We are twin sisters who feel blessed to do what we love - together. We love our husbands and children, and are inspired by the Creator of the fascinating subjects we photograph. We love crooked smiles, belly laughs, freckles, and all the other little things that are unique to you.
We also love movies (especially musicals), snowcones, waterslides, raspberries, rain, hot fudge ice cream cakes, and anything vintage. Thanks for stopping by. We hope you take a look around and drop us a note to let us know what you think.

We couldn’t wait to share with you this beautiful wedding and this beautiful couple! Thank you Stephanie and David for bringing us onboard to be apart of this day. The love that was so evident between the bride and groom, and the love from all of the family and friends, made the day amazing! The weather was beautiful, the golf course was gorgeous, and the reception was a PARTY! It was such a great experience! Thanks again guys for including us!
Meet Mr. Giraffe. He is my little creation I dreamed up while playing in photoshop. Yes, photoshop is great for playing with actual pictures, but what about creating some cute art? Oh, yes sir-eeee! If you would like to walk through the steps to create your own one-of-a-kind cartoon friend then keep reading. It is a fun creative art project for those of us incapable of drawing or painting with ‘real’ paints and pencils. :) Hope you enjoy this tutorial!
Step: 1- I took the paint brush tool and simply drew my guy. Now, I am no artist, but because photoshop is so forgiving anyone can create a cute cartoon friend. If you mess up that is what the amazing eraser tool is for! 
Step 2: As you can see he needed a bright fun background so using the ‘fill’ tool which looks like the little paint bucket, I decided on a bright red, clicked and voila….instant color. Now, to add a little texture to it, I then went in and placed a texture over the entire thing and again with my eraser tool, erased the texture from the giraffe, so all that remained was some texture over my red background. Side Note: Not sure why it is showing up orange on here, but it is still the bright red.
Step 3: I decided I wanted to give him a little texture, so I found a cute green polka dot paper and once I placed it over my giraffe, I simply erased all of the areas except for the ones I wanted to be green polka dotted. Easy peasy!
Step 4: And finally, I picked another color that I thought would work well with my chosen color palette and, once again, used the paint bucket to fill in his spots, head, etc.
So, there you have it….
Just to spotlight him even more I placed him here in this template at different sizes to show off his cuteness. And, why stop with one little guy when there are SO many that you can play with!
What a wonderful Valentines Day this year! Jonathan and I dressed Gracie up in the sweetest little tutu that my sister made for her and headed to the park for Gracie’s first Valentines Day! We had a picnic, we played, and of course, took pictures! It was a beautiful windy day that was full of laughter and love and my two favorite people. Perfect.
It’s another Friday full of photoshop fun! In honor of Valentine’s Day coming up I decided to photograph the “love” banner I made for my family’s upcoming photo shoot. The first image is straight out of the camera.
Here is the end result. This is after cropping the image, rotating it slightly, using a black and white action, and adding some color to the hearts. I love playing with images in photoshop! It’s fun getting creative!
It is always special when your work is recognized as worthy by someone , and we were so honored when Every Little Detail Blog wanted to feature a recent wedding we had shot on their wedding blog. This eclectic fun wedding was a perfect fit for their fun modern and vintage loving blog, and we thought they did a great job of capturing all the great details of this precious wedding.
If you click the button above it will take you to the first part of the blog post. They did the feature in two parts, so don’t forget to check out the second one as well! And don’t forget to leave a comment!!
So, once again it is time for a photo that has been ‘tweaked’ by a little photoshop magic. Although most of our photos are touched by photoshop, there are others that we really play with and try to push the creative envelope. For this Photoshop Friday I chose to show you a photo of my sweet nephew that I grunged up a bit.
Here is the original photo.
And here it is after giving it a nice vintage action and playing with the burn tool.
And finally, the end result after overlaying two textures and playing with their opacities. I just love the contrast of the beauty of the setting and the worn grunge of the textures. LOVE! Whoever says photography is all business needs to learn to play with their pictures!!! Have fun!
Photoshop Friday. This is a fun new twist on typical photos. We started this to a.) be more creative b.) improve our photoshop skills and c.) make funny pictures of our loved ones. Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
This is how it started. Cool picture of a flying seagull.
This is the end result. Gracie riding on the flying seagull in a magical land.

This photo was made by cutting and pasting images together, as well as blending several pictures. We’ll be posting more images each Friday, so stay tuned for more photoshop fun!
I ‘heart’ these pictures!!! I love bold bright colors with a vintage look to them, and throw in my sweet son and his awesome expressions and you’ve got one fun photo shoot. I love any excuse to grab some fun props, get outside and start shooting. So, in honor of valentine’s day I thought I would post these pictures. What I really love about the art of photography is that the sky is the limit! You can turn ordinary pictures into creative expressions just by a little imagination! So, I hope you have a wonderful valentine’s day, and snap a few creative shots of the ones you love.
Whenever we have the privilege of hanging out with this amazing group of girls, whether in Austin, or Rockwall, or a crazy creepy Parrot Bungalow, amazing memories are made. Last year we decided to create a photo booth in the hotel room. We put on some flashy accessories, cranked up the music, and snapped pictures along the way! I mean seriously, how fun are these girls?!!!!!
