Picture Perfection!

2012-01-26T16:38:00.006-06:00

I love when everything falls perfectly into place. The weather, the smiles, the fun. This shoot was nothing short of perfection. We found a new park to go to with plenty of secret pathways for the boys to venture off, and lots of beautiful, golden trees that truly represented a southern fall. What more could anyone ask for?

Enjoy!

Pink Flowers & Silver Sequins

2012-01-25T13:04:00.008-06:00

Photographing newborns is something I absolutely adore. It's a different type of rodeo. With 3 year olds, it's all about running around capturing their smiles and laughter. But with newborns, it's all about a sense of peace and warmth. You are on their schedule. Nothing else matters. And I love that.

Cameron exuded just that- peace and warmth. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about what a perfect baby she is. We glammed her up with a pink flower head band and a silver sequin backdrop, setting quite a high, glam standard for her future photo shoots.

Congratulations on beautiful baby Cameron!

Holli's Baby Shower

2012-01-20T14:23:00.006-06:00

RMP is back! The past holiday season was the busiest ever. No complaints whatsoever, but something had to be sacrificed, and blogging took the hit. I must say, I have definitely missed it- I truly enjoy writing about each client's story and the time I get to spend with them.

So, without further ado, welcome 2012!

There are very few occasions in life when you are surrounded by your friends and family for no other reason than to celebrate- and Holli's baby shower was definitely one of those reasons! Baby Landyn's arrival date is quickly approaching, however, this baby is already loved by everyone, as evident from her shower. Laughter, smiles and love overflowed for Holli as she opened each present, read each card and took in every second of this fun-filled day.

Best wishes and lots of love!

Enjoy!

Picture in a Picture...

2011-11-23T21:39:00.004-06:00

Kayla and Tyler are the fabulous "Starbucks" couple I posted about a year ago. My, how the time how flown! Life is going way too fast. But, in effort to make sure their anniversary is celebrated to the max, we decided that each year we would photograph them holding a picture of them from their previous anniversary! Brilliant idea? YES!

Kayla and Tyler met while working at Hard Rock Cafe, so clearly we HAD to return to the "scene of the crime" for their first anniversary.

Happy Anniversary to an amazing couple! I wish you many more years of photos!

Enjoy!

Elopement at the Texas State Fair!

2011-10-10T13:21:00.007-05:00

I had the absolute honor of photographing my dear friend and fellow photographer, Sherese, and her new hubby, Sean, on the day of their elopement. Their ceremony was early that morning, just a minister and them. After, we went to Fair Park and did some post-wedding photos.

Sherese and Sean worked their way through the park, ride after ride, having a great time. Sherese, wearing a dreamy, colorful dress, definitely got a lot of compliments as we walked through the park. Comments such as "are you the princess in the parade?" and "Oh, look at Cinderella!" and I cannot think of better compliments to receive on the day of your wedding. Who doesn't want to look and feel like a princess? And, I truly believe that she has found her prince.

Congratulations and Best Wishes to Sherese and Sean. May you live happily ever after.

Enjoy!

Katie & Corey's Incredible Day!

2011-09-30T06:16:00.003-05:00

Simply put- Katie and Corey are an incredible couple. I feel like I could brag on them all.day.long.

Corey is such a gentleman; his eyes light up the second Katie walks into the room. And Katie has a spectacular zest for life; it's hard not to fall in love with them the second you meet them. They are fun-loving, genuinely good people. I have known them for a while now and was truly honored when they asked me to photograph their special day.

There are LOTS of photos you can view on facebook {click here}, but here are some of the highlights from their great day!

Congratulations and best wishes to a beautiful couple! I wish you nothing but the best!

Katie is a phenomenal bride; easy going but full of energy, love and life. She was absolutely radiant in her gown. We did her bridals at her wedding venue, The Victorian House in Kauffman and had a great time! You would never have known that it was 100 plus degrees outside, as nothing could have melted Katie's smile and excitement.

High School Sweethearts

2011-08-15T05:58:00.006-05:00

Newlyweds Adam and Kate are High School sweethearts who after 10 years decided it was time to tie the knot! Surrounded by close friends and family who have been witness to their relationship from the start, they married July 30 in Dyer, Indiana.

I was honored to be invited to the rehearsal dinner where I heard one wonderful story after the next about how fabulous this couple is- and I could not agree more. They have such a fun-loving spirit about them that it made it impossible to stop smiling all through their wedding.

With live peacocks, a game of football and tons of dancing, this was definitely a spectacular wedding truly celebrating true love. Congratulations Kate and Adam and I wish you all the best!

Quintessential Southern Wedding

2011-08-12T15:05:00.012-05:00

Andrea always knew she would have a quintessential Southern wedding, ideally, made all the more special by holding the ceremony at Perkins Chapel on the campus of her alma mater, SMU. And on February 12th, she and her groom, Ken, got just that--a truly beautiful and classic Dallas wedding.

From a timeless Monique Lhuillier gown to perfect stoles for her bridesmaids, Andrea created a gorgeous color palette of pinks, creams and champagne. The evening ceremony was capped off when Andrea and Ken sped away to the reception in a vintage Rolls-Royce. The reception was held at the Park Cities Club where they danced the night away with their guests and truly had a magical evening.

Congratulations to Ken and Andrea!

Southfork Ranch Rocks {Pun intended}!

2011-07-22T04:36:00.000-05:00

Texas Music Revolution hosted at Southfork Ranch was a super cool shoot. A great audience and incredible music makes for one heck of a great time. Southfork {also known as America's Most Famous Ranch} is a great place to host all sorts of events and is perfect as a concert venue. Bands such as The O's, Somebody's Darling, The Old 97's, Robert Earl Keen and many more were featured. This yearly event is definitely not to be missed!

I hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

Always Hope.

2011-07-15T14:32:00.013-05:00

This past week has been an emotional roller coaster and the feeling I have come away with is "honored." Holden passed away July 7 at Children's Hospital. On this earth for only 17 months, Holden inspired everyone and stole the heart of every single person he met. He was a charmer who even through the depths of his pain managed to keep the sparkle in his eyes that melted my heart. I say "honored" because even with his broken heart, he managed to teach everyone how to live with their whole heart. He accomplished more in 17 months than most people do in a lifetime.

I attended his hometown memorial in East Texas last Tuesday and there was not a dry eye in the church. Among the many beautiful tributes, on this day, Holden's Godfather gave one of the most memorable and heartfelt speeches I've ever heard. What he said was a solid reminder to never give up on hope and miracles. "When everything points to the contrary, always hope. Miracles still happen today; Holden was a miracle. Every breath he took and every day we spent with him was a miracle."

This world will not be the same without our precious Holden in it. However, it is forever better because he was in it. I am truly honored I had the opportunity to know him and his family. It is said that if you leave this world having made a positive difference then you had lived a complete and successful life. Well my friends, Holden did just that.

Thank you and God bless you, Holden.

This is Kiersten. And Kiersten is a rock star in front of the camera. Not only was she Miss Dallas Teen 2009, she loves running track and is one of the most easy going, delightful clients I've ever had. We shot all over Dallas and had such a great time together. She's excited about going into her senior year of high school, and is looking forward to college. Though she's not exactly sure what she wants to major in, I know, with her stunning personality and zest for life, she will ace whatever does!

Happy Happy Birthday to one of my favorite little girls, Addy. She turned 3 over the weekend, so of course we had to do a photo shoot in her custom "Queen Addy" cape and shirt.

McLean is here!

2011-06-10T05:11:00.001-05:00

I love this family so much. We had a wonderful time taking the maternity pictures {click here to see those} and so with the newborn photos, I knew it would be nothing less than amazing. We did McLean's newborn pictures when she was just 3 days old and she was absolute perfection. She didn't cry once, but, then again, with such love and happiness around her, why would she? McLean fits into this home perfectly. I cannot wait to watch this little girl grow up. She has won my heart.

Congratulations on such a healthy, beautiful little girl!

Finley's One Year Old Shoot

2011-05-29T11:11:00.010-05:00

When doing an outdoor shoot in Texas, one never knows how the weather will turn out. One day it's 90 degrees and the next, 20 degrees and snowing. Well, this day that we tried to shoot was not any different. With tornado warnings all week and rain appearing out of no where, we were definitely kept on our toes with this shoot. But, in continuing with Texas tradition, it cleared up just long enough so we could do Finley's photo shoot.

Having just started walking, Finley is a precious one year old with an adorable smile and a wardrobe that would make any girl jealous. You can't help but fall in love with her!

The fabulous pup, Kirby

2011-05-11T21:37:00.002-05:00

Kirby, daughter pup to Lindsey, stopped by to be photographed as part of Photos in the Park to Help Holden's Heart. I love photographing animals; there is a certain sense of playfulness and love with every dog and Kirby is no exception. Kirby, when just a pup, was found in a trash can on the curb {hence, the name Kirby}. Lindsey immediately swooped in and gave Kirby a home. And, I am very happy to report that since then, this is one very happy pup!

Eric and JooYang met in South Korea. They flew over to the states for 4 days and had a beautiful ceremony surrounded by close friends and family at the Dallas Arboretum.

Natasha is such a great mom to adorable Ryan. I fell in love with him. He has such a precious smile, adventurous spirit and loving heart. We had a great time playing in the park, he rolled down the hills, played in a giant weeping willow and paused long enough to take great photos in front of the waterfall with Natasha. You can tell no matter what they do, they have an incredible time! Thank you for coming out and helping a great cause!

Inspiration around every corner...

2011-04-15T04:00:00.001-05:00

This is the first of many blogs featuring all the wonderful families that came out to The Woodlands, Texas for Photos in the Park to Help Holden's Heart.

This couple means the world to me. I have known Clarissa for over 13 years. We grew up together. Her family, is my family. We all have 'that' person. Well, she's mine. We balance each other perfectly. She has been an inspiration to me in every way. She has a silent strength, a giving heart and passion for the Lord that is unending.

She met her future husband, Sergio, at Baylor and fell madly in love. They married in a picture perfect (no pun intended) ceremony that of course had me in tears- which is always hard to hide when you're a bridesmaid standing in front of hundreds of guests.... and in heels, but I digress. The reception, of course, went by way too fast. Then off they went to live their perfect life as a newlywed couple.

Their newlywed bliss was soon interrupted when Clarissa found out she had cancer. That is a phone call I will never forget. We should have been talking about their new house and where she was going to put all their newly acquired wedding presents. Instead we were talking about appointments at MD Anderson and immediate surgery. The next few weeks were a blur for everyone. The day Clarissa had her surgery was also the day her sister Vanessa turned 21... so V and I ate a sandwich at the local deli and cheered each other with a fountain drink.

Sergio was pacing up to the moment she came out of surgery. In a drug induced state, she asked for him. He ran all the way to the room. From that moment, he never left her side. The love I saw between them is forever implanted in my mind and heart. It is an unconditional, inspiring, rare love that is ever-present to this day.

Jump to four years later. Us, in a park, taking these photographs for Holden's Heart. She's still my best friend who inspires me daily, they have a new puppy, appropriately named Baylor, a new house, they are celebrating their 4 year anniversary and 4 years of Clarissa being in remission. A love like theirs is one that I wish everyone to have. I know that years from now they will still be celebrating love, life and health. Cheers!
