I'm sitting here listening to some inspirations and encouragements...and really gathering thoughts to write up a quickie blog.... What i've noticed about a lot of our lives...is we have dreams....right? The question is....WHOSE dreams are they really?

2012-01-17T22:49:00.000-06:00

I've noticed a lot of us discussing following our paths lately....and sometimes we feel like we are doing backwards or forwards in life.... I like to see it like this now....our paths aren't always STRAIGHT...I can sometimes see our paths as kind of winding...through mountains, valleys - maybe a few waterways....maybe our path is like that of a butterfly...fluttering about with the wind in our

2012-01-11T12:53:00.000-06:00

I still can't believe SUNDAY happened!!! That was an amazing time...and I had a fun fun time just meeting people and snarfing down a subway sandwich...and then it was nonstop for a few hours! I felt like a train hit me by the end of the day...and loved EVERY minute of it. I equate this to going to New York City....i go, it is usually WAY out of my normal life routine...and i'm usually pushing

You saw me post about wonderland already.... but today I took myself a little further in the journey of their images............ and i'm so excited to share something i'm going to print IMMEDIATELY! hahaahah!!! I love it! I asked them to make out in the bathroom stall - to capture the uniqueness that the entire venue had to offer. Then, just today, I took it up a notch by creating the

I know I know!! You are waiting for some details on this !!!! I was called in ONE WEEK before this wedding to come on out and capture it. A long time creative friend I knew from way back....and her brother was getting married. I was never more excited to be a "surprise" gift than this wedding. This wedding, I was the surprise. :) It was super super super cool to see the details in MOTION for

Herez to a new year.

2011-12-28T00:44:00.000-06:00

2012 isn't here yet, but my mind is already there. My body is not. I have been pigging out a little too much over these last 2 weeks...and I'm feeling the effects. I don't like it and I don't really care for myself right now! Oh my GOODNESS! I realized also, that my attitude in not feeling good about me -makes me also not very likeable or energetic anymore. I don't like that. I like

Merry Christmas, HAPPY HAPPY all-holidays.

2011-12-24T11:54:00.000-06:00

I can't wait to share the fun things of 2012 already coming my way. I have some things to get together before anything happens - but I have a few weeks to do so. So many many many fun things to prep for...and enjoy on this journey. My article about the business is going to be featured in spring now, instead of this week. I can't wait to see it because I think the writers on this are super

2011-12-19T18:07:00.002-06:00

I am finishing up the last stages of my Corsicana Wedding! WHAT A FANTASTIC time I've had....it has been busy, but I am getting it done. The rush of Christmas and hub-ub of life...has got me going full-steam-ahead!!!!! So today, I sat down for a bit to create some art... I really wanted to explain something out...that I think is actually quite fun. :) ....during the wedding time...I stole

BIG THANKS and the upcoming fun of 2012.

2011-12-19T00:41:00.000-06:00

So, I know itz not 2012 yet...but I feel like it is right around the corner. U know, cause my mind and heart are already there! I"m too excited for what is on my plate soon. Got some GREAT weddings lining up for 2012...already...and each all so unique. :) I will take them all on with my whole heart and embrace ALL challenges!!!! I cannot wait.

One of my favorite Groom pictures this year....

2011-12-15T23:58:00.000-06:00

I don't know if I shared this....but I'm sharing again...if I already did. LOL :) This picture makes me laugh, a LOT! When shootings weddings we do try to get as much done "before" as possible...you know...getting ready...tying ties...all that fun detail stuff that the bride & groom want.... We kinda went all out this time....Mark was SO funny, he actually crawled back in bed with his covers up

the best THANK YOU!!!!!

2011-12-12T16:54:00.001-06:00

Rec'd from the Wednesday's Child office!!!! :) In which I did the photo sessions with Santa!!!! Friends, Thank you for coming out and celebrating the holiday with Friends of Wednesday’s Child and North Texas foster children on Saturday. You guys were amazing! I can hardly believe we had 174 youth here on Saturday in our offices. The kids loved their hot chocolate, making crafts,

Nature.

2011-12-10T01:07:00.001-06:00

I was in the mood to create some nature-y types of art for Kellie & Jason. I did several versions, but decided to post this one. I just loved the idea of the branches surrounding them. I also played with a "globe" type feel, with a spherized effect. (in their album) Art is a process....and so, it evolves. :) But, tonite...I leave you with this one! peace.

Corsicana Teasers!

2011-12-06T17:32:00.000-06:00

We did a drive into Corsicana to shoot their wedding last Saturday... it was raining...most of the way in.........and of course, night-time settles in by 530pm. :) Here are some fun teasers I scooped up so far!!!! Supreme night-time flash shot - you can see the rain sprinkles reflecting off my lens! lol :

ONE KEY TO SUCCESS: get surrounded by inspiring folks to better yourself - and then put it into action for yourself. Get a coach. Get an accountability partner. Get a friend willing to keep it real and tell the truth. THIS is breakthrough. The physical is only ONE part of you. :) My life is different and my perspective is enhanced - because of the people I surround myself with. I surround

Night-time last weekend's wedding :) <3

Another season comes to a close....

2011-06-07T13:44:00.000-05:00

For me personally.... seasons do seem to run in 9 month time slots. Almost 9 months ago I started my first round of p90x - and while on this journey I had been battling a lot of internal battles...bad habits had been formed...some friendships had to be re-evaluated. I can safely say I'm through the muck & mire...and into a happier place. I'm still tempted from time to time to think about

this is my May bride Crystal! - she speaks a language most can't hear but can see....her wedding had a LOT of love in it...and a LOT of hearing impaired - so there was a common language spoken everywhere: Sign Language...but most of all, the language of LOVE. :) Congrats to crystal and kevin!!!!

Pearls & Feathers.

2011-05-27T22:39:00.000-05:00

So the wedding i'm shooting tomorrow is going to be delicously decorated. I actually am looking forward to the fun details this bride & groom have in store for us! She did mention feathers and pearls...and while i was thinking about what i wanted to WEAR....i had an idea pop in... Letz go into my closet and look for something inspired by this!

It is time to believe.

2011-05-25T11:50:00.000-05:00

I've had such a hard time believing recently that God has his best for me...mostly cause of how quiet it has been...and how so much silence has seemed to overtake me. I tend to find words to encourage me just when I need them.....in taking the time to be still...and really embrace the silence & stillness - is hard for me. I know I need it, but I most of time am running from it or trying to

It is decidedly so.

This year is turning very interesting so far. I wish I could share more...but i'm afraid i'm too tired tonite. :) I'm really inspired by Lady Gaga right now....and i think i heard her new song today...Edge of Glory...man, that title speaks to me automatically. God is always talking to me and pulling on my senses. I sometimes wish i knew more...and sometimes wish i understood what is coming. I

I recently just went on vacation...our yearly, in fact. We wait all year to take this trip...and it is just a restful unplugged from technology time for us! I had a blast this time...nothing but vegetation on the beach or in the pool. Never-ending food for all-inclusiveness. A few self-timered portraits on the beach...and just some overall fun.... The thing about sunsets in mexico...they are

Today was just ONE of those days......... you know? I was tired...and was tired all day. It seemed like most of us were dealing with SOMETHING today. Our days didn't go as we had planned. The weather changed MID-traveling. Plans kinda just went along...........and minute by minute. So, we ended up in Paradise.... and this is what we captured today. a lovely mother-to-be...only barely pregnant,

I love seeing everyone connect in so many ways...and how we all

I know that everyone that worked and VOLUNTEERED their time/passions for this festival - you inspire me...and I hope you get some REST after the long hours you put in. You are precious. :) You give me hope as an artist to be around others and learn & grow and love. If you took pictures with me down in DE, you can see them here!

"It is time"...

2011-04-02T00:50:00.000-05:00

You know I still haven't written about my experiences at last week's conference...but what I can tell you is the pieces I picked up....was about "REIGNING" in my domain. We have all been given a sphere...and help accountable for that purpose we have been given here on earth. I didn't catch it all, but those words definitely stuck with me. What I've been given charge over, I want to embrace. :)

I know one's happiness and joy shouldn't be based solely on awesome things happening.... but today has started to be a GREAT DAY. I setup a quick shoot with Maria...and was pleased that she was ready to work when I got there.....and I had brought in a dress that fit her PERFECT. I was amazed! I'm trying more new things...and trying to play with lighting....we didn't get to take a trip to any

Rest........

2011-03-17T18:13:00.000-05:00

I love when I stop to rest...because it means....a great time to myself...to hear the world around me....to not be superly consumed with everything....to do my laundry...(yay!)....to have my own adventure and see a person I hadn't seen in a year....(or more)....to know that this entire day is just for me....and that I need to clean out my car...so that I can have a full day of shooting tomorrow.

Life's challenges!

2011-03-13T05:41:00.001-05:00

I'm thankful for challenges...but sometimes the emotional roller coaster ride that I take gets me on highs and lows when working....I get so many creative highs...then can plunge into lows of questions and doubts. That is what I do love about life though. To pretend you have it all together, is pretty false. I am happy to say I'm never perfect...only trying my best! I'm excited to share a

2011-03-04T18:39:00.000-06:00

I LOVE shooting weddings! Ok, see, I walk into so many challenges....LIGHTING challenges...but more often than not...my challenge is also working in cramped spaces! Can you see the lovely shot I have here??? I'm so in love with this photo - because it shows what a great time I'm having. I'm very animated and work very quickly sometimes. Sometimes, I'm so sneaky - you are like WHAT? we are done

Some of the fun from the weekend!

2011-03-02T19:42:00.000-06:00

A natural moment..... A moment of wheelage... One of the lovely models of the day.... A perspective....

Art is an ever-evolving journey....

2011-02-25T23:03:00.001-06:00

When I start creating...sometimes I start in one place...and end up at another ....much like walking a path....I work through what looks good, feels good.... my "gaga" inspired images....turned into an art piece.... trying something....and all that was left was ONE face. painting color...................... I don't know...I just move through things...as fluid as possible...to reach

The moment arrived for Jason & Carlisa....Saturday........... I wanted to share quickly a moment I found wonderful.... a wonderful surprise tribute to the Grandparents that were not there in person...but in spirit...a wonderful tribute both in words and visuals....I captured a couple of moments to share a part of that with you. A moment between father and daughter...while watching the

I've had sooooooooooo many doubts over the past months.... and with good reason - because my instincts are usually in tune with how it works here on earth, v. how God works...if i had set my sights continually on how God functions, i would see that is he is always on time with what he does. I was thinking today about how my life has come to this place... the choices i made...the directions i

I hope to get to share something about the next 2 events I get to do...I'll probably write about them, since I might not get to use any of the pictures because of

My photography and life go hand in hand.... be it with my point & shoot...or with my DSLR.... This was part of my weekend! A view of part of downtown Fort Worth - through the window! :) Late Nite Makeup - with GAGA inspired shoot. We had some fun, INDEED! The birthday girl! Happy Birthday! LOVE YOU! AND, because we listened to the top 40 station ALL NITE.....we heard this song at
