New Blog! New Studio!

Thanks for coming over to the new blog / site! I’m excited to have everything anyone needs all in one place instead of going between the blog and main site. The old blog was great, but it’s time to move on. Sorry old blog.

And with a new blog also comes a new studio! We are finally (mostly) settled in the Ft. Worth Studio. I’ve already had a few sessions & consults here, it’s been fabulous!

Rachel & Adam are awesome. Their wedding was awesome. Bri from Blue Lotus did an awesome job on the flowers. Elizabeth from After Yes Weddings was an awesome coordinator. Three Points Ranch is the most awesome venue ever. My second shooter, Stacey from Simple Moments, was awesome. Overall, everything was just awesome!

And what makes it “awesomER”? Being featured on Style Me Pretty!!!! Be sure to head on over to their site to read Rachel & Adam’s story – and to get more awesome wedding ideas.

Here’s a few more images from the day – enjoy!

Bass Hall Bridal Show 2008

We recently did our first bridal show & had a blast! Thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth, I look forward to chatting with you! I had a wedding the same afternoon, so two awesome gals – Casey & Becca – worked the both for us. Thank you so much, we couldn’t have done it without you two! I also have to thank my wonderful husband for building the amazing walls you see below. As with most construction projects, we thought it would take one afternoon & it ended up taking much much longer, but he didn’t complain (much anyway – ha ha ha). Love you!

Brides.com

We were really excited to hear from Brianne & Trey that their wedding was selected to be featured on brides.com!!!:-)Brianne and Becca from A Stylish Soiree did an awesome job putting together a memorable event. They are a wonderful couple and we are so happy for them! Go here to check out the article…

Artistic Guild of the WPJA

We were excited to see that one of my recent bridal images won 5th place in the Artistic Guild of the WPJA!!! It was the first time I entered any images in this contest, so it’s awesome to get recognized!:-)To see all the other great winning images, go here.

Our new site is live!!!!


I’m so excited to show off our new site! It’s been awhile since I’ve updated it, so a new one is long over due.:-)Thanks to everyone who gave us suggestions on what they’d like us to incorporate into it and thanks a million to Kari (who owns Kari & Co) who helped me code everything and make it happen. To any photographers – if you need a new site, she’s the gal to go to! Check it out and let me know what you think!

We placed…

in the most recent WPJA contest – 10th in the “Reception Ambiance” category with this shot from Laura & David’s wedding. It’s always great when an image gets recognized by such a great organization – I can’t wait until the next contest!

We’re famous!!!!

Well, not really – but I did get interviewed for the most recent issue of WedPix Magazine, an online magazine for brides and photographers put together by the WPJA. I think I sound kind of dorky, but I was really excited to be included – I guess I need to brush up on my interview skills – ha ha ha.Here’s the whole article if you’d like to read it!

LIFE • ART • WORK


As most of you know, until recently I was working as a designer at Fossil (yes, the watches:-). While I was still there, a few other designers and photographers came up with the idea to hold an art show, featuring all of the great work that all of us do away from Fossil – I was on the committee to help organize everything, but ended up quitting to focus on Engaged Studio before it was all finalized. Everyone was super nice about it though, & are still letting me exhibit a couple of photography pieces at the show! If you are in the Plano area anytime in May, feel free to stop by to see everyone’s awesome talents! The opening is this Friday – I’d love to see some of you there!

The newest WJPA contest results

Sandy & Garrett put together a gorgeous wedding, and they were a blast to photograph. I fell in love with this image the first time I saw it after staying up late the night of the wedding to download all of our memory cards – apparently the judges for WPJA agreed!:-)Thanks so much for letting us capture your day for you!

To see the rest off all the great winning images, go here.

The windows at the Texas Discover Gardens presented the perfect frame for this shot during Malissa & Saadallah’s cake cutting.


Jenna didn’t mind her dress not having any pockets – they found a perfect spot for their wad of dollar dance cash.:-)Love it!


Jeff and I had to travel all the way to Italy for this shot, but it was completely worth it! Alyssa & Kurt put together one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve ever seen.
