…and summer is almost over! Back to school is around the corner and for some of you this is your last year!! Well…

Sometimes you meet up with a couple that you instantly click with. Well, that was Emily and Josh! I had so much fun with these two and felt like we were old friends. You can instantly tell how much Josh is in love with Emily. It was their 1 year anniversary and they brought the top of their wedding cake that had been frozen. We decided to do some fun cake-in-the-face shots since on their wedding day they opted for the sweeter version. ha-ha! It was so much fun to do something different. Leave me a comment…it’ll make my day!!

Most of you know, but lately it has been raining a ton here in Lubbock. Well…that makes for some pretty awesome cloudscapes! I love when the sun is shining, the sky is blue and there are clouds everywhere. So beautiful. I took these shots on the way home from one of my sessions the other night. I pulled over on the side of the road and everyone that drove past was looking in the direction I was shooting wondering what the big deal was. Dusk has got to be the best part of the day. Everything starts to wind down and it makes you sit still for a minute. We get so caught up in the craziness of life during the day and forget to just enjoy ourselves. Dusk is my reminder that there is more to life than a to-do list.

I cannot say enough good things about this couple! Keely and Blaze were so much fun to work with, and I felt like a part of the family all day at their wedding. I cannot wait to see there babies, because they are going to be beautiful!!!! Let me know what you think of the slide show and leave a comment.

Introducing…Dallan Brax! I have had the joy of getting to photograph Taber, Dallan’s mom, several time and I LOVE her! We always have so much fun together and now I got to play with her new little boy. According to Mom, Dallan is going to be a pro golfer…according to Grammy, he is going to be a pro roper…and according to Grandpa, he is going to be a farmer! Good luck Dallan…haha…looks like you’ve got you work cut out for you!

Well, I sure had a heck of a week last week. My little nieces came over last Tuesday night for a campout. We had a camp fire, made smores (that they refused to eat…ha-ha) and slept in the tent in the backyard all night. Well…at about 6am on Wednesday I was awake and felt a little sprinkle. In about 3 seconds it started pouring rain on us in our tent. John jumped up to try and get the rain cover on the tent while covered the girl with our sheet. Needless to say, the rain cover didn’t block that much rain and we had to run inside. So much for our campout! Oh well, the girls still had fun and it will make for a good story for a while. But, as we were running inside there was a huge lighting strike and crash right by our house, or possibly on our house, and is fried my computer, my server, our entire internet connection, the garage door openers, our telephones, my router, printer and maybe a few other things we haven’t discovered yet! But, everyone is fine and almost everything is repaired now. It was definitely a weird Wednesday. So…all that to say…sorry to all of my clients for the delay in galleries and email returns. But, I am back up and running now so I will be working extra hard for the next few days to get all caught up. Now here is Krystal and Matt…they are getting married next January in Mexico!! Hope you enjoy your belated sneak peek guys!!

Here is Sam and Misty! They got married last weekend in Slaton and then we all headed to the windmill museum for their awesome reception. I had so much fun hanging out with them all day. They had the Rex Thomas band play their reception and they are so much fun. Hope Costa Rica was fun guys, now sit back and enjoy the show!

So I got a new backdrop a few weeks back, and needed to do a little experimenting. Okay, I know a plain ole white backdrop doesn’t sound that exciting but I have been having a blast with it. I have been able to try loads of new lighting set-ups. But, when I first unwrapped this little jewel I was itching for some test subjects. So…introducing…my BBQ sandwich, my niece, and my incredibly hott husband John. ha-ha! I love how clean it is and really forces you to focus on the subject. PS…that sandwich is incredible…B-Man’s BBQ at Milwaukee & FM2641…you must go get some! There was enough meat in that baby for me to make 3 sandwiches…

I was down in Huntsville this past weekend and got to photograph Desri and Jason. I was so much fun to get to meet and hang out with these two before their wedding in July. I cannot wait for their wedding either…completely vintage!! It was also a blast to get to photograph in a totally new setting. Huntsville is beautiful and so much fun…even though my feet were covered in chiggers after walking out in the woods! haha! But, I got some awesome shots so no big deal, right? P.S….check out the Jones soda. That’ll be their last name…love it!

You gotta go check out Desri’s website! She is an awesome Graphic Designer, and does beautiful wedding invitations!!
