"I've been working on this Rainbow series for a while. The first image, the Red, was created in memory of my Mom. It was her favorite color, red roses were her favorite flower and I just felt the urge to create something for her. I added the butterflies at the urging of my little model, who, every time she sees a butterfly, says that it is Mimi coming to say Hello. After finishing the red image, I decided that I had to do more. What started out as photo inspired by my mom, turned into a whole project devoted to her memory, her spirit and her love. She was an amazing woman, a funny woman, a loving woman, she was a rainbow."
The Little Gatsby's - 20's Inspired Children's Glamour Portraits
Sometimes, when inspiration strikes, you just have to run with it! Last week, on a rainy, fall, day here in Texas, I decided to take my little one into the studio and have some fun! After a little hairspray, a little makeup, and a lot of bribery, I am so excited to share what we captured!
The next day, I knew that I had to try some of these styling and editing ideas on another precious little princess! When my daughter's friend came over, we got to capture even more sweetness!
For glamorous and artistic children's photography, please contact me! We can work together to find the perfect way to capture your child's character.
Katie's "Marilyn" Inspired Bridal Portraits
I am always nervous when shooting at an unknown location, and was especially nervous when I pulled through the gates of a huge private estate in Mansfield for Katie's bridal portraits. The location was picture-perfect, as was the bride, and I am so thrilled that I was able to capture the "Marilyn Monroe" Old Hollywood inspired look that Katie was going for!
Katie's natural beauty was enhanced by the soft curls and striking makeup.
And no Hollywood glam session is complete without a staircase and a baby grand piano!
Thank you to everyone who helped to make this shoot a success!

Katie & James - Old Hollywood Glam Wedding
Hello to my lovely followers! I have a new goal: to blog more. I am kicking off my commitment to share more lovely images and stories with you all, by sharing some GORGEOUS images and the SWEET story of Katie and James Todd and their Old Hollywood inspired wedding.
The weather was perfect for the outdoor ceremony, and the light shined through the trees beautifully. There wasn't a dry eye in the house when Katie walked down the aisle in THAT DRESS (especially the Groom, the look on his face was priceless!)
The decor of blush, navy and gold helped set the tone of sophistication and glamour.
You can't have class, without a little sass, and the bridal party had plenty of sass to spare!
At the end of a lovely evening, I stole the bride and groom away from their party for a few minutes to grab a few romantic, late-night shots under the twinkling lights.
Congratulations, Katie and James Todd! May your lives be filled with happiness!
