Girls in White Dresses

noreply@blogger.com (2 Angels Photography) — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 16:25:00 +0000

I met up with Little Miss "H" this morning. We played around for a little bit capturing a few Easter images for Grandma. This sweet session lasted a very short time. Miss "H" had better things to do with her time this morning than to model and wear bows, but my goodness, we used our time wisely and grabbed a few wonderful images.

If you would like a quick-like-a-bunny Easter session, let me know!

Enjoy the sneak peeks.

Tyler and Kim

noreply@blogger.com (2 Angels Photography) — Thu, 22 Mar 2012 19:46:00 +0000

I have another adorable couple on the blog today. Meet Kim and Tyler. These two lovebirds will be getting married this summer-I can't wait for the wedding!

When Kim told me we were going to go out into the middle of no-where and shoot she wasn't kidding! I have no idea how we got to this location, and no idea how we got back, but it was packed full of awesome places to shoot-including an old rusted out car that Kim is convinced may have a corpse in the trunk, and an old abandoned house that may or may not have a bobcat living in it. I have never said this job was 100% safe, but hey, that is what makes it fun!

It was a very windy day out on the ranch, but we managed to get some wonderful moments with these two. We weren't able to get the trunk of Bonnie and Clyde's car open to see if there was hidden money or a corpse in it, but we can save that for the Bridals.

Enjoy!

Congrats Kim and Tyler!

2012 Senior Representative

noreply@blogger.com (2 Angels Photography) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 19:59:00 +0000

Every year, I choose one graduating Senior to be the 2 Angels Photography Senior representative. They will get a free shoot, opportunities to earn free prints, and highly coveted discount cards for his friends. This year the Senior rep is Caleb Weaverling!

I have known Caleb his entire life! When he was just a little boy he would flirt with me by telling me that he wore cologne just for me, or he would wink at me, or he would tell me he wore his woman catching boots today. He is all grown up now and will be graduating from Greenwood High School this year. Caleb is the son of Christie and Boyd Weaverling. He active in band and his youth group at Greenwood Baptist Church. He is a great kid, and I had the best time catching up with his wonderful family.

Congratulations Caleb, and great job Christie and Boyd, you should be very proud!

Sneak Peek-The Dickie Family

noreply@blogger.com (2 Angels Photography) — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 19:49:00 +0000

I was recently invited out to the Dickie Family Ranch to shoot some portraits for Christmas. I was so excited when Laurie called and mentioned that they wanted something with horses. It is my secret desire to be a cowgirl when I grow up, and I simply love being around horses.

We didn't spend alot of time with the horses, but we certainly did get to see alot of horsing around from her very handsome boys. I had a blast with this family!

I hope you enjoy these sneak peeks of the Dickie family!

Have a GREAT Day!

Sweet Daniela

noreply@blogger.com (2 Angels Photography) — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 20:49:00 +0000

Daniela came by the studio for a beautiful "Celebrating You" session, and she is the sweetest girl both inside and out! I was amazed to hear all of her plans for the future, and I feel honored to know her now!

Here are a few quick sneak peeks from her session. BTW-These are practically untouched images! Isn't she stunning?!!!

What is the most asked question I get as a photographer?

noreply@blogger.com (2 Angels Photography) — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:34:00 +0000

“Can you make me look twenty years younger, and Photoshop out my wrinkles?”

I get this question every single day from both men and women alike. The truth is, I can! I have the ability to turn a beautiful 55 year old woman into a stunning 25 year old. Just having that ability at the tips of my fingers makes me feel powerful. I feel as if I could save the world, one wrinkle at a time.

The question isn't something that I get tired of hearing. We all want to look our best at all times, and for something that is going to hang on the wall for generations to come, we definitely want to look our best. The truth of the matter though is that I don't want to, and neither should you!

Don't get me wrong, I am as vain as the next person. Awhile ago I noticed a few lines showing up around my mouth. I was very disturbed, and wanted them to go away. My son walked in while I was staring at the mirror and showed me a test he had made a 100 on in school. Staring at myself while I said, “That is great Michael, I am so proud of you!” I noticed that the lines were deeper as I spoke. I realized that who I am and what I say had made those lines, and if I erased them completely, it would be like erasing all of the, “I love yous" and “great jobs" right from my mouth. I couldn't bear that thought. The lines around my eyes crease when I smile at my husband and kids, and the furrow of my brow gets worse when I am worrying about my children, and crying over proud and sad moments. I get more lines around my eyes every single time I smile or laugh. Those make me who I am, they are the map of where my life has been, and they are souvenirs of the joys I have experienced. I don't want to erase everything that makes me special, and everything that tells my story.

So the next time I am asked this question, how am I going to answer?

I'm going to soften you up, I'm going to pose you and light you so that you look amazing. I'm going to airbrush that pimple from your nose, and brighten up your eyes. You are going to look great, just the way you are. I am going to photograph you so that all of your souvenirs are showcased their best, because those little wrinkles were hard earned and should be celebrated.

Now-go make some laugh lines happen,

Backyard Fall Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (2 Angels Photography) — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 20:04:00 +0000

It is a VERY busy Monday here, but I just wanted to throw up a sneak peek of the wedding of Grace and Terry Gage. This beautiful couple was married in a sweet outdoor backyard ceremony surrounded by friends and family. It was short and sweet and nothing but perfect!

A fresh start!

noreply@blogger.com (2 Angels Photography) — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 19:43:00 +0000

Courtney came by the studio to have some new portraits made just before she moves to Frisco, Tx. She is making a fresh start in life and I am excited to see where her new life takes her!

Have a great time in Frisco Courtney, you are going to do great!

A Classic Texas Wedding-Mr. and Mrs. Medlin

noreply@blogger.com (2 Angels Photography) — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 19:15:00 +0000

It is no secret that I love weddings. The good stuff and the bad stuff, I love navigating my way through a wedding day. I have been shooting weddings consistently for over 8 years now, and every single one of them has it's own chemistry-it is my job to find that chemistry and capture it as I see it. The wedding of Jessi Welch and Kristopher Medlin was no different.

This wedding took place on a sprawling West Texas Ranch. The decor of yellow and white daisies in mason jars, hand carved wooden love birds, and an authentic family owned Chuck Wagon set the tone for the day. As I drove up with every piece of lighting and shooting gear I currently own, I quickly realized that all I was going to need today was my camera, a lens, and a Kleenex to dry my tears. No amount of gear was going to trump the fabulous light and love that God had provided for this wedding-because this wasn't an ordinary wedding-it was a joining of a family, surrounded by family. It was a classic Texas Cowboy wedding.

There is something so free about shooting unencumbered with a ton of gear and technical issues to think about, and I was able to go back to my photojournalism roots to capture the wonderful moments of this day. It reminded me of where I started and to take time to really enjoy why I do what I do.

The pictures below are just a few random moments from the day. Un-edited but for a few Black and white conversions, they radiate the calm, organic feeling of the day. One of my favorites so far.
Thank you Jessi and Kristopher for allowing me to "hang out" at your wedding.

Richardson-Renfro Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (2 Angels Photography) — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 18:09:00 +0000

I have written and re-written this blog post many times. It is hard to say what I would love to say about this beautiful event. The flowers, dresses, and music were all just wonderful, the groom handsome and the bride was breathtaking in her beautiful beaded Casablanca gown.

It was a wonderful day full of celebration of the joyous love that Amanda and Jaret have for one another, but it was a bittersweet day for all of them. Amanda's uncle passed after a hard battle with cancer the morning of the wedding. The day was filled with both tears of joy and sadness.

Amanda loved her uncle, and I witnessed such amazing love within this family. Love for the bride, love for the groom, love for the uncle who was most surely there in spirit, walking her down the aisle, handing her over to the loving groom and watching her take her vows. He was there.

The bridal party was the most supportive, loving, and crazy party I have ever encountered, and they reminded me of how lucky I am that people allow me to peer into these moments and capture them forever. Thank you all for that opportunity.

Amanda and Jaret, Thank you for allowing me to be with you one the most important day in your love story. It is truly a day I will never forget.

Lori Parker and Michael Cast-Tie the Knot

noreply@blogger.com (2 Angels Photography) — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 23:54:00 +0000

Michael and Lori were married at The Shack in the Back-one of my favorite Midland venues, and although it was HOT everyone managed to have a great time. Here are a few of my favorite images from the day. Congratulations Michael and Lori!

Lori's Bridal session

noreply@blogger.com (2 Angels Photography) — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 14:55:00 +0000

This past weekend I had the honor of shooting the wedding of the newly minted Mr. and Mrs. Michael Cast. It was a very very hot day outside, but this beautiful couple stayed cool and calm-even during the ceremony when the wedding arch was blown down by the wind. They just giggled. I don't think Michael even noticed, he was too busy staring at his STUNNING bride Lori.

I am working on sneak peeks of the wedding, but first I wanted to show you some of the bridal portraits that we shot a few months ago. Congratulations Lori and Michael-you throw one heck of a party!

Little Miss "H"

noreply@blogger.com (2 Angels Photography) — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 17:15:00 +0000

A sweet little glamor girl visited the studio today-loaded down with wonderful outfits and hats! OH MY GOODNESS-she is too beautiful! Miss "H" wasn't too sure about modeling today, but she was great once she found the big green test button on my light box. I am thinking this glamor girl might be an electrical engineer when she grows up :) Here are a few quick pick from her session.

Hope you all have a GREAT day!

Edwards Clan-A Growing Family

noreply@blogger.com (2 Angels Photography) — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 19:41:00 +0000

A couple of my favorite images from a recent family shoot. This shoot was taken on the hottest day of the year-outside-at 5:30 PM! It was a challenge, and we only had a short amount of time before we all had a literal meltdown, but I was able to get some great images. This is the second shoot I have had with these beautiful girls, and I am so honored to have had the opportunity to watch them grow-one of them was just a few days old when I last saw her! Imagine my surprise when a walking talking 2 year old got out of the car, and then a new little sister added to the mix! I love watching families grow!

Thank you so much, Janice for calling me to make additions to your wall collection! Your family is truly blessed!

Hope everyone is having a GREAT summer!

First babies at The Cloud!

noreply@blogger.com (2 Angels Photography) — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 16:48:00 +0000

It has been forever since I blogged! I didn't mean to forget to feed the blog, I have just been VERY busy! The studio is coming along nicely, I have been working very hard to get everything ready. I have such a vision for this place and I cannot wait to show you all of the amazing things that will happen here.

I do want to take a minute to show off some of the sweet babies that have already visited me here at The Cloud. I am not completely set up yet, but they braved through the remodel project to get some portraits made. I am so excited to show them off to you!

Little Mr. Ian is the son of Trisha and Ken Weatherford, and this tiny little peanut was simply yummy and sweet. Here are a few pictures of his session

Sweet Lady Isabel-Lady Is for short, came to play with me the other day. She was nearly 9 POUNDS when she was born, but I am sure her parents David and Jennifer Odom will agree that she is worth every single pound of it. Lady Is IS special because I have been there for nearly every major milestone in her parents relationship-earning me the name of "Charlotte-I was there-Dameron", and YES I was there at the hospital when she was born. Sweet times with wonderful friends. Her is Lady Is in her first fashion shoot :)

I have so much more to share with you including a beautiful family shoot, some sweet twins, and the upcoming wedding season! I have been so blessed this year, and can't wait to share it all with you!

Have a GREAT Day!!

David and Hallye are two incredibly sweet souls! You just cant help but feel the love these two radiate. I am so honored to have been a part of their special day. It was an extra special day because Hallye's Grandparents were married 51 years ago on the same date!

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Barnett here is to at LEAST 51 years of love and laughter.

Tyson

noreply@blogger.com (2 Angels Photography) — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 03:21:00 +0000

This post should be about how beautiful this little couple (Sarah and Bryan) are, but I can't help but giggle every time I look at Tyson-he is the rottweiler, and I fell in love with him. He was cuddly and sweet and I wanted him for my own. I thought I would share his cuteness with you! Sarah and Bryan aren't too hard to look at either :)

Enjoy!

How very DRAMATIC

noreply@blogger.com (2 Angels Photography) — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 16:26:00 +0000

Mr. and Mrs. "N" are MARRIED!!!!!!

I had an entire blog post written to describe this dramatically beautiful event, but no words can say what the day felt like better than the words that Marcy picked out for her own ceremony:

Time in a bottle-Jim Croce

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
Till Eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then,
Again, I would spend them with you

But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do
Once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go
Through time with

If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory
Of how they were answered by you

All of the guys wore converse! I want to find some sparkly black or red converse to shoot weddings in!

Marcy and I share a love for shoes-she totally ROCKED these!

A special handkerchief was her "something old". I simply love embroidered hankies.

Her dress was simply stunning

The mustache theme was RAMPANT! LOL

There is a long story behind this picture, but lets just say the church lady was NOT happy that I had the guys put their feet on the pews, while I respect the rules of the church, sometimes you just have to ask forgiveness rather than permission :)

The nephew of the bride Mr. "W"

Little Miss "M" otherwise known ad "Princess M"

Jeff couldn't keep his eyes or lips off of his stunning bride

They just couldn't stop staring at each other

I had to separate them! :)

But not for long because she slammed him up against the wall and they started making out!

More making out!

Congratulations Marcy and Jeff!

How SWEET it is to be Loved by you!

noreply@blogger.com (2 Angels Photography) — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 19:45:00 +0000
