Senior Sneak Peek | Dallas Senior Portrait Photographer

It might be the middle of winter but things are only getting hotter around here. From the amazing onslaught of spring and summer sessions which are coming this way, the new products we're testing, and the restructuring of our collections and product pricing, things are aimed to keep everyone on their toes.

One of the coolest new additions is the way we will be posting out sneak peeks for high school seniors. I know you want the full Hollywood treatment from start to finsh, and as such your images will be displayed in a fully unique way to show off the amazing session you had.

Today's sneak peek is for Brendan, a senior this year whom I had the honor of spending an afternoon with downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan trying out new ideas and getting a little quirky. He wanted something different from what anyone else would have, and I think we managed to nail it on the head.

Enjoy the sneak!

Without Delay...

It's with great pride (and full permission) that I share this with all of you.

Please enjoy.

The Mr. & Mrs.

Just thought I would share a few quickly. It was a gorgeous day, everyone was smiling, and I had a wonderful time working with bride and groom. I'm so excited to dig into these photographs.

Enjoy! And leave them a comment.

It's Edgy

My amazing friend Alex who modeled for me this past summer hired me to do her senior portraits. She wanted something "edgy" and different and totally non traditional. So we spent the evening downtown playing with the lights and shadows. Posting a sneak peek for her.

Sneak Peek

I wish I had the energy to say how fantastic of a time I had on Saturday with K&B but I'm just plain tuckered out right now and in need of some good, deep sleep.

Enjoy this little sneak peek! Baby is coming in April and I can't wait to meet her!

It is my pleasure...

To give you a small little sneak peek into the love story of Katie and Robert...

Once again I'd like to thank Krista from Amoura photography for all her help during the wedding, some of these sneaks were photos she took but were so amazing I had to share them. It has been so a wonderful experience working with Krista the past few weeks.

The day of the wedding and the sky is bright and blue and full of promises for the future.

The ceilings were amazing! Look at them. Gorgeous.

This shot nearly brought me to my knees I loved it so much. I don't think I have the vocabulary to be able to describe how much I love this picture. The focus and highlights on the dress are marvelous.



The red in her wedding was brilliant. Enough to notice without being overwhelming. Perfect.





There they are... Almost time. Mom was sniffling behind me by this time.





You may now kiss the bride.



The ring. Gorgeous.

I know, a lot of kissy mushy pictures, but I can't help it. They were so in love with each other it would be a shame not to share.





Dancing with her father - Something about this picture is just so timeless to me. The way he holds her hand and is gently guiding her around the dance floor.



She was so proud to be the first to smash the cake. I had to prove it was true.

The DJ had an amazing set up and as soon as I locate the card he gave me with all his information I will share it with you!

See what I mean? The lighting was fantastic! Such a cool addition to the reception.







These lights were just fabulous! I had so much fun playing with my camera and the lights.

Time to toss the bouquet! Too bad the groom decided to launch the garter on the count of "One" and caught me totally by surprise. Remember... you wait until "Three" not "One". ;)

And we end with a little "Soulja Boy" I have a whole set of pictures from these three doing their Soulja Boy dance and they are just priceless. But you'll have to wait to see more of those. ;-)

As always, if leave a comment and show you love! 25 comments get the B&G an 11x14 of MY choice. 50 comments get the B&G an 11x14 of THEIR choice. And if we break over 100 comments the B&G will get a 10x20 storyboard image!

The Reason is This...

Yesterday I had the most amazing opportunity to photography Robert and Katie's wedding. Their story is simple, perhaps even traditional in some parts, and yet all together extraordinary. They met while in high school, dated for a few years, and decided they could not delay the rest of their lives any longer. But the most delightful part about them was the electricity of passionate love that surrounded them. Their eyes would lock and they would instantly be transported into their own little world. They would dance together on the floor and you could almost see them float off into the clouds. My favorite moment of the night, was during a song when they were dancing together, a beautiful flowing across the dance floor in a softly lit room with everyone watching, and the groom began to sing the words of the song to his bride, and they were like lyrics of a poet drunk on love coming from his mouth in a whisper meant only for his wife.

This is why I love my job. This is why I am so giddy to be invited to photograph a wedding, because being able to have the honor of telling someone's love story is the most amazing thing I have ever done.

This couple will have an official sneak peek later this week, but for tonight I had to leave you with one quick image. They would dance pressed together, nose to nose, moving together in an effortless dance of love and possibilities.

Miss K

We did her bridals in December and just now enjoyed an afternoon with her finance. Here's a little sneak peek of the amazing time we shared. And I'm sorry, but these two were just hot. ;) You can just tell how in love they are. Couples like this make my job so easy peasy.
