KISS ME AT SUNSET | dallas, tx engagement photographer

September 10, 2014

www.tressavent.com-Sunset-Lifestyle-Engagement-Portraits-Dallas-TX-Photos

So much to love about this engagement session… the light, the locations, the sunset, the couple.  Especially the couple.  They are sweet friends and they trusted me to capture these for them.  I enjoyed getting to exploring their neck of the woods and of course there was no shortage of laughs.  In fact, we may have started the session with an ants-in-your-pants dance off {if only I had video}. 😉 Those little guys came out of nowhere, but it was smooth sailing after that with lots of beautiful images.  I have so many favorites!  And how fun is that little kiss at the end by the water?!  So sweet… I cannot wait to see them tie the knot.  They are perfect together.  Here is a little peek into our afternoon together…     [Read more…]

SUNNY SIDE OF LOVE | dallas, tx family lifestyle photographer

“…Take me to your sunny side of love, That’s right where we belong…”  -Aerosmith 

It was a hot, triple digit kind of day, but they were complete rockstars and fully embraced all of my silliness and games.  Just look at all those smiles… and all that LOVE!  Sweet, summer of sunshine, I adore them!  Mom and I go way back, like wayyyyy back.  So nothing makes my heart happier than being able to capture her with her loves.  I mean, do sisters get any sweeter than this?!  Since they enjoy all things music, we *had* to have a little jam session and what a treat for me.  I was so relaxed at one point that I forgot I was taking their pictures.  It was an awesome afternoon!  And just incase you missed it on Instagram, check out their little Walk This Way video.               [Read more…]

‘TWO’TALLY AWESOME | dallas, tx family lifestyle photography

June 11, 2014

Lifestyle Family Photography in Dallas Fort Worth by www.tressavent.com

Oh this family… they are the absolute sweetest!  You might remember their ‘One’derland session from last year.  We had just as much fun this year and not only is little Ms. cutie the BIG *two* now, but she is also going to be a BIG sister this Fall.  I’m so excited for their growing family and adore all of the images we got to help document this special time.  Mom and Dad are pro’s at being in the moment and allowing me to capture all of the love that they have for each other.  There was plenty of laughing, playing and a whole lotta lovin’.  You don’t want to miss this fun little video from their session, catch me if you can.  And can you believe all of the beautiful light we got?!  They were glowing!  I’m so glad that we did not listen to the 60 percent chance of rain and thunderstorm weather reports.  Which is why I just don’t trust them.  Good ‘ole Texas weather!  😉  Everything was perfect… so very perfect.

IT ALL STARTED WHEN | dallas, tx family portrait photography

Family Portrait Photography in DFW by www.tressavent.com

… these two fell in love.  Now, 40 years of marriage later, it doesn’t take much to see how much they adore each other and how proud they are of their kids, in-laws and that sweet grandson.  I love that they planned this special family vacation for all of them to be together and to enjoy some time at the lake.  And I *really* love that they chose me to help capture them.  What an honor and how special to have these memories!  There was lots of smiling, laughing and joking around.  They are the kind of family that you instantly feel like you’ve known for years, so warm and welcoming.  I really enjoyed my time with them and love all of the images we got.  Here are some of my favorites…   [Read more…]

Lifestyle Family Portraits in McKinney, TX with www.tressavent.com

“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one’s soul remains unawakened.”  -Anatole France

Her name is Cocoa and she is the most lovable fur baby that will totally melt your heart with her kisses.  She has some really awesome parents too!  I loved getting to help document their time together during this special session.  We even managed to squeeze in a little happy hour complete with beer, wine and some fancy water for Ms. Cocoa.  And don’t Bret and Suzanne make the cutest couple?!   Their love for each other is undeniable and it was so sweet to witness Bret’s helpfulness with everything during the shoot.  You can tell how much he cares about both of these beautiful ladies.  I’m so glad that they took the time to have this session so that they can fur-ever have these happy images.  You can see how much they all love each other and that makes my heart really full.  I’m honored that they chose me to help capture it all!  [Read more…]

LIFE’S GREATEST BLESSING | dallas, tx family lifestyle photographer

December 8, 2013

Family Lifestyle Portraits in McKinney, TX by www.tressavent.com

… is the love of a family. The way they all look at each other and laugh together, it’s contagious and such a joy to be around. I have been looking forward to this ever since meeting them at big brother’s senior session in the Spring. Now that D is away at college, Mom and Dad wanted to be sure and get everyone together for family portraits during his visit home for Thanksgiving. Such a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday and how thankful they are for each other. It was a real treat to help capture that for them. And Mom totally deserves an award for coordinating everyone’s outfits… so stylish and perfect for our locations. Thank you B family for being *you*… I love the way you guys love.

BIG LOVE | dallas, tx couples lifestyle photographer

August 22, 2013

Anniversary Portrait Session in Downtown Dallas by www.tressavent.com

I was so excited when this beautiful couple contacted me about scheduling a session during their visit to Dallas to celebrate their BIG one year wedding anniversary.  How fun and sweet is that!?  We got started planning right away and I love that we went with doing them Downtown to give them a modern feel.  And let me tell you… these guys are totally head over heals for each other!   I pulled the little quotes you see in the images below from a questionnaire I had them fill out before the session and I love how perfectly they pair together.  So sweet and even though they filled their forms out separately, so many of their answers about each other and their relationship where *very* similar.  They go so well together and I’m so honored they chose me to help capture that.  Such a lovely couple, with a sweet love story!  Thank you K & A for being so amazing… you guys are totally adorable and I loved my time with you both!

I really, *really* love working with couples and although I don’t do weddings, I’m looking forward to expanding my work in this area.  Whether you’re dating, engaged, been married a year or 50 years… I want to be your photographer.  Seriously folks, this is my call to you!  Don’t forget to take time out of your busy schedules to connect and reflect on your love for each other… plus it makes for a super fun date night. 😉  If you’re interested in scheduling this type of session, you can drop me a line here.  I would love to hear from you!  See more images…  [Read more…]

GETTING MAUI’D | dallas, tx engagement photographer

June 12, 2013

Engagement Beach Portrait Session in Galveston, TX by www.tressavent.com

I love this beautiful couple so much!  They are dear, sweet friends so when they asked me to do their engagement photos I felt like I was going to burst with excitement.  And I also might have cried because I’m honestly *that* happy for them.  😉  They are getting married in Maui this Fall {so awesome!} and although Galveston does not compare to Hawaii, it was the perfect setting for their beach themed session.    I really love the variety of images we got and all of the beautiful colors throughout.  And wouldn’t you know, we found the most wonderful field of wildflowers… so perfect!  They really made it so easy on me, such a fun and memorable session.  I can’t wait to celebrate with them on their special day… won’t be long now!   See more images…  [Read more…]

A BABY IS… | dallas, tx maternity photographer

December 20, 2012

Maternity portrait session in Austin, TX by www.tressavent.com

“… something you carry inside you for nine months, in your arms for three years and in your heart till the day you die.”  ~ Mary Mason

It will not be long before this beautiful couple will be holding their sweet baby in their arms.  I had such a great time with them and shooting in Austin was a blast!  The last time I shot there was for Michele’s Pinkle Toes Photography Professional Workshop so it was so much fun to be back.  I pulled a great deal of inspiration from that experience to help create a fun session.  I’m so excited for my sweet friends and can not wait to meet the newest member of their family.  We are all taking bets on if it’s a girl or boy and I’m thinking girl… so fun!  🙂  Either way, I know that sweet baby is going to be as awesome as his/her parents.  What an honor to capture this special time in their lives for them.
