Sherri, Matt, + Ishan | NYC

Six months old is one of my favorite ages to photograph. So much laughter and giggling from making funny sounds and funny faces.

Its quite hilarious actually to meet a pair of adults for the first time and fast forward 20 minutes where we're all on the floor making complete goofs of ourselves together.
Of course, its all worth it!

Just check out the little guy and tell me you dont agree!

Hope you're having a great weekend.

Anna + Dan | Newlyweds, Dallas

Comin at ya from Big D, Little A, Double L, A-S!
Dallas!
My hometown. My hometeam.

Anna + Dan tied the knot back in April, but wanted another chance to don their wedding attire and take some downtown pictures of the 2 of them. (Downtown has some amazing new architecture going up. The Wyly Center , designed by a team of people including Rem Koolhaus is my favorite!)

Then we took a trip to Deep Ellum which was absolutely our stomping grounds during high school and college holidays. Its now pretty desolate but with amazingly painted buildings and parking lots, its kind of a photographer's dream.

So much fun to paint Dallas with some Newlywed love! Seems like Anna and Dan havent stopped smiling since they said I do.
Wishing you guys all the best!

Hook Em Horns-This is Texas

Although I grew up almost completely and entirely in Texas, I'm a little green on lots of things Texas. I know my share of country music, but that's only because they play A LOT of the same country music i listened to x years ago! Its always nice to come home and turn to a station though and be able to reach in the (not so) back of my mind and belt out 'That Aint my Truck in Her Drive' like no time has passed at all.

But enter some REAL texas kids, and I have to step back. Liz has been one of my besties since high school. We lived together in Colorado where she met and later married Josh. Now they're pretty much the mayors of Austin, and twins Conrad and Smith have been raised in a burnt orange world.

When this LONGHORN roamed up to the photo shoot, my instinct was to back up like i'd just turned down a NY street that has a garbage truck on it. But not the kids. It was as if they'd seen sweet and harmless Big Bird!

It was a gorgeous day on many levels. So fun to see the kids growing up and to be able to photograph with those that are so close to me.

Stay warm!

VIP photoshoot...Tennessee Takes NYC

What absolute privilege (why is it always SO hard to figure out how to spell that freakin word?!) it was to hear from Heather!
Many moons ago, Heather was my lighting teacher at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography and her (not yet at the time) husband Dan was there as well teaching us how to mat and frame our work.

We were all living in Brooklyn at the time and came back to form a solid 'Artists Group' for a few years before Heather and Dan moved down to T-T-T-Tennessee to literally take the world by storm. Heather is THE photographer to reckon with down there (see, i'm using the lingo)...check her out. http://www.beallandthomas.com/

So i felt super lucky to be able to photograph them with their newest addition. And OMG, she's such a dream! She is definitely no stranger to the camera. And it shows..she had such a calming nature to her, so happy, so relaxed, and so much fun! I wanted her to stay and hang out all day.

Thanks for the visit guys!
I'm so excited for you.

Amanda + John | E-Session in Brooklyn

Love Em and Leave Em...Fall Leaves and Brooklyn Love that is!

Amanda and John are so insanely cute together its nutty.

And Amanda's New York experience has been quite unique I'd say. She moved to NY from California, found an apartment within a few weeks, found an awesome job a few weeks after that, and then at the company holiday party, met her soon to be husband John a few weeks after that! You go girl. And now 4 years later, they are making it official showing everyone at work that all that watercooler talk was the real deal! Ha!

A couple weeks ago we had a ridiculously gorgeous day in Prospect Park. The park is super important to Amanda and John..they spend every morning there with their dog in the wee hours (haha) when dogs can run leash free. So it was super fun to photograph them there...and i went to parts of the park i'd never been to myself. Geez, I've been in NY for almost 12 years and i feel like i've only tapped the surface.

We'll be photographing Amanda and John's big day next fall when they tie the knot.
Stay tuned!

(and stay dry. its an inside out umbrella kind of day here today! ay!)
