The Casteel Family {Dallas Newborn Family Photographer}

The Casteel family welcomed their second baby girl into the world earlier this month.  I was lucky enough to be invited into their home to capture some of the first few moments.  I can't get over how adorable these two little girls are or that this mom just had a baby!  Doesn't she look fabulous? 

 

Lora and Matt {Argyle Wedding Photographer}

Lora and Matt were a total joy to work with - fun, easygoing, and so in love.  They officially tied the knot in the Solomon Islands a few months ago and came back to Texas to renew their vows and celebrate with family and friends.  I have to say that these two definitely know how to throw a party!  Their reception included glow sticks and s'mores and the dance floor was out of control - complete with my first time to personally experience the harlem shake.  Can you guys renew your vows more often??

 

 

 

 

 

Tough Mudder St. Louis {Event Photographer}

St. Louis hosted a great Tough Mudder.  The weather was amazing and I remembered sunscreen this time!  If you aren't familiar with Tough Mudder you should definitely check them out.  They have raised over $6.5 million for the Wounded Warrior Project.  They support a great cause and they put on a pretty hardcore 12 mile obstacle course. 

 

The St. Louis costumes weren't as crazy as the ones in Austin last year (not surprising, KEEP AUSTIN WEIRD!).  Fortunately my husband and father-in-law wore tiger stripes to keep things interesting... and Dan also donned a mustache, which luckily has since been removed.

St. Louis

We traveled to St. Louis over the weekend for their Tough Mudder (I was just the spectator/photographer... shocker, right?)  It was a great weekend spent with family, amazing restaurants, the Gateway Arch and the Missouri Botanical Garden.  A full post on the St. Louis Tough Mudder is coming soon. Here are some photos from our trip while you wait, or you can check out last year's Tough Mudder to see what the action is all about!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lawrence Family Preview

You have to check out this adorable session I shot at Goar Park and the University Park Fire Department.  I seriously cannot get over these cute kiddos... and the seersucker, the monograms... I die! Oh and let me just say, seeing a little boy's face totally light up behind the wheel of a firetruck has to  be one of the sweetest things ever.  Make sure to leave some blog love for this cute fam in the comments!
