There was a calm that morning when the call came in. Everything about this whole experience was calming. I had been "on-call" for about a week leading up to the big day. I was so honored that Dwight and Samantha trusted me to capture this moment for them. It was a pretty big deal to me.  Thank you again Dwight and Samantha! You guys are truly blessed!

The Gonzalez Family had never had family pictures done. I was thrilled to be their first! I look forward to many more sessions with this family in the future!

No matter where life takes you and no matter the age of your kids, I highly recommend getting a session in every so often of you and your kids. Or you and your parents. Dads and daughters. Moms and sons....you get the idea. I have yet to be in front of the camera with my kids at times, but its scheduled for this summer. I am making it a point to have some camera time with the girls and with my son. Its a fun session and they are typically full of laughter. And those are my favorite. 

I've been wanting to write about this session for a while. And words would escape me at times. Then there were times I had no pen and paper handy and words and emotions would flood my mind. So I sit here today with music blaring and thinking about my dear friend. A friend that is going thru some life altering situations.  I've known this woman since 2007. We were co-workers at one time. And we have been friends since. So my heart aches for her during this time.  When I ask for her permission to post a few on my blog, I wasn't too surprised she gave me the OK. But she did. And here I am. Taken back to the day at the railroad tracks. The day we cried and laughed together. Much needed cries and MUCH needed laughter. Vanessa, I love you dearly and cant wait until we meet again. And every time it will be easier. Thank you for trusting me to get you thru a small section of your situation. I have wine ready when ever you want to come have a drink!

Very dear to my heart friends wanted me to capture a maternity session! I was beyond pleased to do their pictures! I've known Dwight since....umm....well....since before birth! Samantha was a beautiful pregnant woman! I was so honored to capture this moment for her and for the whole family. 

I love engagements.  Jake and Anna will be getting married in one week! I LOVE that I will also be a part of her day!  Too cute! Thank you (again) for braving the Panhandle winds with me. Sometimes that is NO easy task. I A.DORE this picture. 

I love that this job will allow me to meet new people. I love meeting new people! When I received a call to update Sanja and Randal's photos, I was pretty excited. It was a cool, crisp, fall day in Amarillo and we took great advantage of the changing trees. Theses are a few of my favorites.  Thank you again Sanja and I look forward to many more sessions with you in the future!  HAPPY FRIDAY!

October 25, 2014 I photographed my first wedding. I loved that I was able to just do my thing.   It was a very laid back wedding. Very sweet. Nothing cuter.  Sisterly love. I totally get that.  Mom and all her sweet daughters. These guys.... ....Clearly love each other  Huge, fun family The women of the wedding No matter how many weddings I ever have in the books, this will forever be my favorite. And if I ever wanted to copy it, I would feel like I was cheating on the original ;) The sweetest Dad and Daughter picture.  If I could get paid in yummy cake I would photograph 15 weddings a month!! Life size replica of their cake topper.  I may have had some tears at this point. Weddings make me cry with joy.  Sheri and Rustee, Thank you for allowing me to photograph your wedding. I was a nervous wreck that day in hopes I captured everything that you wanted me to. The

This little cutie right here..... stole the day. Mom and Daughter sessions are a favorite of mine. Moms always always always need updated pictures of their kids. No matter the age. Fun day in late October.  Thank you Rachel for trusting me to capture the family photos you wanted. I cant wait to capture more memories for you!
