Kim and Jacob - Engagement - Trinity Park Fort Worth

Kim has a pair of the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, and not to sound cheesy (wait, yes, I do mean to sound cheesy) but they sparkle even more when she's looking at Jacob. Swoon. This couple matches each other perfectly, right down to the outfits that the ever so stylish Kim put together. We had a blast during their session and our only regret is that the mama duck and her paddling of babies (so cute) didn't cooperate. We'd LOVE to shoot Kim and Jacob's wedding, but alas, they are getting married in the Bahamas. Um, take us with you, please?

Tiffany & Alex - Grapevine Mini-Series

Making Tiffany and Alex smile and laugh naturally was easy. I just said, Alex, do something stupid to make Tiffany laugh and there you have it! The best of friends make for the best of pictures and we couldn't be more thrilled to know these two people, personally.

Bethany and Kyle Engagement Session - Fort Worth Photography

Seeing the way Kyle would brush Bethany's hair out of her face on the day of our shoot together told me that these two were definitely going to be together forever. That, and the way they looked at each other and smiled and giggled in between shots. They are going to have a small, intimate wedding that we have the pleasure of shooting as well, and we're looking forward to it. In the mean time, enjoy...

Silly Bella

There's really not much to say about Bella because her personality shines through each and every picture we snapped up of her at the Gardens last weekend. Truly a free spirited and happy girl, she's sure to make to smile. She's infectious that way.

Special Somethings...

Every once in a while we come across something we love. And let me tell you, we love loving things. One of these things is Kiku Handmade which is a one woman show out of her basement in the outskirts of Chicago. She makes deliciously wonderful fused glass items, such as jewelry, plates, and belt buckles.

Looking for that perfect accessory for your groomsmen? I'm sure many don't even think beyond the boutonniere. How about these amazing cuff links?

Still looking for a gift for your bridesmaids? How about this beauty?

You can find many more cuff links and necklaces at her website Kiku Handmade. She also has an Etsy shop. Best of all, she can even create custom items and all you have to do is ask her nicely.

Grapevine Botanical Gardens - Green Kite Photography

This Sunday couldn't have been more perfect. After my little sidekick and I booked a new wedding client in the morning, we got to shoot with a bevy of wonderful people in the afternoon! The sun was shining, and OH was the wind blowing, but Spring was definitely in the air. We decided that there was just too much goodness not to do individual posts over the next few days, so here's a big CHEERS! to Spring and the start of the Grapevine Botanical Gardens Mini-Sessions Mini-Series of blogs. After you're through soaking up the smiles, go outside and soak up some of that sunshine... it's still out there!

Brand New

To say that we begged Angela to let us shoot her new son would be an understatement. We groveled at her feet. We showed up on her doorstep and said "let us in" (quietly of course, there was a newborn inside). Once you see these pictures, you'll know why. If you breathe in really deeply, you might even be able to smell that wonderful smell of new life.
