Micah’s Senior session in Deep Ellum

Meet Micah! She’s a Senior at Mansfield Lake Ridge High school. She will be attending Blinn College where she is majoring in Kinesiology. She wants to be a Pediatric Physical Therapist with Children who have special needs.

We shot down in Deep Ellum and her parents joined us as well as their 16 year old family dog. Dad is a Dallas police officer and mom is the Co-Owner/President at 2 Sweets Candy Buffet and Event Designers.

It sure was a nice day for sessions, Deep Ellum is the perfect place to find so many different backgrounds and colorful walls. I have been shooting down there for over 10 years. We had a great time and Micah sure was beautiful, a real natural!

Here are some of my favorites!

 

Alyson’s maternity session at The Lumen Room

Alyson and her husband are expecting their 2nd child.

I photographed their sweet family back in 2015 and now they are expecting another baby. We shot at The Lumen Room in Dallas and the pink and white maternity gowns were rentals through Jayme King.

These are just some of the beautiful shots from today.

The Avelar family at the Arboretum

I love repeat clients!

I photographed the Avelar family in 2015 when their oldest was just a baby. This time when mom contacted me about a new session it was for her youngest 1st birthday! I was thrilled to hear there was a new addition to their family. Unfortunately due to this crazy April weather and constant rain we had to keep rescheduling but we finally got the session done.

The girls were dressed exactly alike, shoes and all, so adorable!

Venue – Dallas Arboretum

Brittney’s maternity session at The Lumen Room

I received a text on February 28th at 11:06am that said:

“Hi Brandi!!!! It’s Brittney Craig. So, you shot Brandon’s and my engagement, my bridals and our wedding in 2015….you know what time it is now?”

Well ofcourse I responded with OMG OMG OMG OMG! BABY!!!!!!!!!

She sends the announcement and the sonogram!!! I was in tears! So we talked about the session and what she planned to do.  They are due July 9th and having a girl. She wanted these to be special because Brandon unfortunately got deployed with his Army brigade and is serving overseas in Djibouti, Africa. She has not seen him since Christmas and he won’t be back until November 🙁

I wanted this to be extra special so I contacted The Lumen Room and reserved their studio then we rented a gorgeous blue maternity dress through Jayme King. Brittney brought a few items of his to incorporate into the shoot and it was simply perfect. She wanted me to wait until he saw the photos before posting the blog, she said he absolutely loved them.

Next time, family photos! 🙂

Timothy & Shelby’s wedding previews 4-18-2017

Timothy & Shelby’s love story is one you would need to sit down with his brother and hear. It is like right out of a fairy tale and his brother is the reason they met and fell in love.

Timothy is in the United States Army and there are times they do not see each other for long periods of time. Their story is only beginning, I wish them nothing but happiness and a beautiful, wonderful life together as husband and wife.

The ceremony & reception took place at 1899 Farmhouse, Wedding & Event Venue. The colors were breathtaking and the floral were to die for!

Craig & Annie – 4/15/2017

Annie & Craig got married at Midway Baptist Church in Pilot Point, TX with reception to follow out at her parents home. They had 15 bridesmaids, 9 groomsmen and 3 flower girls with the most gorgeous choice of colors I have seen!

I have come to love and adore this precious family as I have shot 2 of her brothers engagements and weddings and her other brothers maternity and newborn photos. She was the last of the kids to get married. Her daddy was the one to marry them which made it even more special.

I love their story, girl from Texas meets and falls in love with boy from New York, who would have thought?

Here are just some of the images from that very special day, it was beautiful and so very special in every way.
