Carson Gregory was born on November 19th at 1:35am to my wife and I.  He was 8 pounds and 20 inches long and he has changed my life forever.  I am just so excited about being a Dad and it's a possibility that I might take too many photos, but I will try to control myself.

As a wedding photographer I am always excited to photograph the first dances with the parents and it wasn't till Carson was born that I can fully understand the emotions between the parents and their children during that dance.  I just can't imagine the day that he gets married and I experience those same emotions.  It's just all so amazing.

Here I am not long after he was born.  My hand is so much bigger than him.

Ray and Elizabeth are getting married in New Orleans, but wanted a Dallas photographer for their engagement session.  I am very honored to have been chosen to do this for them.  We headed down to downtown Dallas for this and at first I didn't think I would anything to use for the pictures, but then I stumbled upon some really cool stuff and I just love the way these pictures turned out.  I really like the one of the two of them walking in front of the white wall and Ray has a huge smile on his face and Elizabeth is laughing.  I was laughing when I was taking this picture.

Andrew and Alyssa are a cute couple that are in graduate school together.  They were a lot of fun to work with and natural in front of the camera, which is always a plus in my book.  I can't wait to document their wedding day and see these two look at each other for the first time as husband and wife.

J.B. and Kelly are the couple that I photographed at the State Fair of Texas when it was raining not long ago.  Since it was raining I promised Kelly another engagement session since she really wanted photographs of her hair dry rather than wet.  So, we went to the Dallas Arboretum. This was my first time there for an engagement session and it turned out to be full of opportunities despite the crowds.

On my way back home from an engagement shoot I stopped to check out the new Opera House in downtown Dallas.  It's a beautiful building and I wish I could have stayed longer to take more pictures of it.  Check out these shots I got.
