I added a link in the navigation bar at the top titled The Race. You can click on it to see my progress in my Nike+ online race. It is against some other awesome photographers…..some that are obviously in better shape than I am. It lasts 30 days. The one to run the most miles in 30 days wins $10 in iTunes from EACH participant and bragging rights (which we all know is the best prize). This is quite the challenge for me so I could use a cheering section. Leave me some encouragement in the comments. Now I’m a little behind so I’m off to add to the 3.92 miles I did yesterday. But first, where’s the tylenol?

It starts tomorrow. I have thought about this for a long time and I am ready. I am ready to change. I am ready to be healthy again. I am ready for a little competition. Bring it on! I may not win, but I WON’T come in last!

I have been trying all day to get caught up from our trip out of town and haven’t gotten around to working on my pictures from the weekend.  I know my mom is dying to see at least ONE of them so this will just have to tide you over until I can get around to finishing them all.

So here is Mia looking at the fish at SeaWorld.  She really loved watching them swim.  By the way the only light available was the light that is actually IN the aquarium so taking great pictures was not that easy, but some are better than none!  I do really love this one so I guess it’s not so bad!

We just got home from a fun, but quick trip to San Antonio. We had a great time, but I am wiped out! More on that to come soon. Pictures to follow….of course

Just wanted to post a quick reminder about the Holiday Mini-Sessions that I have coming up. I still have some openings. It’s really a great deal and you even get a cute little mini coffee table book plus plenty of other stuff. Even if you aren’t interested be sure to tell your friends!

And for my first post on my new blog……lots of big beautiful engagement images of a really fun couple.

These two were troopers that was for sure. We did three locations and it was HOT out. They were up for anything and were very patient with me while I tried some new stuff and I hope they feel rewarded by all their hard work when they see these images. I can’t wait for their wedding in December. It also happens to be on the same day as my daughter’s third birthday. I know that I will ALWAYS remember their anniversary.

This is one of my favorites. I wish I had a picture of me taking this shot. I climbed up on the top of the play-set to get this. I must have been quite a sight!

Some parking garage shots. Here is where I got to play a little. Aren’t they a great couple!

And finally……an image I have seen done a few times, but I just HAD to try it for myself and it was a lot of fun to create!!

I know…I’ve been an awful blogger recently. Hopefully what I have to share will make it worth the wait though

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to second shoot a wedding for the first time. I think I LOVE IT! It was so much fun. Josh Littrell of Littrell Photography was gracious enough to give me the chance to tag along with him. He was extremely helpful and generous (letting me borrow several of his lenses) and I really appreciate the opportunity. Check out his blog and website when you get the chance!

So here are just a few that I’ve finally had the chance to play around with. There are SO many more, but I have tons of portrait client stuff to work on also so the wedding pictures will have to wait a little longer.

First a few getting ready pictures:

The bride had her makeup done by the talented Felisha Mims of Transitions of Beauty.

The beautiful dress:

This is one of my favorites! The brides son walked her down the aisle. He was the cutest thing! The wedding was at the beautiful First Christian Church in Plano. The stained glass windows are GORGEOUS!!!

A few fun portraits in old downtown Plano.

Then on to the reception

The first dance. The brides son was so sweet watching from the sidelines.

There are many more, but these are a few of my favorites so far. Now to get back to work
