Kelsey Monroe | Dallas Baby Photographer

I cannot believe that it’s May already and I really can’t believe that this little lady is almost 3 months old! Since I have been working as a full-time photographer since quitting my full-time job back in March I’ve gotten to spend lots of QT with my little KelMo since her mother has gone back to work last month.

I’ve got some serious baby fever going on with just about everyone I know either expecting or having a baby and it’s helps to have Kelsey around because I get my fix in and then I can send her back to mom. But it is really nice to see Kawon interact with her and can’t wait to see him as a daddy. And Kj has been the best big cousin and I can’t wait to see him as a big brother.

While she sleep yesterday I couldn’t help but snap a few photos of this little sleeping beauty. It’s so crazy, I see her at least once a week and she gets bigger and bigger everyday.

Love More, Fear Less

If most of us die wishing we’d laughed more, loved more, and played more … that we’d expressed our true feelings with bravery & immediacy … that we’d made joy an urgent priority, and worked far, far less … then (most of us) are living with inverted priorities. Out of whack. Simple as that.

Call it whatever you want:

White space. Free time. Family time. Creative time. Love. Vacation. Integration. Off-grid blissery. Freedom. Flexibility. Fluidity. Abundance. Ecstasy. Exhilaration. Lightness. Stillness. PLAY.

We need more of it. Dramatically more. Our final breaths call for it. And in our final moments of soft, clear wisdom, we mourn the lack of it. – Alexandra Franzen white-rock-lake, vacation, lake-photos, dallas-lifestyle-photographer, lifestyle-photographer

Brandon & Kristen | Dallas Engagement

When the DFW Shootout group prepared for the Fall shootout last put together a style shoot for Dallas area photographers when looking for models who would better to pose for us than a real-life engaged couple. Brandon & Kristen were getting married in just a few short weeks after this shoot took place and with the many photographers there shooting them that day, they left with plenty of engagement photos to cherish.

As we walked around Hickory Street Annex it was a joy to see how much in love these two were. Brandon and Kristen were super fun and sweet to work with, and not to mention they photograph incredibly well. Enjoy!
