Russ & Terri's E Session :: Abilene Wedding Photographer, San Angelo Wedding Photographer

I'm headed out in about an hour to go photograph these two gettin' hitched (do I sound like a Texan?!!) this evening!   I met Russ at his graphic design shop here in our little town and he's helped me on a project or two in the past.  I was tickled when he called and asked me to photograph his engagement session with his new bride to be!!   I met Terri for the first time at the session, and she was just as sweet as could be... a seriously tall drink of water with beautiful eyes and lovely auburn hair (the color I'd kill for!).  What I loved MOST about their session was just the electricity between the two of them!! At first, she was completely nervous and I could tell he was all about making her feel comfortable and just engaging her in the moment.   I could literally see the uneasiness fall off of her like a coat!  They were seriously adorable together and just made the session so much fun for me!!  They were comfortable in their own skin and that is just so refreshing as a photographer!   



Their ceremony will be at the Moss Creek Ranch... a quaint little B&B in Big Spring... can't wait to see what fun awaits me there!!  So honored to be with them on this special day!!  Stay tuned!!

The Bowen Family :: Abilene Family Photographer, Snyder Family Photographer

I first met Ashley out at my son's school, where I saw her...... day after day...... in a cute hat and shades.   I think this was the first time I had ever actually SEEN her without them... and my, might I say how lovely she looked surrounded by her sweet hubby and babies!  Her little bug, Cason, and I always had a little chat of sorts while we were waiting on school to let out..... I've always been captivated by his gorgeous blues and hoped I'd one day get the chance to get my camera on him!!  What fun!!!  Hope you enjoy this sneak peek! :)





























I couldn't resist!!!!!  

The Bright Family... :: Abilene Family Photographer, San Angelo Family Photographer

Met this sweet family last weekend... their little sweetie was a bit camera shy at first but relaxed into it a bit as time went on.  I actually love it when a little one plays it a bit coy.... gives me the opportunity to capture soft and delicate images like these where they are just being themselves and not playing it up to the camera!!


PS.  I'm just loving my decision to only shoot at "golden hour" ... or the last hour to hour and a half before the sun sets and the light is just sublime.  Can you see it here?  So soft and dreamy... I just love it!  Makes editing a breeze and I'm just so much happier in general!  Best business decision ever!  





















Above & Below:  My favorite two images so far.... I just want to squeeze her!

Sweet Baby Braidyn... :: Abilene Newborn Photographer, Snyder Newborn Photographer

This precious squishy angel came to me a few months ago and I never blogged these images.  Her Mommy purchased my JOY (Just One Year) package and we just did her 3 Month session last week.  I seriously could not be more in love with someone else's baby!!! :)  Even at her newborn session I was just completely smitten by her mushy lil' cheeks and pouty lips... not to mention her gorgeous head of hair!  She was an angel to work with too.  Just had to share these before her first birthday!!  (So sad, but hey- better late then never?)
