Blake + Erica- Wedding Featured in ALT Magazine {Texarkana}

I am beyond thrilled that Blake + Erica's breathtaking dreamy wedding is featured in August 2013 issue of ALT Magazine. Both Blake + Erica are both beautiful people inside and out. Although, I love the fact that my images were featured in the magazine, I know that it was because of how great they are and your loving votes for them that won the feature. Still pretty cool that my little ol' pictures would be in a magazine. That has always been one of my personal business goals. I was very honored to be a part of such a big time in their lives. There are also other beautiful Newlyweds, wonderful photographers and other vendors featured too!

ALT Magazine is always one of my favorite local reads. It also is a great resource for just about everything in the area. Whatcha waiting on? Go pick up your copy today!

Congrats to Blake + Erica! 


1 Corinthians 13:4–8a 
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

Lyla Marie {Newborn}

Beautiful little Lyla was 11 days old for her newborn session, and she is absolutely lovely! She has a beautiful complexion and perfectly pink rosebud lips… Something about a new baby just makes my heart swell with happiness. I especially love the images I captured with mama and daughter together!

Monday Mayhem!

I am back from my whirlwind of a trip. I wanted to stay longer, but work comes first. I have several sessions lined up this week. I am currently returning calls, texts, emails.

 I had a wonderful time visiting with my sweet family. I also got to visit with my Mama. The area where she was laid to rest is so beautiful. She is buried close to my Great Grandmother, Clara and Great Uncle David. The fence line had green vines crawling across and big trees nearby had moss hanging from them. She is right on the fence line, and on the other side of the fence is a pasture and bails of hay were lined up the fence line. I always get a sense of peace when I visit. Here is a few snapshots from my iphone.
