Vanessa + Adam

Adam was the noisy neighbor who lived next door, and Vanessa and her roommate finally decided to confront the party boys. Adam tried to apologize with brownies, but Vanessa and her friend decided they might be poisoned... so they decided to throw them away. Haha yes, this is how these two lovebirds met. Such a fun story.

Their wedding is in August and I can't wait!

Tabitha + Andy - Wedding

It was a cloudy day. And rainy. I mean like POURING cats and dogs and flooding main street kind of rainy. But when we got out to Cain's Cove, where Tabitha and Andy were getting married, the people out there had said not a drop of rain touched that place. And then as the wedding ceremony went on, the sun started shining and we had the most beautiful evening! It always seems to work out that way.

Anyhow, I was honored to shoot our good friend's wedding, and it was the first time I've ever shot a wedding with my husband as one of the groomsmen, so that was fun :)

Erica + Ron - Wedding

This entire day was perfect. Ron kept saying, "I'm just waiting for something to go wrong!" But nothing ever did. I think the intense love from Erica and Ron to friends and family might have fought off every negative vibe, if there ever was one.

And another thing I love about these two is that they are free spirited and consider everyone a friend. About 20 minutes after they drove off in their getaway car, I get a text from Erica saying, "come hang out at IHOP!" I totally did, and I just loved walking in, seeing these newlyweds sporting their wedding garb in the awesome blue booths at IHOP. So much fun... Anyhow, here's a walk through their wedding day!











one of the greatest mother/daughters shot everrrr








Pawpaw snuck in a kiss during Erica's dad's prayer... and yes I was most definitely choked up at this point.






a sweet first dance...


partayyyy


and the exit... the guests made paper airplanes :) I love it!

Tabitha + Andy - Sneak Peek!

I survived the two-wedding weekend! SO much fun! More to come on this one, but for now...

Just one for now...

I will most definitely write a ton more on these two on my next post... But for now, this is what I have to offer :)

Erica + Ron - Rehearsal

Today will be a fun day. The rehearsal last night was full of laughter and smiles and jokes made left and right. I just love it!

Here a few photos from the rehearsal.





she just couldn't wait :)

Ashley

Ever heard of The Bachelor?

That's a silly question... Of COURSE you've heard of The Bachelor. And this pretty lady is in the runnings to be ON The Bachelor. Cool, huh?

She's got it made, with her spunky, fun-loving, GORGEOUS self.

Lucy

"Are you a queen or somethin'?"

Yep, that's the kind of reaction Lucy got in Lubbock today. And then I loved her older sister's response... "Don't let that one go to your head." Haha.

Anyhow, it was a perfect morning for our senior session, and I think this one might be one of the last ones for 2009 seniors! Don't be afraid to start booking, 2010 seniors :)

Hannah & Audrey

Hannah is graduating from High School and her sister, Audrey, is graduating from Kindergarten... how fun is that!

These two are some sweet sisters and you can tell how much Audrey looks up to Hannah, and how much Hannah adores her little sister. Such a special friendship.

Tara + Brad - Wedding

Tara and Brad... where to even begin! Well, you can begin at their engagement session if you want to :)

These two are great friends of ours and it has been SO much fun getting to know them better as they fell more and more in love with each other.

Their wedding day unfolded perfectly and there was so much LOVE up in that place! It was an awesome thing to be a part of, that's for sure.

I'm about to post a lot of photos.

The guys started their day off with a straight blade shave at a fun barbershop in Lubbock. SO COOL!!


And the chicas had a sweet bridal luncheon


Some getting ready shots...












Probably one of my most favorite jumping pictures of all time...






















:)

Tara + Brad - Rehearsal

I know, I know. Two posts in one day just might be a little crazy. But I just get excited, is all.

Tara and Brad are getting married tomorrow at The Legacy in Lubbock, and I can already tell... the day is going to be a blast! Here are some photos to start the fun...

The lovely couple


The precious flower girl


A sweet moment between Tara and her dad




The bell ringers :)


Something good must have just happened




Making sure things are lookin' good from the back

Hannah

Hannah is my kinda girl... She insisted that she go barefoot almost every place we took pictures - LOVE IT!

This laid back chica is gorgeous and her eyes will shoot right through you, so watch out!

Ross

Two senior guys in a row - can you believe it?!

We've got another Red Raider on our hands, and I'm not sure if Tech is ready for this one! I enjoyed spending an afternoon with Ross and his sweet mama, and the weather was goooorgeous!

Here are some favs.

Wade

We were both a bit skeptical going into our session, considering what happened at our last attempt. But, of course, it ended up being a perfect day for a lovely session!

So here he is, folks - a future Red Raider!

Libby

All the way from Pampa, TX, this precious, sporty and full of life senior came to Lubbock... and it wasn't even THAT windy!!

Libby is going to play volleyball in college in good ol Tyler, Texas. What's up with all these volleyball superstars I've been photographing lately?!

Meet Deuce.

First off, my husband is the BEST!!! He has planned this surprise for who knows how long, and it finally happened over the weekend. He drove me all the way to Groveton, TX (about 10 hours away from Lubbock), and while at first I was convinced we might come home with a puppy, Jordan had told me enough lies to where I thought we were going to a little bed and breakfast.

Well, here I am blindfolded, the door opens, and a little ball of fluff was dropped into my hands! YESSS!!!!

After about an hour of playing with eight of the cutest puppies I've ever seen, we found our match.

And after about three hours of riding back to Lubbock, we decided on a name.

Huckleberry Augustus McLovin II. AKA Deuce.

Blog world, meet Deuce (he's a labradoodle, by the way).







We got him from Nine Pines, and they are absolutely wonderful there!
