The Burgin's Woodland Family Portrait Session

Thank you to the Burgin Family for a fun woodland themed shoot. I loved your tent, and I loved your sweet little faces!I love the images they selected, but I don't know how they did it.

The Reid Families 30x40 Photograph

So the Reid family picked up their fabulously HUGE 30x40 photograph today.  They purchased one about four years ago and were in need of an update, because the kids had grown so much.Annie (momma Reid)  has a place in the living room specifically for this photograph.  She was headed to the framers after she left, and I can't wait to see it all put together! Remember the adorable Reid family from the Fall Family Fair Shoot? (coloring is a little goofy in the image of the photograph...coloring is more true to the images seen in the full blog post of the Reid family)

The Utigard's Clovis, New Mexico Urban Family Session

Thanks to the Utigard family for a fun session and hiring me as your photographer. Candice (the momma) is also a photographer here in Clovis. The idea of photographing for another photographer is always a little nerve racking, but her family was super cool and welcoming.Candice and her older daughter came in for the Ordering and Viewing session and ordered one of my favorites in a 20x30, as well as several 8x12s to display around the house. I've already ordered it and I can't wait for it to come in. Take a look at some of the images she purchased for her home below...

Texas Country Chic Wedding.Jordan and Sunny

Jordan and Sunny's wedding was a dream for me. They are one of the most genuine couples and I loved working with them and meeting their families.Their Texas Country Chic wedding took place in Rotan, TX. This is where they met back in junior high. They took different roads through out high school and college, but love kept them close enough to reconnect. Jordan currently plays for the Cincinnati Bengal's NFL football team, and played college footbal for Univeristy of Texas in Austin.  AND Sunny is a super talented country song writer.  Ever heard of  "Oh Tonight"?  Ya well, she is responsible for that.   These two are both so talented, but the thing that makes me like them the most is how humble they both are. God has great things planned for these two.

Clovis Portrait Photographer.Daale Family

The Daale family are some of the nicest people. Really, they really are. We photographed their family session in their beautiful backyard and the color palette they chose was perfect with the green grass as well as complimentary with their skin tones. The oldest daughter and her husband were literally here for a day so a family shoot was in order-pronto! I'm so glad they used me. I am always blessed by their sweet hearts. Oh, and I can't wait to see how the wall collection turns out that she ordered for their home!

Tech Terrace Engagement Shoot.Lindsey and Kelby

Lindsey and Kelby were so awesome at  their engagement photo shoot in Lubbock.  We did their session at a friends house as well as the Tech Terrace area by Texas Tech University. Their wedding is in San Angelo June 2012 and I can't wait to photograph it!

I had a challenge during their shoot, and I welcomed it with open arms.  The clouds were rolling in the sun was disappearing so I had to bring out my lights and pocket wizards.  Bring on the challenge I say, bring it!

Thanks Lindsey and Kelby for a wonderful engagement photo shoot.

TymberLee is graduating this year. She contacted me back in May or June to schedule her 2012 Senior Session, and I was so excited THEN to do a shoot with her because she has been waiting since she was a sophomore to have her senior pictures taken by me.

Not only did her personality make this session so fun, her outfits were perfect and totally her. Add all of that with her great smile and we have a winner folks.I loved your session TymberLee. You are one of a kind and super fun. Thanks for being so awesome and making me look like I'm totally awesome with your photogenic-ness :)
