Sara + Aaron King = one hot couple!

Sara and Aaron were married downtown Fort Worth at the YWCA. These are a few pics to hold over the family till I am finished with the rest.

You are able to get a feel of the classy but fun atmosphere...you see that by the shoes the guys wore and the sassy hot pink shoes Sara wore to the reception.

I used the pearls to drape the rings on because pearls was a major theme of the wedding. You are able to see little pearls in the bouquet and they were on each of the tables at the reception.

I had a blast and as you can see, this couple was way easy to photograph. Thanks again for letting me be a part of your special day!

New products

I always upload my pics in the wrong order on here...well, here is the inside of a press book I designed. Scroll down for more pics. This is a hard cover, they come in soft cover as well.

This is 9x6 press book. It is a cheaper version of a story book. They come in hard and soft covers, and multiple other sizes.

Take a look at the other samples.
I created each page, as I would like to do for you!

This is an 11x14 Slim Wrap.
You are able to buy a very classy looking print and not have to buy a frame for it!
It stands off the wall a few inches to give it that studio look

This also has a metallic finish to it.

Photography Marketing

Hello out there to any photographers--as you may or may not know my passion is to be a full-time wedding photographer. I know all business ebbs and flows, but right now I feel stagnant. I am sure everyone has been there, and with the economy now it's probably easier for most people to elope.

I have faith in the Lord to build my business in His timing. He will give me what I can handle, which I am very thankful for. Wow, what an awesome God I serve!

I am curious--what marketing tips would you pass along to other photographers?

Sara's Bridals

So, it's not every day you get to photograph someone as beautiful as Sara. I would pose her and she was a natural, very laid back, and so humble.

We basically walked in a circle around a specific area to get all these shots. I am really trying to think outside the box, especially when it comes to shooting brides, weddings, and engagements. My business goal is to become a full time wedding/bridal/engagement photographer.

I have many goals set for myself and I know in God's timing they will all line up. Enjoy the pics and remember I LOVE COMMENTS!

Tell me what you like, tell me what you don't like, tell me what you would like to see me do more of out not so much more of. :)

Kiddo's

Coming from a different angle, this is sweet little Clara. She is not so little anymore though. I use to babysit her when she was 6 months old.

Big brother Gabrielle. I am using a new effect here, I really like the way the finished result turned out.

Today is the first day of fall--who needs updated pics? This is the time of year I like to have my update family picture done.
This is just a sneak peek....more to come!

There is something about this shot, that I love, loved it when I took it and knew I would love the finished result.

Beautiful bride walking out to take some shots with her bridemaids. One of those money shots that was not planned....doesn't every photographer love those kind of shots!
Boys will be boys! Gotta love the REAL moments!
Simplicity! Perfection! This picture speaks a million years.

I hope you have been enjoying my work....two weddings this weekend so many more pics to come!! I hope to capture moments that stun people, and put them into awe. Please pray that my business begins to grow in this area. I absolutely love shooting weddings, engagements, and bridals!

Stay tuned for bridals to be posted Saturday night or Sunday...I have had to wait to post them until the wedding passed. Yay!

This weekend I have two weddings, one is on Friday evening and the other on Saturday. I am really hoping to set up more weddings after this weekend. I really enjoy the atmosphere on wedding days. I catch myself getting caught up in the ceremony. I have actually got choked up at a few, and had to tell myself to FOCUS! Marriage is such a beautiful thing God created for man and woman to enjoy. Marriage is not seen as something holy anymore. Marriage is looked upon as a joke. People say, "why marry, when we can just live together" I can not wrap my mind around that. It was only 50 years ago when people who divorced were banned from their family, or looked down upon. We live in such a people pleasing world nobody stands up for what is right anymore.

When Hollywood is setting the example for the world that it is okay to have kids together, live together, and not be married....what do you expect. I am scared for what Abigail will have to face when she gets older. I am not saying 16 older, I am thinking when she is around 8. Life is rough for girls, they have such high standards to look perfect because of all the magazines portraying perfect bodies that have been brushed up on photoshop.

Sorry for getting on my soapbox..... I am blessed to have lived life with my husband for almost 4 years now. I could not imagine living with him without a certificate, without a blessing from the congregation who witnessed our marriage, and most importantly God's blessing.

Just a side note-- more than 50% of people who live together before they get married, divorce. So--why take the risk?

I am on a roll lately....I will try to keep my blog up to date. Bridals will be up soon! I can't wait to show them off! Anyone need a photographer?

Sharpen one another, not stab one another

Friendship..........
It is hard to come by these days, full of business, and the very fact we all have a selfish nature. Many are hurt by others due to selfishness, how one can gratify themselves. The end result= pain on both sides. I have experienced it, I am sure you have to....honestly, probably, on both sides.
When one seeks to fill their own desires, they only end up feeling alone and not complete. We must seek after eternal things, not earthly things. This day will vanish like a vapor....what are you putting your time and energy into? Who are you investing into, and not taking away from?
I have been burned one to many times....it hurts.....
When I invest into a friendship I do not expect in return deception...but, at times I have received that and then it makes future friendships even harder, because then I have to ask myself, is it worth the time of getting hurt again.
What brings one to a point of letting go of something that seemed so sweet at one time....laughter........harmony...........sharpening...........late night talks.............roadtrips.............
I understand seasons do change, but a true friendship should never waver. Do you give up and move on, or keep after something that seems lost forever?
Friends are to sharpen one another, not stab one another to get ahead in life. Like I said before, in the end, it will only leave you feeling alone.
What kind of friend are you?

Business

It has become impossible to keep up on my blog....I have been editing a lot of pictures, being a full-time mommy, and just running a business.
