The Best Is Yet To Come :: Tulsa Photographer

Alright, as promised I have something very exciting to share with you all.  Will this change your lives?  Probably not.  Will you get as excited as I did?  Umm... yeah, again, probably not.  BUT, because we're friends I'm sharing it with you anyway.

Yesterday, that fabulous employee sporting the solid brown ensemble with the three little letters U. P. S. arrived on my doorstep.  Little did he know that package he was holding was going to make me jump for joy and almost want to hug him!  I said almost. come on peeps.

I scribbled my signature as fast as I could and snatched up that beautiful brown box as quickly as my little hands knew how.

And what was inside?  Well.... only this!!!





Like I said, you probably aren't as excited as I was when I saw that beautiful brown truck pull up, but let's just pretend you are.  (and yes, sorry the pictures are small.  I took my own but don't have them with me at the moment.)

So there you have it internet.  A beautiful new Nikon D3s is the newest member of the Allison Lee Photo family and I couldn't be more excited!!!!!

The Dynamic Duo :: Tulsa Photographer

This little family is as sweet as pie!  Yes, we live in the south and I can say things like that.  Their two little boys are the light of their life which was completely evident as they ran at high speeds through the field during our session: the parents eyes watching them the whole time.

The youngest - Little C - was quite the edition to this family.  He's cute and he knows it.  At one point I asked him if he was cute and he said, YES! followed by a quick no. 

Hilarious!

So here are a few from our time together a few weeks ago.  Enjoy!

And stay tuned for tomorrow.  BIG news!!!












And, well, we all love a little more. To view their complete session go ahead and click play on the slideshow! It won't disappoint!

Manic Music Monday :: Tulsa Photographer

Yes, dear friends, it's Manic Music Monday!  I think this is honestly one of my favorite parts of the week.  I love scouring through my music collection every week to find the perfect song choice to bring you all.  I'm just hoping you love everything I throw at you!

I also hope everyone had a great weekend!  Mother Nature decided it would be a really nice (late) April Fools joke to pretend it would be nice this past weekend then show up in all her horror at a wopping 90 degrees.  Bless her heart.

I've got lots to bring you all this week in the way of new fun images, so grab some popcorn and park your sweet little self in that chair of yours this week cause you won't want to miss this stuff!

But until then here's a little Rosie Thomas to hold you over.  She's an absolute treat for your ears!

Kisses & Disses :: Tulsa Wedding Photographer

We'd spent the weekend sprucing up our living room, you know, new paint.  In my mind it was going to be a quick and easy task which we all know means it's going to be long and drawn out.  Nevertheless, we taped, primed, painted, painted again, taped again then laid in the middle of the floor staring at the ceiling.  Proud of our accomplishment. 

As we began moving all of our furniture back into its rightful location I mentioned to Caleb that he needed to fix the pillows on the love seat.  What happened next was almost enough to lay me back down in the middle of the floor and start rolling with laughter. 

Without skipping a beat his mouth opened and he said, it's OK I watch HGTV, I 've got this.

What?  Who are you and what have you done with my husband?  You know, the one that works on cars and loves landscaping?  Not the one that now knows how to fluff and place pillows. 

Which brings us to another edition of Kisses & Disses!

1. My out-of-the-box bride from last weekend.  Just wait until you see this girls shoes!  I love it when my brides go for the non-traditional.  It adds such a fun flare to their images!!

2. The kick-off of wedding season.  We're always exhausted come November/December and welcome the 3 month break, but we always love to spring back into wedding season too!

3. Sally Hanson's Manicure Nail Polish.  Ladies, you will love this stuff!  Promise.  I'm hooked.  I think I have 3 or 4 different colors and am constantly buying more!



1. This Oklahoma wind!  Ridiculous.  How's a girl suppose to do her hair in this stuff??  I mean seriously!

2. Not nice neighbors.  Need I say more?  No bueno.

3. All this NCAA jargin.  My team didn't make it this year so I'm just goint to pout and be thankful it's all over with now!  Here's to next year Cowboys!!

The Piano Man :: Tulsa Engagement Photographer

His stomach was filled with nerves just minutes before the event was set to begin, but he couldn't figure out why.  He'd played at events hundreds of times, but something about this particular night made every nerve in his body twist into tiny nots.

She was excited for the wedding for the reason so many girls get excited: a pretty dress, love, flowers, love, cake, love, dancing... and love.  These are the day, that as little girls, we stand in our bedroom and pretend we are walking down an isle... with little bear in hand, of course.

The one thing neither of them realized though, was that this particular event would change the course of both of their lives, forever.  This was the night their paths were written to cross.

Now, 8 short months later Branson & Heather share a love for one another unlike anything I've seen.  I honestly believe these two could stare at one another for the rest of their lives and be prefectly content. They know what it means to love and to be truly loved by another.

Branson & Heather - you guys are a treat.  Thank you so much for allowing me to share in this special time in your lives!  Two more months guys!!  Congratulations!


Like I said, these two can stare at eachother and forget anyone else is around.



Heather, just quit it.  You are too beautiful for words.

As a part of Branson's proposal, he took Heather back to the place they met and proposed at the exact spot where he first laid eyes on his future wife: the piano.




Heather and Branson were engaged at the beautiful Harwelden Mansion so we ventured back there for a few engagement shots.



And because everyone wants ice cream with their cake, here's a look at Heather & Branson's entire engagement session.

Manic Music Monday :: Tulsa Photographer

This is going to be short because, well, we've got lots of editing to do friends! We had a SUPER fun wedding Saturday that went way into the wee morning hours, but man was it a blast. Our bride and groom lit up the dance floor and we (bride included) saw a side of the groom neither of us knew existed! You'll for sure want to see stuff from this wedding. Coming up!

I'm sure many of you watched the ACM's last night, but just in case you didn't or you missed this little number because you were running to the kitchen to grab a snack, let me show you one of the best numbers from last night. My girl Carrie!


Enjoy!






And I apologize for the all caps.  I'm trying to figure out how to fix it... Lindsey?? :)
