Sarah and Christopher are sooo super sweet and beautiful together!! I had soooo much fun at their engagement session, which was at the Texas State Fair!! SO FUN!! I love all the colors and all the different areas for awesome photos!!! Since we were doing the session on a Saturday! Which is probably the busiest day of the week, we decided to get there right when the grounds open! Smart on our behave because we did not have to fight anyone for perfect spots! We just enjoyed and had a blast! Sarah and Christopher are getting married next year and I can’t not wait for the wedding!!!! Here are a few photos of their AMAZING session!! xoxo

Veronica and Chris In Love

Valerie — Mon, 18 Apr 2011 02:01:22 +0000

I had such a wonderful time with Veronica and Chris! These too are soooo sweet! I love when I see two people in love but to feel it….wow! We decided that Brookhaven College would be a fun outdoor spot for their portraits. It’s so beautiful and green, which I LOVE!!! I’ve actually been jogging here for years and every time I go, I always tell myself “man this would be a awesome spot to shoot”. Veronica and Chris loved the idea so we went and had a blast!! Thanks you two! I hope you love your beautiful photos!!! xoxo

Diane and Chad’s Sweet Engagements

Valerie — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 02:55:41 +0000

From the minute I meet Diane I could not wait for their engagement session and wedding! Diane thought that since they have so many memories at The Shops at Legacy that it would be perfect spot to take their engagement portraits! On their first date Chad took Diane to Nicola’s. We were able to snap a few fun photos there too Also, across the street from Nicola’s is Sambuca where Chad proposed to Diane infront of family and friends! xoxo These two are soooo in love!! We all had such a great time walking around, talking, laughing, and taking some fun photos I can not wait for the wedding….I know it’s going to be amazing! xoxo

Sambuca is where Chad proposed to Diane in front of family and friends!! soooo sweet!! xoxo

And here at Nicola’s is where Diane and Chad shared their first date! this is the table they sat at too!! how awesome is that!! loooove it!!

Paul Popped the Question and Paige said YES!! xoxo

I was thrilled when Paul called me about his special surprise proposal portrait session!! He had eveything planned out perfectly!! He told Paige that for Christmas he got them a portrait session that she had been wanting them to do. After just a few photos he was going to pop the question!! WOW!! I loooved the idea! The whole point was to totally surpirse her and capture it ALL. All the true emotions, true reation, and true LOVE!! Paul decided on the Lakeside Park in Dallas. There are adorable teddy bear statues that he wanted to ask her while she sat on one of the bears! TOO CUTE!! We sat her down without her knowing anything Paul took over! I had it easy….I just kept shooting (while getting teary eyed!) ………just have to see the photos for her reaction! It was GREATNESS!!! I felt so blessed to be apart of such a amazing moment that Paul and Paige will NEVER forget (in memory and photos). The funny thing about it is that Paul took Paige on a “let’s go look at rings to see what you like” (to throw her off)that morning (even though he had the ring for TWO months) and she picked out the exact ring he already had for her!! It was PERFECT!! Thank you Paul for inviting me……I’m so happy for you both! Congrats!! xoxo

Grace and Richard in LOVE!! xoxo
