Ashley :: Dallas Portrait Photographer

Burr pricklies, gravel swamps, Dallas police, and random homeless visitors...I must say this portrait session was quite the exciting experience!

Meet Ashley...beautiful, giggley, bubbly, and an amazing set of baby blues!

Ashley is a dear friend, who sadly hasn't had her photos taken since she was a senior in high school.  Blasphemy, I tell you!!  Everyone should treat themselves to an few hours of modeling, a chance to rock their inner beauty, and engross themselves in a little fun! 


We had such a blast at this session...interesting, but a total blast!  Location#1 didn't work out so well...WAYYYY too much light...so off we go to Location#2. 

I love Location#2, but this is where the interestingness began.  Meet my first love-hate relationship of the day...the sinking sand a'la gravel mound...yes I came up with that very techinical name all by myself!
This gravel mound provided the perfect compliment of texture and simplicity to the rocking graffiti background.  I love it...that is, until it started swallowing up my shoes with every step I took.  Miss Ashley was a total trooper though, balancing, sinking, and sliding all over the place.  It was quite comical!

Now, we won't talk much about my second love-hate relationship of the day.  Well not really love-hate, really just a hate relationship!  Hidden burr pricklies...need I say more?!  Ouch!!!!

So, capturing the sweet and fun loving soul of Ashley was easy...it was bringing out her inner diva that took some prying...
I'd say she rocked it...Roar!
 
Off to Location#3, 4, 5, 6, all awesome backdrops for Miss Ashley!  She is just a dream!   Ashley, you're an awesome friend and I thank you for just being you!

Mr. & Mrs. Jeremy W :: Frisco Wedding Photographer

I simply love detailed ring shots! 

Throughout the engagement, bride-to-be's have the pleasure of showing off their bling to the world.  I love the excitment that comes across their face when asked about their upcoming nuptials, but the conversation always seems to start with the same thing, "Ohhh let me see the ring!".  Rarely do you meet a bride who isn't thrilled to flash it around, and in my opinion, go for it!! 
And then bam, you're married, and there are so many other aspects that draw the attention away from the ring.  Well, not from my lens!  I absolutely love capturing detailed ring shots, always trying to incorporate your sense of invidualism into the shots. 

So, take the rings of the new Mr. & Mrs. Jeremy W, stunning!  Jeremy and Annagrey, a talented muscian who's even appeared on the Oprah show, encorporated touches of music all around their sweet, intimate wedding.  I just couldn't help myself...I love it! 

It's just a sneak peek...Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Jeremy W!
