Sisters in Downtown McKinney {McKinney, Allen Photographer}

I had so much fun with these two sisters in downtown McKinney a couple of weeks ago.  They are fun and artsy and up for anything.  I love leaving a session feeling more energized than I arrived.  Thanks girls for a great afternoon!

Christmas Surprise! {McKinney Photographer}

I received a call from this wonderful family a couple of months before Christmas.  Brooke wanted to surprise her mother for Christmas with a family picture when everyone was together for the holiday.  The catch...there was only one day that they would all be in the same place.  So...the day after Christmas we made it out to downtown McKinney for a VERY cold session.  The poor little three year old was so cold by the that he had bitten his lip and drawn blood from shivering by the end of the session.  The kids were such troopers and neither one ever complained.  We had a wonderful time and captured great memories!




I had to share this version of this picture.  I just love the old-timey look with pictures in downtown!


Thank you Brooke for sharing your family with me!

McKinney Mini Sessions {McKinney Photographer}

Oh my goodness...last week's mini sessions were sooo much fun. Five beautiful girls dressed in ADORABLE clothes! These moms were the perfect example of dressing your children for fabulous pictures. These girls were all so sweet and just a joy to work with.


Here are a few sneak peeks from the session....





Sneak peeks from my Red Vintage Couch Sessions are coming soon...

Fairview Wedding {Allen, Texas Wedding Photographer}

My partner and I shot a wedding on Saturday evening.  Lots more pictures to come, but this one captured my heart....

Anna, McKinney Christian Academy {McKinney, Tx Senior Photographer}

I took Anna's senior pictures back in August but only posted them on Facebook.  As I was going through her pictures today, I was struck by how many beautiful ones there were that I never posted.  So here are a few of my "other" favorites from her session in Adriatica.  As I have said before....I think there is something in the Texas water supply.  Such a beautiful girl!

Senior Pictures in the Countryside {McKinney Senior Photographer}

I had the honor taking Catherine's senior pictures earlier this month.  She asked me for a country look.  We found a great ranch and got permission to use it for the pictures.  This was the storyboard her mom ordered for the pictures.  I thought it was a great selection of her pictures to share on my blog.  Have a great senior year Catherine!

Abbie and Spencer {McKinney Photographer}

Last month I had the honor of photographing the wedding of an amazing woman.  She has to be the most laid-back bride I have ever seen (certainly nothing like I was - but that is another story).  Abbie and Specer's wedding was at a wonderful little bed and breakfast in Clarksville, Texas.  They rented out the entire facility for guests to come and stay.  She was not only the bride, but a wonderful hostess to her guests.  Abbie was tons of fun (as you can see in the pictures) as well.  She is also naturally beautiful and made a stunning bride. 

One last note for all the horried car owners out there...the shoe polish on the truck was immediately discovered by Abbie's sister and quickly washed off.  But not before I snapped that picture - whew!

 Blessings on your marriage Abbie and Spencer!
