Welcome!
I'm so very ecstatic that you decided to join the party.  It is my life's passion to keep you entertained through my photographs of weddings, babies, my family, and pretty much anything that moves me. 

Stick around and become part of the family. 
Come early, come often, leave comments.

And some say this baby is shy.  Harper resembles a shy kid for the first five minutes of our sessions.  Then, I suppose she realizes that I am the lady with the camera and that I mean no harm, because those beautiful eyes light up and a huge smile breaks out and the flirting begins!

For her 1 year old session, we hit up a coffee shop so Harper could have a taste of a blueberry muffin, ran around storefronts, and eventually stopped in at the local nursery to get our green on.  Not only did Harper turn heads, but she showed off her speediness, her curiosity, and her charm.

I have loved working with Harper and her mommy, Crystalyn and daddy, Robin from the get-go.  Though our baby plan year is up, I hope to stay in touch with these cool cats so I can hear all about Miss Harper's adventures!

Oh, sweet, sweet Carson is growin' up.  His hair has been tamed (or trained by Jason) but that flirty smile and big blue eyes have only gotten more captivating!  Carson's got loads of teeth coming in, loves doggies (in books and in real life!), is as happy as a clam and is a total snugglebug.  He is beyond precious, and he really never had a chance to be anything but.  Mom, Kelly and Dad, Jason are two of my favorite clients and I'm so glad we have grown to be friends!  It is always such a joy to be around them, which makes my job, well, not feel like a job at all.  =)  I'm really excited to see Carson when he's a one year old.  I bet he'll run circles around me.  Yeah.  I'm gonna carb load that day.

What a happy baby! Loving the "legs" picture. And that last one is just far too precious and sentimental for words to describe.

For those of you who don't celebrate Baby Friday, shame on you.  It's a perfect day to celebrate nothing more than just getting closer to the weekend.  We get festive with our neighborhood besties almost every week, usually by hitting up Mi Cocina...our drug of choice.  How can ya pass up good Mexican food and a Mambo Taxi (potent sangria swirl margarita)?  We never just say no to that.  We're weak, the whole lot of us!

Last Baby Friday, we hit up Mi Co's and had our regulars...our regular drinks, regular food orders, and our regular booth in the back.  We love having a regular booth.  It's our Cheers.

After din-din, we ventured out to the lawn at Watters Creek to hear an 80s cover band.  To say the kids were getting their swerve on would be the understatement of the century.  DANG, those kids were movin'!  And, oh yeah.  They ended up on stage.  Would you expect anything less?  Here is what I captured of the perfection that is Baby Friday.

This might be the most yin and yangiest couple I've ever photographed.  She's an energetic, outspoken extrovert times infinity (read:  firecracker), and he's calm, quiet, and maybe even a little bit shy.  Both are as sweet as can be and so accommodating to everyone around them and especially to each other.  I think that's a recipe for a wonderful relationship, right?!

Kim, Joe, and I bounced around the Fort Worth Stockyards recently during their engagement session (beers in hand, of course) and saw amazing boots, bikes, horses, and warm and cozy rustic surroundings.  Salt of the earth, that's them.  Kim and Joe are getting married in May out in Wichita Falls (Kim's hometown), and I can't wait to photograph their big day!  Stay tuned, as it's right around the corner!

My cutie pie mermaid of a Millie has been back in swimming lessons since January.  Big arms, treading water, going down the big slide on her tummy...wow, we've come a long way.

I finally got my act together enough to bring my gear down there to photograph her progress and silly faces and everything in between.  This may be her favorite activity in the world.  It's a good thing we're almost finished with the pool in the back yard because this little fish loves water!  I think all we need is one of these and we'll be officially set for summer.  Pool party at the Meffords'!
