Winter Wonderland (Part 2)

So on Christmas we had a wonderful time playing in the snow.  If it snows once a year in Dallas, we consider it a blessing!  Not only has it snown again (is that a word), it snowed 10 inches in one day!  That’s a record for the Dallas area.  By this time of year, it’s usually in the 60s or 70s (which I would love) but it’s freezing outside!

The kids love it so we went out with our little ones and our wonderful neighbors that we adore so much. (Come home Dan….come home!!)  We played in the snow for a few hours and just had a good time.  After it was all over, we came inside to enjoy a nice cup of William Sonoma hot chocolate.  I love it!

Kim + James…real troopers!

Sometimes when you meet two people, you can just tell how in love they are. James and Kim are those people. The way they talk, look at each other, and hold hands just gushes with love! Larissa and I had a wonderful time at this photoshoot even though it was cold!! The photos don’t show because these two are real troopers…. About half way through the shoot, we had to stop for hot chocolate just to warm up! My fingers were so cold that I could hardly press the shutter button, so it was a welcomed resting spot for us as well.

We took a nice variety of shots in the city and at a nice little garden we have nearby, so we’re excited to show off these pics!

A few new books for weddings! – Dallas Wedding Photography

We really enjoy looking at pictures on the computer and various websites, but nothing is like seeing your work in actual print. It’s like all the hard work comes to life when you see an album, a 16×20 or any other high quality print in person. The colors, the clarity….ahhhh, it’s like an addiction! I hate giving away stuff to clients! I wish I could keep it all!

We wanted to offer our clients a few more albums and design a mini book to give away to prospective clients, so here you go! The albums are our lower end coffee table book and the small book is a just a little something to show off our work to prospective clients.

Another processing option!!

I’m kind of a processing addict when it comes to our pictures. I want every picture to be just right. Lighting, skin tones, you name it! I’m usually online browsing hundreds of pictures looking for aspects I like and dislike about each. The more I do this, the more I find my identity when taking pictures and fine tune my own processing.

There are so many options when processing a picture!! I love vibrant and clear pictures, I love the new black and white effect we made, but I wanted to come up with a cool, vintage like effect as well. We put together this new effect that I like to call “Vintage Blue”.

Mr. Brett Maxwell, an awesome Michigan Photographer, likes to see before and after shots, so this is just for him. In the pic below, A is Vibrant and Clear and B is Vintage Blue. I love them both but it gives us another option that we really like! This will look awesome on our new Wedding Photos!

So, what do you think? – Dallas Wedding Photography

I love black and white images, but I have a hard time taking our beautiful, vibrant, color pictures and making them black and white. So…that got me to thinking.  Maybe I just haven’t spent enough time coming up with a black and white process to take advantage of the colors and contrast in the color pictures I love so much!

I spent the last few days playing around with black & white conversions.  High contrast, noisy, bright, dark, you name it! After all that, this is my favorite that I settled on.  Like it?

The Lee Girls + Jeff :)

We met Jeff and Andrea at Dan & MacKensie’s Los Cabos Wedding last fall and had a really good time! After the wedding, we all jumped in the pool and we got to spend a little time together. When they let us know they wanted us to do their family pictures, we were all over it. Their girls are beautiful and the family just looks good! :) Here’s our faves!

The Kibodeaux Family!

We’ve been planning to do this photo shoot with Melanie and Eric for months because we knew this is the only time the ENTIRE family is in town!! The kids are growing up and Christmas is one of the few times to get a family picture so we were happy the weather cooperated. It rained all week and then right at photo shoot time, the skies cleared up. I told Eric he must be doing something right in life…lol. We really enjoyed spending a couple of hours with this family getting some wonderful family portraits. Check out a few of our favorites!
