Felker Family 2011

This famliy has been on the blog TWICE before.

Once with Lola’s Newborns (which I think were on my OLD blogspot) and then with Lola’s one year session.

You can see the entire family has changed since last year (and so has my work!).

What a beautiful trio – inside and out.

I met Emily in college… we carpooled, and had classes and had coffee shop lunches together. 🙂

She was newly married and we were in our final two years of school.

Lola is TWO now and I loved getting to follow her around!

Toddlers sure need to get comfy with the photog.

It took her a good hour to learn that I wasn’t just a ‘bossy scary lady with a camera.’ 🙂

Emily and David – thank you for your love, trust, help and continual support.

You daughter is beautiful and hilarious. I just love you both as a couple.

I can’t wait to see what Lola brings to the table on the next session! 😉

.love.

Special Note: My prayers and thoughts are with their relatives – who are in Alabama… which is completely devastated right now.

We put her in ‘time out’ so we could get some images… sweet little gal really thought she was in time out, but was SO cooperative and kind.I love this… jump!Mommy + Daddy = LOVE
Wooowoooo steamy couple!Emily wrote me saying she stepped out of the norm and got a fun and COLORFUL dress from ANTHRO…

I think she made an AWESOME choice – the color, the fit, the shape – it was perfect. 🙂This is why spring sessions are AMAZING!
We started saying ‘Amen.’

This was Lola’s reaction. 🙂Last photos of a beautiful Mommy, Woman, Teacher, Wife… every woman needs photos like this!Behind the scenes – what HUGE helpers they were for me…AND David lent me his boots (sorry I got them all sweaty!) because this field had a bazillion stick-a-burrs that were attaching my feet.

Thank you Emily for offering to snag a couple of photos – you are such a thoughtful woman!

I love senior sessions.

What a fun and lively group teens are.

They love fashion, posing, color and being beautimous!

Perfect for little ole’me.

Madison was a natural from the get go.

I am so thankful MamaValerie hired me to capture her beautiful daughter and for all of her help with lugging my gear and furniture!

Madison, you rocked this session out with ease. May you choose the COOLEST path… Miss Smarty Pants. 🙂

I cannot wait to see how you ‘make a change’ in people’s lives.

.love.

(shout out to Mia of Compassion Photography for coming along and helping… I cannot wait to see the behind the scenes!)

What a gorgeous girl.

Easter 2011

When I was younger I made a lot of poor decisions.

I was selfish, ignorant, never thought about consequences and was acting out…

I hurt a lot of people, I got hurt a lot, I was a mess.

I used to talk to God about getting things I deserved… a good man, blessings and gifts.

I knew my heart had good intentions, so apparently I believed I deserved all of this ‘stuff.’

Looking back, I realize that I didn’t deserve anything good, I mean none of us ‘deserve’ gifts from God.

However, I will say that once I got on a righteous path, quit doing stupid things and started really focusing on my good heart…

I started noticing all of the blessings I was receiving and was so grateful.

When I had my son I began going to church for the FIRST TIME ever.

I was 22 and single.

It was scary, but I knew a couple of people at this church.

I felt uncomfortable, I had NO IDEA how to worship… nor did I have a connection with it.

I was diving in head first, pulled there for reasons I later figured out.

One day at this church I remember worshiping and finally ‘getting it.’

Tears entered my eyes and I felt the love I had for God and He of me.

Since then, my relationship has blossomed and my gifts have multiplied.

I firmly believe that this growth with God has provided me with a more beautiful life.

I am so thankful for the sacrifice our God gave, so that we can live… sinful at times, but still happy and in love with Him.

I don’t think I would be with my husband, had I not stepped on this path.

Happy Easter, may you be as blessed and as content as I am.

These are all images from today… my little Easter Lovelies!

That smart Easter Bunny, brought her a baby doll.

Looks like Parx will have a baby to practice with before real one arrives!At my Mom and Dad’s home… my beautiful niece and son.She’s just a natural.Love their skin tones…

Meg – I am wondering if you use a flash when inside? What if you go somewhere and they do not have enough natural light – I recently tried to do a shoot inside but there was not enough light and I went to use my external flash, however, daddy wouldnt let me, even when baby was asleep. Have you ever had this issue, what lense do you use in order to let in enough light??

I was thrilled when I met Joey and Chelsea to chat about their wedding.

They live up northing in Washington and I happened to work with Chelsea’s mom a few years ago.

I am so thankful that her mom kept up with my work and me… and passed along my info!

I just loved them – so happy and cool.

Chelsea and Joey are super cute. They are both very laid back, funny, loving and beautiful.

My favorite part of their day, was that we had SO much time for photos… and we took advantage!

You’ll see… there are a lot of images below. 🙂

We did a ‘first look’ which always allows for extra amazing images.

What’s a better way to spend all the time before the ceremony – than with your mate!?

It was super windy and Chelsea handled it with ease, never worrying about her hair… or anything else.

She was such a rockstar bride!

Chels (my pet name) and Joey… thank you soooo much for allowing me to capture this BIG event in your life.

May you be showered with blessings and always lift up one another – through good times and bad.

.love.

(second shooter images! Great job Elisabeth.)Some time with JDog…I loooooove first looks and this has the PERFECT city feel… Fort Worth even has CABS! 🙂He is checking out his beautiful bride, love.You are so Hottie McTottie!
You are just too gorgeous my friend…. lovely lady!Ring Shots Baby… gotta love’em.Time for some Mr and Mrs romantics… I love ALL of these.Carpe Diem… indeed.Ended the evening with a few more romantics on the lovely Magnolia Avenue… complete with TONS of beautiful lights!
