carmen + charlie | midland engagement photographer

Last Friday, Aric & I took a day trip up to Midland to meet with Carmen & Charlie-and then have a nice date afterward! ;)
These two-were FUN! They had awesome ideas, props, and even...COSTUMES?!?! seriously. it was a good time.
They are our kind of couple- they've traveled all over the world, lived in 3rd world countries, and have aspirations of doing it again. So awesome!
Anyway- here are some favorites from their session... we kind of had a Texas, "western" theme for a while... :)

anna + michael | lubbock engagement photographer

anna and michael were so fun to get to know during their session! these two flew all the way to Lubbock, TX just for the day for their session-so we got to give them the grand tour of the cotton fields, Texas Tech, and the fun brick roads in downtown. ;)
and Lubbock is just one more place to add to the list of places they have traveled-Anna is actually from Russia!! So cool!
Anyway-enjoy a few of our favorites from their session!!

Anna, you're gorgeous.

erin + tanner | engagement

It's funny how things sometimes just work out...
We had planned Erin & Tanner's engagement session for the weekend that we were supposed to be going to the balloon fiesta-so we got everything rescheduled and it couldn't have worked out better for the both of us!
Aric & I got to go to the balloon fiesta in Albuquerque, see his family, and learn to play spades with his grandparents. And instead of a drizzly, cold day for their engagement session- Erin & Tanner got a beautiful fall day.
It's funny how things just work out...
:)
Enjoy some from their engagement session!

so much fun!
Enjoy this one-there's plenty more where that came from-just as soon as we get this to do list under control!

oh yeah, and this cool macro shot of a dandelion-just for the heck of it. :)


happy weekend everyone!

neil + tristen | engagement

so I took a little break from the madness of work today to edit and blog neil & tristen's engagement pictures!
we made a last minute, spur of the moment trip to ft. worth this weekend to see my family and take pictures for neil & tristen! (my family loves it when I do that)
on saturday, Aric, my dad, and brother-in-law Jacob all went to a car show and drooled over all the cars and had some good ol' "guy time"- while me, my mom, my sister, my aunt Davney and the two cutest little girls on the planet (my cousins) went shopping and had some fun "girl time" :).
It was great, then we took Sunday to hang out with Neil & Tristen, shoot some pictures, and explore downtown Ft. Worth on a cloudy, misty, day. So overall, the weekend was perfect. :)
Neil & Tristen are old friends' of Aric's and they are the sweetest couple you will ever meet. We are so excited for them and their upcoming marriage!!
Someone told me that Tristen loves black and white pictures, so there are quite a few more black and white's in this post than I would normally edit-but it was fun!
hope you enjoy!
:)

i don't know why, but i loved tristen's expression so much that i blogged basically the same picture twice- this one was from Aric's view...

and this was from my view...i love it

tristen is gonna make one BEAUTIFUL bride, don't you think?!

love this one...














i LOVED shooting in the city! so much fun!



and on a side note-these are those two most adorable little girls in the world! :)
My Aunt Davney is the most creative person I know, besides Aric, and she makes the cutest custom outfits, bows, jewelry, bags-you name it, she can make it. Anywho-she made these super cute Halloween shirts for my little cousins and I couldn't help but share-I think everyone should have one! :)
