Awesome Friend {Angelina}

Last week, a friend of mine and I went to visit the ministry Prison to Purpose. God taught us so much in that brief week. We cried together, laughed together, drank coffee together, took pictures together, talked, shared, encouraged, etc. We are very different--she's Canon, I'm Nikon; she has short hair, I have long; she has brown eyes, I have blue; and the list goes on and on. But we both share a common thread: a love for Jesus and desire to follow Him.

We also both share a of love for photography. Over the ten days we spent together, we did several photo shoots, meaning I got a lot of pictures (too many to post at once). So, I decided to post pictures of Angelina's (aka Babbs') beautiful face today. :)

 Airport boredom. :/

I met Babbs at a girl's finishing school over a year ago, and I hadn't seen her since then. So I was really excited to find out that we were going to be going to prison together! After our week at prison, we flew back to Texas to hang out for a few days. She is so much fun and I miss her!

I Love: ~B&W~

This is a post I've been looking foward to getting up for a while! I love Black & White Photography; black and white photographs speak so loudly even though they are so simple. There's just something about them!

A couple of weeks ago, my family and I went to our property out in Terrell for the day just to hang out and cut firewood. I grabbed my camera on the way out, and I knew that I wanted to get some black and white images out of the day! I couldn't decide which ones to post, but I finally picked five. One day I hope to have a big gallery with a whole room designated for black and white photographs. But until then, my blog works really well. :)  Enjoy!



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!

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!!!
