Sarah - Class of 2014 {North Texas Senior Photographer}

Hi SP Friends...

Boy has it been a while since I posted a blog.  Time flies when you are busy, busy, busy.  I can't believe I went all of October without a single blog post.  Boo!!  Anyways, I hope to be doing much better as I round out 2013 and start up 2014 with sharing on the blog.  Can you believe we are nearing the end of 2013?!  Already!!  Where did this year go?  I swear the older that I get, the faster that time trucks along. lol!

Today I am excited to share my daughter's Senior Photo Shoot.  She will be graduating from Howard Payne University in May 2014 with her Early Childhood Education Degree.  We are all super proud of her and all of her hard work and look forward to watching her on her new journey as a school teacher next year.   Since her momma is a photographer we have had a fun time planning her photo shoot and let me tell you we had a day planned.  In fact, we had so much fun we finally just got wiped out from all of awesome fun ideas lol!  But, I must say we have some beautiful images to cherish for a lifetime and for that I am very thankful.  We will be doing a couple of more photo shoots before May so we can capture some fun places that she likes to hang out around school, capture her school campus and of course get those cap & gown photos.  So stay tuned my friends and follow our celebration along the way.

This photo shoot was taken in our neck of the woods, where Sarah grew up, in the good ole' country with beautiful sunlight.  Enjoy!  Here are a few of my favorites.   WARNING!  there may be a BUNCH of photos, that's the beauty of being the photographer lol.























Thank you Sarah for being who you are.  We look forward to seeing what the Lord does in your life as your future career begins.  Love you so much!

If these walls... {Venus, Texas Portrait Photographer}

Hi SP Friends...

Happy 4th of July!  I hope you each have a wonderful day filled with fun, laughter and good times with your friends & family.  We are truly blessed to live in the land of FREE and I am so thankful for the life that I have and for all the men and women who sacrafice so much for me to live FREE.  Thank YOU to all of you who serve our great nation.

Today I thought I would share  few of our old barn and house photos that my hubby and I have taken.  This is a project that we work on from time to time just for fun, because we love these old structures that once had life and are just sitting in a beautiful country field.   We often wonder about the life that was lived there and the family that shared so many memories in these old barns and/or homes; which always leads us to think about the stories these walls could tell if they could talk.  Such heritage and history just sitting there.   It's amazing to be able to capture them before they are destroyed and to create a beautiful piece of art out of them.

Hope you enjoy them as much as we do...























Have a wonderful and safe day celebrating!

Happy Birthday to me...

Hello SP Friends...

Last week my hubby and I celebrated our birthday!  Yep!!  You got it... we celebrate the same birthday!!  So, if you know me you know that I have been looking for a fabulous new addition to the studio in the form of a old truck or car that I can use for photo shoots.  We are always on the look out and well my fabulous hubby surprised me with a 1948 Plymouth (all rusty with glass broken) which is totally what I have been wanting.  Whew!!  he DID GOOD!!!

As my car was being delivered I grabed my camera and headed outside to watch it land to it's new resting place at the studio.  Here are just a few of my favorite shots...



The front and side view of the car



The car arriving to the studio and my hubby working to get it removed from the trailer and onto the ground.



just a few of the details...The dash board, the engine, and the trunk.    I simply LOVE IT!!  Thank you honey!!!  I can't wait to use this in a photo shoot :)

We can tell that the plymouth was blue back in it's prime, some of that original color still shows through on the inside of the car.   We have all the original hub caps and the first project is going to get some tires for the car and get those hub caps in place.  I don't plan on doing to much to the old beauty, as I totally love the rust and character that this old car has as it is.

Have a fabulous Labor Day weekend :)

Happy Happy Birthday!

Oh my goodness, where does the time go?!!  Today is the day...my Son "Bradley Miles" turns  "23".   I can't believe how quickly time really does pass by, but luckily I have many photos and scrapbooks to help me relive the journey.

I am excited that tomorrow we wil be having a fun Birthday Cookout to celebrate Brad's day.  We are so so proud of him and so blessed to be his parents.  It has been and is a continued joy to watch him grow into a wonderful man.  Brad loves to have fun, hang out with his friends, he LOVES adventure and Loves, Loves, Loves his Music.  Brad is a singer/song writter and has a true gift and talent.  I love to hear him sing, and to hear what he is working on, it's part of who he his and it just comes out so naturally.  You can check him out on YouTube at Bradley Miles Band.

Today I thought in honor of Brad's special day I would share a few photos throughout the years, so here it goes...

#1...  Photos of Brad as a baby and a few early childhood snapshots (do you see the Music theme going on here?!)  *Some of his first Guitars



 

#2... Graduation, recording in the studio, prom, and a new truck



 

#3... Some of our music photo shoots throughout the years and one of him doing what he loves...Performing



 

#4... These are more current photos for Bradley Miles that I simply love.   Isn't he a cutie pie :)

 



 



Brad we are all so proud of you and are thankful for having you in our lives.  Thank you for being who you are.  Have a wonderfully blessed Birthday and treasure each and every moment.

Love you bunches and bunches!!
