I’m sitting here at my computer excited and exhausted at the same time. I leave for WPPI in Vegas today and I am sooooo thrilled to be learning from the best of the best in the Photography Industry. I had a fabulous wedding last night and with all the excitement and nerves I didn’t get much sleep. :-( I know I missed last Wednesday’s post and I wish I had a good reason, but I just completely forgot, lame I know lol. BUT I wanted to touch base with all my readers to let them know that I have some good stuff coming up on the blog. I can’t wait to start to share my 2010 couples with you guys. I will be out of town until next Wednesday so I will not be having a Wednesday post (again) but stay tuned for a brand new post next Sunday.
Here’s a sneak peek from last nights wedding…

Krista is one of my biggest fans and I absolutely LOVE her! Any chance she gets she’ll let you know who she thinks should photograph your wedding lol. Thank you SOOO much Krista for all your support in my business I couldn’t do it without loyal friends like yourself. ;-)
Here are a few of my favs from our session. Thanks again guys I had a blast.

So I know this post is kinda of late. :-( I totally forgot today was Wednesday. It’s been one of THOSE days. You know the kind of days where you wonder if you forgot to put on deodorant? You KNOW those kind of days, right? Or is that just me? LOL Either way I planned on doing today’s post about my new site.
I am soooooooooo excited to share that my new website has launched! I absolutely LOVE it. It’s clean & it’s simple and fits me perfectly. I’ve had the same website for almost two years and I really really needed a change. Plus it showcases all my new lovely couples. I love you guys! :-) Couples that got married a couple of years ago, don’t worry I still have love for you
I just had to make room for my most recent couples.
So if you haven’t already go take a peek http://www.captivatingsimplicity.com
Here’s a screen shot of what it looks like

Nayza & Max got married on January 30th, you remember that day right? It was FREEEEEZZZZINNNNGG! I seriously thought my fingers would never straighten back up. I really thought I’d have to permanently walk around with hands that looked like claws. It was terrible! But Nayza and Max and their wedding party toughed it out and we got some fun pics! Nayza is my husbands cousin so it was a PARRTAAY! I had so much fun. A BIG shout out to my girls Melissa Marquez and Melinda Leal for assisting me on this day. I couldn’t have done it with out you two. ;-)
Here are more than a few of my favorites.. Thank you Nayza and Max for trusting me to document your special day.

I’m so excited to share these pics on my blog. Kelly Simants from Sweet Pea Events decided that the wedding professionals in Dallas need to have a day once a month to relax, have fun, and meet and greet with other professionals in Wedding Industry, and this is how Thursday Therapy was born. :-) It has been soooo fun meeting other professionals in the Wedding Industry and hanging out with old friends. Kelly asked me to take a few pics during the last Thursday Therapy in January. Here are a few of my favorites. :-)
Also if you’re looking for an AMAZING wedding planner please make sure to visit Kelly’s site here. You can also shoot her an email if you are in the Wedding Industry and would like to be included in the invite.

I have been waiting to post these bridals, and Cathy got married yesterday so here they are! I had an absolute blast tagging along with Magaly with The Modern Image Photography. Cathy wanted a very classic look, so we didn’t go to crazy with posing, and I absoultely love the outcome. I’m usually not a big fan of too “traditional” of a look, but I think we were able to give her what she wanted and added a little bit of a modern flare to several of the poses.
Here are some of my favorites from the session. Thanks again to Magaly for letting me tag along.

OMG I’m in LOVE LOVE LOVE with this Kelly Moore bag, and frankly I want one… BADDDDD, but I have a problem. I have always had trouble buying something for ME. I can go spend $520 on a playstation 3 console with games and all the trimmings for my husband but I won’t buy this bag for me. WHY? Cause I feel guilty. Don’t ask me why… I’m strange like that. I have socks that have holes in them and I still wear them. I need a new pair of black flats because my toe is about to rip through the front, but NO I won’t go buy new shoes, and don’t get me started on all these tight clothes that don’t even fit me anymore.. ugghh I have a problem shopping for myself. Am I the only one?
Soo the whole point of this is because The Savvy Photographer is giving away a fabulous Kelly Moore bag~ http://www.thesavvyphotographer.com to ONE lucky winner. I want it… pretty please with sugar on top…. don’t make me beg Marsha … I will.. lol
Here’s the bag isn’t it BEAUTIFUL?? It will double as a purse and a camera bag for me.

Photograph by The Savvy Photographer
Wish me luck…

Every now and then I like to do something different. Don’t get me wrong I love photographing weddings, but I like to mix it up a little. I especially LOVE babies! They don’t talk back, they can’t run from me, and they are so perfect and need little to no editing. SCORE! My husband works with Monica and gifted her a baby session from me. I think it’s so cute that my husband thinks photography is a good gift b/c I couldn’t agree more.
If you are visiting my site for the first time I am a wedding photographer and don’t normally commission anything other than weddings so that I can give my undivided attention to my wedding clients.
Here are a few of my favorites of this beautiful baby girl!



She pee’d immediately before the shot on the right lol soooo funny good thing the couch was leather!






Loved her blue eyes! I wanted to take her home with me.
