Ok, who has the best job in the world???? Me! Every week I get to photograph FANTASTIC people, and share in the biggest day in their lives. We are constantly honored to work for the sweetest, most gorgeous people (inside and out), at the most outrageous venues that DFW has to offer. Believe me, we are constantly counting our blessings.

Amber and Kyle got married at the First United Methodist Church in Keller, TX. The FABULOUS reception was held at the Sky Creek Ranch Golf club in the same city.

Amber’s dress was crazy beautiful. She added jewel encrusted straps just for the ceremony. (At least half of our brides could be designers!) Amber is blessed with natural good looks, as is her now hubby, Kyle. Kyle was a bit freaked out about a last minute hair cut gone wrong, but I think he looks fantastic.

When Amber was walked down the aisle by her father, I saw in my lens a guy who tried really hard to keep it together. He smiled, he laughed, he cried…..she was truly stunning.

The kids, as always, were adorable. The little ring bearer, entrusted with the actually rings, had some wonderful moments on the altar area. He was a little comic.

Then….off to the reception which was beautifully lit. They had a signature monogram lit on the floor, and the ceiling was lit with stars and a very realistic lighting of the moon. The music and decor were other highlights. The Rodney Booth Band was incredible, and oh so reminesant of the big bands of past days.

Everyone had a wonderful time. Kyle and Amber danced the night away with all their families and best friends. What could be better?

And special thanks to Ashley Munn of Ashley Munn photography who helped us out on this huge wedding





Check out this dress! It’s AMAZING! It had a really Grecian feel to it, and I tried to capture that kind of feel with her photos. She loved them!

We just photographed her wedding, and I should have them blogged in the next few weeks. Stay tuned!





It’s been years since I made Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving. Due to family obligations, I’ve made it after the fact on the following weekend. This year I got to make it the day of.
In the past, I always made what my Mom (otherwise known as super chef) made. Holy cow that lady can cook! My Dad too! They team up for this amazing meal. The food they cook is traditional to the family, so this year, I broke away from Mom and Dad’s tried and true recipes in an attempt to start a Mike and Cindy traditional dinner. Some of the recipes were fantastic….one was a great disappointment.
But then again, food is a really cool part of Thanksgiving, but not really the true meaning of the day.
What I’m thankful for:
Our close relationship with all our extended family. They are amazing, supportive, and fun to be around.
Our children. Each one of them is special and wonderful in their own unique way. We adore them.
Our grandchildren. Yes, we are amazingly goodlooking for having grandchildren…LOL. Our grandkids are so smart, so cool, and so loved.
My personal most thankful moment is my beautiful husband Mike. I could not ask for a better partner, lover, friend, or soulmate. He is my everything. Anyone who meets him will instantly know why. He is quick with his laugh, and slow on a temper. (Does he even have one?)

Now unto the food. Yumm!

Herb Roasted Turkey

Roasted Apple, Sausage, and Cranberry Stuffing

Apple Cider infused Gravy

The big hit of the day: Potato and Wild Mushroom Gratin

The disappointment…Spiced Pumpkin, Lentil and Goat’s Cheese Salad. It sounded good on paper

The spread

Ok, don’t give me too much drama for the lack of makeup. After all I spent two days cooking

Magic Mike carving up the feast

Our darling Bennie, fully stuffed with Turkey, chills out. He is crashed out on Turkey overload soon after.
