Lauren & Brian - E-Session

Had a fabulous engagement session with Lauren & Brian on Saturday morning. It was a balmy 45 degrees here in Springtown. We had to quickly slip Lauren in and out of her winter coat for these super cool shots (thanks to Caitlin Ball my assistant on the shoot for keeping track of the coat) and occasionally rub the goosebumps away. Brian must be warm blooded because he didn't even shiver. They're getting married in a few weeks so these may be the last pictures of them single!

Success Magazine

What a great experience I had shooting and assisting legendary photographer Christopher Barr on this wonderful editorial shoot for Success Magazine. The Osteens were fun and full of life. Check out the cover story in the current November issue in bookstands now.

Jessica and Guy

Jessica and Guy married September 12th at Temple Baptist here in Springfield. It was a beautiful and special day for both of them. It was really one of the best weddings I've been to all season. God's presence was definitely felt. Please enjoy a short video of their fabulous day.

Carrie & Clint - Peabody's Farm - October 2, 2009

Carrie and Clint's wedding day started out to be the windiest day of fall, but as if by magic, as Carrie came walking down the isle in her beautiful gown at sunset, the wind subsided and all was perfect! The red bard and grounds at Peabody's Farm were an amazing backdrop for Carrie and Clint's fabulous wedding. Enjoy the video of their day.
