Sweet Summertime WeddingI want you all to know, this was my very first wedding and what an incredible opportunity it was to be asked to capture this couples special day. I've gotten to be good friends with the bride, her daughter models for me, babysits for us and they have a close relationship with our boys. It was nice to break into photographing weddings with friends and a very small wedding, there was only five of us there. It was perfect. While we were taking our photos outside, a couple stopped by and gave the groom $30 and said lunch was on them. This wedding was so sweet, simple and filled with tears and lots of love. Congrats to the beautiful couple. Thank you for choosing me.
Fall and Christmas Photoshoots in Frisco!This is the busiest my little business has ever been and I am so very excited for this season. When I started my photography business, I went from not knowing how to use my camera and editing software, building and failing at several websites and having few clients. I used to (and still do) study other photographers work and see just what they did to create such beautiful art... a brush stroke here, dehazing there... I was frustrated and nearly quit several times feeling like I would never be able to create the art the photographers I look up to create in which I still aspire. I am now not only receiving phone calls but I have been featured in a magazine, had some of my writing published in Bella Grace Magazine this past June, been picked a handful of times as "Inspiration" for other photographers on Beyond the Wanderlust and had some of my photos featured on Instagram. I also run pixANDpaints on Etsy and helped design and sold over $600 worth of my prints in the Texas Urban Living Real Estate building in Grapevine. It has been quite a journey in the last three years and really, it is still the beginning of my career. It is always nice though to take a look back to where you came from and to see how far you have come and the possibilities the future holds when you work hard and continue to educate yourself. I invite you to take a look at my website and if you are wanting Christmas photos, please get on my schedule. Most families hope for the weekends when the lighting is the most beautiful...these spots come and go quickly. |
