It's not every day you get to capture new portraits and stock images for a fancy lobbyist firm. Spending the day with my "boys" was potentially a top-five client portrait day to date.

They're hilarious.

And, really good at their jobs.

Boo-Tows, Toddler Fashion, and a Happy Father's Day

Months ago, I took photos of Patton, and Cody . . . wait. No. I'm ALWAYS taking photos of Patton. 

These photos, though, are probably my [current] favorite, and I've been waiting for the perfect opportunity to share them with the world. Today seems fitting. 

I present to you, Patton Elise with her "boo-toowws", Great Dane, "hosses", rocks, micro fashion, and "Daaa-ey" [daddy] -- who is also, sometimes, called momma. ;-)

Happy Father's Day, Cody. Thanks for being the best dad Patton's ever had. ;-)

Approachable is not a typical word used to describe attorneys. Especially when they're the type of attorneys who "give a damn" about you, your case and getting you the best possible outcome. 

This spring I partnered with Brooke (my ride-or-die-and-stop-for-snacks soulmate) of Rural Gone Urban to create an approachable, relatable dot com with true-to-brand portraits and unique stock photography. 

For those keepers of small businesses, you may know purchasing stock photography is a bit pricy and the options can be limited. Armed with my favorite lenses we took to the local neighborhood, North Lincoln and downtown Oklahoma City to document images to be used in marketing collateral throughout the next year. 

Man, this was a fun project. 

For you: a few of my favorite portraits. 

P.S. Hire these guys for all your lawyering needs. They're the best.

Patton's Aunt B. hasn't had portraits since I took them (in the same blue chair) in 2013. Since she's Stacy Pearce Creative's {un-paid} content director, knows all my secrets from college and my maid of honor, I thought ... you know... she deserved them.

And, also, she wasn't going to leave until I took them. 

Love you, soulmate. 

Logan + Spencer

I count my blessings for these two beautiful friends of mine, who are getting married today. 

When I first arrived on staff at Connors State five years ago, these two were part of a crew who welcomed me with open arms and made my transition to the staff easy.

--

I'm over the moon that their eyes and hearts were opened to one another ... To Spencer's carefree, fun-loving, jokester attitude and cowboy roots, Logan is detail-oriented, driven and completely city -- and I 100% love the way their personalities play together. 

And their session at the ranch: talk about a smoke show.

Beautiful people with beautiful hearts.

Happy wedding day, my friends! 

Janice + Mike

It's rare that a person finds true love for a second time.

Janice and Mike have both loved, with every fiber of their beings, and suffered great loss with the passing of their respective spouses. They truly know the depths marriage vows can reach, but also, the great joys that come from spending a lifetime with the love of your life.

Having a front row seat to this new relationship was quite possibly the most fun I've had, in terms of engagement sessions. These two have thrown caution to the wind, and are pursuing each other with a hope for tomorrow ... all made possible by a single offer of ice cream on a hot afternoon.
