This session helped bring back the creativity I thought I had lost. It was so refreshing working with Carrie and Barrett again (past bride and groom who are going on 3 years this September). I enjoyed working with them on their wedding day, and I had just as, if not more fun for their couples/just because session.Thank you Carrie and Barrett.
Lexie is a class of 2013 Cristy Cross Photography representative. I think its great that she planned each one of her outfits to go specifically with each location she had picked out. I love the rocker theme outfit paired with her red jeep at the dunes. She told me she loved that she was able to choose three different outfits, because they all showed her personality-classic beauty, country girl, and rocker chick. If you missed her classic beauty check it out here, and stay tuned for the country girl.
Last weekend Barbara and Ross got married at the lovely Four Seasons Resort Rancho Encantado Santa Fe. It was gorgeous!!A fun little fact about these two is they new each other way back in the day...junior high. He stole a kiss from her, and little did they both know, they would end up as husband and wife.
Lexie, a 2013 high school senior representative for Cristy Cross Photography, is looking very lovely in her high school senior photographs. She invited me out to her home for her session and I LOVE how they are turning out. Yowzers! I have been photographing Lexie for 4 years now. First in her brothers wedding, then a photo shoot with her and her sister, she was my Alice in Alice in Wonderland photo shoot, and now. I can't believe she was 14 years old when we started, because back then she looked 18. Now that she is 18, she looks 22. She is one amazing girl, and I will miss her when she goes off to college. Stay tuned for more from Lexie's session.

Hello gorgeous couple! A preview of more to come from Barbara and Ross's wedding at Encantado Resort in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Baby Aaron turns one this weekend. Thanks Valdez family for letting me be apart of your sweet family. And thanks to baby Aaron for giving me a workout. I'm not kidding when I say this kid is FAST. He walks/runs all over the place, and I'm telling you I was tired when I got home.I just ooo-ed and aaahhh-ed over your pictures as I downloaded them Thursday night. I can't wait for you to see the rest at your viewing and ordering session.
I have a wedding this weekend in Santa Fe, and the bride and groom will have their first look before the ceremony. A first look is where the bride and groom see each other for the first time before the ceremony with their wedding attire on and ready to go. The groom sees his soon-to-be wife, and he tears up. The bride stands their feeling so pretty for her soon-to-be husband and her heart is pounding out of her chest, because he is so handsome. It's just them. No audience. And they fall in love all over again. Lindsey and Kelby (below) did a first look for their wedding back in June. When this couple met, he used to always wear a bandana. Lindsey thought it only appropriate for Kelby to be blindfolded with a bandana for their first look. And it was so cute, and personal.
I can't wait for my Santa Fe bride and groom, Barbara and Ross's wedding the weekend. Pictures coming soon.
Carrie and Barrett invited me to make a journey to Odessa, Texas for their Couples Session. On my way, I passed down memory lane as I drove through Tahoka, Texas where I grew up from a baby to 8 years old, and then made frequent visits to see my grandparents. Then I passed by this super awesome sunflower field that was a sea of yellow. So gorgeous! And when I arrived to Carrie and Barrett's they were getting all of their belongings and props ready to go for our sand dune photo shoot. And then after the shoot (I have to brag a little) they bought us dinner from Texas Roadhouse where Carrie use to work. So when I asked her what to get she quoted almost the entire menu. I chose the ribs, with green beans, and sauteed mushrooms. Is your mouth watering yet? Mine is. I also slept in the most comfortable bed, and woke up to yummy cinnamon rolls and fruit. I felt so welcomed :) Thanks Carrie and Barrett!! I just have a few for now that I want to share, but believe me, you will want to come back and see the rest. This couple doesn't take a bad picture, and we have LOTS of awesome shots of these two.

First Look...hours before the ceremony.
Here is one from tonight's rainy session. Obviously it didn't stop us. Thanks Kaylee for your carefree spirit and helping me conquer my fears climbing up those scary stairs. I am SO glad we did, because we captured this gorgeous photograph of you. You look radiant, even on a gloomy day. Class of 2013, I'd love to work with you this summer for your senior session.

I'm currently working on print orders for this lovely couple and I had to share with you one from Karly and Eric's first dance. It is so moving, so gentle, so sweet.
William, Liam, Lele, Wewe (the way Benson says it), love bug, sweet baby, Leaping Liam...these are just a few of his names he has gained in the last 5 months.He can sit up by himself for a few seconds, and then falls over, then spits up a little, because his tummy gets squished. He has been rolling over with little assistance and today my friends he did it ALL BY HIMSELF!!!! We were screaming with excitement. Squealing and gurggling are the ways he "talks" with us, and he carries a continuous smile. Liam loves to grab Benson's hair. It's sort of a game they play together. Cuddling, jumping in his bouncy, and crossing his legs while laying down are the many activities he does on a daily basis. He is LOVED like crazy by his brother, mommy and daddy. We just can't get enough of his sweet little face!
Happy Friday! Sharing with you this beautiful girl, and her yellow VW van. We added her beach tote bag with a pop of turquoise to spice up the photo shoot!
