Bridal Session...

I just can not wait to share this session.

I have been friends with this bride's sister for nearly 20 years!! It was an absolute honor when her mom asked me to do her bridal portraits.

Miss Bride here whisked off to Hawaii this weekend, family in tow, to marry her handsome, brave, marine fiancee. 

More to come.

Enjoy =)

Heather "The Volunteer"

Those of you who know me, know that I have always been an animal lover. I used to bring home the neighborhood cats because I was not allowed to have one (my parents are both SERIOUSLY allergic). This didn't stop at home. I will never forget finding the newborn kittens with one of my besties, Brittney, taking them back to her house to raise. Naturally, a kitten was the first addition to my own little family once I was out on my own. 

Another little note about me... I have this incessant need to help others. I have always been a nurturer, really to a fault.

So pending graduation last December, my mind was already on volunteering. The natural fit - The Plano Animal Shelter. Even more natural, being one of the animal photographers. I don't know why I haven't shared before, but from now on I will share a few of the cuties from my days at the shelter. 

Today I worked with the dogs =)

A little piece of my heart breaks everytime I leave these sweet pups (and kitties). You can find all of these guys plus about 100 more HERE - petfinder.com  

Next time you're looking for the newest addition to your family, PLEASE consider checking out the Plano Animal Shelter. It's really an incredible facility. I've never seen a shelter like it before. 

Love you all =)

Can you say gorgeous?

Meet: Jennifer!

Soon to be done with Grad school at UNT and on the hunt for her perfect job. I was super excited when she contacted me about a session, especially when she said.. You're the creative one, I trust your judgement. I LOVE this! It gives me total control to do something fun and different.

Here is a sneak peak at her session...

Enjoy all!

Good luck on the job hunt Jenn!

Jessica & Mark Preview |Engaged|

I know it has been awhile since I have shared, and I definitely have some old sessions to catch up with on here, but I finally have some free time! Here is  session with the lovely and beautiful (or handsom) Jessica and Mark! We spent the evening sweating our booties off at the Arboritum before being kicked out and scuffling over to white rock lake, which turned into the perfect sport for an engagement session. Check out my favs so far =)

Kinda makes me think of clips from a movie. =)

Enjoy!

I am working currently to create a home, about us, contact page for Indigenous Imports since right now we have only created their e-commerce store. It is going to be so cool! I am very excited to make this site live.

Oh! Guess what else.. since I refuse finish this post without photos, Justin and I had our engagement photos taken by the lovely and talented, Stephanie Read, the photographer for Auburn Soul Photography. I have had the fortune of getting to know Stephanie when she mentored me at the beginning of the summer and I look forward to her being at my wedding, capturing every exciting moment.
