T Bridal Portraits

How fun to see a coach all gussied up like this!  T is a coach at my school and my first bride!  Yipee! Something I learned on my first bridal shoot: Bridal Sessions take a lot longer than other sessions because moving around in the dress and keeping it intact is challenging and time-consuming. That’s okay, next time I’ll know ahead of time! This was so fun! And, what about those red shoes????

The E family

A BIG family, how fun! We have mom, dad, sons, and daughter and her husband. I loved this opportunity to set up some really cool family poses! They were a lot of fun and great mixture of personalities! Besides being a beautiful family, I love the way they coordinated their outfits and the way the colors worked with the backgrounds.

Granny’s 80th Birthday, Texarkana Special Event Photographer

It was an honor to be a part of a special day for a special lady. My friend’s granny was having a birthday party. Quickly I felt welcome by a sweet family, and a lady who looked great for her age.  Sadly, Granny got sick and went to be with her savior just a couple months later. I am so glad I was able to capture these memories for this lovely family.

The W Girls, Texarkana Child Photographer

These girls were one of my first siblings to photograph when I first began, and I am discovering how much fun it is to follow a baby and family as they grow!  Four girls is quite different than my own family, and I find it so fun that these girls love to WORK IT for the camera!  What a fun way to spend an hour! Is this a dream job or what?

Hope, Texarkana Child Photographer

Little Miss Hope is for sure one of the most fun models ever. She was EVERYWHERE for this session, but this is exactly what I love as a photographer. It is always nice to get a few good posed shots, but capturing personalities is my passion, and Miss H has plenty personality. I could have taken pictures of her all day long.

The H family Texarkana Family Photographer

 

How fun to go out to this family’s home and take pictures on their land. We had a great time walking around, and Daddy H showed me a bunch of good spots. I love taking pictures at new and different locations, and I hope this family will treasure these shots for years to come. The girls were precious, and little H was everywhere, showing off her sweet lively personality.
