Kristi + Dave: Engagement Portraits in Plano, Texas

Allison — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 14:53:22 +0000

Meet Kristi & Dave! They are a super-sweet couple who had a whirlwind winter break. Kristi and Dave are living in Chicago where Dave is in medical school in Chicago. Dave proposed to Kristi in California while they were visiting his family for Christmas. After they were engaged, they flew to Dallas to share the news with her family. While they were in town, we met and scheduled their engagement session for the day before their return to Chicago. It was such a joy to photograph them for their engagement session. They were so full of love an affection for each other and I love it when couples still have that bubbly spirit after they’re engaged. We photographed their engagement session at the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve and at the Shops at Legacy near the Christmas tree since Dave proposed on Christmas Eve. Enjoy their photos! Love these photos in the tall fields at the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve. Love the lens flare in this shot!This series by the trees at the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve was one of my favorite spots for the day. This is my favorite photo from the session. It was so hard to pick a favorite from their session, but I love the expressions on their faces and the warmth of the sun peeking from around Dave’s head. It’s just so romantic—just like Kristi & Dave!

Thank you so much for choosing me for your engagement portrait photography! I had such a wonderful time photographing your sweet love and affection for one another.

Nicole: Senior Portraits

Meet Nicole. She is graduating this year from the nursing school at Samford University in Alabama. She was friends with one of my most fabulous brides: Marchele. She was coming to Dallas to visit her boyfriend for the weekend and since her parents wanted her to have some senior portraits taken, she e-mailed me to see if I was available since she had seen Marchele’s Wedding photos. She was a little shy in front of the camera, but I thought was just adorable. Congratulations on graduating soon! Best wishes!Love this one!!

Ashley: Bridal Portraits

I’m so excited to share these bridal portraits with you all! And I’m sure Ashley’s just dying to see them. Ashley has totally been one of my favorite clients because she is just so darn sweet. I really have enjoyed e-mailing with her and visiting with her over the phone throughout her engagement. I know she really does value her photographs and that she had a ton of fun during our times together. And I like it when people have fun with my sessions instead of feeling like they “have to” do their engagements or bridals. Ashley has been totally excited about the whole package. I cannot wait for her fabulous wedding in September at Prestonwood Baptist Church. She gave me permission to post these early because she wanted to share some of her photos with her friends and family (and she doesn’t even think Kyle knows my website, so I think we’re safe – hehehe). She wanted to do her session while her sister was still in town, so we bumped them up a month or so and we did this shoot on the first 100 degree day, but we didn’t die. Ashley was wanting a mix of fabulous architexture and wild fields, so we started at the Highland Park United Methodist Church and finished at the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in Plano.

This first one is my favorite from the day! I sent it to Ashley as a tease the night of our shoot. The second one is just an editing variation on the first one. STUNNING!This is my second favorite from the day because I just feel like Ashley is a timeless beauty. Thank you so much Ashley for such an amazing session! There are so many others I wanted to post, but maybe I’ll just post them on your wedding day. I feel like these depict your great beauty and I can’t wait till Kyle sees you on your wedding day. I think he’ll be smiling really, really big.
