Dallas child/teen session – Murals

It’s St Patrick’s Day and my girls are on Spring Break, they decided they didn’t want to leave town this year so we have been doing local fun stuff all week. Today I asked them if they would be my models and go drive around Dallas looking for cool murals to pose in front of.  They both chose a few outfits and we hit the road. My youngest wanted to try without her glasses, it was tough but we made it work <3 We didn’t get to finish because of the rain so we will do another shoot next weekend 🙂

I have shot in Deep Ellum for over 10 years and love the walls down there but I wanted to try and find something different for my future clients, boy did I find some amazing walls!! It took hours of driving and adding locations to my log of session addresses but so worth it. I even found some hidden between buildings and in garages. The girls loved it plus we found a cute little hamburger joint we stopped at for lunch 🙂

Here are some of my favorites!

Bat Mitzvah at the Dallas World Aquarium

The Dallas World Aquarium is always an exciting place to go visit, especially with kids! Have you ever thought about planning your next event there? Your child’s birthday? Sweet 16? Bat Mitzvah? Of course they also have gorgeous weddings too!

I am here to tell you it is an awesome experience! You begin with a tour through part of the aquarium then end up downstairs where you can have a buffet style meal and add in a DJ or band for your entertainment, it is seriously so much fun!

Here are some examples to show you just how much fun these kids AND adults had….need more info? Visit their website here: https://www.dwazoo.com/

Mykie & Samantha’s very unique LGBT wedding at the The Quixotic World

I have shot many sessions in Deep Ellum over the years from senior portraits to couples, Modeling, etc, and I always stop at this building because I love the red and black on the outside for my sessions. I have always wondered what they have done to the inside since the name change, back in the 90’s I would see bands play there.

I was so excited when I booked this LGBT wedding and on NYE!! (During the afternoon though), however, when my 2nd shooter and I arrived it was SNOWING!!!! We walked in from such a bright and freezing situation outside to a dark and almost Willie Wonka like scene inside, it was awesome! I was in photography heaven, some photographers may have walked in and been in panic mode because if you do not know how to shoot in low light and I mean almost dark, well then you are in trouble. I have years of experience so I was not worried, I was very excited!

Here are some of my favorites from the ceremony and reception, I absolutely love how this venue looks now and the creative touch the brides added. This venue holds all types of events, you really need to check them out. https://www.thequixoticworld.com/dallasweddingvenue/

Nelson family previews – Dallas Arboretum

Sweet little sibling session at the Dallas Arboretum. This brother and his sisters sure do love each other!

These are some of my favorites!

 

The Daniels family previews

There are so many times new clients come my way, they may find me on Facebook or through my website, word of mouth, etc. Most of the time I have no idea what they look like or their personalities, I simply arrive and we meet for the very first time and in that moment I must get to know them, make them feel comfortable and especially when working with kids who simply do not like their photo taken, I create an atmosphere of joy and laughter and in the end I get some of the best shots!

Here are some of my favorites.
