Class of 2013: Rocking those Senior Sessions (Denton/DFW Area Photographer)

It's no lie when I say some of my favorite subjects to photograph are high school seniors.  There is just an energy about them.  The excitement, anticipation and sense of nostalgia too is evident when I meet with them.  They are closing one chapter and embarking on a new one in their lives. 


Caitlin was so much fun to work with.  When her mom first contacted me, we had planned to break her session into two meetings, one early in her Senior Year and one later after she got her cap and gown.  This is a great option for clients that want to get their senior stuff ordered early, but don't want to miss out on those more traditional cap/gown portraits as well.


Now I'll be the first to admit, girls like getting their pictures taken more than guys do.  It's just a fact.  Guys just don't like all the fuss, the haircut, the changing outfits and the posing.  I feel for you guys, I truly do.  But moms love to see their little men all dressed up and smiling for the camera.  Just accept it.  And you are about to venture out into the world and choose when and how you do stuff from now on, no one to tell you what to wear (except your boss someday) or how to cut your hair, or even to nag you about your gas tank level or if you have eaten breakfast.  Let mom have the last opportunity to be mom and capture you as the boy, turned man, that she helped raise.

Grayson was a great sport at this.  He managed to keep his eye-rolling and brooding sighs to a minimum as his mom joked and cajoled him into smiling and showing us that handsome dimple. 




 
Congrats 2013 Seniors, Caitlin and Grayson!  It was a joy to be your Senior Portrait Photographer.  Good luck to both of you as you venture towards independence and knowledge.  I know you will both do GREAT!

Valentine Mini Sessions - Denton County and DFW photographer

What an awesome set of kiddos we had this year for our Valentine Mini-Sessions!  Thanks to everyone that came out and participated.  It's so much fun getting to see your little one's grow each year.  I had so much fun and hope they did too.

Lucky Star Kiddos l Miss G - Denton County Photographer

I wanted to name this blog "They Call her Stink-face"... but really she's too cute for that. Ha.

But one look at her mom's facebook wall, and it's obvious that everyone within a 100 mile radius knows Miss G by her nickname "Stinkface". I must admit, upon meeting her, I was greeted with the cutest scrunched up nose and big almost toothless smile... the kind that is soooo big that her eyes are nearly lost in the bigness of it. And what a shame too, because those eyes are so full of love, joy and happiness they make you want to laugh out loud (LOL for you techies) when you see them. But yes, I see where the term "stinkface" comes from. She really should get it patented.

Miss G is about to celebrate her very first birthday. Which is extra-special because she does so in a loving home with a family that simply ADORES her. A family that chose her as their own when they began fostering her last year. Her mommy lights up with pride when she talks about the adoption that became final in June.

No doubt she is one blessed little lady... beauty, charm, a wardrobe fit for a princess, and a family that counts their blessings each day to have her in their life. Happy Birthday Miss G... may the rest of them be as full of joy as you bring to those that love you.

Handsome Senior and Future Pilot

What a great session I had with Drew a couple weeks ago. He's handsome, smart, articulate and charming --- all great traits to have as he heads off to the Air Force Academy in the fall. We enjoyed some time around Grapevine, at the railroad tracks and then in Historic Grapevine. I was happy to include his parents and sister in a few of the shots as well. My fiance and his dad had a good time getting to know each other before the session as they are both pilots. They were a lovely family to work with and I hope they let me do it again sometime. Congrats Drew and have a great summer!

B Family Sneak Peak

This is my favorite "new client story" to date. I was at the Grapevine Train Depot waiting on a client a few weeks ago and see this ADORABLE family standing around the boxcars and taking a few snapshots. They see me with my massive camera and say "Hi are you ____?" I had to explain that no, I wasn't the photographer they were waiting for, but my client was running late too. After a few more pleasantries I left to go call my client and see what happened. Sure enough, it was a last minute cancel and I walked back over to the now frustrated family (with a soon-to-be growing agitated 2 year old girl).

Next thing I know, we are having a great time getting to know each other and taking some pictures that are some of my favorites to date. Thanks B Family for "picking me up" at the train depot. I had so much fun shooting your family! :)
