As promised, although far too late

Below are the results of a lovely afternoon spent with the Cooper family. We headed down to lovely little Shanley Park in Granbury, Texas. Not only is this place lovely, but quite sentimental to this wonderful family. Mom and Dad had their first date here, not to mention their wedding. I know this will be a special place for them for many years to come and it was an honor to help freeze this place in time.

I SEEK FORGIVENESS

I just received my results for the statmeter to this blog. I really didn't think anyone ever checked this thing - and yet it says you do. Blesss you! I'm working on getting my website up and running these days and am officially becoming the worst blogger ever. Please forgive me; I promise to do better. I have some serious cuteness to be posted. And I promise I will!

Shannon and Bill are getting hitched!!

I spent a lovely afternoon yesterday with the lovely Shannon and Bill to take their engagement pics. We headed out to the Japanese Gardens in Ft. Worth, amongst the massive, massive crowds. We even managed to snap some with their dogs at home. Photographers often talk about 'that perfect light.' You just know when you've got it and you definitely know when you don't. Lucky us - we had it!!

Liz Frandsen - a Miracle Worker!!!

I have to share some pictures! I am currently going out shooting with every photographer I can and learning so much from each and every one of them. Last week I was in Utah and had the chance to work with Elizabeth Taylor Frandsen. I have been following her work for some time now; she is now back in UT after a few years in Conneticut.

She is working on a project for her website called project femininity. Her whole idea is to set up a business around this where women can come and work with her and she will make them feel so beautiful! And it works!

I originally was just going to go along with her and watch her shoot and then she asked if i would want to pose for her. I laughed.

Well ok then I did it. I wanted to look awake for the first time in over 2 years. So I went all out. I had a litttle too much makeup on but i was going for wiiiiiide awake. Anyway - here are the results - this is why I love photography so much - it is magic. Check them out here...
