…17;s son was rockin’ the Toms. So lately I’ve developed this strange and slightly embarrassing habit of crying when dads and their daughters dance to Cinderella. Hopefully most people don’t notice, but fell free to point and laught at me if you are at a wedding and witness it live. I do so love these moment though. These ladies really really wanted the bouquet. This guy really really wanted the garter. :) Thank you two for a…

When Heather mentioned that her and Rusty loved heading to the lake, I knew right away where we would be doing their engagement session. Before we got our sea legs under us we did a few on dry land. Free Boat Ride for 3! Flippy Floppies. :) At this point of the session Rusty started pretending he was James Bond and started referring to Heather as “Moneypenny”. Disclaimer: T-Pain was also on the boat, but his publicist would not…

…off your face. You will not “feel” like a princess. You’ll feel like a big white perspiring albino rhino. :) (Those petticoats add an extra layer of warming goodness.) If your bridal session is going to be completely indoors this won’t be a problem. But, if you are wanting any outdoor shots, we’ll want to get on the ball and get your session planned for April or May. There is one location that is actually great for…

…her 2 year old, to in a dress, hair up, makeup on in 1 hour!!!! No more excuses about running late on the wedding day.) She told me every time she sees her wedding dress she wishes she could put it on and wear it around again so I was thrilled to make her Christmas wish come true. :) Two quick facts about the session. 1: I only wore sweatpants and a t-shirt so that I would be reminded of how cold it was outside and not freeze her to death. 2….

…re so into my little family, and would much rather keep up with us rather then the Kardashians, I thought I’d fill you in on the last week or so of our lives. Back when we had the great snow storm of 2010, I had my friend and excellent photographer Lane Davis shoot a few of us prancing around in the snow. I love what he got. Take a look. Ladies & Gentlemen, give it up for the lovely Danielle!!! Also, if you are interested in Missions,…

…g Machine was in full force and they had a Rock the Frock day after session on Monday. (Translation: Lots of images in the next few days.) Ready… Set… Go! I walked into the house where Jennifer was getting ready and found her grandfather getting his combover done by the stylist. Best. First Image. Ever.? Jennifer had all of these done by an artist she found on Etsy, visit her full site here. Steven is sneaker head so he actually fly…

…they have been reading on the wedding blogs the frequent. One bride mentioned that she can’t wait for “a stamp to just be a stamp again.” (Rather than something she has to pick out, plan colors for, order hundreds of, and stick on envelopes.) The other said she can’t wait for her wedding to be over so she does not have to keep checking them. :) I have never planned a big wedding and I’m sure these sites contain a…

…s an old/new house located just outside of Kilgore and I think I could shoot there 12 times and not shoot in the same locations. Brides, if you are looking for a great location you need to get in touch with Missy. Email her and get on the calendar. (missymerritt@hotmail.com) Don’t believe me? Take a look. How about a long slow clap for the incredible florals from La Tee Da Flowers. Thanks Darcee for a great session and extra big thanks to…

…ildren’s shorts for 20 foot tall women. Fun with mannequins. The on camera chemistry these two had made my lenses happy. I love this one. Another favorite. This may be my favorite from the day. These two also love Nintendo stuff, so they brought a few little props for the end. In case you have not figured it out yet there were so many great images I could not just blog 10 or so of them. I decided to show you them all… That’s right……

…y weddings from couples who are out of town or can not meet until the day of the engagement/bridal session that I thought it would be fun to let you all come along on a session to see what they are like. This will give you kinda a behind the scenes look at what goes on and what to expect. So here it is… the world premiere screening of my engagement session video. Get your coke and popcorn ready, have a seat, and enjoy the show. (Also be…
