Dallas Event Photographer| {Scarlett} second birthday

Only my 3rd birthday party to photograph, but boy, was it EPIC.

Scarlett's mom called me after her friend told her of my skillz. Her friend was NOT a past client of mine but a friend of a past client. And this is where I quote Mark Twain, *Ahem...

"I can live for two months on a good compliment."

So if you ever doubted the power of positive feedback...Anywho. Many thanks to Emma's momma ;)

Can you say, "rabbit-trail much"?

This party was seriously off-the-chain. Complete with a little monkey, named Miki (pronounced, Mikey) and a sweet clown, named Posie. The magic, balloons, and little white bunny were a huge hit. So fun! Scarlett and her little friends wandered around the house for hours eating, playing circus-y games, popping balloons, snacking, winning prizes, blowing out birthday candles, eating... All the while, surrounded by the most elaborate decorations and sweet smelling cupcakes.

I could go on forever. But I won't. You can see for yourself :)

Happy Birthday, sweet Scarlett!!! Thanks for the memories!

the most important things... {personal}

Things have been a little slow around here and honestly, that's ok. I was a little sad when I came back from maternity leave and people didn't jump all over me for sessions, but then I remember a little prayer I prayed when I first started my business.

"Dear Lord, help me to do what You want me to do, how You would want me to do it, and only as much as I can handle." 

I'm pretty sure He knows that better than I do...

So, I'm moving ahead with my life and photographing the most important things...

...like superhero's in my backyard.

There goes that superhero, schmoozin' the crowd by kissin' babies...

Thanks for the memories, sweet boy.

Fort Worth Family Photographer| {Patterson} Missionaries

This family! I love them!! Heather, the oldest daughter, and Ryan, the son, have been in our youth group for about a year now, and little sister Trisha is sweet as a sugar bowl and is also such a joy to be around. They are missionaries alongside their father who TRANSLATES THE BIBLE! That's right. This man helps to make it possible for the people of Mongolia to know of Christ's love through painstakingly translating each verse, word by word along with his team of nationals. His wife, Marcy, contacted me last week to see if I would be able to take a few images for their new prayer cards and I readily agreed.

I really couldn't think of a better way to celebrate this Father's Day weekend then to put up the images of this Dad, who as a young man, gave his life to the Lord and trusted Him to direct his life accordingly.

Please pray for this family as they begin the long and hard trek back to Central Asia. They will not be returning for quite awhile and need your love and prayers. You can find more information on this family here at their mission board's blog. 

Thanks for the memories, Patterson Fam!
