Shootcrew Dallas
And that's a wrap on the second Shootcrew Dallas meetup! It was such a blast, and working with Danielle Wilcox of Dani Raye Makeup and Gabriella Wisdom was a dream. Can't wait for the next one!
Elizabeth "Ella" Claire Dowling
Last year on my birthday, we received a text from the Dowlings saying they were on their way to the hospital to welcome Elizabeth Claire Dowling into the world a little more than a month early. Selfishly, my first thought was, "I already have to compete with Christmas and now a baby?? Christmas: 1, Baby: 1, Me: 0."
What a difference a year makes
So if you follow me on instagram, I mentioned a few days ago that I like setting goals for the new year. My photography goals last year were to find my photography style (or at least make my work look more cohesive) and to shoot in manual for an entire year. Today, I finally sat down to look at my work from a year ago.
Haylie Stephens
I had my batteries charged, memory cards ready, bag packed, and map in hand. And I still somehow managed to leave the house late. When I got to the park where I'd be meeting Lexi Gregory for Haylie's senior session, I was so relieved that I'd made it in time! Except I made it to the wrong part of the park.
Mary Arellano
This was the first styled shoot I participated in, and it was so fun! I met some sweet new friends, got to work with an incredibly talented model, and waded in a river in my rain boots. I'd say it was a pretty successful day!

Courtney Dowling Law
The past few weeks, I have been working away on a beautiful new website for my dear friend, Mrs. Courtney Dowling. Courtney and I met through church almost two years ago, and let me tell you she's a force to be reckoned with (which is exactly what you want in a defense attorney).

Saoirse - 6 months
You guys. Puppies are hard work!! Saoirse is now 6.5 months old and 62 pounds. It feels like we just got her and like we've had her forever at the same time. I don't remember what it feels like to sleep past 7, have clean floors, or travel without thinking about puppy plans. I know that I can never go back though.
