Lauren definitely falls in that category for me.  They also have the sweetest little baby girl, Life, who wanted to be in some photos too.  If you haven’t seen Lauren’s work you must go check it out before you continue with this post…those are the rules. http://www.laurenlarsen.com

I shot the bridal of one of Natalie’s friends as well as a wedding of another last year.  From the moment I met Mark & Natalie at Starbucks for our first client meeting I knew they were going to be so much fun to work with.  They are really easy going and they love to laugh.  I can’t wait to shoot Natalie’s bridals and their wedding day this year! We shot this in and around the Hotel Adolphus in downtown Dallas.
Ps. They love their dog.

She is a nurse, he is a pilot. They are both AWESOME. My favorite thing about my job is when my clients become my friends. We are friends. I like it. This is their engagement session we took a while back. Their wedding shall follow soon on the blog.

WARNING: Kelly’s modeling skills will blow your mind.  She is a natural in front of the camera and between her skills and some props she brought we got some of my favorite portraits to date. Enjoy:

We thought we’d take advantage of the snow. This was mostly Eric’s shoot and I was just tagging along, and as a photographer I know that we rarely get our photo taken, so I made it a point to try to get some photos of Eric in action.  These are more or less just b-roll and behind the scenes photos. It was fun. We were soaked by the end of it.

Hope to see you at a show!
