Mary messaged to be get maternity pictures done with her love earlier this week.  We booked fast and the next day we captured these beautiful pictures.  Mary was glowing, happy and excited to be in front of the camera, she was a natural.  We did a little bit of walking, but got so many good […]

This photo session wasn’t like any other session.  We checked the weather mid week and the weather seemed to be perfect, mid 60’s and clear skies.  Saturday comes and its in the 40’s, cloudy and super windy.  Our plan was to go to the mountains in Oklahoma to shoot this Indian style maternity session.  As […]

Its true, I got my dream lens.  I have waited over a year to get it.  Even though I wanted to get the f/1.4, I got the f/1.8, which is a triple amount in savings.  It is mostly for portraits, which I do most in my business.  I can’t wait to share with you all […]

Meet Kevin!!  This photo session was about a dog and his best friend.  Kevin is my cousin and I got to go visit with him while I was in Dallas over the weekend.  I haven’t seen him in awhile, so while we were there the sun was sitting and I asked if he wouldn’t mind […]
