VOOS - KLATT WEDDING

2009-01-16T16:54:00.004-06:00

Hey now these are just the coolest people we know. This wedding was more fun than a Tech Victory over OU. Listen Brooke and Nathan are the kindest most genuine people you will likely ever meet. Starting their new life in Hale Center of all places. We will miss having you guys around, but we consider it a real privilege to be your photographers and your friends.

CHRISTMAS JUST KEEPS COMING....

2009-01-16T09:48:00.002-06:00

THE REAL VOOS BRIDAL

2009-01-12T11:14:00.007-06:00

Sorry Domi jumped the gun with the bridal pics. I am correcting this egregious error. After having to hide these great images for a couple of months it is great to finally get to show everyone how beautiful (and extremely cool I might add) Brooke is. The wedding was awesome. You guys are the best. Live long and prosper.

VOOS BRIDAL

2009-01-12T08:54:00.004-06:00

Well finally! We get to blog Brooke's bridal. Brooke and Nathan got married Saturday and it was AMAZING!!! We had so much fun. I'll talk more about that when we blog their wedding pics. Back to her bridal... I can't say enough about Brooke. Not only is she gorgeous, fun, down to earth and just plain silly, she has become such a good friend of mine. She helped me get things ready for the Bella's Bridal show and we had a blast! Thanks Brooke for coming into my life. You are a true blessing! I hope you guys have a great time in Jamaica man! I'll talk to you when you guys get back! Love you!

MIDLAND BRIDAL SHOW

2009-01-05T20:35:00.006-06:00

It NEVER takes me more than a day to blog but I've been swamped!!! We had our show in Midland yesterday and it was a HUGE success. Everyone was soooo complimentary of our work. It was very exciting. I can't wait to visit with all our new brides!

Tim, Barry and I walked around as soon as we set up our booth and saw another booth that had some of OUR PICTURES on her display. That was sooo weird. She was a florists out of Big Spring that had bought some pictures from a wedding we did and used them to display her work. We were sooooo flattered!!!

BROOKE AND NATHAN WEDDING SLIDESHOW

NOAH AND NATE

2009-01-03T12:34:00.004-06:00

Noah and Nate are my husband's little nephews from Austin. We don't get to see them very much but when we do... it's a lot of fun. We took them to Mr. Gatti's and Toys R Us the other night and had a BALL. They are a complete MESS! They were leaving early this morning so I wanted to take some pictures of them before they did, so between my 150 things on my list yesterday, I found a minute to go take some pictures of these guys. Even though I couldn't get them to stay still, I think I ended up with some keepers. This was definitely the shortest photo shoot in the history of Captivated... 10 MINUTES!

BELLA'S BRIDAL AND PROM SHOW!!!

2009-01-03T09:41:00.005-06:00

Wow... it came and went in a flash! We worked soooo hard help getting this show together and it turned out great! All my models were absolutely GORGEOUS and I want to thank each and every one of them for taking time out of their schedules to help us out!

NEW YEAR'S AT THE LARSON'S!

2009-01-01T11:07:00.004-06:00

Sharla is my very best friend in the whole world and we have spent the last 15 plus new year's together (with the exception of 1 or 2) with our family and seeing our kids there last night just amazed me of how time flies and how blessed we are to have such great families and friends. Thank you all for being in my life and making my life so joyful and fulfilled. I love you all!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

2009-01-01T11:02:00.003-06:00

BEAUTIFUL BALLERINA LACI!!

2008-12-30T09:32:00.005-06:00

I've known Laci for YEARS... her brother, Lance, and Hunter have played baseball together since they were in t-ball. Laci attends a ballet school in Utah and is just breathtaking to watch. I remember going to see Laci when she danced in the Nutcracker with Ballet of Lubbock. She is an incredible dancer and I was honored to take these photos.

BEAUTIFUL SARAH!!!

2008-12-30T09:26:00.004-06:00

If you'll remember... Sarah was one of my seniors for 2008 who absolutely cannot take a bad picture. Her brother, David, graduated with my nephew at Frenship and who knows plays for the New England Patriots. I actually saw him play for the first time the other day. Sarah is also modeling for me on Friday at Bella's so we took one of Bella's prom gowns out to play and added a few more outfits! Had a blast Sarah... thank you!!!

COOL FRAME!!!

2008-12-22T09:35:00.002-06:00

I fought with my sister-in-law over this cool frame I found at Hobby Lobby (for 1/2 off I might add) and I WON! Wasn't sure what I would put it in but Donna thought our wedding pictures. Our wedding day was on the beach at night and was BEFORE digital came along so the pictures weren't that great... Tim and I were sooooooooo dark from being on the beach all week before we got married that you can BARELY SEE US!!!

OUR NEW BROCHURES!!!!!

2008-12-22T07:26:00.003-06:00

LAMONTAGNE CHRISTMAS AT THE LAKE HOUSE!

2008-12-20T12:27:00.005-06:00

We had an early Christmas with my family at Steve's place at the lake. I cooked two lasagna's (which were scrumptious by the way) and had lots of goodies to go with it. We had a WONDERFUL time!!! I love you guys VERY much.

MORE OF COURTNEY & ADDIE

2008-12-19T08:52:00.004-06:00

I don't get to see my little baby girls very often. My brother and his family live in Corpus so when I do see them, we take lots and lots and lots of pictures!!! Here are just a few from yesterday. Today we're headed out to the lake for an early family Christmas and I'm going to take some more of them with the sweaters I bought them! Stay tuned....

LOOK WHAT I GOT FOR CHRISTMAS

2008-12-18T12:12:00.003-06:00

My niece, Courtney, is learning to write all sorts of things, so she made this great Christmas present and I will cherish this FOREVER. Then... Barry got me a new strap for my camera and YES those are peace signs. I'm such a peace sign junkie... Thanks Barry. I absolutely LOVE IT!

ADDIE AND COURTNEY

2008-12-18T08:53:00.002-06:00

While Kailey was changing back in to her regular clothes, the girls decided to try on her veil and help Uncle Steve finish decorating his tree! Thanks girls. You guys were a big help. Love you!

KAILEY IN HER MOM'S WEDDING DRESS....

2008-12-18T08:44:00.005-06:00

When Kailey said her Mom was going to cut up her wedding dress to make something for Kailey, I was like WAIT... let's take some pictures with you in it first!!! With the help of my little nieces, Addie and Courtney, we went out and had a GREAT time... I'm just sorry Kathy couldn't be here for the shoot. Kailey's Mom is a teacher in Andrews and couldn't get off in time to meet us for the shoot. A funny thing happened while we were taking pictures... a couple stopped to check us out and thought we were having a RED NECK WEDDING! hahaha... we got a big kick out of that!

GOING TO SEE MADAGASCAR!!!

2008-12-17T11:50:00.002-06:00

I haven't had a DAY OFF since my girls trip in Kerrville back in September! I'm taking a few hours off to take my nieces to see Madagascar!!! Then we're off to a shoot after that and Courtney and Addie are going to help me!!!

CANNON KIDDOS!

2008-12-17T09:13:00.006-06:00

CONGRATS MATT! These three kids are awesome and your Mom and Dad are going to love these pics for Christmas!!! Thanks guys!

WEEK OF FAMILY...

2008-12-16T17:46:00.005-06:00

You'll be seeing lots of pics of my family this week... My brother and his family from Corpus just came in today and I shot my niece and nephew from my other brother this morning (along with Erin a family friend). They wanted to get my brother and their mom a really cool picture so we went and FROZE TO DEATH this morning. It was LITERALLY 23 degrees when I was shooting these pictures. Needless to say, I shot as fast as I could!!! Love you guys!

DOMI DEFIES THE LAWS OF PHYSICS

2008-12-15T17:15:00.002-06:00

Here she is on a recent shoot showing her ability to lay right up against an electric fence with absolutely no ill effects whatsoever! Yes folks this is the Amazing Domi. OK, OK I just occasionally get really cute pics of our hero and thought I might share one with everybody. She will probably kill me when she sees this. :)

BACK STAGE AT THE NUTCRACKER...

2008-12-14T02:05:00.008-06:00

When my friend, Lisa, called and said she had an extra ticket to the Ballet... I jumped on it!!! Lisa is also the President of Ballet Lubbock so we had access to back stage. Being an ex-dancer myself, it was quite a treat for me. Lisa's daughter, Faith, also dances for Ballet Lubbock (and VERY TALENTED)and if you'll remember we took her pictures a few months back. Too bad I wasn't allowed to take pictures of the ballet because it was absolutely GORGEOUS. Also, my favorite attorney, Les Hatch's, daughter Bonnie played the main character. She was INCREDIBLE! The dancers from New York were absolutely breath taking. Thanks Lisa! Had a great time.

CLINT & COLE

2008-12-13T16:53:00.004-06:00

Clint and Cole belong to Tara and Bub Shobert. Tara is one of my very best friends and when she said she wanted some pics of the boys to send out to her family in California, I couldn't wait to shoot the boys. Clint is following in his Dad's footsteps and is pursuing a career in racing motorcycles. I can't wait to go to one of his races... Had a blast guys!!!

BEST FRIENDS FOREVER... (BFF'S)

2008-12-13T10:15:00.005-06:00

this was a FUN FUN FUN BFF shoot with two great friends that have been best friends forever... We had a great time and they got to be silly silly silly... it was a lot of fun. Thanks girls!

CADE - FHS SENIOR

2008-12-09T17:08:00.006-06:00

Cade is another one of my boys from Frenship. His Mom Lisa is a good friend of mine. When she decided to do Cade's pics now instead of after the first of the year I was sooo excited because I knew we would be able to get some awesome pics! Cade is one of the most photogenic kids I know. He can work that camera like no other... We had a blast driving all over the place! Love you guys!

HOWELL FAMILY...

2008-12-09T16:51:00.006-06:00

Well it's not actually the "Howell" family as only Kailey and her parents and brother are the Howell's but their the one's I know. Kailey is one of our brides and have to say one of my favorite people I've ever met. Kailey her mom, Kathy, are from Andrews and we have just hit it off with them so well. They are sooo much fun. Kathy, Kailey and I are actually going to take some pics this week with Kailey in her mom's dress. I'm soooo excited!!! It doesn't quite fit Kailey but we're gonna have some fun nonetheless... Thanks for a fun afternoon guys!

LANDON - ROPESVILLE SENIOR

2008-12-08T22:27:00.005-06:00

CONGRATS FRENSHIP BASKETBALL!!!!

2008-12-08T07:25:00.004-06:00

Congrats to my basketball boys of FHS. They won the Gene Messer Shootout tournament. I wasn't able to attend the game because I had other shoots scheduled but heard it was a nail biter. I believe they ended up playing El Paso and won by 1 pt. WHAT A GAME!!!! I will definitely be back for more pics though!!! I sure miss Hunter playing basketball.

MY BROTHER, STEVE, AND TINA...

2008-12-07T12:36:00.005-06:00

My brother had a Christmas party at his house yesterday and I finally talked him into taking some pictures with his girlfriend, Tina. He gave me a total of 10 minutes and I think I got some good one's!

CONGRATULATIONS FHS TIGERS! GREAT YEAR!!!!

2008-12-07T12:29:00.004-06:00

I finally got to get some pictures of Hunter and the bell crew. FHS Tigers played at Jones Stadium yesterday and what started out as a butt kickin' quickly turned into a really good game and we ended up losing by 2 pts. to Denton. I believe the record ended up being 14-1. Great year Tigers! Also, congratulations to the basketball team for winning the Gene Messer Shootout tournament!!! Way to go guys!

RAITER'S CHRISTMAS PROGRAM AT LAKERIDGE UNITED METHODIST!

2008-12-04T21:30:00.002-06:00

FINISHED MY CHRISTMAS DECORATING....

2008-12-04T17:24:00.004-06:00

This is the first year that I can remember that I didn't have everything up the day after Thanksgiving... There just doesn't seem to be enough time in the day. I thought when I left Hund's office that I would have all kinds of time but seems like I just found more projects... Here are some of my pics from the house... WE WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY AND SAFE TIME DURING THE HOLIDAYS!!!

KALEE - FHS SENIOR

2008-12-04T12:21:00.005-06:00

This is little Miss Kalee... She's a senior at Frenship and is a Mom to Harley! Kalee is such an awesome young woman... She's always soooo upbeat and fun. We had such a great time going all over town! I met Kalee awhile back. She dates one of Hunter's baseball teammates (Bryson) and her and I immediately hit it off because we both always had our dogs at all the baseball games! Thanks Kalee!!!

ERIN - SENIOR

2008-12-03T15:21:00.004-06:00

Erin is another one of my girls from Frenship... Her and Hunter have been friends forever... She is one of the sweetest things EVER. I was a little worried that she would be really nervous doing her pictures but she did sooooo good!!! She was right at home with the modeling thang!!! Thanks Erin. Love you!!!

SELF PORTRAITS...

2008-12-03T12:59:00.003-06:00

Am I bored or what??? Anyone that knows me knows I hate pictures of myself! I had the day planned on getting out and finding every kid I could, and catch them playing in the leaves. Well, the weather is COLD AND WINDY so it was either play in the backyard or go to Walmart and get the rest of the groceries I missed when I got sick there the other day, or put up the Christmas tree! Now, I guess I'll have to run my errands while I wait on Barry to get me the posters I need for our Bella's gala! Stay tuned and I'll blog our fashion show with Bella's which is scheduled for January 2nd, then we're off to a show in Midland on the 4th!!

ASHLEE AND MATT'S NEW BABY, TANZIE!!!

2008-12-03T09:10:00.004-06:00

Ashlee is one our brides that came over to pick her up "save the date" cards and I told her she couldn't come over without bringing her new baby, Tanzie. Tanzie is a chiweenie!! She is sooooo cute and sooo playful. Roxey was good with her but Bella DID NOT LIKE HER AT ALL!! Bella doesn't like anyone taking attention away from her, but I was still able to get some great pics for Ashlee and Matt!!

TOYS FOR TOTS!!!!

2008-12-02T08:00:00.002-06:00

For every shoot Barry and I do in December we will donate an unwrapped toy to Toys for Tots in the our client's name!!! BOOK NOW!

TEXTURES... TEXTURES... AND MORE TEXTURES...

2008-12-02T07:35:00.005-06:00

I came home from running around yesterday morning (after getting sick in the Walmart parking lot) and laid in bed for a couple of hours trying to feel better... well, true to my personality no matter how bad I felt, I just couldn't lay there doing nothing so I got my laptop and started playing with textures on some of my pics... (running to the bathroom between editing time - ugh). One of my senior girls, Ashleigh came over and brought me some sprite and we went over some ideas for her Christmas cards. I hope I didn't get you sick Ash!!! Anyway, here are a few of my fav textures...

KELSIE AND HER COUSINS...

2008-11-28T19:54:00.005-06:00

Kelsie is one my sweet 16 girls from last year. She goes to Frenship with Hunter and her 4 BOY cousins were here for the holiday... Stacia, her mom, wanted some family pics of all the kids. Those boys cracked me up! The oldest boy, Blake, is a senior and I tried getting some seniors pics of him but he just didn't feel all that comfortable so... we just stuck to the family pics for the most part...

2 THANKSGIVINGS!!!

2008-11-27T21:30:00.005-06:00

We started our day at the Harmon's, pigged out, and looked through all the sale ads... TIMMY AND I WANT A WII!!!! After the Harmon's we went out to the lake to enjoy some time with my family!!! Got home in time to watch the end of the Dallas game and I finished editing my bride from yesterday and am just now finishing up for the day! HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!! WE ARE SOOO BLESSED AND SOOOOO THANKFUL FOR EVERYONE IN OUR LIVES...

MY BABY BOY IS A SENIOR!!!!!!! :(

2008-11-17T15:28:00.007-06:00

Well... I knew this day was coming and I knew I had to take these before we were swamped so... we spent the afternoon yesterday taking his senior pics... I did okay until I started going through all of our photo albums to pick out his growing up pictures for his senior album and YES I LOST IT... I know I know... it's only going to get worse... but here they are and yes I have tears in my eyes just typing this... :( I love you Hunter!

WHITNEY - SENIOR

2008-11-17T14:52:00.005-06:00

Whitney is a senior at Frenship and is a good friend of Hunter's so she tagged along with us when I took Hunter to do his senior pics. It was REALLY fun. Kept me from crying... thinking about losing my baby :( okay... back to Whitney... you'll remember we did Whitney's SWEET 16 pics early last year and she was our model when we got our new lights a few months ago... She does such a great job!! Thanks Whitney I had a blast!

SHARLA, MICHELLE AND I HOSTED A BABY SHOWER AT MY HOUSE!!!

2008-11-16T07:56:00.005-06:00

Our great friends, Patti and Rocky, are going to be grandparents!!!! I can't believe I have friends that are grandparents... UGH... anyway... we just had to host a shower for Stephanie and Jake. Check out the diaper cake that we made FROM SCRATCH!!! We were so proud of ourselves! Good luck Jake and Stephanie! Can't wait to take pics of Marley OH AND SORRY about the LOGA... (I misprinted the invitations and put Loga instead of Logan). One gift actually had LOGA on it... OOPS!!!!

TERRON - SENIOR

2008-11-12T10:13:00.009-06:00

I have known Terron since him and Hunter played t-ball together many many years ago... Angelyn and Barry went to high school together and Ang is Jamie's (Barry's wife) best friend. Needless to say we couldn't wait to do Terron's senior pics. Terron on the other hand... was not too happy about the shoot... he griped more than Hunter (if you can believe that!) We ended up with some great shots though!

PICNIC AT THE PARK...

2008-11-09T09:37:00.005-06:00

This is my favorite time of year... Timmy and I took the baby girls over to the park for an afternoon of R&R... We had such a good time. There was a guy there with his two frisbee dogs... They were sooo fun to watch. Meanwhile Bella was filling her belly with twigs and leaves (go figure...) then watched the ducks flying south...

BARRY'S SURGERY WAS A COMPLETE SUCCESS!!!

2008-11-07T07:17:00.001-06:00

BARRY made it through with flying colors!!! He's going to stay in Vegas until they take out his stitches next week! Then it's back to the grindstone. You should see his TO DO LIST!!! Thanks for everyone's prayers!!!

LAUREN a/k/a PEANUT....

2008-11-05T16:03:00.006-06:00

Peanut is the granddaughter of one of my very good friends, Diane. Unfortunately, they were in town for a death in their family (our thoughts and prayers are with their family). Since I'm never in town whenever Peanut comes to visit, we decided to go ahead and take a few pictures today. Isn't she adorable? She was soooo easy to shoot...

JUST A REMINDER.... :)

2008-11-03T21:16:00.002-06:00

KEEP BARRY IN YOUR PRAYERS THIS WEEK!!!

2008-11-03T06:19:00.003-06:00

BEAUTIFUL ALEX...

2008-11-01T10:03:00.005-05:00

Alex is Hunter's girlfriend and her dad's birthday was yesterday so her and I went out and took a few pics so she could give them to her dad. (wasn't that sweet???) Just like Alex... she waited until the VERY last minute so we couldn't go to too many places... so we went around the corner and shot a few... It was fun nonetheless... Love you!!!

Tara and I went out yesterday and just played. Tara graduated from Frenship this past year and is now on the pom squad at Tech and is studying to be a photographer. We decided to just go downtown and find some new places and just have fun shooting. I had a blast and the company was great. Thanks Tara!

LOOK WHAT I FOUND AT THE PUMPKIN PATCH!!!

2008-10-29T09:01:00.003-05:00

This is Lucy and Abbie. They belong to Kema and Kinsey Speed. We shot Kinsey's senior pictures this past year and when I saw that they bought pumpkin costumes for Lucy and Abbie, I just had to take some pics. We laughed so hard. These girls are the cutest pugs EVER!

ASHLEIGH & RYAN

2008-10-27T13:55:00.010-05:00

If you'll remember we just shot Ashleigh's senior pics awhile back. Ashleigh wanted us to shoot her and Ryan so they could send out Christmas cards. Once I found out Ryan had a dog that he wanted in the pics... of course I COULDN'T WAIT! His dog's name is Eighter... (8rrrrr). The cutest and sweetest lab EVER. We had a great time. Thanks guys!!

2008-10-27T07:39:00.005-05:00

Dana belongs to Jen and John... their very good friends of Rick and Kim. Jen actually works for Rick part time. We've been wanting to take pics of Dana and Brian but Brian's schedule is sooo busy we could never get together so we decided to just shoot Dana and then Brian showed up at the very end of our session!! Yeah! Had a great time guys!

SAYRE & RAITER

2008-10-26T13:37:00.004-05:00

Here are my two cutie patatooties... love love love taking pics of Sayre and Raiter... they are ALWAYS a handful and ALWAYS laughing and cutting up!! This time Tim was my assistant and we laughed so hard... Raiter was wearing his papa's cowboy hat and Sayre at Nanny's mirror and scarf... Then it was Sayre's turn to wear Papa's hat and then Raiter started running around singing " I'M A COWBOY... WITHOUT A HAT... I'M A COWBOY... WITHOUT A HAT... We laughed soooo hard! Love you stinkers!!

KATELYNN - SENIOR

2008-10-23T11:01:00.005-05:00

What a character Miss Katelynn is. We had so much fun on this shoot. My girl, Ashleigh, referred Katelynn to us and went on the shoot with us to make Katelynn more comfortable. It didn't take long for Katelynn to get right into the modeling mode and she did such a fabulous job. I was so excited about these pics of her. Thanks girls! We had a BLAST!!!

INTRODUCING CASH & SLADE BROOKS!!!!!

2008-10-21T17:05:00.003-05:00

Cash and Slade ARE FINALLY HERE!!!! It's been a long road for Michelle and David but one WELL WORTH IT! They were born this morning and the boys and momma are doing great! They are soooooo cute!!! I think Slade weighed 5.11 and Cash 5.7 (something like that). When things have slowed down a bit (yeah right....) I'll take some more pictures of the boys. (hopefully next week when Michelle is back home with them).

TAYLOR - SENIOR

2008-10-21T13:06:00.004-05:00

Taylor is a gorgeous thing that goes to Frenship. I was so excited when she called us and wanted pictures because she is absolutely gorgeous!! We had so much fun with her and her mom, Stacey. They both cracked us up all evening. I was also excited that her brother and Dad showed up with her motorcycle. We were hoping to get some pictures of her riding but it was still soooo muddy everywhere that we'll have to do those later but at least we got some on her motorcycle. She also has a Mastiff (HUGE DOG) that I'm dying to take pictures of so hopefully I can do that later. Thanks guys!

MY GIRL... KARA...

2008-10-20T15:44:00.003-05:00

If you'll remember Kara... she's "the daughter I never had". Her mom and I have been best friends for 20 years... Kara graduated from Coronado last year and I did her senior pics awhile back. Kara came over yesterday to hang out and we got a wild hair and decided to go play around this area... I don't think I can take a bad picture of Kara... she's soooo beautiful and fun to shoot... Had Fun... Love you!!

ASHLEIGH HUNT - SENIOR

2008-10-17T15:15:00.004-05:00

What can I say about Ashleigh??? (besides SHE'S GORGEOUS!!!). I went by and picked Ashleigh up and her Dad and brother drove the 4-wheeler and motorcycle over by their house and we got to shootin' and played and laughed... she is the cutest thing EVER (or as my son says... SHE'S HOT!). Ashleigh lives across the street to one of my very best friends so after cruising around Wolfforth, I actually got to visit with Tara! Thanks Ashleigh... we had a BLAST...

ASHLEE AND MATT ENGAGEMENT

2008-10-16T16:05:00.004-05:00

What a GREAT couple Ashlee and Matt are. We had soooo much fun. We were almost in the Tech Homecoming Parade too! Ashlee is a teacher at Frenship (GO TIGERS!!!) and Matt works at Honey Ham (yummm). I can't say enough nice things about these two guys... they were willing to do WHATEVER... no questions asked! Thanks guys... we had a BALL!!!

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!!!

2008-10-11T12:20:00.003-05:00

Last week when we were in Fredericksburg we went in a store called "DOGOLOGY". It was the cutest store EVER. It had everything you needed for your babies... They had these HUGE black and white posters of all sorts of dogs that inspired me to do the same for my babies and hang them in my house. What do you guys think of these two? Bella actually models for me but Roxey is a little shy and bashful and it is much harder to get a cute picture of Roxey.

MY DAY IN ANDREWS...

2008-10-10T17:02:00.006-05:00

I spent the day going to Andrews to deliver a gorgeous canvas to the "Copper Rooster". This shop is SOOOOOOOOO COOL! I just knew I'd come out of there with the cutest stuff... and guess what? I did!!! On my way there I just HAD to stop in Brownfield to see their HUGE bill board with my picture on it!!! There are also some pictures of the "Copper Rooster" and the canvas that is being displayed there from our engagement shoot with Kailey and John. Kailey's mom, Kathy took me over to the high school to check out this WAY COOL ART WORK that a friend of hers did. Is that not the coolest thing you've ever seen? She did that herself with 9 blank canvas'. I thought this piece was GORGEOUS. Thanks Kathy for hanging out with me today! Enjoyed meeting everyone and will definitely enjoy my NEW jacket and shoes (what do you guys think?)

2008-10-09T11:41:00.004-05:00

If you don't cry... you're made of stone... Barry has OUTDONE HIMSELF on this album... I've watched it three times and have BALLED MY EYES OUT EACH TIME. Of course I've known Zane since he was in kindergarten so I'm sure that has something to do with it... I'm not going to be able to leave my house when Barry does Hunter's.... oh my gosh!!!

BROOKE AND NATHAN ENGAGEMENT

2008-10-07T07:37:00.008-05:00

What a FUN couple these guys are. We went and played around town and got to boss Nathan around a little. He was not so excited about this session but I think he ended up having a good time. Brooke is one of the most beautiful girls I've ever met but she has NO clue how gorgeous she is which makes her even prettier.... Thanks guys for making us laugh all evening... Nathan you did a great job and now you'll be ready for the wedding photos. :)

We also have to give a shout out to Malta Farms for letting us invade their pumpkin patch. They are right by Wal Mart on 82nd Street and are soooo sweet! Thanks guys.

MERRITT FAMILY PICS

2008-10-06T12:57:00.007-05:00

Garry is my brother and lives in Leakey. He's the County Attorney down there. He was doing a mediation in Kerrville while we were there so his wife, Lindsay and their kids, Luke and Sarah came to visit us while we were camping. I obviously couldn't let them leave without taking some pics of the kids playing. I just followed them around and took some of the best pictures... Thanks for coming by the river to see us and we'll take a rain check on that dinner!! Love you guys!

CASEY... BULVERDE SENIOR..

2008-10-06T12:49:00.003-05:00

Casey belongs to one of my very best friends in the whole world... Tammy and I grew up together in Uvalde and just spent some time together this past week in Kerrville. I told Casey I would take some senior pics of her if she advertised for me in that little town of hers... She was all for it!!! We had a great time. Casey looks identical to her Mom, Tammy. Tammy has 5 kids and looks better than any teenager I know... We found some cool places around Kerrville to go and play. Thanks Casey and Tammy. Love you guys!
