A World With Other Halves :: {Tulsa Family Photographer}

The first time we met we were among 150 other young freshman girls at our Alma mater... all pledging the same sorority.  Sitting in a large upper room of the sorority house, every girl went around and said who they were and where they were from.  This is your introduction into sorority life.  As an 18 year old girl, thrown into a fairly small room {when it's filled with every member of our house... around 300 girls}.  And this was our introduction to each other. 

It seems like that moment was just yesterday, but then again, seems so long ago.  It's been 8 years since we first sat in that room and introduced ourselves to one another.

I had the honor of photographing this sweet sorority sister of mine and her other half a few weeks ago.  We actually gathered the whole clan together, all 11 of them, on a nice and steamy Sunday afternoon and snapped a thousand few shots of their sweet fam together. 

Internet, meet my admirably gorgeous friend, Chesley and her sweet, sweet other halves.

Now, Chesley just stop.  You're making the rest of look bad!

I just love how the youngest one is looking at his brother like, what the heck are you doing??

You may remember Kyla from her engagement session a few months ago.  This woman is simply amazing.  Her heart is as pure as, well, something completely pure.  She loves deeply.  Lives fully and regrets nothing.

I've been waiting for a while now to debut her gorgeous bridal images, and, in honor or her beautiful wedding yesterday, here you have it!  The new Mrs. Kyla T.

Kyla you make a stunning bride and I couldn't be happier for you and Tyler!  Congratulations!!

Hello??: {Tulsa Wedding Photographer}

{knock,tap, tap}  Hello?  


{tap, tap, tap}  Heeelllloooo? Internet?


{cough, cough}  I'm sorry.....


If you want to give me the award for the worst blogger of the year, I'm currently accepting it.  Because I know.  and I'm sorry.


If you have a blog you may understand what happened.  Or if you're a fellow photographer... you probably get it too.  It's so hard to blog every single day.  Not because I don't want to... but because it's hard to figure out what to say every day.  Hard to know the line between how much is too much about my personal life and what is the right combination.  Plus, at times, telling myself I had to blog every day brought on a whole new stress.  So I'm sorry.  I don't mean to lay it all out there.. but thought I should be honest about why I disappeared.  


So hopefully I'm back.  Maybe not every day... because.  well.  I talk a lot but can never think of enough things to tell you guys.


Thanks for understanding and if I go on a hiatus again... send me a note and let me know!

Once In A Lifetime :: {Tulsa Wedding Photographer}

When you make the final decision to choose one photographer over another you ultimatly have your reasons.  You like their style.  You like their price.  You like the emotion they are able to pull out of their clients.  You ultimatly see yourself in their images and can't imagine any other person photographing your big day.  It's true. 

Now, if you know me or have met with me, you know I'm a bit of a talker.  My husband loves this about me.  But all other conversations aside, let me be serious for a minute.  Yes, price will play an important roll in determing your wedding photographer for some of you, but don't let that be the final straw.  Ten.  Fifteen years from now you won't remember what color the table linens were.  You won't have flower still laying around from your big day.  You will have pictures of the table linens.  You will have pictures of the flowers.  See where I'm going?

There are three main things you will take away with you from your wedding day.

Your memories.

Your wedding video.

Your wedding images.

Oh, and your groom, but hopefully that's a given :)

You only get married once.  You don't get wedding photography do-overs.  You get one shot at capturing your wedding day as it unfolds.

So choose wisely.  Choose them because you can't imagine anyone else photographing your wedding.

Details In The Fabric :: {Tulsa Wedding Photographer}

As a bride there are so many things that go in to making your wedding day the best it can be, but since I'm a photographer, let's talk about that for a minute.

You have most likely spent several hours looking at photographers, comparing prices and packages and possibly meeting with a select few that you are considering for your big day.  Now, with all your work there is still one thing left for you to do to ensure your images turn out the best they can possibly be.  Pay attention to details.

Little details like the personalized hanger for your dress will take your wedding photos from awesome to (as my husband recently described it) off-the-hook.  ha! (he was joking... a little)

And in case you didn't like this idea, just wait a little bit and I'll try again!
