I've been lucky enough to know the Kelly's for many years. We are members of the same church and aside from being the Mayor of Dallas, James Kelly is also the Bishop in my congregation.  We've traveled together on humanitarian relief trips, attended church functions and even enjoyed a Halloween party or two.  I was so excited when their daughter Lauren got married and asked me to take some family photos for them!  Due to Covid, the couple had to elope in April, but we were able to get some sweet bride and groom photos at their Dallas home a few weeks ago!

This first photo is one of my favorites because Hannah looks like she is sitting in a beautiful field of lush grass for her senior portrait session.  But in reality she is crouching between just  two landscape shrubs in front of a reception hall.  Photography can be anything you make it.  People are always worried about the perfect location, but I've shot in parking garages, junk yards, and the grandest of ballrooms.  With the right angles and perspective, any location can make a great photograph.  It's just in the eye of the photographer to take notice!!

Carmi's sweet family portrait session was a tad chilly, but they all braved the weather for an adorable session! I love how Carmi coordinated the girl's outifts because, you know I LOVE puffy dresses.  And I was in love with her fluffy jacket too!!! I love it when clients really put in the effort to make their hair, makeup and wardrobe an important part of their session.  It really makes a difference!!!
