I was waiting for the perfect time to post these awesome engagement portraits of Sharisse and Preston! If you have followed my blog you can see a bit of a difference here! I decided that a fresh new look was needed!!! I LOVE it!! and I hope everyone else does too!! Thank you Celina Gomez for helping me! I could not have done it without you!!! LOVE YA!!!

The minute I meet Sharisse I knew we were a perfect fit! She is sooooo sweet, down to earth, and I was too excited to get working with her! Sharisse knew exactly where she wanted to go! We first visited Deep Ellum and then headed to Victory Park for some amazing photos! Sharisse and Preston were TOO CUTE together!! I love when my couples get lost in themselves and forget that they are taking photos! BEST KIND..and MY FAVORITE KIND!!! I did not have to ask them twice to kiss or hold each other because they were already doing it! lol… I am looking forward to the wedding which is this Saturday June 25th! I can’t wait to see Sharisse in her dress and Preston looking sharp!! :)))))

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

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

Heather & Adam Snow Love

Valerie — Sun, 06 Feb 2011 04:12:45 +0000

It’s not every day that it snows it Texas. On a average we may get snow one or two days out of the year, I mean it’s Texas! We are use to hot hot 100 degree weather. On February 4th the clouds closed off the sun and 6-8 inches of snow fell from the sky!! It was a beautiful winter wonderland…..a gorgeous blanket of snow! There was no way I was going to miss taking fun photos in the snow!! I was so exicted when my sister, Heather agreed! I texted her at 1am and said “WE are doing this!!” lol….she was still up and outside with my parents playing in the snow as it came down. As soon as Adam, Heathers wonderful boyfriend got off work we were heading to the park!! Heather and Adam are sooo fun together and are huge goof balls!! There was no way I could not get a good fun shot!! We were only able to to take 30 min before we could no longer feel our feet or hands…LOL!! but we left with some awesome images!!!! I love them…..so beautiful and FUN!!!! Hope you love them sis Heather and her man, Adam!! lol….I had a blast! xoxo

Grace and Richard in LOVE!! xoxo
