Snow White

I’ve spent the last couple weeks with woodland creatures

a very evil queen and her magic mirror

seven little men…one that sneezes a lot, one who is bashful, and one that is very grumpy

and a girl who’s lips are as red as blood and skin as white as snow

and we can’t forget Prince Charming

The Actor’s Conservatory in Lewisville is performing Snow White for one more weekend!  If you are in the DFW area I would come out and watch them.  It is a fantastic show!!!

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! {Dallas Editorial Photographer}

Dallas saw the 3rd snow storm of the winter….I think most of us are tired of it.  We got over a foot of snow in Frisco!

It is a little funny to live in a neighborhood with street names like “Coney Island”, “Coral”, and “Mast” with snow on them.

1st Comes Love: Brad & Shana {Denton, TX Wedding Photographer}

Remember LaShawn from the last post?  Meet Shana, her best friend since they were 4 years old.  Shana is marrying Brad in April… I CAN NOT WAIT TO PHOTOGRAPH THEIR WEDDING.  I am so glad I volunteered my services as a 2nd shooter invited myself to shoot with LaShawn.

I am not a very bossy person, well I can be during an engagement session….I demand couples to make out.  Come on you love each other.

Don’t you LOVE Shana’s blue jacket???  You will see it again when it plays the role as “something blue” in the wedding!  It is vintage and I plan on loosing 6 inches and 4 dress sizes and stealing it from her…

So what I’ve not told you is their sweet love story…and I’m not going to until I post wedding pictures!!!!

We Are Family: 2 adults + 4 boys {Denton Family Photographer}

A few months ago, I went to a Flower Mound tweet-up (hanging out with people from the FloMo area on twitter…in person). That night I met some great new friends…including LaShawn.  Anyone who starts gushing telling me they love my work…can be my friend! lol.  Seriously I think we have talked every day since. We call each other Evil Twin …sure neither one of us are evil….mischievous, yes…evil, no.

LaShawn and her boys (hubby+4 boys) moved into a new house, they needed new family pictures for the new walls! (this is a great way to celebrate a new house!)

Classic “Abby Road” moment….

LaShawn and I are a lot a like… we wear the same shoes, we own a lot of the same clothes, and we both have an addiction to our iphones. The silly girl thought she could give hers up for 6 months, after hers broke (okay it died a slow painful death)…that last 2 days…

I had a blast hanging out with you guys!  We will have to do it again on a day that is warmer than 41 degrees!
