{DFW Photographer} The Eason Family

This weekend was the first time I ever actually met Amanda and her family in person.  In the past I’ve just connected with her on Facebook and briefly talked with her on the phone about camera settings one afternoon.

Anyway, we worked out a trade of sorts and I did a family shoot for them in Waxahachie on Saturday, where the light was wonderful and the scenery, well, it was divine.

Amanda is a college friend of my sister’s and has the wonderful luxury of being a stay at home mom while her husband, Andy, works and is in law school.  During her time at home, Amanda has created the Bitty Bear Baby Boutique, where she is a sewing goddess with all of her fantastic baby goods, and even some goodies for mamas and daddies as well! 

 
This weekend, Amanda surprised me with the adorable Mama Clutch in a beautiful damask fabric with pink accents and a SUPER cute fabric flower! I may not be a mama, but I can still carry the Mama Clutch---maybe it’s more like a teacher clutch for me, since it fits well in my laptop bag for work.

Amanda also included some of the business cards that I designed for her, and I must say, they came out looking super cute, yet, very professional!

{Allen Newborn Photographer} Meet Baby K

This afternoon, Cliff helped me pack up the car and we drove up to see our wonderful friends in Allen for their precious daughter’s first official photo shoot!

I have been friends with Nolan and Christina since college, and we were all members of the ETBU Tiger Band together…ahhh memories! Back in 2007, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to shoot Nolan and Christina’s beautiful wedding in Rockwall and now they allowed me to come do pictures of their brand new family member.  She is so beautiful, and I am so happy for my friends Nolan and Christina!

Here are some samples from today’s session:

 

Yes, be prepared to wipe away a few tears with this shot!

There is something special about seeing a man hold his first born daughter. I just know Nolan is going to be a spectacular father. Say a prayer for all those boys who will try to date this pretty girl!

Love this family!!!

Well, that’s about it for now! Still recovering and wearing a large brace on my leg. Tomorrow is the first day of school for the 2010-2011 school year. Luckily, I’m able to bum a ride to work from a friend!

Hope y’all have a great week!           

Tales of a Woman With a Bum Knee…

Well, I have not left the house much, other than to go to physical therapy or to the doctor, with the occasional trip to El Fenix, so there is not much going on around here at the moment.  I just keep sitting around and relaxing and doing my knee exercises in hopes that I’m actually getting better with this whole knee surgery thing.  The most eventful thing this week happened on Friday when I got the staples out of my knee, which allowed me to finally take a full fledged shower on Saturday, my first since my surgery. (Thank goodness, I was SO ready for that shower.)

Thankfully, my sister came this past week to help me out some and drive me to doctors appointments. Her help was greatly appreciated. 

Since I’m not doing much but sitting on my tail these days, I haven’t really bothered to take many pictures, except of my hideous knee, and I can only get away with so many of those.

However, I did find this image in a folder of random summer images taken last month during our trash the dress session in Dallas.  It is of the iconic Dallas Pegasus.

{DFW Photographer} July Dallas SMUG Mug Meet and Trash the Dress!

Last night was our monthly Smug Mug meeting at the Tower Club in Dallas, (yes, very swanky and nice!) 
This month we had a Trash the Dress photoshoot....at night with four amazing models and two great cosmetology girls!

Overall we had about 35 photographers come out and Candice Cunningham came back out and supplied us with the wedding dresses, (apparently she has quite the collection for events such as these.)

Once we got outside we had a great time working with some fantastic people and it was SO much fun getting to do this shoot! Here are a couple of samples from last night's shoot:

This couple was HOT! and passionate:







I haven't had much chance to look over the rest of the photos--it has been a busy day so far, but when I get some others fixed up, I'll post 'em!

Till Next Time!
