Stress Sessions

Sometimes when I feel stressed, I grab my camera and go find things to capture. 

It doesn't happen too often, but for some reason today has been rough. So, I headed out to find anything that would stand still long enough. I found some cute things... including baby calves, new colts and pretty sunsets. 

Thankful to have this creative outlet that I love so much. 

 

Chris+Cerra | Wedding

Remember that wedding I was second shooting for? Well, here it is! What a beautiful day with beautiful colors, flowers and super fun converse shoes! 

Thank you to the talented Megan for letting me come and spend the day shooting with you! I had an absolute blast and learned so much from how you run the day with your bride and groom.

Weekend+Minco Rodeo

This weekend has been one of my favorite weekends of the year. It seems like so much has happened in just a couple of days and my Sunday Funday is just now starting too! I always count my weekends as officially started at 5:05 p.m. Friday.  So on Weekend Day 1 I left work and headed for Highway 47 . You see, my best friend lives somewhere off 47 and I was making the 2 hour trip to spend the night catching up, eating cake, chatting with her momma, and playing with her doggy son, Sammy.  To say we had a fun evening was an understatement. We spent all day Saturday doing nothing but chatting in our pj's (with a slight pizza break in the middle) and I loved every minute of it. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful best friend and I can't wait until the Zwilling's move back to Oklahoma! Eeeeek!

After making the two hour drive back to Minco, America, I headed to the rodeo. Because what small town summer is complete without a rodeo, right? 

I always love rodeo weekend. My family has been going since I was just a little thing, so it was fun all going again. A couple of co-workers had family riding, so I brought my camera just in case anything looked outstanding to capture. And, it did of course. I caught a few pictures for my Project 365 album and a few for my co-workers. However, some images look a little more painful than others. 

So, now I sit here on Weekend Day 3 and prepare to second shoot with one of my photography besties, Megan. I met Megan through Pursuit 31-Lawton and have loved getting to know her ever since. She asked me a few months ago if I would come and shoot with her and I immediately said yes. No matter how many weddings of my own I have done it is always great working with other photographers to see how things happen on their wedding days. I am excited to learn from Megan and get to work with her! This is my first time second shooting and I can't wait. Updates will be coming soon-- don't worry! 

See, like I said. This weekend has been FULL. Not only with activities, but with blessings too. And, it isn't over yet! 

Have a wonderful Sunday Funday, Friends!  

Jamie+Norah

These two girls were so fun! My big brother has been friends with Jamie for a while, but I finally got a chance to meet her and her daughter, Norah, this week! 

Norah is a girl after my own heart... because after all a girl really only needs her momma, piggy, a crown and a cute pair of boots, right? She is too precious and not to mention too smart. She knows way to much for an almost big three year old! haha 

Jamie-- Thank you for making the trip to Minco. I so enjoyed hanging out with you and Norah for the evening! She is a doll! 

Amy+Hanna+Ivy

This session was one of my favorites ever. But, then again these girls are always a fun time! 

We started out at Amy's land with plans of using the big silo for photos... and then we found this little run down barn of a thing to the north and it turned out to be the perfect backdrop for the evening... with the most beautiful soft evening sun! 

Hanna is a dream. Such a photogenic little gal that I could probably take pictures of all day! And, Ivy is just the most precious little thing! Seeing Ivy and Hanna together is so sweet! Hanna is such a great big sister and you can tell Ivy thinks the world of her. We laughed and laughed all evening... especially when Ivy found that the silo echoed (it was adorable!)

I think Amy is going to have her hands full when these two get older! :) 

 Thanks again for having me out! 

Nicky+Terry | Engagement

A couple weeks ago, I met up with Nicky and Terry to take some super beautiful engagement pictures. 

This couple is so fun and sweet together and I so enjoyed getting to hang out with them! Now I am even more excited for bridal pictures and their October wedding! 

Klent+Angela | Part Two

Last weekend, I witnessed the sweetest couple get married and I am finally getting through images from their day and finally able to share a few more!
