WOW! This afternoon Jenna and I had the oppurtunity to video and photograph Dayana and Jose's wedding! And we could not have asked for better weather!

I have to start by saying that Dayana is an absolute BEAUTY, she doesn't smile much, but the camera LOVES her nonetheless! We met up with Dayana at her parent's home and it was immaculate! Jenna and I watched every step we made to make sure that we didn't break something, there were knick knacks all around!

Dayana and Jose are such a sweet couple and are perfect for each other! We wish them nothing but the best!

Here are a few of our favorites from today, hope that you all enjoy them as much as we did!

Jose and his sports car!

Wow, Jenna, this is a GREAT shot!

Maybe I need to watch out, before long you will be taking over, Ha!

What is it about a black and white wedding portrait?

They are just so beautiful, classic and timeless!

OK! I have to tell you, Jenna took all of the black and white images. She always helps me out with editing, but today was the first time behind the camera! That's right, she videoed the wedding as well as helped photograph! From the looks of it she will be helping me photograph more often.

As always we would LOVE to hear comments from our viewers!

Saturday we had the pleasure of traveling to Williamson County to photograph three lovely young ladies who are Seniors this year and they were absolutely a joy to work with... I believe this was probably the hottest day of the year!LOL! It was so hard for me to see as the sweat was rolling down my face and into my eyes, but it didn't appear to be to hot for these girls as they really knew how to work the camera and believe me there were lots of great shots and it was hard to decide which ones to show off, but here are a few of Olivia... will post some more of the other two girls a little later.

Check back soon for more pictures.

Dallas 9 Months Inside Session

This little cutie is the absolute joy of my life.... I suppose that is what grandkids are for....
But I believe he can make me laugh more than anyone I know, and lately that has been a lot.
He changes every day and I believe he also gets sweeter and his personality gets even better with it. He doesn't see any strangers, as he smiles at anyone willing to pay attention to him and if they don't, he will wave and holler Hi until they do. At this point in his life he is very active and doesn't like to stay still for very long at a time, but we did manage to get a few inside shots in this week and are hoping for better weather this weekend so we can do some outside shots. He loves to talk... I think he got that from his dad! HaHa! He now says moma, daddy, hi, and they said he has even said Nana, but of course I haven't heard it yet!! But can't wait for him to call me that, because I have tried to teach him that word ever since he came home from the hospital!lol! Hope you enjoy.

Dekalb County Fair - 1st Place Baby Boys 7-9 Months

I know we all think our grandkids are the cutiest... but I do want to brag on mine. He was in the Dekalb County Fair Baby Show Thursday night and was absolutely a little charmer. He came on stage simling, and waving at everbody. He was so happy, which is nothing unusual for him... he's always happy. And needless to say apparently the judges fell in love with him just like everybody else does, as he won 1st place in his age group. Way to go Dallas, Nanna & Poppy are so proud of you and we love you more than you will ever know!
