My Cousin Courtneys Wedding

My cousin Courtney Schrade got married a couple of months back and I wanted to post my favorite images from her wedding. I wasn't the photographer by any means but my camera goes where I go!

Lana Reeves Wedding

Lana called me a couple of months before her wedding after she saw my ad on Craigslist. She had an "issue" with her first photographer and really needed a favor. So I told her I would love to help her out. Lana and her now husband Aaron have a beautiful little girl and she closed off the reception with a song that made everyones eyes tear up! These are just a few of the images that I loved from their very cold wedding on December 5 at the YWCA in Fort Worth.

Alexia and Family

Alexia works with my mom and once she saw some photos I had done for another co-worker of my moms she wanted some family portraits just in time for the holidays. Her family both immediate and extended were amazing. The kids were very well mannered and listened to all the posing perfectly.

Sometime with large families posing can be difficult but this family fell into each pose naturally!

Family Portaits

So this year I had alot of intrest in large family portraits. Not just immediate families but alot of sister in laws, etc. You would expect with a large family there would be alot of bickering and screaming kids, but not once with any of my families did I have this problem!

Steph and her little man!

Stephanie is another girl that I had the pleasure to go to high school with and she now has a beautiful little boy!

We met up at Harry Meyers Park and although it was windy we got all sorts of cute images of her, her little man, and his daddy. Kade was awesome to work with and I can't wait to continue and photograph him as he gets older!

Nikki and Zach

Nikki asked me to take just some casual couple portraits of her and her significant other Zach and I was happy too! I went to high school with both and was excited to take their portraits! We went to Harry Meyers Park which is a park that I frequently take photos at. It is a central location and has a variety of different places to take some amazing photos!

Forcing myself to do this!

I don't know why I find it so hard to get on my blog and post. I am constantly shooting, but with our big news I've just been so stinking exhausted!
Well the big news is... We are expecting!
I am almost 9 weeks and our first Dr.'s appointment is on Tuesday. I've been feeling absolutely miserable, with the morning sickness and being worn out that I hope everything is ok! I called in to work today because the nurse says I should stay off my feet until I get past my first initial appointment!
I am super excited and can't wait for month 5 so we can know what we are having. I am very impatient!
But we will be happy no matter what God gives us!
On a photography note, my main lens has decided to go nuts on me! So I am sending it to Nikon first thing on Monday and hoping that it gets resolved... seeing as I got it in June I hope they fix it fast!
My extra lens is just not doing it for me so for right now all is well because my next big shoot isn't until February but after that if my issue is not resolved I will be lens shopping on a very limited budget!
Starting this venture in my life has just been really tuff. My website looks amazing to anyone who sees it but I dont think it is getting much traffic. So I am hoping that I can get some new business cards and some advertising going. With the new baby coming I am def. going to need some shoots set up!
I will now post some images from the past couple of months that I have failed to keep up with! Forgive me!
