Gonzalez' {Family Portraits}

I was so excited to

do the Gonzalez' family portraits Saturday!

Louis and Michelle have

two cute kids, Valen and Karis!

Michelle look familiar? :)

Amanda Hobbs, who's family pictures I did last week,

is Michelle's twin sister!

Cute couple, or what!?

I hope you enjoyed looking

at these pictures! I had a lot of fun

taking them!

LIVE. LOVE. LAUGH. CAPTURE IT!

Fun with Meagan

Merry Christmas to all! Here in Texas, we are having a warm Christmas season. We just had a "cold" front move through, but before that it was in the mid-70's. I love the warm weather. In my opinion, if it isn't going to snow, it doesn't need to be cold. But, there are those who would rather drink hot chocolate by a warm fire. However, if I could pick between it being warm or snow, I would definitely pick snow!

Since it is warm, we might as well enjoy it, right? The other day, a good friend of mine and I went to Meyers Park to take pictures and just hang out. Meagan loves photography and she is really good at it! She has an amazing portfolio of pictures she took in the Philippines. She has lived all over the world and seen places I've dreamed of. But, we were having just as much fun Saturday in McKinney, Texas as anywhere.

Meagan has a twin sister and a younger sister. They are so cute together! They didn't want to model for us, but I'm determined to get a picture of the three of them together. :)








Although I own Nikon, I love any camera. I would love to own both Canon and Nikon cameras someday. If it takes a picture (including Point-and-Shoots, iPhones, laptops, and dSLR's), I love it!








This spot is one of my new favorites! The lighting is gorgeous! Meagan and I love rim lighting, so we were excited to find that this is a perfect spot for it!











Friends forever. <3

Thank you Meagan for being a great, supporting, and encouraging friend!


I'm going to take a short break from blogging, so check back after the holidays! I hope you have a very merry Christmas! I hope God blesses you and your family this Christmas season like never before!

LIVE. LOVE. LAUGH. CAPTURE IT!

Portraits {Mary-Kathryn}

On Wednesday, I went to a workshop put on by friend and wedding photographer, Jessica Shae (http://www.jessicashaeblog.com/). I love Jessica's work, so when I heard that she was doing a one-day workshop, I told her to sign me up! We had tons of fun!

First, we went to Jessica's house and talked about starting and running a business, Photoshop and Lightroom, etc. Then, we went to Chick-fil-A. : )   After that, we went on a photo shoot, which is what these pictures are from. We were assigned to someone to do a portrait session with. I got Mary-Kathryn! I had never met Mary-Kathryn before the workshop, and I was so excited that I got to do her photos. She is fun and likes bold colors. We both share a love for Kohls!!! She has such a sweet personality, and I look forward to keeping in touch with her!

Jessica also took pictures of each one of us. : D  Next, we went to a library and edited our photos. Then, we watched Jessica do an "engagement" shoot. The couple was already married, but Jessica decided to set it up like an engagement shoot so that we could see how she interacts with a couple that is in love. ; )Then we went to Chipotle, then to a frozen yogurt place.

All that to say, I had a great time and I got some great pictures of Mary-Kathryn. Thanks for being such an awesome model, Mary-Kathryn! And, thank you Jessica for investing in the lives of up-and-coming photographers! And, thanks, fellow students for making it a fun day!!!
