Elizabeth planned the BEST surprise for her husband for their 5th anniversary. She had a heck of a time keeping it a secret --- for weeks after the shoot! Such a day of nerves, makeup, girlfriends there to support her, and absolutely breathtaking images that celebrated her sexiness and feminine beauty in a way that made her feel empowered and completely knocked the socks off her husband!
What an awesome experience to get to create a day of beauty celebrating this talented photographer, dear friend and gorgeous woman!
I knew from the moment I met Andrea that she would be a dream to photograph - and boy was I right. She is beautiful inside and out and seriously the most deserving of women to have a day of pampering and beauty all to herself. She somehow manages to homeschool 4 children, run her home, and a photography business, help other photographers (me) with her mad Photoshop skills, and look sweet, refreshed and fabulous at the same time!
This lovely lady took the time out of her busy schedule - which is a juggling act of work, home, mothering 3 sons, and being a wife, oh and having a social life... To do something for herself. To celebrate, be pampered and to completely step out of her comfort zone.
She knew that she'd love these portraits. But like all my clients, actually SEEING the gorgeous feminine side of yourself that you KNOW is in there, but rarely is captured in an amazing portrait is an experience in itself.
Glowing with expectant beauty:
I was so happy to be able to celebrate this moment with Sarah. Motherhood absolutely suits this lovely mama. Such happiness.
I have been looking forward to this Modern Glamour Photoshoot for months! It was so much fun spending a morning pampering and playing dress up while celebrating beauty in this lovely wife, mother and courageous woman.
When Leslie came to me with the idea of a retro 50's style shoot for herself and her daughter I was so excited to help her vision come to life!
Their matching outfits and accessories absolutely made the look come together. Aren't they just darling??
I have been so excited for Shayne's maternity session. We've been planning this for months and the day finally arrived! I knew that she would photograph beautifully - despite her insistence that she's never looked good in professional portraits. I love showing women how beautiful they truly are... And to be able to do this while celebrating the beauty of pregnancy is just amazing.
Shayne trusted me with every detail of this shoot and I could not be happier with the results:
This lovely lady came in for a portrait session after she competed in a fitness competition - - she had worked so hard to achieve her goals and to celebrate - and document - her accomplishment, a full-glam photo shoot was in order.
While fitness photography isn't necessarily my primary genre, I find that there is a easily relatable component to my glamour brand - and that is celebrating the beauty of the shape of a woman's body. Big or small, curves are gorgeous. Muscle is powerful, and strength is amazing. All the ingredients together: Pure Awesomeness.
I had the awesome opportunity to expand my technical lighting skills and shoot some fitness portraits and head shots at my local gym. It was totally fun to try new techniques and find ways to light these absolutely ripped trainers in dramatic ways - - completely different than my normal glamour and boudoir lighting style. And I think it worked!
There are so many wonderful reasons for a lovely new head shot: to use for your business website, your Facebook page, or just a nice portrait to give to someone you love. This lovely mama came in for Mother's Day Mini Sessions - - and I convinced her to stay for a head shot. So glad she did!
With Mother's Day just around the corner, of course it is time for more images that celebrate that amazing bond that cannot be described.

It is springtime in Texas, and that means Bluebonnets! Well, usually it does. Last year was a very poor year for blooms, I searched high and low and only found one meager patch. This year is a vast improvement -- combined with mild weather -- and it is the perfect setting for outdoor family portraits!
I am so excited for Mother's Day. This is the time of year when mommies feel they have the "reason" to get gussied up and take gorgeous portraits with their children. Really, there doesn't need to be a holiday for there to be a reason. Your children are your reason. Exist in photos for your children. It is a gift to them. It is a gift to you. It is priceless. Timeless. It captures love.
Beautiful Nellie is starting a new business and came to me for just the right head shot as she prepares to launch her service as a professional counselor and reaches out to the communities of Abilene, TX. It was an absolute pleasure working with this lovely lady who has such a open heart to help others.
These ladies work hard helping women relax, recharge and look beautiful at the amazing spa they work at: Absolute Perfection Day Spa. If you haven't been there - - go! Experience a day of pampering!
How lovely are these professional head shots?
Beautiful Sheron came in for an updated headshot - how gorgeous is she? Headshots do not have to be boring. They can be delightfully modern and elegant.

Every woman deserves a day that is all about her. Being pampered, looking gorgeous, getting fussed over, being the star of the show. Celebrating beauty.
New Year and time for new gorgeous professional head shots! Teresa rocked her session:
Ayanna is simply Lovely. When I saw her I knew I HAD to photograph her. Little did I know, her session would be even more beautiful than I had imagined.
It is that time of year again - when Valentines is just around the corner and Boudoir Sessions are in full swing! There are going to be some very happy husbands who will be receiving a Gorgeous, Sensual and Timeless gift from their brave and beautiful wives. (Hey, Boudoir takes some bravery!).
And though the majority of images from these sessions will never be seen - except by those whom they were intended for - I make sure to capture several lovely Modern Glam Portraits that can be shared - and shown off!
