Lindey and Jacob / Orange, TX Prom Photographer

This past weekend was prom for my daughter's school. I love prom and the fancy dresses and tuxes! Lindey and Jacob looked amazing! Here are some of the photos! The only problem I have is choosing my favorite!!

I had the opportunity to take maternity photos of the cutest couple!! They are pregnant with their first baby and I'm excited for her to be born so I can take her newborn photos! I LOVE babies!! Here are a few photos from our session.

So sweet!! She should be having baby Payton in the next 2 weeks!! Yay!! 

H&J Family/ Orange, Texas Family Photographer

My sister-in-law asked me to take their family photos! It was CRAZY with so many people but it was lots of fun too!! Here is a sneak peek of some of the photos I've been working on. I'll post a few more once I've finished working on them.

Such cute kids!! I love them! :)

Lindey in Black & White / Orange, Texas Senior Photographer

This is a set of Lindey's Senior portraits all edited in black and white.  I love black and white photos, especially when they have high contrast.  I also love when a black and white portrait loses some of the detail in the face.  I added some texture and bokeh (fancy word for spots of "light") to this first photo. I think it adds a little dreaminess to it.

This second photo is probably my favorite in this collection.  Her eyes look so gorgeous in this photo!

Jesse / Orange, Texas Child Photographer

I recently had a session with a super adorable 1 year old boy! Jesse was not excited to have his photo taken because he wanted to go play, but I was able to get some pretty great shots of him and capture his fun little personality!  Here are a few of the photos I've been working on from his session....

Lindey / Orange, Texas Senior Photographer

This senior session is my daughter.  I think we will do another session this spring in a more urban setting but these were taken on location in and around our barn, house, and on the railroad tracks across the street! Yay for convenience! We have some pretty awesome settings for photography right here at home! Here are a few of our favorites.
