Maddison + Dan | Palo Duro Canyon Engagement Photos

These two have been together a long, long time. And it shows in the best of ways <3

Their engagement session in Palo Duro Canyon turned out to have less than ideal weather conditions (sudden wind and rain!) but Maddison and Dan kept great attitudes and just had fun together. Those are the best kind of couples that I get to work with - the kind that go with the flow and live in the moment despite the turbulence around them. I loved getting to know them and I can't wait for their fall wedding.

Sawyer + Emily | Palo Duro Canyon Engagement Session

The way Sawyer proposed to Emily was pretty sweet. They knew they were going to get married at some point so they were already touring wedding venues. Their hearts were set on the Fulford Barn outside of Brownfield, Texas. They walked around the property and eventually made it to the lawn where much to Emily's surprise, Sawyer had set up a table with pictures of the two of them, beautiful flowers, and other sweet memorabilia. He then got down on one knee and asked her to become his wife.

Rachel + Matt | Engagement Session at Texas Tech University

I first met Rachel a few months ago when she booked me for her upcoming wedding and the first time I met Matt was during their engagement session. When I saw them together I instantly knew that they fit perfectly together. I mean, just look at them! Matt is from all over the United States but he moved to Lubbock to accept a job at Texas Tech's library. He then met Rachel at church and they fell in love.

Taryn + Joey | Downtown Amarillo Fall Engagement Session

I liked Taryn and Joey the instant I met them. They're one of those couples that make me sad that I only get to see them for their engagement photos and their wedding - which isn't until next June! Too long! (I mean seriously, can we hang out?)

Lauren + Ryan | Palo Duro Canyon Engagement Photos

I honestly feel like God brings me the clients that I need at exactly the right time. Lauren and Ryan's wedding is only one month away but by a crazy turn of events, I am now shooting their wedding and I could not be more excited. One of my other amazing clients referred Lauren to me and I am so glad that she did.

Sheridan + Jerry | Springtime Lubbock, Texas Engagement Photos

I knew I liked Sheridan and Jerry from day one. We met back in the fall when they booked me for their July 2017 wedding. The moment that Sheridan pulled out her wedding planning notebook was the moment that I knew I had found an ideal client and kindred spirit. She was so organized and on the ball! Being super Type A myself, it's fun to work with people that think like I do.

Celia + Blake | Springtime Engagement Photos in the Texas Panhandle

This engagement session just screams spring and I love it so much! Celia and Blake met in high school in their small town of Perryton, Texas. Now, 8 years later, they're engaged and they're getting married at the Resplendent Garden this summer (I, for one, can't wait for it!). Clearly, these two just work together. It's easy to see that they've been together a long time and they know each other well.

Ashley + John | Early Spring Engagement Photos at Texas Tech

I'm so glad that Ashley, John, and I were finally able to meet up and do their engagement session! I say "finally" because all of us kept switching the date back and forth. We couldn't seem to find a date that stuck due to weather, work schedules, my shooting schedule, etc. But finally! We made it work and it was so worth it.

Alyssa + Patrick | Palo Duro Canyon Engagement Photos

These two adorable people have spent six years together (four of which were long distance) and they are now getting married later this year. They are so amazing together and they are as sweet as they look. Their engagement session in Palo Duro Canyon was full of real laughter (my favorite!) and lots of cuddling for warmth. Though it was a breezy, crisp January day, their smiles are what make the pictures look warm.

Aleecya + Kyle | Downtown Amarillo & Palo Duro Canyon Engagement Session

Aleecya and Kyle's engagement session was one big giggle fest. Aleecya warned me before her session that her fiance, Kyle, was "not much of a picture guy." But I promised her that I would make them feel comfortable and rarely would I have them just staring at the camera. So I made them kiss and do silly things and the two of them were pretty much laughing the entire time we were downtown.

Samantha + Shane | Autumn Anniversary Photo Session

This fall anniversary session makes me want to cuddle up with a good book and some hot tea. But seriously. Aren't these two the cutest? Samantha and Shane recently moved to Amarillo from New Hampshire, where Samantha is from and where they got married last fall. Before they moved here, she had a plan to take one photo from each season of the first year of their marriage. She found me through one of my past clients and I am so glad she chose me to take their fall photo because meeting them and taking their anniversary photos has turned out to be one of my favorite shoots of the year.
