Jesse and Sheree’s Texas Wedding ~ a fabric floral affair

As soon as Sheree pulled her dress out of the car for her bridal session, I knew I loved her. Yards and yards of endless pink ruffles and homemade fabric floral accents custom made by Fresh Sewn. It was truly a cinderella ball gown if Ive ever seen one!

She flew me and my assistant Kat in for the weekend to photograph her over the top gorgeous DIY Fabric Floral wedding in Dallas TX on the lawn at NorthWest Bible Church. Every corner of that yard was strewn with lace, burlap, glass jars, fabric flowers and the overwhelmingly delicious smell of homemade cupcakes of every flavor. She and Jesse were just glowing with love, (and it wasnt just the warmth of the day.) It couldnt have been more beautiful and more perfect of a day for them!

I loved this wedding mostly because they picked the perfect time of day to get all those wonderfully lit shots every photographer dreams of having enough daylight for. Every aspect of this wedding was a melting pot of all the things I love at weddings. Homemade EVERYTHING, cupcakes, pink, cello music, fabric bouquets (also designed and made by Fresh Sewn) and perfect sunflare around every corner!

Thank you Jesse and Sheree for choosing me to capture your lovely day!

a golden afternoon with the Reeves Family

i am still getting caught up on blog posts from last fall, my adoring and lovely assistant Noel has been doing the dirty work for me, blogging all the images and all i have to do is sit down and write the description! love her!

Now on to this ooober yummy fall session… this family is dear to me. i met them and instantly fell in love. i got to do chari’s maternity portraits (you remember the hottie under the golden leaves and sheer fabric right??) two years ago, and so we knew that this years fall session (with her now one year old) needed to be at that perfect golden peak again! we kept it very casual, not a lot of props, just the lovely light and the warmth of their love for each other!

Lauren’s Maternity

When I met the lovely Lauren and her hubs Andrew, they were anticipating the birth of their daughter Drew in just a few weeks. Lauren was so stunning, I knew capturing some lifestyle images of them in their home was right up their ally. The sun was streaming in their windows perfectly and I got some amazing light, the kind you just drool over. Here are a few from their session that I really loved.

meet the girls!

introducing a little behind the scenes look at my assistants and their work!

Meet: Noel

my very first assistant! she came to me as a client, my first maternity client ever, when she was pregnant with her first born Seraphina. I think we bonded in an instant, and because of her photography background, i was super excited to have her join me for a wedding or two. It grew from there and she has now been with me 3 years! i love her ability to catch a candid smile, tear or laugh. i love her style that is a little different from mine, but gives such depth and contrast! she knows how to read my movements and can tell when i give her “the look”. she knows me best!

Her blip:
“As a photographer, a lot of random things inspire me; candid poses,
urban landscapes and hands just to name a few. When I started
photography, i was using black and white film and to this day I think
it is the best form of capturing people’s expressions and moods.
Photography is not only a passion but a way of life. It forces you to
take a second glance at things people only skim over and it is this
attention to detail that keeps me coming back for more. God has
created so many wonderful things in this world and through my
photography I hope to catch just an instant where His glory shines
through. ” ~ Noel

Meet Kat:

She started off as my dear friend, amazing artist and i noticed that she had an eye for photography. i took her (forced her) under my wing, taught her everything i knew and made her intern with me for awhile, she caught on quick and became a huge asset to me! i love her style and ability to capture little details, facial expressions and light.

what she had to say: “I love working for Kadi, truly a BFF, thanks for believing in me And taking the time to teach me about photography!” ~ kat

Meet Heather:

one of my oldest friends on the planet, heather and i met in like 3rd grade, became bffs for life and eventually, because she couldnt bear to be apart from me, she moved to CO with her hubs Dan :) She has a background in photography so I knew i wanted her to come along with me to weddings now and then, shes so great to work with!

 

Her little blurb: I’ve always loved photography, even in its raw and amateur form. It’s really great how you can accidentally capture a moment, and even better when you purposefully set out to capture a moment or even a full day. I enjoy being able to document days or stages of life, as well as the abstract side of life. I’ve always had an artistic urge and calling in my life, but photography was the first medium I really felt like I could come out with an end product that resembled what I originally thought of. I still have a long way to go in working with technical aspects, but practice makes perfect, right?

Meet Tisha:

Her blip: So let me introduce myself. My name is Tisha and I remember when I got my first SLR camera from my parents for my birthday when I was in high school. I think this was one of the best gifts that I have ever gotten, besides my husband and our one year old son Hunter! How do I put into words what I love about photography? I would have to start by saying that it is a way for me to capture moments in time for either my family or others, which to me is priceless. I get to be involved in some of the most special and exciting times in peoples lives, so how can you not love this! Plus, I get to use my creative side to see people/places/things from a different perspective.

Happy Valentines day!
