Grapevine, TX Engagement : Caitlin + Nate

07.15.11 Engagements

I had so much fun shooting Caitlin and Nate’s engagement session at the Grapevine Botanical Gardens.  Our time together just flew by.  Usually, it takes people a little time warming up to the camera but Caitlin and Nate were naturals.  They are too cute for words and, clearly, so in love.  I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in Oklahoma at the end of the month!

Enjoy,

Molly

Caitlin and Nate drove down from Oklahoma for their session and luckily the Texas heat calmed down a little for them.

Caitlin you are so beautiful!

Nate doesn’t just make Caitlin smile but brings her to laughter.  Thanks Nate!

Aww…

I think we actually had the wonderful  Grapevine Botanical Gardens all to ourselves.  It was so peaceful.

Love this.

Handsome!

So sweet.

If you would like to see more of Caitlin and Nate’s engagement session, feel free to check out their slideshow below.

Winter Styled Shoot : Corbin + Dave

06.03.11 Weddings

A couple of months ago I had the privilege to shoot at the Winter Shootout put on by After Yes and Catie Ronquillo.  It was so beautifully put together.  All of the models and details were gorgeous!  Styled shoots are a lot of fun for photographers because they allow us complete creative freedom without any pressure.  I think they can also be great for brides and grooms looking for inspiration for their wedding or engagement session.  Really, any portrait session can go from great to amazing by adding just one personal touch.

Please meet the beautiful Corbin and Dave from Soulbox Productions who did an amazing job modeling for all of us.

I love these two.  I get this feeling like the bride and groom just snuck off in the woods to have a moment alone or something.

Bailee Turns One : Carrollton Children’s Portraits

04.16.11 Portraits

I’m at Barnes & Noble writing this blog post.  On days like these I’m so thankful for technology, especially free Wi-Fi (oh, and Starbucks’ frappuccinos)!  It’s a nice change from my normal environment, my living room couch or lonely office chair.

The other weekend I had the best time taking portraits of little B and her parents.  I don’t have children of mine own yet but I adore them.  I mean I love kids.  I truly believe they give purpose to life and make it so much more fun or at least interesting all the time.  So, when Leslie asked me to take their little B’s one year old portraits I was thrilled.  Then, almost immediately, I became nervous because I have never officially taken portraits of a child so young.  At this age you never know what’s going to happen and can’t exactly direct them, you know.  Little B and her parents, Leslie and John, came all the way from Round Rock, Texas so the pressure was on to deliver.

We went out to the nature preserve in Carrollton and honestly, the session went wonderfully.  Little B is adorable, sweet-as-can-be, and sooo even tempered.  I think we all had fun playing around in the fields and I just love the pictures we got.  Thank you Leslie and John for coming all the way from Round Rock and allowing me to document your little girl’s special one year birthday.

Molly

I love the next picture on the right because her two front teeth are too cute.

undefined

Such a good looking family.

Baby giggles are the best!

Look at those beautiful blues.  She’s going to be a boy magnet for sure.

Little B already has the model pose down pat with her hand in her hair (ok, minus that cute tongue).

Okay I will leave you with this sweetness.

A New Look

03.08.11 Photography

If you’ve been to my blog before I’m sure you’ve noticed I have changed the look a bit. I’m no graphic designer but until I can afford to invest in one I’m trying to tweak things here and there until I get a little closer to what I’d like my brand to look like. This is the very reason why I chose ProPhotoBlogs because you can change your blog as many times as you want. Who knows, you might see a totally new look next week.

Leave me some comments because I would love to hear what you think/feel about it.

Thanks,
Molly

Here’s one of many beautiful snapshots from the Winter Shootout, thrown by After Yes and Catie Ronquillo, that I was so fortunate to be able to attend.  So many more pictures and vendors I can’t wait to share with you!  I posted a few more on my facebook page so feel free to look around there too.

Alex - That’s why I LOVE Prophotoblogs – except I haven’t upgraded to the newer version where you can have an extra sidebar.. but I’m about to totally revamp my blog and look, so I’m trying to decide if to stick with ProPhoto or hire someone to create the exact look I’m going for. LOVE the image! Gorgeous.March 10, 2011 – 9:43 AM

Ciera : Grapevine Senior Portraits

03.06.11 Portraits

The other weekend I got to hang out with Ciera and her mom and I had a blast.  We went up and down Main Street in Grapevine, shot some hoops (okay, I didn’t do that but Ciera did), and roamed around the Gaylord Hotel.  I have to tell you that Ciera has the whole package.  She is beautiful, sweet as can be, fun, and if that’s not enough, she’s athletic.  I actually got to see some of Ciera’s basketball skills first hand and let me tell you the girl has game.  You know, I’ve secretly wished I was more athletic but that’s a whole other story.  Ciera will be playing college hoops in the fall and I know she’ll be a total success!

Thank you two for making my job so easy and fun.  I hope you love these as much as I do.

Molly

 

Seriously, you are so beautiful Ciera.

These just make me smile.  Ciera’s mom told me before the session that Ciera has a lot of “faces” and oh she does.  I love it!

I love this one and I’m in love with her orange sneakers.

undefined
undefined

Ciera’s dress blew up a little bit and I told her it reminded me of the classic Marilyn Monroe photo and then Ciera did this.  Can you tell we had fun?!

undefined

Ciera is an awesome basketball player so she wanted to take her session to the courts.

undefined

I love the courts that we found at the Heritage Park in Grapevine, so urban and worn in.

She even looks amazing in action.

Ciera has the greatest sneaker collection I’ve ever seen.  Yes, those are Coach sneakers in the orange. LOVE.

So beautiful.  I love when the wind works in your favor.

undefined

I love laughter and we had a lot that day.

undefined
undefined

Let’s end it on this gorgeousness.  Ciera, your smile is just contagious.
