Hope for Ava

This little girl's story really hits close to home for me..... please take 5 minutes to read it and if possible participate in Hope for Ava.

Kelby and Abby | Married! | Chickasha, Oklahoma Wedding Photographer

When Crosslight Photography and Two Sticks Photography come together you get one heck of a team that we now refer to as Back Roads Photography. Amanda and I are available for Events, Weddings, Senior Slam Session and more! Email me for more information. :)

Last weekend we had the pleasure of photography Kelby and Abby's special day. I can't tell you how fun this couple was and they were up for anything! We had so much fun capturing the day, I only hope that I was able to do it justice.

Please enjoy the sneak peek!

The "T" Family | Chickasha, Oklahoma Family Photographer

This is the unfortunate thing that happens when you try to photograph a 1 year old in 30ish degree weather. I still think she looks completely adorable though, haha.

Before the meltdown we were able to shoot for about an hour and I think we got some amazing shots of this family. It was so wonderful working with them and I hope to do it again in the future when it's a little warmer of course. ;)

Doesn't she have the most beautiful skin?!



Is that a smile I see peeking through?! :)

Brrrrr! | Chickasha, Oklahoma Family Photographer

So it's official, I'm in LOVE with this session!

Regardless of the fact that it was FREEZING outside and little brother was COMPLETELY against this shoot we got some adorable shots! I knew we would as beautiful as this family is!

I can't wait to photograph them again next year.

Please enjoy their sneak peek. :)

Isn't she Darling?! | Chickasha, OK Children Photographer

I just started working of these images from a family session I had on Sunday...I just couldn't help it but to post this 1 photo! Isn't little she just a doll?!

See their family session from last year HERE.

Gibson Lee and Lennon Rae | Chickasha, Oklahoma Children Photographer

It's that time of year again - the time of year when we tend to spend to much money....Christmas! ugh... ;) Really though I LOVE Christmas! I was so excited to get to spend some time with my neice and nephew today to photograph their Christmas portraits.

I had plenty of time to edit while I was trying to ignore Oklahoma biting the dust during bedlam.

 :( ....so sad.

They look great in color too I just was feeling a little moody ;).

Prepare for a longer than usual post :)

A little background: I met Summer when I started working for Waste Connections and in the year we've known each other I'd call her one of my best friends.

In January (2011) Summer and I began a complete lifestyle change. We decided that neither one of us felt good in our skin and it was about time to do something about it! I started counting calories and eventually seeing a trainer and Summer decided to try Weight Watchers again. Who knew that she would be so dang successful! Since then she's lost 87 lbs and has met her weight loss goal (just in time for her to get engaged! Congrats again!!!). It's seriously insane.... My measly 34 lbs sounds so bad next to her 87 haha!

I really can't tell you how proud I am of her. She built up so much will power in the process. Summer will definitely be my go to girl when I need to lose the baby weight this spring. :)

Since we did Summer's family photos last December and again this November I decided to put together a little before and after. When I was digging through the photos I was so in aw of how much of a difference 87lbs makes!

See for yourself! :)

You see it?! Crazy huh?!

And some more from her most recent family session! We had a blast shooting on the river all camo'd out! I really think that Brad Paisley's new song Camoflage should be their theme song, haha.

Fun Family | Chickasha, Oklahoma Family Photographer

I LOVE this girl!

I finally had the opportunity to shoot Jessica's family again and it was a blast. I was pretty stressed out because we really didn't have the pretty fall colors that we planned for but hey it's Oklahoma what do you expect?!

It's really insane how much her girls have grown! One has become more cooperative and one was a bit less but we still got some super cute shots!

View their past photoshoot here.



I get to shoot their wedding next September! So EXCITING!!!



Thought the sun was fun in this one - though it's not for everone....
