It seems like just yesterday she was calling me Aunt “Chessa” and now, as plain as day, I’m Aunt Tressa. It feels like it happened overnight and now sweet Maddie has turned the BIG six. I would be lying if I told you I don’t miss hearing “Chessa”, but it’s also really awesome getting to watch her grow into such a unique and wonderful little girl. I love everything about her and that I get to help document these special moments that go by oh so fast. If you want to take a trip down memory lane with me, then be sure and check out the images from her fourth and fifth Birthday parties. It’s so much fun to look back! This year’s party was allllllll about Frozen and there was even a special guest appearance from Queen Elsa herself. The looks on their faces when she arrived to the party are *priceless*! It was such a fun day with Maddie and her friends… aren’t they the cutest?! [Read more…]
PRINCESS BARBIE BIRTHDAY | dallas, tx lifestyle photographer
I can’t believe it, but this sweet little princess had her 5th Birthday… *sigh*. Seriously, where does the time go?! I got to help capture all the Birthday fun last year and this year’s party was just as awesome. Princess Barbie was even there to help celebrate! Everyone had such a good time and Madelyn was on cloud 9 with all of her friends. So sweet to watch! Happy, Happy Birthday Maddie! See more images… [Read more…]
CUTEST COWBOYS & COWGIRLS | dallas, tx commercial photographer
We had such a great turnout for the Boot City Boot Shootout with lots of cute little cowboys & cowgirls! To check out all of the images from this fun event and details on how to vote for your favorite, be sure and click here. I was so impressed with these kiddos! They all did so good, especially considering how busy we were and the limited amount of time we had to spend with each participant. A couple started off a little rocky, but then they warmed up and gave us some great smiles!
Take a look at some of the behind the scene shots that Elizabeth Davis of Three Hearts Photography captured… {thank you so much Liz for your help!!!}
What an awesome day! And if you love cowboy boots and western wear, you have to check out Boot City and be sure and “like” their Facebook page. They have the best selection and customer service you can find! Not to mention, they are family owned and operated and have been going strong since 1978. You should definitely stop by the store and take a look around if you live near Lubbock. It’s where real cowboys shop… just take a look at these boots a young man was wearing in the store the day of the Boot Shootout. So cool! Here are a few more shots I got during my visit…

PRINCESSES & PIRATES | dallas, tx lifestyle photographer
This birthday party was SO awesome and was full of pretty little princesses and handsome little pirates! The birthday princess, Madelyn, could not have been happier and I LOVE that you can see her excitement in these images. It was so sweet to watch her with all her little friends. I especially enjoyed watching them with the guest of honor, Rapunzel {owner of Fun Company DFW}. She did face painting, bubbles, limbo and other games… she was amazing and did a wonderful job with the kids! Everyone had such a good time and Sherrille Snyder really out did herself making Madelyn’s cake that by the way tasted as good as it looked. This party was definitely a fairy tale worth remembering! I can’t believe that 4 years ago today I was hanging out with her Mom & Dad waiting for her arrival at the hospital. It was a beautiful day and I feel so blessed to have this family in my life as friends. Happy 4th Birthday Maddie… I love you very, very much sweet girl!!!
