theresa&travis__01

Hearing Theresa tell hers and Travis’ story, it all came about pretty simply.

One day waiting outside of a class at UNT she heard this guy playing guitar. She loves music and plays guitar herself, so she sat down beside him to listen. Before she knows it they’ve struck up a conversation and before parting ways Travis asks for her number, ya know, just in case they should ever want to play music together . . . On campus that same day a group was handing out plastic purple and white bracelets to students and randomly enough both Theresa and Travis separately ended up with one. And both of them kept those bracelets because it had been a noteworthy day.

It turns out they still wear those bracelets to this very day (and are in fact wearing them in these engagement photos) because after that day they were Theresa-and-Travis.

Theresa and Travis, I wish you both the happiest of engagements as you make your way toward your destination wedding later this year!

Dude. I couldn’t be happier with this afternoon’s engagement session. So much goodness.

nov1

November is a great month because it holds all the anticipation of fall, Thanksgiving, pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks and pre-Christmas excitement but without days holding so many to-do’s that you can’t even enjoy any of it. Yes, I enjoy November for these reasons AND because this month held so many sessions with so many wonderful clients.

For starters, I got to photograph an anniversary session for Laura and Laramy, whose engagements I photographed back in 2010 I think?? A long time ago, for sure. I thought it was so sweet that they wanted their anniversary photos taken at their wedding venue – Lost Oak Winery in Burleson.

November was the month I got to introduce my dear blogging assistant, Danielle! All of this blogging catch-up would not be possible without her. Plus, isn’t she just really adorable too?!

The Luttmer family had me come out to their family land to take some extended family portraits. We all braved the wind to get some sweet shots!

It will always be an honor to be asked to photograph another photographer and Julie’s college graduation portraits were no exception. I was especially honored because she drove all the way from Lubbock for the session! Congratulations on graduation, Julie!

 I’m thankful for all that November held and now I’m ready to get to blogging December! SO CLOSE to being 100% caught back up!

Morgan describes herself as more of a city girl.

Chance describes himself as a full-fledged country boy.

Morgan wanted Chance to feel represented by their engagement session location — so we met up in the small town of Gustine, Texas the day after Thanksgiving for some photos in the country.

This next spot is pretty cool — my uncle tipped me off to this house for real built in 1900 out on some property owned by some family of ours. I went out before the shoot to scout and showed Morgan and  Chance the place and they were all for shooting here. Huzzah!

 And this was what happened. A holli powder fight between a country boy and his city girl.

I’m so pumped for y’all’s June wedding!
