trey + katie • engagement

We all knew when Trey brought Katie to Christmas last year that it was the real deal. :) Sure enough, (and lucky for us) they are engaged this December! 

It was so much fun shooting my cousin's engagement session- and I could not be more excited for him and Katie. It is always extra special when I get to photograph my own family's big life events. These two went on their first real date at Yellow House Coffee, so we started out there. I was soaking up every bit of the gorgeous golden sunset for their shoot. Thank you guys for enduring that cold wind for a little while with me!

tyler + maegan • engagement • amarillo, tx

I have known Tyler all my life- well, all his life, really- and I can't tell you how excited I am about his engagement to Maegan. Tyler is one of those people who I have hoped and prayed for an excellent, God-loving, fun, beautiful wife- and Maegan is all of those things and more. I was so excited to get to shoot their engagement session over Christmas. Shawn came along and got several of these shots as well. We had a great time hanging out with them and are so excited for their future! Congrats you guys! 

evan + winnie • engagement • lubbock, tx

I have been absent from my blog for a couple of weeks- not for lack of work, but for the overload of it! I am definitely not complaining, though- when you love your job, you don't mind! :) 

One of the reasons I love my job lately is getting to work with people like Evan and Winnie. These two are so easygoing, and trusted me with their engagement session. We had a beautiful evening to shoot in the West Texas fields, and I was eating up that golden light we only get this time of year. I had a great time with them, and I love the feeling of these images. Enjoy!

ted + jen • engagement • lubbock, tx

There is something about Ted and Jennifer that is just so easy, so comfortable. They are laid-back and happy together. It rained for days (literally) before this photoshoot and so we had this crazy, cool cloud cover that is typically nonexistent in Lubbock, Texas. This session was just the refresher I needed before busy season was upon me. Thanks, guys, for a great session!

lorenzo + valerie • engagement • lubbock, tx

Lorenzo and Valerie have a classic love story. They grew up in the same small town, knowing who each other was, but never being close. A few years after graduation, they ran into each other again- and this time was different. Everything fell into place, and they've been together ever since. They're getting married in beautiful Santa Fe in a few months, and I couldn't be happier for them! 

russell + jaclyn • engagement • lubbock, tx

Russell and Jaclyn met me at 9 am to shoot their engagement session one Saturday morning, and I am so thankful they did! We had some gorgeous weather and I totally enjoyed talking with them. It was a great reminder that God really orchestrates things in a way that we'd never be able to do. Marriage is such a gift. Finding each other is a gift. I'm so glad I get to photograph these two as they go from one step to the next. Thanks so much for an awesome shoot!

greg + kristy • engagement • lubbock, tx

Many of the couples I get to work with book me without ever actually having met me in person. That they would have confidence in me and my work so quickly is a total honor for me and makes me want to work all that much harder to make their photos absolutely perfect.

​The first time I met Kristy and Greg face-to-face was just last week, when I shot their engagement session. God gave us a beautiful day to run around Lubbock, and we had a fun time. I really can't wait for their wedding in the fall!

The longer I photographed Kristy, the more I thought she looked like Charlize Theron- do you see it? You are gorgeous, Kristy!​
