Leah and Wendel, Dallas Texas
Posted on September 27, 2009
Leah contacted me earlier this year to help her with her wedding photography. We met after a couple of emails and conversations on the phone. When we met, it felt like I was catching up with an old friend. We chatted and had a few good laughs at the coffeeshop. I knew instantly that we were going to have a good time working with each other. I finally met Leah’s better half, Wendel, yesterday in Dallas. Leah and Wendel met me at the airport and were so gracious and accommodating!! I felt so spoiled!!!
I LOVE leah and Wendel!! They compliment each other so well! They took me to a couple of their favorite places in and around Dallas. We couldn’t have asked for better weather. I was so much fun learning more about these two. Their wedding is going to be freaking amazing!! Their incorporating tradition and adding a beautiful modern twist to their nupitals. I got goosebumps hearing about it!! I love making their pictures….just look at them!! They are so cute together!! The house is divided when it comes to football! Leah and Wendel can hold some pretty strong arguements about their favorite teams. 
Check out a sneak peek of their engagement pictures in Dallas. More on the way. Leah and Wendel, thank you so much for showing me Dallas through your eyes and showing such amazing hospitality!!!
I hope you and your family like this sneak peek. Drop me a line and let me know.

Tammy Horn marries John Enriquez. Assembly of God, Waco Texas
Posted on September 14, 2009
Tammy went back to Waco to marry John this past weekend. Not even the heavy monsoon like rains could stop their beautiful and intimate hometown wedding. True to their love for country living, John and Tammy celebrated with family and friends over steak and drinks! It was fun and laid back! Everyone had a good time. Here is a sneak peak from their wedding.
Where did the time go?
Posted on September 8, 2009
Jake and I brought Jacob Dylan home to us 10 years ago. To our disbelief, he didn’t even come home with a set of instructions. Talk about a huge learning curve and new adjustment for us! We couldn’t just get up and go anymore. We would have to prepare bottles, pack a bag with diapers, wipes, changes of clothes, and plan around day time naps just to run to the store or see family or friends. Our world was turned upside down. It was hard!
The sleepless nights were beginning to wear Jake and I down fast. Since Jacob wasn’t a sleeper and needed looking after, we agreed to take shifts to care for Jacob in the evenings. This would be good since we would get some rest and after all, some rest was better than no rest at all.
I felt like I was sleeping with one eye open and ears to the ground….I was a new mother after all. One night would go down into books of parenthood and stay with us forever. Jake was rocking Jacob to sleep and I checked on them to make sure all was well before I headed to bed. Jake said everything was great wished me a happy sleep. I felt like I was finally able to hit a state of deep rest and dreams when one dream of a cruel witch taking my newborn baby would scare the crap out of me and have me shoot up from bed and turn over to Jake and ask ‘Jake, where is the baby’. Jake’s new father weariness had caught up with him and he looked up at me and said, ‘I don’t know!!’ Dreaded words that I wasn’t prepared to hear!! ‘What do you mean you don’t know?!? We both instinctively jumped out of bed and pulled all of the blankets, sheets, anything attached to the bed. Jake ran to the bassinet where Jacob would have been sleeping….no baby!!! We always put the baby in the bassinet to sleep!!! We are were past freaking out!! Jake ran over the crib to find a sleeping baby in his crib. Still to this day, I am not sure why Jake placed Jacob in the crib and not in the bassinet. I was just relieved to find Jacob well and safe! Best of all, he was sleeping!!
Jacob loves art and talking about his art! We love playing Zelda and he has also been so kind enough to share some tricks with his mother 
He is so determined and stubborn. Even when the kids in kindergarten challanged him to take flight off a playground platform. As they chanted ‘birdie’, Jacob took flight and landed (fell) on ground and banged up his arm pretty badly.(Never again!) It didn’t phase him one bit. He’s that kind of kid!! He is amazing!!!
Somewhere between the sleepless nights, tricking the kid to potty train, and pursading him to eat vegetables, he grew to be taller, smarter, and sweeter…..he’s still not eating the vegetables!! He has an old soul too. He would rather listen to the Beatles and the Police than do activities kids his age are doing. Today, Jacob celebrated his 10th birthday eating, playing, and hanging out with us!! He blew out his candles and forgot to make a wish….that’s my boy!! Parents are usually the one to teach children many, many things but Jacob has taught to be more patient and enjoy life!! Jake and I couldn’t have asked for a better kid!!
