{can a little boy.....}

{back-tracking}

I'm going to attempt to catch my blog up!

I think I will try reverse order.  ;) 

{L.O.V.E}

Tonight was so special!  

First, I got to spend the evening with some sweet friends.  

And, while having so much fun with them.....got some amazing shots.  

This is their "engagement" pictures.......well, sixteen years later. :)

They will be renewing their vows next month and we wanted to take 

some of just the two of them to celebrate that.  It was so fun to watch

them together and a testament that the spark can still be there....years later.     

Since I typically shoot on the end of the spectrum when it is all beginning,

it was so refreshing to capture this as the years have passed. 

{a really good thing}

The immense rain that wrecked total havoc on my schedule in the

month of April, well, it did one really good thing........

it refilled our pond! 

So....I finally got to use the boat I found last year. 

More to come from this session! 

And, I am determined to keep up with this blog........

See you soon!

{happy mother's day!}

I hope everyone had a very special day today!  It is one of my most

favorite days of the year........although around here, pretty much every day

is Mother's Day.  VERY thankful for two of my greatest blessings!!  

{a royal affair}

I can't help myself.

I watched his parents as a little girl 30 years ago.

There is no way I can miss the big event.

I have a feeling I won't mind that alarm going off at 4 am.

Hoping tomorrow is the beginning of a very happily ever after! 

{almost blown away}

I told this precious couple that prior to shooting their Dallas wedding, I would be increasing

my life insurance policy.   This was Round 2 for engagements.  Our initial session got stormed out about 30+ minutes into it and when they came home for Christmas, I was sick. 

And, yesterday, although I made the call to move it up earlier because of the chance of rain {we were only in a mild risk for severe weather}....a huge rotating funnel snuck up on us in a big way.   Total traffic gridlock.  As cars upon cars were trying to make it to the interstate to go south away from the wall cloud...it truly felt like a movie.  One no one cared to attend.     Thankfully all in our area were safe.  And, praying for those that were hit today by that same storm system and those still in line for it.

Needless to say, I'm thinking Michael and Casey will always have a story to tell about their

session{s}.  Now we need it to dry up in a big way for bridals that are set for Friday.   And, of course

the big day in August!!  

Love you guys!
