I had a great session with this sweet family! How cool are  their names? They brought some neat props from their home to use to show off their Texan style. :)

Wynona’s one request was a boot picture. ;)

Beautiful Miss Wylie

Brittany + CJ

29.09.2010

A few weeks ago whenever Paris got all that rain and all those tornados started popping up all over Dallas… I shot this session. LUCKILY, I planned on meeting Brittany and CJ at their place in Dangerfield. It didn’t rain on us but the wind was crazy and it got REALLY dark several times. I just knew the bottom was about to fall out at any moment.. but thank goodness it didn’t! I’m shooting Brittany and CJ’s wedding in November in Hooks! The venue looks SO awesome and Brittany told me a few things about the details and decor and I think it’s going to be gorgeous. I can’t wait! For now, here are a few from their engagement session! :)

Brittany’s OTHER man. (Tuff) ;)
