Alli and Jason

Here are some photos of my sister and her boyfriend from my trip to Missouri in March. This was probably the fastest session I've ever shot. I think we did the whole thing in 10 minutes, so we didn't get very much to choose from, but I think what we did get was pretty good.

Is Anyone Still There?

I have finally almost caught up on all my work even though I still don't have my Photoshop issue completely resolved, so now I'm going to try to catch up on my backlog of blogging pics! Here are some from William and my trip to my grandparents' farm back in March. They had a massive fire in Feb. and this was the first time I had visited since. It was also the first time William really noticed the cows and even got to feed them....although he was a little afraid of the bull.









some details...















































William discovered pockets on the trip...

















Here are some of the photos I took to try to show the damage from the fire. They lost some buildings and almost lost two more....











Here is a photo I took of William last Thanksgiving....





...and here he is standing in the exact same spot after the fire...





Dodi repairing the roof on a building they managed to save.

The No Computer Blues

My computer is dead....well, not dead, but definitely out of commission for the past couple weeks. I was editing photos when it decided to give me a heart attack and stop working. I really thought I was going to be ill. What a sick feeling that was. Even though I back up all of my files, I had a LOT of edited work (most of it personal) that I hadn't saved. Luckily I have a friend who was able to recover my files, but I have been without a way to edit or blog since then. Ahh!! I have to admit I have felt a little lost, but this is probably good for me. Anyway, as soon as I get the computer back I'll try to get some posts up soon. I'm in Missouri visiting my sister and have a few project ideas I've been bouncing around in my head to do while I'm here, so we'll see how things go...

Dilan's 9 Months

Dilan is growing, growing, growing! I first met this little guy when he was just a few weeks old and now look at him! I spent some time with him and his family Sunday for his 9 month portraits and it is amazing how different he is from the last time I saw him. He's so mobile and aware of everything. Definitely a cutie. Here are some of my favorites from the day....

Brad & Shari

Brad and Shari were married this past November here in Dallas and wanted to have a few bridal portraits and couples portraits made. We met yesterday afternoon for their session and it was a lot of fun. There was a lot of construction going on around where we were shooting, so we tried to make good use of the construction site. That was a nice surprise. Anyway, here are a few of my favorites from the day.
