three things | dfw photographer

 
first let's start with a picture - or nine.  that way i have your attention.
 

 

1. that's my sweet girl.  i'm kinda just a wee bit crazy about her.  i kiss her cheeks all.day.long.  can you blame me? 
she wants to wish you a merry christmas.  she hasn't the foggiest clue what christmas is.  but she does clap with great enthusiasm when i sing christmas songs and light the tree.  so we take what we can get.

2. elle dee is d.o.n.e for 2012! thank you so much for your support and love.  i'm excited for 2013 and know it will be great fun!

3. i asked for a film camera for christmas.  so if santa is good to me, you should expect a little film to be thrown into future sessions!  i'm super pumped! {you should be too!}

merry christmas from the shafer family!  and a happy new year!

c family | dfw family photographer

this family was so much fun to photograph. four boys + a daddy + a busy momma!  big families have a special place in my heart.  i love the chaos, the noise and most of all the love.  i keep telling my husband that (Lord willing) we *need* four babies... he's okay with three but thinks four is a crowd.  i take one look at this sweet family and i beg to differ.  four is just right!

the grandparents just happened to be visiting from mexico.  so naturally we had to take a group shot.  :)


baby b | dfw newborn photographer

sometimes during a newborn session you have the perfect lighting, a full, happy, sleeping baby and all the time in the world to take as many photos as your little heart desires.  sometimes.  but not most times.  and not this time.
it couldn't have been a more dark and dreary day.  baby b was *hungry* and was not at all in a sleeping mood.  and with the session dragging on over three hours i was beginning to outstay my welcome.  but this sweet family was a joy to photograph and i really love the images that we captured!  great job, guys!  i can't wait to watch mister b grow!!

{the following images were shot with an iso of 1600 or higher.  i was very thankful for my new camera the entire session!}


beautiful bride | dfw bridal photographer

i'm finally getting around to blogging and sharing some of this gorgeous girl's bridals!  we met at rice university in houston and then headed over to the houstonian hotel to finish off the session. 

beautiful girl + beautiful locations = goodness.
