedding in January, I can't wait! These two have such a sweet story...Jamie was Bill's son's teacher and after much pursuing, Bill won Jamie's heart <3

Amanda was super open when it came to her bridals. She fully trusted me and I think we accomplished some beautiful imagery together. She's such a gorgeous girl as is, but in her Vera Wang gown, she's a knock out. Vera Wang happens to be one of my favorite dress designers so I was really excited to shoot her in her dress, it's gorgeous!


classic (image below)


I think this image looks like a perfume add :)

I saved the best for last...I love love love this image (above)

Can't wait for your wedding Amanda!!

{up next is Myrna and T.J.'s wedding!}

.leslie. bridals.

Whew...what a summer it's been! I want to share Leslie's bridal portraits with you because I never got the chance to when I posted her wedding images.



Isn't she stunning in that birdcage veil?? Love it!!



I feel that the sun flair added emotion and warmth to these images. That kind of light makes me want to dance and twirl in it!

sassy!

*A little side note about your bridal session and why you should have one (northerners ;)*

a. It's fun to get your bridal portrait taken because when will you ever wear tulle on your head, and a dress that extravagant?

b. What if you realize you hate your shoes, hair, makeup, or bouquet?

c. It's just more practice in front of the camera.

d. no pressure the day of the wedding to get a bazillion bridal portraits because you've already taken a bazillion.

And lastly... Heather's theory on bridal portraits:

Your bridal portrait should be different, in my opinion a little fashionable. Choose a location that is completely different then your wedding. Lets be creative, and edgy. I promise we'll get a lot of "normal" shots if you will, the day of your wedding. I want you to go "oh my gosh I never thought I could look like that!" This is your opportunity to really get outside of the box. You've got nothing to lose because you'll get in that dress and veil again on your wedding day. We can both show what we can do ;)

.mike. + .courtney. e-session.

Mike and Courtney were so much fun and up for anything! They're getting married in Mexico I believe this fall right Courtney? I'm so honored that they asked me to shoot their engagement pictures. Thank you Mike and Courtney!
most would hate her hair in her face but i actually think it sets the mood

Mike is King :)

my favorite!
