Taylor + Trent

Taylor has been one of my best friends for a LONG time. We met back in the day at girl scout camp, became pen pals and then started seeing each other a lot more when we started driving. I consider Taylor to be my sister, which we tried to convince her class that we were sisters back in the 7th or 8th grade (I think they believed us…. for a second), and she is the sweetest, most southern girl I know. She claims to have coined the term “Hey y’all” which I concur with!  Anyway, I seriously could not be more excited to share these with you because I am so happy for my girl Tayla. I had the pleasure of meeting Trent on the day of the engagement pictures, and I must say that they are a perfect couple. I also had the honor of designing their save the date, which you can see at the end of the post. Please enjoy!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Times are a changin’

I’ve made a deal with myself to try out actually blogging. As in writing about what I’m doing and the works, which trust me…won’t be much. Maybe we can all find some entertainment in it though! Sadly, I believe my photography posts will be dwindling. I have a few that will come up in time, but I will spread them out so that you’ll keep coming back!

This summer has brought on many changes. One, a quite important one I might add, is that I got married on June 12 to Mr. Alexander! We flew to Jamaica for the honeymoon, and then we headed North to Kansas. We are currently residents of Newton, KS. A quaint town that is full of trains and adorable Main Street shops. Richie and I have started our lives together here and are enjoying it! I began my quest of cooking and decorating, which I’m not to bad at! I like trying out new recipes so if I come across a great one, then I’ll post it for you to try!

So here’s a to a rough start of a blog-like appearance while taking a look through my lens!

Krystal Krug!

Krystal and I did our shoot quite some time ago, however, I’m just getting them up. We had fun enjoying OSU’s campus on a beautiful spring day. Missing that cool weather now! Congrats, Krystal!

 

Madeline Jones

Baby Maddie is just absolutely precious! She’s three months old and beutiful. The Jones and I set out to the Botanical Gardens in Stillwater on the most perfect day May has ever offered! It was still, peaceful and cool. The perfect evening for a sweet little girl to get her picture taken!

The Prentice Family!

 

The members of the Prentice family are natives to Stillwater, OK. I met them when I started college about 5 years ago through the BCM. I’ve also gotten to know them well through Eagle Heights and Boston trips! This family is an amazing example in portraying Christ in every aspect of life, loving others regardlessly and SO many other things. I’m thankful for the Prentice’s and will always have an extremely special place in my heart for them!

Shawna!

 Shawna and I met about 21 years ago. We were enemies in kindergarten, forgot about each other in all the other years until about 6th grade. Then we started hanging out in the same “circle” and became friends. In high school Shawna became one of my very best friends. I have lived with her for 5 years during/after college. So, needless to say, this beautiful girl isn’t just my friend. She’s my sister. We’ve been through a lot together, and I’m sure that we’ve nearly killed each other on multiple occasions. Shawna is one of a kind, and I know I can always rely on her. She’s also one of my Co-MOHs in my wedding! Yes, she deserves that spot without a doubt! Please enjoy our fun photo shoot!

Shawna and her brother Karig wanted to take some pictures for their mom in honor of mother’s day! I think she’ll remember their younger years relationship with these!

 

Oh Oklahoma wind…

Courtni!

 

Courtni and I met a few years ago during Econ… bleh on the class, but YAY for making new friends! Courtni was also a sister of mine in Sigma Phi Lambda! She’s a fantastic girl who loves her cowboys (as in OSU)! Mother Nature was sending us every season every 5 minutes. So some pictures have gray, cloudy skies and others are blue and clear! Take a gander, ya’ll!

Amy!

This is my friend and fellow photog, Amy! This day could not have been more beautiful! I know I say that a lot, but I’m serious! Gorgeous lighting, breeze, everything! Plus, Amy made is extremely fun! She is also an education major (hints the return of Dr. Suess, which that title is so relevant to seniors!). Please enjoy the pictures and let us know what you think!!!

Mindy!

Mindy is graduating this May and heading to Germany for an internship with NASA. Can you say WOW!? Mindy is also Richie’s cousin! Our  photoshoot was fun and full of spring! Oh how I love those tulips!

Darci!

Darci is graduating! This was such a fun shoot for me because first of all, Darci is just fun to be around, and second of all, I loved the pops of color in her props! Can you guess what degree Darci is graduating with? : )
