The little prince has arrived..Baker Dee King

My family has always been super close and it was an oh so exciting event when my gorgeous cousin Kenley found out she was going to have her first child. I can remember when Kenley and I would play in the backroom at grandma's house recording vhs tapes of us selling things on commercials. We had the best of times growing up. It was only natural that I would want to be there when the happiest day of her life arrived! BABY BAKER! What a precious addition to our family.

I was blessed enough to be able to stay for 2 days and capture more of his sweet moments. Not once did he scream at me and all my poking and cold handed maneuvers. He was sweet and pie and momma was very generous to let me handle him for the whole day!

Explanation on some of the photos:
Boozer is the family dog who once lived in doors. He is now living outdoors until Baby Baker is comfortable and they can determine how to blend their family. We caught a photo of Boozer looking in on Baker through the window.

This is a Texas Tech Family. It's only right that he is going to be a Raider Fan--in the womb he actually was photographed throwing a Tech Gun Hand. :)


I hope you enjoy these sneak peaks as much as me. Welcome to the world Baker Dee!

Here Comes the Bride DA DA DA DUM! (singing)

What a privilege it was to photo for Saleem and Melinda! They are a gorgeous couple that now reside in Missouri. They had their wedding reception and cocktail reception here and Texas and was delighted to get to cover their events. This is a very dynamic duo that really know how to throw great parties!

I will post just a few of my favorites of each event. Thanks to the bride and groom for 2 amazing nights in the DFW!

Best Wishes!

Renegade Style

Renegade Style Sessions are so much fun. You're on the go...looking for places on a whim...and being careful to not step foot in a dangerously dark part of town. :) Crim is an old friend of mine and it was so excited to capture him. Some of the shots came out remarkable and I'm so proud to show them off.

Loved our time together!

stay tuned,

Behind the Scenes with Tacrok @ Erikah Badu & Lil Wayne Shoot

Here are some amazing photos that I caught at the video shoot for Erikah Badu and Lil Wayne. It was such a great experience to behind the scenes on such a great occasion. Thanks to Milad for opening up this opportunity. Working around Taco was such an amazing experience and to see how videos are put together was really wild. You can see the collection on my Flikr acct linked on my home page.

The photos of the music artists are not posted. Hopefully in the future I will be able to post some in my portfolio. Thanks

:) Enjoy

The crew were like an army of ants working diligently to get everything done.

Family Ties

My family took a 9 hour trip to the great state of Louisiana! My husbands family lives in the deep southern town of Lutcher! We had an excellent trip and got to spend lots of quality time.

As Christmas gifts- I decided to photo his Godmother's Family and his Godfather's Family. What a pleasure and fun memory we had.

Enjoy how sweet they are!

Thanks to the families for being so cooperative in the FREEZING weather!

Life is a Miracle

From the moment you're conceived to the moment you are born...to the all the moments you share in life- It is a miracle. Jesus was very creative and thoughtful when he made each one of us. Miracles are happening all around us and I think we should start taking notice more often.

This family is very special to me. Lynsey is my best friend of 18 years and Jeremy is my great friend of 12 years. I'd like to think I had something to do with them meeting :) Recently Jeremy was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. We did not believe the report and immediately started praying and raising money to help their family.

( My Crew: www.crazyhourcrew.com )

We recently got news that his tumors have shrunk in HALF! Thank you JESUS!

This called for celebration. Lynsey had all her kids together for the holidays and we decided to take photos of such a great occasion. I love this family and their hearts really show through these photos. Enjoy

Merry Christmas Everyone!,
