My week has gotten away from me. It’s been pretty full over here & rainy.  …So I almost forgot to make a post for you, my blog readers. To make up for it, I’m sharing these beautiful, beautiful images of Desiree.  She’s a local model.  If you’d like to contact her for some images, click here.

Now enjoy:

Texture. So, do you like textures on images or not? Sometimes I think it can be overused, but I liked it on this image. What do y’all think?

I love all of these images. But this is my favorite. When downloading my images, I knew immediately this would be my favorite… then I saw the other one a few down in the tall grass… and it’s my favorite, too. : D

Look at those lovely green eyes… I just love crisp, pretty eyes in photographs.  And hers are so reflective & hazel… wonderful!

The one above. That’s my other favorite favorite.. they’re both so different & yet so beautiful.

As you can see, we had a little more fun at the end… who doesn’t love bubbles? : )

Desiree, I had a wonderful time shooting with you!  Thanks for setting some time aside.  And the images are so beautiful, I know it was worth it. Hehe…

I hope everyone has a great weekend… I know I will! : D

My mom and 2 of her friends have dubbed themselves the “3 Amigas” (with just a little help from my husband).  All three are school teachers & so they did a mini-shoot together the week before school “officially” started (aka the week when they are doing workshops & work days).

They met when I was in Kindergarten (so long ago!).  My Kindergarten teacher is the one on the left in the image below, my mom is on the right, and in the middle is the mother of one of my kindergarten friends (who went to another school about 3 years later).  Anyway, they’ve stayed in contact (and a little bit out of contact) over the years.  So here they are, the 3 Amigas!

As you can see, they had a great time… and I got some wonderful laughs for myself too… oh, yeah, and some cute pictures!  : )

I know you’ve been anticipating this post since the preview about a week ago.  : )  (I at least know Abby has!)

And now here they are.  See, didn’t I tell you they were an adorable couple? (Feel free to agree in the comments!)

I had so much fun with this photo shoot.  I was my first in Abilene & it gave me a chance to explore the town a bit.  I grew up in Merkel (about 15 minutes outside of Abilene) and so Abilene was the place to go to the mall, catch a movie, and get good food (except, of course, the little local & yummy places in Merkel – Mesquite Bean, anyone?).  However, I never truly looked at Abilene through the lens of my camera & it was fantastic!  I’ve already found a few other places that I want to do some shots as well, so if you’re interested in a session, but location uncertain, have no fear!  I’ve been gathering ideas for a few weeks now & am ready to explore them!

Now, for all the wonderful (and yummy – check the Chocolate sign!) photos:

Dewayne is a Mac guy.  I concur totally!  I mean after all, their logo is both healthy & yummy!

This was our last shot of the day & totally Dewayne’s idea & I love it.  I know it’s natural to want to look at the camera for shots (I do it too!) but sometimes a lack of eye-contact works!

Rocking the lens flare!  : )

Here’s a Preview from their Just Because session.

I had so much fun. (And aren’t they so cute?!? Well, you can’t see them in much detail in this shot, so you’ll have to agree with me after I’ve got their full post up). : D

Oh, and check out my new watermark. What do you think?

More pictures coming from their session! : )

Ashley has been one of my best friends since 3rd grade & she & Jordan were nice enough to let me photograph them last February (oops, I lied – it was last March)… Yes, I’m late, but it’s okay because they said so. : )

She & Jordan were married approximately a year ago (last April)!  Yay!

Aren’t they cute?

Be sure to enjoy. And don’t overlook the fabulous Wolverine claws in the last photo(s)!

It’s Kristin take 2! : )

It’s time for round 2 of the fabulous Kristin!  I was serious about getting so many gorgeous shots!

In other news, I have a bridal session with the wonderful Marla (which I am so excited about!  Finally, I get to use my 50 f/1.4 lens – if you don’t know what that means, just think lovely portraits -, which I’ve had for about a month, just waiting for a chance to play!) & then Marla & Tim’s wedding the following Saturday (my first wedding to do on my own!).  They’re adorable & I’m so excited!

Also, I’ll have a post of another couple, who has waited patiently for me to get their photos up.  (I love you Ashley & Jordan!)…

Until next time!
