ashley and marshall: dallas engagement photographer

marshall contacted me a few months ago to see if I would come to Dallas to shoot his and Ashley's engagement photos, and I couldn't've been more flattered! he and I knew each other in college at The University of Tulsa and had only been in touch on Facebook since. He said he knew I would put them at ease, and I think I did, because we spent the whole time cracking up! :)

I mean, probably a third of the pictures I took look like the one in the upper right hand corner--where both of them are laughing! You can tell they really have fun together!



And the black and white sheep--well, there's a story. And the short version is that they're special to them and that Marshall is the "black sheep"--so of course these sheep had to make a cameo! I love it when clients bring object that have special meaning to them--it adds so much to the photos!





this is one of my favorites--and one of theirs too. such sweetness!


and is this adorable or what?


you all were such a delight, thanks again for letting me be a part of your engagement celebration!!

marano holiday photoss: dallas couples photographer

I feel like I'm really fortunate because I often hit it off with my clients--and this couple was no exception. We had SUCH a good time laughing and joking around and taking pictures. And they had some fantastic ideas!

here they are with bogey, who if I recall correctly is an english bulldog. I'm pretty sure he spends most of his weekends posing for the camera--he was a natural!



and he kiiiinda stole the show sometimes.



we played around with balloons


and lovely staircases


and just captured their overall awesomeness--love this sweet gum seed pod with their rings!




and I love this one! the lines, the look on bogey's face, just the whole thing!
