Some of my favorite repeat clients met with me at the Dallas Arboretum last Sunday. Apparently ALL of DFW also got the invitation, because is was CROWD-ED! With a little patience and a sense of humor we ended up having a really great time. It was a such a beautiful day and the light at the end of the day was absolutely amazing.
Here are my favorites from our afternoon at the Arboretum.
As I get older I have realized that there will always be that handful of friends who drift into and out of my life, but they are always there. Those friends that I can call up after it’s been a few years and it’s like we never skipped a beat. It’s like the last conversation we had just picks up where it left off. There is never an uncomforable “getting to know you again” time period. We are always just comfortable and ourselves. Holly is one of those friends.
Holly and I met 10 years ago. Where did the time go? We were both teaching at the same school. Both stuck back in the furthest, darkest, most remote area of the building where they hide the (cue the scary music) ELECTIVES! One thing developed back in that corner of the building and it was a small group of close knit friends. I’m not talking about the students….I’m talking about the art/language department clique. Those wonderful people helped me survive a job that I WANTED to love, but desperately hated. Holly was one of those special people.
Holly is one of the most vibrant, positive and just plain FUN people that I have ever been around. I am absolutely honored that she and Patrick chose me to be their wedding photographer and I couldn’t be MORE happy to see how in love they are. I’ve only just met Patrick so I don’t have as many nice things to say about him yet, but if he can make my friend smile the way that she does then I know he is wonderful!
Congratulations to you both! Can’t wait until December 12th! I still can’t believe how lucky I am to get to photograph your important day. Thanks!
Holly and Patrick had their first date at this particular Starbucks and it was a great location to start their session.
Then we headed out to The Harbor in Rockwall. It was a beautiful location and absolutely felt like we had left the Dallas area. Nantucket anyone??
The next one is my FAVORITE!!!
cindy holt: Cindy you are so talented! I absolutely love looking at your photography!!
Angela and Mark McBride: A wonderful couple. So glad Holly will be part of our family!
Garnell Riddle: cute couple great pix
Esmeralda: Beautiful Images, I love your work :)
Jack: I am Erik's (Poser) Dad. I am very impressed with your work.
This family was an absolute BLAST! They know how to have a good time together as you can see in this picture below!
Superstar!!!!!
I don’t even have the words to express how much I LOVE this couple! I love when we become friends with our clients. Molly and Taylor are so much fun and they know how to throw a party!
These are vendors that helped make their day fabulous!
I love the next two! The one on the left is Saylor’s view and the one on the right is mine. TOTALLY worth it to have two photographers. Especially when you get the guy’s point of view and the woman’s point of view. And that’s just MY point of view. 
Hope I didn’t go overboard with the pictures. I just COULDN’T narrow it down anymore! I have been looking forward to this wedding for what seems like forever! Molly and Taylor are a blast. They are still in the #1 spot for most fun engagement session EVER. ;) They are going to be hard to beat! I feel like all we did was laugh. Which, is one of my favorites things to do! I can’t wait until we get together again.
Here we are at the end of the night. Molly and Taylor, Saylor and I both want to wish you all the happiness in the world. Congratulations!
Last Saturday at the Dallas Arboretum was a bit drizzly, but you wouldn’t know it, because Alison and Tim were glowing. ;) Too cheesy? Because they really were! Check out how incredibly BEAUTIFUL their small, intimate wedding at the Arboretum was:
This was such a fun session. Just hanging out with the girls! A special session to celebrate 3 big birthdays, someone is turning 5 and you’ll just have to guess the number for the other two lovely ladies. 
On Thurs. evening I had the honor of capturing the last moments of a young man before he officially left the nest. Kevin was headed to begin his college career the next morning and I was truly honored to document the moment for his sweet mom. I wish him the best at OC! With a personality like the awesome one he has that boy, (I mean young man) is going to do great! Some of you may know that I used to teach high school and believe it or not not EVERY teenager is pleasant to be around, but Kevin certainly is! The moment wouldn’t have been complete without some photos of Sam, Kevin’s younger brother, he was a trooper and quite the model too! It was a joy to capture these two guys laughing and smiling and enjoying each others company. I can’t help but smile as I look at these photos. I hope that these photos will always bring a smile to Kevin and Sam’s parents faces too!
And the best of the best, most FABULOUS wedding vendors in DFW will be there too. Including Cindy Mills Photography!
We will be at Robbins Brothers this Sunday from 2pm-5pm for a bridal show. Drop by and say “Hi!” There will be unbelievable flower arrangements, amazing cakes and a bridal gown fashion show. Not to mention drawings and giveaways. Who doesn’t love FREE stuff? If you can’t make it then check back next week for a blog post about all the fun you missed!
See ya there.
Dear Blog,
I have a confession to make. This may be hard to take, but I just can’t live with myself if I don’t tell you the truth. I have been cheating on you. With Twitter. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for it to happen. It just did. Twitter is so easy going and fast and always has time for me. Twitter makes it SO easy to share photos from my iPhone and always lets me know when my friends have something to say. I know those reasons are not a good excuse, and I hope you will forgive me for neglecting you. Maybe this video with make up for it.
Love, Cindy
Here is a little video I threw together (literally) last night. I videoed and snapped about 20 mins. of Mia playing in our backyard and in about 2 hours had this sweet little video that I have been planning on making for some time now. I keep watching it over and over and every time it chokes me up. I can’t watch it without thinking about how someday I will show this to her when she has her own 4 year old. I’m not sure what it is about the black and white, bubbles and that SONG, but I am just in awe today at how BEAUTIFUL my daughter is. It makes me forget that she broke my favorite vintage camera and threw up red kool-aid in the MIDDLE of my living room carpet. When I watch this video all I see is love and happiness! I hope you enjoy it too.
Shae Chaffin: Oh, Cindy. I LOVED the video! You are so wonderfully talented! And Mia is a doll! Thanks for sharing these sweet moments! Shae
Joanna S: That's so fun! How lucky she is to have such a wonderfully talented Mommy!!
Sam: BEAUTIFUL!!
Stephanie Phillips: Girl, that got me choked up!!! You are indeed very talented!!
Oops. Well, I am a day late, but I wanted to say HAPPY 1st ANNIVERSARY to Joanna and David!
Yesterday was actually their anniversary, but I missed it…..so sorry! Better late than never. ;) Hope your first year was a wonderful one! Here’s to many more!
