Robin and Chad – Fort Worth Modern Engagement

Robin and Chad were married recently in a gorgeous Christmas wedding (pictures to come soon!)  In the fall we met up with this fun and super cute couple in Fort Worth for some romantic and casual engagement photos.  We had a great time!  Thanks so much Robin and Chad for spending the afternoon with us.  You rock!!

We *Heart* – Book Covers (Brandy’s picks)

They say never judge a book by it’s cover … but these days some book covers are just so stunning it’s really tempting to.  Since I happen to love books and art I’ve become quite obsessed with drop dead gorgeous book covers.  Of course I still have to be interested in the story but then again…

Every night you’ll usually find me reading until 2 am with a couple of cats tucked under the covers and Brandon snoozing away.  Brandon reads too – but he’s more interested in Jules Verne adventures, pirates, photography, and books that do not feature apples or floating bracelets on the cover.

1. Twilight – oh my Twilight. how I love thee. I already loved vampires (big Anne Rice fan) and this was just good fun.  The cover = yummy.

2.  The Lovely Bones - now a movie (which I really want to go see) and apparently it needed a new cover to go with it (yuck!) but the original cover has always been awesome.  I loved this book from the very first sentence to the end – it’s a captivating and heartbreaking story.

3.  Her Fearful Symmetry – I have not read this book yet because I still have a love/hate relationship with The Time Traveler’s wife.  But it keeps winking at me when I’m in the bookstore.  The cover is very cool.  Still not ready to make a commitment.  Yes, I have issues.

4.  Shiver - what I’m reading right now.  No, it’s not Twilight.  Yes, there are werewolves.  So far I’m intrigued with the cover and the story.

5.  Skinny – the cover lured me in (with ice cream no less.)  Skinny tells the story of a young woman who suffers from anorexia.  It’s realistic and tragic.

6.  The Dark Divine - I haven’t read this yet either – but the cover oh… and the story sounds interesting too.

Briana and Brad – Fort Worth Modern Engagement

Last summer we put out a casting call for some portfolio building sessions for Brandon.  Briana contacted us and mentioned getting pictures taken with three Great Danes.  We had so much fun and wow those doggies were big!  This entire session was photographed by Brandon, woot woot!

tales from the iPhone

Late night breakfast @ one of our favorite places Ol’ South Pancake House – Fort Worth.  If you’ve never had a late night breakfast at Ol’ South you must go!  Fork and spoon antics, hot coffee, and breakfast art is always a must.  These pics were snapped with our iPhone and then given the “mono” treatment via the Camera Bag App.  I love this App!  You can take your iPhone pics and dress them up with options like Helga, Magaine, 1974, Instant, 1962 and more.  Turns out Mac also released a desktop version of Camera Bag.  Check check and get yours at Camera Bag Desktop.

Mylynka and Lupe – Coffee House UT ARLINGTON Engagement

We absolutely love Mylynka and Lupe.  They are such a warm, vibrant, fun loving couple.  Brandon and I look forward to their wedding in May which will be amazing!  We’re also looking forward to the monthly “date nights” that the four of us have insisted on.

When we started planning their engagement session it soon became evident that they spent much time at their FAVORITE COFFEE HOUSE ever… The Coffee Haus Downtown. So we started out the session there for some fun romantic “I love you, I love coffee” style shoots.  After that we ran around and had a blast at their school – The University of Texas at Arlington.  Thanks so much Mylynka and Lupe for being amazing clients and friends.  You rock!

Love… as seen through the eyes of  oh so yummy muffins…

Love this image of our gorgeous couple @ the UTA planetarium!

To boldly go where no photographers and couples have gone before… the US BELLA POP space shuttle crew.  ;)

Last but not least, we LOVE LOVE LOVE when our clients send us invitations, save the dates, etc.  They make our day!
