Cody+Summer Engaged

When Cody contacted me about shooting his proposal to Summer, paparazzi style, I was all about it!! He had plans to exit the Symphony at 9:30 with us following behind... which was a great idea, until we lost them!! A quick phone call and sprint to our destination, and this is what we saw...

After a few moments for Summer to absorb the shock, 

Cody let her in on his little secret... and we took a few portraits. 

No flash, just some sweet old school grain!

FAVORITE!!

Congratulations Cody & Summer!!

Joel + Leslie Married

Joel + Leslie were married on November 22nd at St. Ann's in Coppell. We were so excited for this wedding and were not disappointed! We had an awesome day with these two! It was nothing short of the fun we had with them at their engagement shoot in Ft. Worth last June. Introducing the new Mr. & Mrs. McDowell!!!

Leslie: Bridals

I am so excited to finally post these images. Of course we didn't want Joel to see Leslie or her gown before the big day, so this session was under lock and key until now! Joel and Leslie were married on November 22nd and a few weeks before the wedding I got to hang out with Leslie, her mom, aunt, and one of her best friends for a rad bridal shoot at St. Ann's in Coppell. Leslie looked stunning and was ready to rock out this session. We had great weather and captured a ton of amazing images! Leslie chose a number of the images below to put on display at the reception.

Gosh, didn't I tell you... stunning!!

Leslie's enlargement displayed at the reception.

A favorite

Love these gates!

Great doors and check out the detail on this veil...

one of Leslie's friends hand stitched the lace edge!

Another Favorite!!

This one makes me smile

our only problem... the wind + a veil that wanted to fly away.

Leslie, you are gorgeous. Thanks for workin it out!!

My parents are so cute!

Last week my parents came down for Thanksgiving and picked up Alicia and Alfred on the way. We had such a blast being together cooking, laughing, playing wii... I love my family! My Mom's only request was that I take some pics of her and my Dad for their Christmas card. I promised that I wouldn't blog her choice photo until the cards were sent out, but here are some great shots of the two of them!

I want to look this good when I'm . . . older . . . haha!

Those dang son-in-laws are OUT OF CONTROL, seriously!

Yes, they do kiss... ALL the time!

nice

I love you two so much! Thanks for coming to visit!!!
