Now that Lauryn is officially a Mrs., I thought it would be a good time to post her bridal portraits. I met Lauryn in Tyler, Texas a few weeks back to take her bridals. The ever talented Leann Burns of Chelle Salon did Lauryn’s hair, and make up artist Mollianna Redding did Lauryn’s makeup. Lauryn wanted a natural, elegant, and slightly vintage look, and I think Leann and Mollianna really helped to pull this off! Also – don’t you just love Lauryn’s bird cage veil?! And the feathers in her hair were great as well. I always love photographing brides with fun accessories – heels, different jewelry, hair accessories, and in Lauryn’s case, even a small makeup change at the end! Alright, enough gabbing, here are the photos!

So, now that the big day has come and gone, and Ms. Jinkerson is now Mrs. Carpenter, it is time to show off Amanda’s bridal portraits! We met on a literally record breaking hot day in April to take these photos, and Amanda totally wins the biggest trooper award! She had tons of props that she and her family and friends helped haul around for the session, not to mention my voice was totally MIA during the session! I started out with somewhat of a voice, and by the end, I was whispering and hand motioning / modeling myself to show her what poses I was thinking of! Definitely an interesting way to do a shoot, but Amanda did great, and was super easy to pose and work with! I hope you all enjoy Amanda’s bridals!










Julie’s big day has come and gone, and now it is time that I can finally show off her gorgeous bridal portraits!! It is always so hard to have to wait to post these lovely ladies bridals until after the wedding! I get so excited to show them off, and then I usually can’t post them for a couple of months. Julie was such a trooper for her shoot – it was right after Thanksgiving, and while it could have been absolutely freezing (thank goodness it wasn’t!) it was pretty stinking chilly! She wore a North Face jacket most of the shoot between poses! It was a super fun session that took place in and around her parents’ property, which makes these photos all the more special.





Now that Megan is a Mrs., it is time to show off her lovely bridals! We couldn’t have asked for a better day to shoot, especially for mid-December! It was barely even chilly! Doesn’t Megan make such a beautiful bride??!





Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!! We sure had a lot to celebrate from 2010, and are thankful for all of the blessings we’ve received in those short 12 months! While I am busy editing away a few recent sessions and a wedding from 1-1-11
I thought we’d have a contest for all to vote on their favorite image of 2010! Make sure to vote for your favorite image – there are a few sessions with more than one choice!! The winner of the contest will receive their choice of a free mini photo session or a 16×20 print of the image that wins! Invite all of your friends and family to log on and vote! Voting will go from now through Sunday, January 9th at 10pm, CST. Happy voting everyone!!
