A Night of Fashion with Brenna & Erin {DFW Photography}

Catch-up!  Catch-up!  Catch-up!
I am so so so so so behind on blogging, posting, sharing, everything!  And now it's time to catch-up!  Let's start with snippets from a fun little fashion shoot that I was lucky enough to participate in with one of my photography friends.  This style definitely has my heart, and hoping that I'll be able to endulge more and more. 
Let's start by checking out the beautiful Erin...Rawr!!

And check out Brenna...her hair, eyes, body language...she's just simply stunning!  And did she ever make my job easy...a pure natural!  Wow!

Thank you so much to Brittany for connecting me with some brilliant photographers, light geniuses, beautiful models, and TO-DIE-FOR fashions!  I had an absolute blast and can not tell you how much this evening of informal photography meant to me!

Colors... {DFW photographer}

Hello Cattura land!!!  I'm back!  I'm revived, refreshed, and ready to get back to everything that I love most!!

While I was out of pocket, Jonathan and I had the luxury of taking a break from this brutal Texas summer and escape to the pure beauty of the Colorado mountains.  Not only were the temperatures far more pleasent (that's just a given!), but I must say absolutely STUNNING landscapes!  And the colors, everything was extra vibrant.  From the crystal blue lakes, fresh green tundra, stunning wildflowers, to even the simply worn walls painted around the quaint townsquares...everything was so rich and beautiful! 

(Photo courtesy of my trusty iPhone camera from our campsite just outside of Breckenridge, CO.  Even the iPhone camera helps show the vibrancy...I mean check out that sky!!)

Now compare that to our current Texas landscapes, where everything seems to be a bit muted...colors faded by the constant brutal sunlight.  I can barely even keep my flowers alive!  Oh well, beige or not, I absolutely love the great state of Texas!  Guess I'll just plan to spend my summers in Colorado in the future...but Texas, you will always have my heart!!  :)

Lexi is Graduating! {DFW HS Senior Photographer}

* Lexi *

Marcus High School Class of 2011!!

The senior year is such an exciting time, with your whole life, unwritten in front of you...but it can go by in a blink of an eye!  I always try to keep that in mind when styling the photo session to capture the precious moments of their high school years,  I had such a blast Miss Lexi, helping to bring out her inner diva!  With prom just around the corner, we just had to show off her AH-mazing prom gown.  Doesn't she look stunning?!!  Rhar!

Then came out the Homecoming dress...I simply love this girl's style!  I would love to sport either of these gowns to the grocery store even, though not nearly as good as she can.

And check out part of Lexi's entourage...her 8 week old Golden Doodle puppy, Bono. 

I love him!  I love him!  I love him!  I can't tell you how much I wanted to take him home with me.  I think Jonathan would even welcome a sixth pup to our little family!  Ahhh, he is just so stinking cute!  Sorry Lexi, Bono did steal your thunder for just a minute.  :)

This is another one of my favorites! 

I think it just screams little miss debutante, walking her pup through Central Park, being chased by the paparazzi, and all they could catch was this quick snippet.  I just love it!!

Lexi, thank you for such an awesome time!  You were absolutely amazing to photograph and I wish you all the success at Texas A&M...I know you will take over the world in no time!!  'Gig Em! (though secretly I want to tell you Boomer Sooner!)

Sabrina B is 6 months old! {Lewisville Baby Photographer}

Sabrina "the Fighter" is now 6 months old!! 

Miss Sabrina has gotten so big in just a few short months.  You may remember Sabrina's last portrait session within the NICU, where I had the honor of capturing this new family of 3's first family portrait session.  Well, I'm proud to say this tough little cookie is doing wonderfully, and growing into those beautiful baby blues!!  It was so fun to watch Sabrina's personality shine in the midst of her very own bedroom.  

 This little sweetheart is wrapped in so much love...mom, dad, and even Mr. Hooch, the family's Mastiff.  A dog lover myself, I couldn't help but engage Hooch in the portrait session,  Such a sweet face! And, I absolutely loved the fact that he was always within close proximity throughout Sabrina's whole session.  Hooch is definitely going to give all those boys a run for their money in the future!

I love watching this sweet angel grow into a beautiful baby!  I can't wait to see her in another few months.

Amber is 15! {Dallas Quinceanera Photographer}

Quinceanera:  Traditionally, a hispanic celebration of a girl's 15th birthday, marking her passage from childhood to adulthood.

 

Miss Amber is now 15, and what better way than to kick it all off with a rockin quinceanera?!  I meet lots of teens who strive to fit in with the crowd, including myself way back when!!  But, I just loved how she incorporated her invidualism into the whole event, starting with her dress.  I traditionally see big ballgown dresses, in a rainbow of colors, some with bling and all with tons of tuille.  Amber walked that traditional line, utilizing her favorite color purple, with the big hoop skirt, but I just loved the pop of zebra print she mixed in for flare.  I'm always a fan of the twist on the traditional, and this got 2 gold stars in my book!

Amber was a breeze to photograph!  Those freckles, those eyes, that smile, and that ATTITUDE!  Now don't misunderstand that word as negative.  I always appreciate when my subjects have attitude and aren't afraid to let it shine.  I think it allows them to demand the attention, work the camera, and not allow the camera to simply work them.  Muy importante!  Amber had it all!





Happy birthday Amber!!
