Christmas Eve

This is my crazy family on Christmas Eve.  It is a tradition in our family to do gag gifts on Christmas Eve.  We have done it forever and its just a lot of fun!  This gifts are really silly and usually pertains to something that happened to us earlier in the year.  Here is a collage of our party!

Spackey Family Portrait

My friend Susan booked me months ago to photograph her family on Christmas Eve.  I haven't seen her in years!  Actually she had 2 more babies since I have seen her last!  I met her entire family at Hacienda Ranch and I had a couple of places set up to shoot.  The whole family was so nice and I really hope to make it down to Houston...her part of town...for a nice visit!!  

Susan..it was so great to see you again!!!  Enjoy the photos!

Fort Worth Stockyards

The day finally came for Caitlin's engagement photos! It was December 9th and FREEZING cold! I think my fingers froze to my camera. At least Caitlin remained happy and bubbly throughout!

Rachel Ray

I am not usually star struck but I had to opportunity to purchase a Rachel Ray cookbook sometime in November and that would give me a number/ticket to see her on December 8th 2007 in person to sign it.  I went with my family and we did wait for over 2 hours in line!  When we finally made it to the table for our 30 seconds with Rachel...I must say she was so much prettier in person than on TV.  I told her about one of the recipe's I made from her book and she said "I LOVE the skillet tamale pie....isn't that just the best?" She said it with such enthusiasm...this girl really loves to cook!  Anyway, I was glad for the chance to meet her.  She was really cute and nice.  Good luck Rachel!

Stephanie Mayo Wedding

I photographed Stephanie and Matt's wedding on December 1st! It was in McKinney, TX and it was in the old historic town square. The Chapel was great and the entire square was very picturesque. They are a great couple and so easy going! Congratulations Stephanie and Matt!!

Packer Backer's!

I have been working with Ron via phone and email for months now!  It was so nice to finally meet him.  He hired me to take a group photo of 150 of the biggest Green Bay Packer fans ever.  They were all flying in for the game against the Dallas Cowboys this past thursday.  They were having a great time Wednesday night partying at the hotel.  Here is the photo!  I think it came out great but I was a bit nervous to deliver them...as I am a Cowboy fan and the Cowboys kicked their butts!!  Sorry Ron...but it was sure great to meet all of you guys!  Please let me know when you all are coming back!  I would love to do this again!

Children's Christmas Portraits

This is a shot of all of the kids together.  This shot was the hardest to get but it is soooo cute!

This is one of my favorite shots of Natalie and Marco.  My two babies!!!

It was time again to organize a neighborhood photo shoot for the kids.  I set up a little studio in my house and put together a few (very few) props and away we went!  I did shoot over 300 images and came out with about 40.  The kids all looked GREAT!  I hope they had a great time and the parents can pick some images for christmas cards or just prints!  

Thanks to all the parents for helping out!

Mahra Fox Wedding

November 17th 2007

I had the pleasure of photographing a wedding for Mahra and Kevin.  The ceremony was at the SHUL and the reception at the beautiful Dallas Museum of Art!

Her colors were gorgeous and her daughter Bella, was the cutest flower girl ever!  

The fairy tale was complete with a horse drawn carriage arriving at midnight!

Omni Mandalay Hotel

November 10th 2007

I photographed Renee and David's wedding in Las Colinas, Texas. It was a beautiful wedding! She had 3 beautiful bridesmaids and David had 3 handsome groomsmen.

It was a small ceremony with a unique reception dedicated to the gathering of friends and family to celebrate the union of this couple.

We lucked out and the GONDOLA was docked practically right at the reception door! We had amazing images taken of the entire wedding party in the gondola. What luck!

Thank you Renee and David for letting me be a part of your day!
