Featured Gallery
What better way to show off my clients' sessions, than by giving them their own gallery that shows more than just a few of their final portraits. I have just added by very first "featured" gallery on my website that features Candee & Jordan's recent engagement session. Be sure & check this gallery periodically...I plan on featuring a new session every few weeks!

New Session Albums
I'm quite excited to now be including a 5x7 album with each of my 2009 portrait sessions (including engagements, bridals, & family sessions). These $200 sessions include a 1-1.5 hour shoot at the location of your choice, a personal online gallery of retouched photos for proofing, and a 5x7 session album featuring up to 30 of your favorite portraits.
Like the designer albums that I offer in the "ultimate" wedding package, the new session albums are of the highest quality. With a wide variety of leathers and fabrics to choose from, these one of a kind albums are perfect for expressing your personal style.
Check out this textured brown session album that was created for the Kirby Family (I added a polka dot ribbon to this album & really loved it!)...
More photos to come!

A First Look
Ok brides, I know it's a big tradition (esp. in the South) for the groom to not see the bride until she walks down the aisle (and I completely respect this), but have you ever really thought about why this is. I mean, who says it's bad luck to see each other & what does that really mean anyways -- Will you end up with a disasterous reception or have children that look like 3-eyed martians? And since when was seeing each other early on your wedding day grounds for divorce? (Did you know that this tradition started back in ancient times when marriages were arranged by families and were often nothing more than good business deals. To ensure the groom wouldn't have second thoughts at the sight of a bride perhaps less attractive than he's assumed, the groom was prohibited from seeing the bride before the wedding.)
I know it may sound silly, but have you considered that seeing each other before the ceremony can be a very romantic & tender moment...maybe even the best moment of the entire day!?!
Imagine this brides, your hubby is standing in a private location with his back to you. You walk in behind him and surprise him in all your beautiful, radiant glory. He gets to see his almost-wife in an intimate, private setting, where he can feel free to express his love and emotion without a hundred pairs of eyes studying him and judging his reaction. You can hug, or kiss, or whisper sweet nothings, exchange gifts or just laugh and have a good time.
You get to ENJOY the moment...a private moment that you normally wouldn't get to enjoy until after the wedding reception. And it doesn't take away from your hubby seeing his wife walk down the aisle; it just adds to the day!
After you have both fully taken in the excitement of seeing each other & spending 15 mins. of private time together, designated just for the two of you, then we can focus on getting some wonderful & creative portraits of you two at the location of your choice that you can display in your album and around your home. You can both relax and enjoy the experience, rather than rushing to finish before the sun sets, or worrying about getting to the reception on time, or being surrounded by a bunch of family members who make those intimate moments just a teensy bit awkward.
Following your special session, the groomsmen & bridesmaids and family can join in for group photographs. And, after the ceremony is over, you get to the reception with your guests, so you can spend even more time dancing and enjoying your loved ones. It’s pretty much a win-win situation for everyone!
So why not take part in a "first look" and make your wedding day even more special for who truly matters most...you & your honey!
Check out these images from a "first look" session that Dallas wedding photographer Stacy Reeves posted on her recent blog....they are gorgeous & if I had to do over, I would love to have some shots like this of me and Marty on our wedding day! I encourage my brides to consider this too!~
