Christi & Ari’s Mira Vista Wedding {Sneak Peek} | Wedding Photographer

Chavvon — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 22:21:48 +0000

Christi and Ari had the most amazing wedding this weekend and their pictures turned out awesome! The location was just perfect and the day went flawlessly! Everything from the magnificent home where the wedding was held to the beautiful flower balls and Fort Worth Community Art Center reception was just perfect!

We had an amazing time getting to know all of the family and friends and these two are blessed to have such a great group of people surrounding them. Check back soon to see the whole wedding!

Sneak Peek: Dan + Katie E-Session

Chavvon — Sat, 15 May 2010 03:34:32 +0000

We’ve been watching the weather all week praying that the rain stayed away for just 2 hours to photograph this wonderful couple! The forecast has been against us with 60% + thunderstorm predictions. Against all odds, we decided to just commit to our engagement session and hope for the best ;)

Katie & Dan must be living right because we had exactly 2.5 hours this morning to complete our photo session before the storms came rolling through! Here’s a sneak peek from the day with many more to come!

Chatelain Family: Ethan’s 6mos old!

Chavvon — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 22:44:19 +0000

Ethan is turning 6 months old so Wayne and Connie wanted to take out the whole family to get some nice pictures. The weather has been beautiful so we thought bluebonnets would be nice, but where are the bluebonnets this year! We’re usually overflowing with them and we can hardly find a patch this year. Oh well, on to plan B :)

We have a beautiful botanical garden in our neck of the woods so we thought it would be a wonderful location to take the Chatelain family. The tulips are growing quite nicely and the weather was nice and cool. We had a lovely time talking with Wayne and Connie while we waited for Ethan to cooperate. He was quite needy for his apple juice…lol. Once he cooled off and his tummy was filled to the rim, we had a good time.

Here are our favorites! Happy 1/2 Birthday Ethan!

Barnett Boys – Grapevine Children’s Photography

Chavvon — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 18:37:10 +0000

We’ve known Doug for a long time, so when Desiree contacted us about taking pictures of their boys it was pretty cool. They live in Houston so we’ve been trying to coordinate for a long time to make this happen. A few weeks ago Desiree let us know that they’d be in town for spring break so that was perfect for us to do the shoot!

We always send a questionnaire to our clients and one of the questions is “what really gets your kids excited”. For these two, the answers were football, candy, and dancing! woohooo! Those are our kind of kids :) The boys warmed up to us pretty quickly and the first pic in the blog is the very first pic of the day!

See our favorites below!

Kim + James…real troopers! | Wedding Photographer

Chavvon — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:23:12 +0000

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!

This is where we had to stop for a little break….the pastries at this bakery look soooo good. But I resisted!!

A few new books for weddings! – Dallas Texas Wedding Photographer

Chavvon — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 22:56:57 +0000

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!! | Dallas, TX Wedding Photographer

Chavvon — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:14:49 +0000

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!

The Lee Girls + Jeff :) | Family Portraits

Larissa — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 17:01:53 +0000

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! | Dallas Texas Wedding Photographer

Larissa — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 16:09:09 +0000

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!
