A bit about me

Falling in love with photography came easy for me.  I was ready for some creativity.   Some quick things about where I came from.  

From Dallas Texas (I love Texas and that whole bit), went to a very small school kindergarten to senior year (yes same school).   I was a collegiate cheerleader at Texas Tech University, met my handsome husband there (he played football, and yes, we realize the cheesiness of that situation) and then I was a high-heeled wearing equities trader for a hedge fund for the few years between college and motherhood.   I loved that job; I thought it was pretty cool.   Motherhood changed my life and my passion became my children.   Photography became a natural extension of capturing my children’s life moments.   The type A in me couldn’t just settle for mediocracy.  I know numbers and I want to know why my camera is doing what it is doing!  Several hundred hours later of classes, workshops, reading  and seminars… here I sit with my Canon camera (I’m a big time Canon girl) in front of my imac (I’m a big time Mac girl).  Actually a teacher nicknamed me that once… Mac girl.  

So what is in my bag??  The Canon 5D Mark II, 24-70 2.8, and the 70-200 2.8 IS… 

Mt. Hermon {Frisco Texas Photography}

Here are a few more pictures from Mt. Hermon.   The kids loved riding the steam engine train.

haley b - so fun! you look cute in those MJ pants!!!

Lori - fun pic of the 5 of you on that huge tree :)

More from our Hwy 1 drive… Hearst Castle, Elephant Seals & Phil’s Fish Market… YUM!!!

Our drive on day two was intense, but breathtaking.   We started the day at Hearst Castle which was beautiful, but not really the best idea with a one year old that wants to touch everything and walk everywhere.  Stoller’s were not allowed so Dave and I took turns listening to the tour with the big girls and the other would go walk with Channing outside.   We are glad though that we saw it.   We stopped a few miles up the road and saw elephant seals.    That was really neat to see.  Then the rest of the drive was right on the cliffs and just breathtaking.   We stopped in Moss Landing for dinner at Phil’s Fish Market.  Phil had a throwdown with Bobby Flay with his famous Cioppino.   We weren’t quite sure what we were eating, but it was delicious!

Lori - awesome! i remember visiting the Hearst castle when I was a little girl. Have fun!

haley b - looks like y'all are having lots of fun!!! great pics!!

Malibu and Pismo {Frisco Texas Photographer}

We are having SOOO much fun in California.   Its one of our favorite trips of the year.  We got up at 5am and now its 12:30am Dallas time… oh well.   We spent some time in Malibu today exploring the beaches and we ate at Paradise Cove.   Hopefully the girls will adjust well to the time change.  Tonight is Pismo Beach, half way between San Francisco and LA.  We are pleasantly surprised by the hotel.   We are staying right on the beach and have beautiful views!!!  I gotta get this post up and get to bed!!!

haley b - oh my goodness - precious. and it looks beautiful!

Lori - what fun! i hope ya'll have a great week :)

Patricia - What happy, precious little girls!!!! What fun.

Southern Bliss Boutique… {Frisco TX Children’s Photographer}

This one is one of my favorites from Southern Bliss Boutique.   Lexi Ann wore her dress for her birthday party this past week.  I love how the applique really personalized it for her.  Karen put together all three of the outfits for my girls and I love how the fabrics go together so great, but the dresses are not completely matching.

haley b - so cute!

Lori - adorable! love these :)

erin carlyle - Precious!!!

Patricia - I LOVE these!!!
