Allison | Senior Portrait

****I am so sorry. Somehow this posted without pictures. I apologize. They should be there now. I hope that you enjoy them!!****

This is my baby sister graduating from High School!!! This is SO insane!

So since she is my little sister, I asked to do her Senior Portraits. It was such an honor. I am in disbelief that she is graduating...anyone else out there have a younger sibling and still see them as 12?? That's me totally. I forget all the time how grown up she really is. These pictures really show it, too!!

I hope you enjoy these as much as I did taking them. It was a lot of fun for me and a fun way for me to be apart in her graduation!

The next two are a little more 'traditionally' posed than what I normally do. My mom wanted some more traditional looking ones, and this is what we did. I think they turned out nicely. :)

I think this next one is one of my favorites from the shoot. She looks so much older! You're beautiful sister. :)

 

Thanks for looking!! I hope you are enjoying your week!!

Lena Pope Chapel | Venue

Venue: Lena Pope Chapel, Ft Worth TX

Not too long ago, I did a wedding at the Lena Pope Chapel, in Ft Worth. We did Mary’s bridal pictures and wedding there at this chapel.

The architecture is so well done. There are many tall windows (which can be hard for a photographer) allowing light to flow freely through the chapel, beautiful light fixtures, and so forth. It was a great place to shoot at.

After we did Mary’s bridal portraits, Mary was asked if they could use one of the pictures from her shoot on their website! What an honor to me! Mary asked me and I of course said, “Yes!” I hadn’t heard anything in a while, so I thought I’d check it out. And lo, there was the photo on the “Donations” page:

  

I really feel honored. If you are a bride, this is a gorgeous venue and you should check it out if you’re getting married in the DFW area.

Have a great Wednesday!

The Hartsfield Family | Family Portrait - Holiday Portrait

I first met Janelle at the church I went to while I was in college. It's hard not to want to get to know Janelle, as she is such a sweetheart. I know many people who would agree with me!

Later on, after Josh and I moved and began going to a different church, I kept up with her through her blog and watched her daughter grow up. She is the most beautiful little girl ever. That's the great things about blogs and online social networks. You can keep up with people that you could easily lose contact with when you move.

Anyways, Janelle messaged me on facebook a few weeks ago and we set up a time in the frigid cold to do a short session of her family. They were very brave. They kept telling Ella, "We're almost done!" (even though all of us knew that we still had about the entire shoot left as we just started!). It was cute.

  

I just LOVE this picture of Ella. She is so cute. 

 

Have a GREAT weekend!!

The Hall Family | Family Session

Meet the Hall/Hammon family. I LOVE this family very much. They are all very dear to my heart.

I first met the Hammon's through Apartment Life/CARES through our church. After first meeting the Hammon's there, I ended up working full time at the place where Chase worked. Pretty crazy - It's a small world after all! :)

I later met Elizabeth's Mom, Kim, through different circumstances and events, as well as Elizabeth's sisters.

Kim contacted me not too long ago wanting to get some pictures of her and her grandbabies. They were all so cute - and cranky. :) I'm not going to lie, they all needed a nap! I think everyone would agree. They cried a lot - but it made for some fun pictures!! :)

I unfortunately cannot post any of the Hammon's children because of certain laws (they are foster parents). It was really hard not posting them because their kiddo's are so cute, but, I have to obey the law. Just FYI. :)

Anyways, without further adieu, here is this beautiful family!!

These next few pictures are so cute of Martin. He really liked his teddy bear, that's for sure. 

I love this couple! They are amazing - and very inspiring. I love their hearts. :) 

I love the quilt shots! Unfortunately I can't post the pictures of the Hammon's with their kiddos in the quilt, but trust me, it's really adorable!! 

 

By the way, that quilt that you see in those pictures is a quilt my Mom made me. She is an AWESOME quilter - let me tell you. She has made me three quilts and they are beautiful - very warm. And they make for great pictures! :)

Thanks for looking!

Josh & Jennifer | Engaged!

This session was much fun. I met Josh through his sister Rachel (who is a wedding beautician - check her out here) who I went to college with. Josh wanted to propose to his girlfriend and then take pictures afterwards. After a few emails we had it all set up at the Omni Hotel in Ft. Worth.

Let me tell you - it was so sweet being able to watch him propose to Jennifer! I was very thankful that I was able to document their first few hours engaged! :)

The Omni was sure beautiful that day. I couldn't help but snap a few of the actual building.

This first picture was right before he proposed. Unfortunately, I was changing my position because I couldn't see her face and he decided to go down on one knee!! 

This next picture, you can tell Jennifer is on cloud nine! I was too right after my hubs proposed to me. It's such a sweet time! :) 

I don't know why, but I love this next picture! 

NICE job on the ring Josh! It's gorgeous! 

CONGRATS Josh and Jennifer!
