Renewed Love

Easter weekend was celebrated with lots of love, including Bob and Deb Lowrey's wedding on Saturday. Their wedding took place in the Sunken Garden at Hillcrest Park in Clovis, NM and it was one of the sweetest most meaningful weddings I've witnessed yet. I had to hold back my tears as I snapped away to capture all the sweet emotion that took place that day.Here is Bob and Deb before the wedding. I love how he looks at her and her response to him.

Texas and New Mexico Photographer

I had a very fun filled newborn session last Saturday in Amarillo, Tx. And yesterday I photographed the beautiful Jenna from Portales, NM.I am running a bit behind on my blog post people, but don't worry I will catch up. I hope these two lovely faces below will make you smile today.

Clients who make me happy

I have been blessed with great clients over the past 3 1/2 years I've been in business. My clients honestly have become friends of mine too. I have been thinking today about them (you) and they (you) put a smile on my face.A few things they have done that make me smile: Thank you letters in the mail: One girl sent me a thank you note that she had made. She loves to do scrap book stuff and and made me a beautiful card. I so appreciated her creativeness. Last year some sweet clients gave me a basket full of my favorite things, and I was totally blown away. It made me tear up. I was so thankful for them. Sweet letters from wedding clients Recently a client told me how excited her husband was AFTER the session. Yes, after! I love hearing that. He had so much fun with his family taking pictures that he looks forward to doing it again. I am NOT making this up either. Cross my heart. Another fun thing I love about my clients is I get to go to Zumba with them :) SO FUN! I love learning from my clients too. When I'm photographing them, I'm looking further into who they are as they connect with each other. When I see a deep connection, it makes me want to know them more and be apart of their family.

I might be rambling a little, but I was just thinking of you today and I wanted to say thanks for being wonderful clients and further more for your friendship. Have a blessed day my friends.

Here are some from the playlist people suggested: Another One Bites the Dust-Queen Rapper's Delight-Sugarhill Gang Barracuda-Fergie Tik Tok-Ke$ha Down-Jay Sean According to You-Orianthi

Thank you so so much friends for your suggestions. First senior is Laura-beautiful girl and sweet family Second senior is Stephany-she is the senior who won the senior giveaway back in the fall. Another beautiful girl with a great dad and supporting boyfriend :)

Yesterday I had an awesome family session. They brought hula-hoops and wiggled their hips. It was way fun! Mike (husband/dad) even said he had fun and never wants to go back to a studio with someone posing them again. I think I succeeded when you hear that comment coming from the dad :) Thanks Morris family. More later...
