A Gorgeous Couple Helps Me Remember What Young Love Was Like

I love to say often that the experience of photographing people at various "mile marker" moments in their lives is as much a gift for me as I hope my images will be for them. And I was bowled over by the expressions of Marcus and Frankie....they still have me speechless!

We met up during a day of gorgeous weather in Downtown Dallas, Deep Ellum. Young Love... I had almost forgotten what it felt like to be head over heels and engaged. But these two were great reminders! I just can't get over the looks they gave each other and the camera...they let it all show! Love, promise, future, excitement, joy, playfulness, commitment; it was all there!

And if the beautiful couple of Frankie and Marcus wasn't enough...what a venue. I really enjoyed capturing them among the many awesome scenes that the Arts District has to offer.

Best wishes to Frankie and Marcus. If you're recently engaged and would like to capture the promise for posterity, contact me for a session.

This Mom Gives New Meaning to the Word "Babysitter"

                     Meet Beth. She is an AMAZING mom of two boys. She says she is 'just a babysitter'...and she is, in a way that is so much MORE than I've ever imagined.

         

                               Beth is a surrogate. The baby she is carrying is a girl. She says that as the 'babysitter', she gets to carry and hold and take care of the little one until it's time to go home with her parents. 

                               The baby's name is Molly, and genetically she is 100% of her Mom and Dad! In 4-5 more weeks, Baby Molly will be welcomed by a very excited big brother.

          I have to say that I am so humbled and awed by Beth and the gift she is giving to this family....I don't think I could do it! After carrying a child I wouldn't want to let her go but Beth is really a "big-picture"person, with a mother's spirit and a giving heart...definitely more than the 'babysitter' she gives herself credit for.

                                  If you are expecting and would love to schedule a 'tummy session' with me, I would love the opportunity to mark this special moment in your pregnancy with you.

Stunning, Beautiful Kids & Family Portrait Session

I had a great time with this family. All of them were very sweet, and look at the HAPPINESS in all of their faces. What a family!! The kids loved my camera and needless to say they are stunningly beautiful! Both sets of parents were visiting from Bombay, India, and I was blessed to be there to cover the momentous event!
