Sometimes, Life Gets In The Way...

My first year teaching has been overwhelming... I love the kids, but it's crazy! I'm taking an Arkansas History course and preparing for my Praxis 3 this semester, and on top of that our school went through a scholastic audit, an ACSIP review and an IB authorization this year. Let's just say it was a rough year even for the seasoned veterans. I'm looking forward to next year. It should be a little less hectic.

For all of you who have tried to contact me and it took me weeks to get back to you, I'm sorry. I will be booking weddings this summer but not until after my Praxis 3 assessment on April 6th, and I will only be booking a limited number of weddings this year.

I did manage to get out this week and do some spring pictures of a few lil cuties, including my own. Thank goodness for spring break!

Beautiful Wedding

Congratulations to Meagan and Josh! I had a lot of fun working with them - from rained out bridal shoots to crazy old men at the train station during the engagement shoot. They had an absolutely beautiful wedding, and here is a sneak peak.

Rain & Sunshine

We had quite the time getting Meagan's bridal photos. Our first appointment was rained out, but we still managed to get a few shots.



This is inside the Chapel at Prissy Chrissy Ranch.


We rescheduled for the next week and finally got some sun! You know what they say about east Texas weather... if you don't like it, just wait a minute.







We took all of these photos at Prissy Chrissy Ranch in Texarkana. What an awesome place! Jan and Barnette are super-nice and there are lots of great locations for photos. I definitely recommend giving them a call if you're looking for a location for a wedding or just for photos.

Wedding Prices

Since this is my first year officially doing weddings, I'm offering an introductory rate... but because I'm booking up faster than I can blink, my wedding prices will be going up at the end of February.

I still have some dates available in April and late summer. Once those are snagged, I'm booked up clear until fall. Contact me for more information.

And... here some shots from a fall wedding that was oh-so-much-fun!

JUMP

I shot my first paid wedding 2 weeks ago. Wow, that was hard work! I started at 2:30 in the afternoon and got home around 8:30 that night. It was exhausting, challenging and fun! It is going to take forever to edit all of the photos. Here is my favorite:
