Jessica's expecting.

Meet Jessica.

I have had the absolute pleasure of knowing this girl since we were 11. When she called me earlier this year to tell me she was pregnant, I was at work and started crying because I was so excited for her.

Jessica and Brett are a hilarious couple. Jess kept joking about all of the practice she is getting of being a mom on Brett. And with this expression on his face, I think you understand what she means. He is one of the biggest goofballs I have ever met.

Jess has 6 more weeks! I can't wait to meet her son!

Eboni & Shawn - Married 4th of July

Back to Lara & Seth

There is something so contagious about Lara's laugh and smile. I definitely enjoyed editing these shots.

Meet the Bride - Eboni

The Bride Eboni

I bet you thought you were going to get a photo of Eboni in her wedding dress. Well, HA! She isn't getting married until July 4, so you'll just have to wait. But, check out that BLING!

The Bride - Melissa Alban (formerly known as "Gun it, Gunnels")

I'm currently at work, but felt it was necessary to go ahead and post one of my favorites of Melissa that I took back in March. She and Johnny just got married this past weekend and Melissa was a stunning bride!

Oh, Texas, I miss you.

Meet Lara and Seth

I experienced a weekend of love a few days ago. My love for Texas, my good friends Ali and Nick's love for each other, and Lara and Seth's love.

In between all of the Nixon wedding festivities, I took some time to meet my old friend Lara and her fiance to photograph their engagements. Lara and I go back to the days of walking the halls of good ol' Garland High School and she made me promise I would photograph her one day. Well, Lara, here it is and I am so happy you remembered me :)

And, Lara, you found a fun and outgoing guy! I couldn't be happier for you!

There will be more coming...(and for those of you dancing around waiting for some photos from Ali and Nick's wedding, I've posted some on flickr)

Frankie says RELAX

Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong decade. Oh well, at least I can relive some decades without the added embarrassment that I actually WORE those clothes :) I give you, The Spazmatics.

I couldn't help but WANT to photography Bjorn - he was just so animated!

Obsession.

I have a very obsessive personality. Once I become interested in something, I suck everything I can out of it. So, I will introduce my new obsession: Converse shoes.

Logo ideas.

How's this for a logo? Discuss.

Christmas Memories

There were two things that I told my family I wanted needed: a new flash (I've mourned the theft of my SB-25 for long enough) and the Vanity Fair Portraits book. I have been coveting this book since I found out about its publication. I have been trying to figure out how to get to one of the exhibits - first, attempting to stop in Edinburgh when I was in Europe this summer and now, trying to scrape together money to head out to LA for a weekend. But, alas, I have the book with some of the most famous photographs embraced between the two covers. Now, chances are some people won't care when they read this. But, I know one person will. And, my dear Carli, I will share my new acquisition with you as you shared your Annie Lebovitz book with me :)

Happy New Year's to all!

Andrew Thomas & The Believers

I will be uploading more onto my flickr site.

Sneak Peek: Andrew Thomas and The Believers

Travelled out to Fort Worth tonight to see my old buddy, Russell Jack, and his band, The Believers. They were awesome and you should fall in love with them, as I am.

Farewell Texas Stadium

Went out with my old photo friend, Sarah Lim, to photograph around Dallas. Mainly, I really wanted to get some shots of Texas Stadium. We didn't get much accomplished before getting kicked off the premises...Hey, at least we didn't steal a part of the stadium!

A day in the life.

Well, it has been almost 2 months since I took stand for my passion. And how many posts of my photographs have you seen since? Yeah, I need to get going [and get inspired]. So, because I have nothing else to do yet, I introduce you to: my house.

The piano I grew up playing. Definitely getting older [like me].

So, once upon a time my mom and I were terrified of snakes. Then, we spent a weekend at the Rattlesnake Roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Now, my mom owns a stuffed rattlesnake.

He guards her computer.

My wicked awesome stocking.
