Bekah’s bridal portraits

Remember Bekah from her engagement portrait session with Tad a few weeks ago? Bekah and I met on Friday evening for her bridal portraits. She brought one of her bridesmaids along for assistance and we got to snapping! I am looking forward to Bekah’s wedding at Claydesta in August. She and Tad are an amazing couple and I am incredibly excited for them.

One of the things that I most enjoy about working with brides and photographing weddings is the blessing of sharing in the excitement and joy of a couple as they start out in life together. At our shoot, Bekah was telling me about the apartment that she and Tad found to live in after their wedding. They are excited to move in and get everything set up and in place. They should have plenty of stuff to fill it with too–Bekah has been quite busy with bridal showers!

Photojournalism

What an interesting week.

Yesterday Kathleen Thurber from the Midland Reporter-Telegram stopped by to ask me a few questions about my background and my photography business.  Her story should be featured in the online edition of the MRT next week–I will provide the link when it is available.

Today the co-publisher of a magazine contacted me.  She enjoys my work and knows that I hold a B.A. in journalism (news-editiorial) from Baylor University and an M.Ed from Concordia University.  I was asked to submit a photo essay featuring West Texas.  It will be fun to put my degree to use!

Which are your children?

Since I have so many photographs of children on my website, people often ask “which ones are your kids?” I really need to make an effort to share more pictures of my own family here on my little ‘ol blog. (And maybe one of these days I will even get around to posting my own profile pic/mugshot on here).

Hannah is three years old and is crazy about Elmo. She went to Nemo on Ice, reads her Nemo books daily, loves to watch the DVD, and has several stuffed animals, coloring books, shirts, etc. that feature the little orange guy. These pictures were taken last night after bath time when we were getting tucked in for bed.

Sam is 18 months. He enjoys exploring, getting into cabinets, laughing at his big sister’s antics and eating. These snapshots were taken this morning at breakfast time.

Newborn baby & a proud big brother

One of the perks of my job is having the opportunity to work with newborn babies during their first weeks of life. I absolutely love crinkly newborn skin! On Thursday I worked with a wonderful Midland family to capture some photographs of their baby girl and her proud big brother.

Jaxon has the cutest laugh! We played games and caught some fun expressions.
