I met up with the Crowder family at beautiful White Rock Lake for some casual family photos while they were staying Dallas on a family vacation from Houston, TX.

Jack & Dessa’s two-year old daughter Radiance was the highlight of the shoot. She was in such good spirts and was super interested in the world around her. I enjoyed my time spent with Jack, Dessa & Radiance and hope you enjoy the images that I captured of them that day.

I usually listen to music in my iTunes account and I constantly find myself skipping songs since I leave the music on shuffle and I have a wide range of music. I decided to it’s about time to create a few playlist for editing and also for working out while at the gym. I’m a creature of habit, so when I find songs that I love I can listen to them over and over again!

Oh, and please excuse the picture quality. My Blackberry doesn’t take very good photos and that’s one the of main reasons why I want an iPhone, strictly for the camera!

1. Pintrest on the iPad 2 and seafood paella for lunch 2. Shopping for a fedora at Forever 21 for my trip to Jamaica in Aug. 3. Kj’s first day of 6th grade (tear) 4. I love any kind of Honey BBQ chips (found these in the vending machine at work, SCORE!) 5. Tall suede riding boots from Urban Outfitters…(I love these shoes so much that I bought a pair in the taupe color as well, so comfy! 6. Shiner Holiday Cheer (YUM!) 7. Red Velvet Pancakes from Grand Lux Cafe for an after church brunch 8. EXPOSED: The Magazine by Jasmine Star, she’s such an inspiration 9. Appetizers for Thanksgiving, my specialty, bacon wrapped smokies with brown sugar!

Sometimes the song can tell the story.

Godspeed (Sweet Dreams), by the Dixie Chicks

Summer Girl, by Leighton Meseter

Again, my younger cousin Jardin (who is only 14, by the way) did a great job modeling for us and I if she ever wants to audition for America’s Next Top Mmodel, then this was a great learning experience for her.

If you’re looking for a location to do Lifestyle, Family, Engagements or Senior photos that is centrally location, White Rock Lake is a great place that offers lots of options!

We headed to White Rock Lake in Dallas and found a nice spot nestled away from the water then spent a few hours having some fun. We were there for a few hours, so there many more photos to come, but for now, enjoy!!
