Santa Was Good To Me This Year…
I had a great time last week at Bethany Lakes Park testing out my new lens that I got for Christmas. Santa was very good to me this year. This new Canon 600mm lens allows me to stay quite a distance away from birds, ducks, and other animals, while still getting a...
Yep…It’s Time to Start Thinking about Family Photos Already! How is that Possible?
Hard to believe that it's already time to start thinking about family photo shoots! I was reminded of this after seeing Christmas decorations already out in many of the stores when I was trying to find a bathing suit! How is that possible? I'm hunting for a bathing...
A Perfect Senior Session with Ainsleigh
I had the pleasure of taking pictures of this beautiful girl to celebrate the start of her senior year a few weeks ago! What a fun session. Even though it was very, very hot and muggy, it was a perfect senior session! We met at Adriatica Village in McKinney, a nice...

My Very First Mother/Daughter Photo Session with Two Very Special People
I was so excited about this photo shoot with one of my good friends and her daughter. The two of them planned to get all dolled up and have some pictures taken and printed out for Dad's office wall as a Christmas gift! What a great idea! We were sitting at dance class...
A Special Kind of Photo Session Filled With Over 55 Years of Love
This photo session was a first for me, and I'm pretty sure it will go down as one of my all time favorites. I was approached by a friend who was interested in doing an "engagement" type photo session. I just love this old black and white photo they brought with them...
