I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!  Mine was spent with my brother and his family. It was wonderful!! There were tons of little kids around.  I was able to capture some awesome photos. We had such a wonderful time and the next morning I went with the family to the black friday sales. Wow, what an experience!!!  We began the day at 3:30 am lol.  It was so much fun!!

My latest photo sessions have included family photos, bridals, and corporate shots.  I captured some awesome pictures of a mother and daughter at the Dallas Arboretum last Friday.  The following Saturday, I shot bridals at the same place, the Dallas Arboretum.  It is so beautiful there, no matter what season.  I even found another little garden to shoot some photos that I had never been to before.  The lighting was perfect and it wasn't too busy.  I had a great time at both shoots.  Then Tuesday, I went to a corporate office to shoot photos of a wonderful counselor and her seeing eye dog.  It was such a pleasure working with her. 

Today I did some local advertising by passing out some business cards in my area.  I had a great time meeting some new people in the neighborhood.

I know. It has been way too long since I have updated my adventures.  I have had a few since my last blog, but was getting too busy to post about them.  My world has begun a new journey and currently the course has led to devoting more time to my photography business.  Yesterday, I shot a fantastic lecture at the Dallas Museum of Art with a Professor from Istanbul, Turkey.  Later that evening, I photographed a dinner at the Jewel Hotel Pentouse.  That was my first time inside the hotel and let me tell you, it was phenomenal.  I had an amazing opportunity to work with a company, Gilan, from Istanbul and meet some wonderful people from Turkey.  It was delightful to have a turkish delight and engage in my passion, photography.  The Ottoman style jewelry was breathtaking and photographing those involved was just as wonderful.  I am greatful for having this opportunity and would love to shoot more events in the future.

This weekend, I will be shooting engagement photos.  The following weekend, I will be shooting engagements and family photos. 

Keep your fingers crossed that I get the next two weddings!

Thank you to everyone who played this month. It's always such an exciting time to shake up the players' names and heart pounding when I grab one winner out! It's fun to play -- if you are interested in registering your name or a friend's name for next month's drawing, the form has been updated.  You may do so at this time. 

It's a great way to offer someone a gift who has been procrastinating about having their picture made or who has never had a professional individual or family picture taken.  September's winner gave her session away to a close friend who will be taking advantage of the family photo option. 

If you just can't wait until November's drawing and want to set up your session now for Christmas cards, please call me soon, I am booking now!

Thanks!

The wedding in Canton, TX was great.  My father and I covered all of our bases and were able to move equipment in and out pretty quickly.  My dad did an excellent job shooting candids and I worked with the formal shots.  We are still doing some editing, but will be posting the gallery for the bride and groom very soon. I'm looking forward to the picture selection day and ordering their album!

The engagement session rocked! We had great lighting and a relatively empty Arboretum.  Since it was Labor Day, there weren't that many photographers working.  Natalyia and Brock were naturals! They were sweet, wonderful, and fun to work with.  I can't wait to see which photos they select for their package! 

Congratulations to Stacie Baskin!!! She is the Winner of the Free Photo Session Drawing that was held today!!!
