Mix Tape Monday ala Tuesday…SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE TOUR? YES, PLEASE!

Jennifer — Tue, 07 Sep 2010 17:09:14 +0000

It’s been awhile since I posted a Mix Tape Monday post. I have a lot to update from my past posts…so I’ll try to do that as succinctly as possible!
-We got to see Silversun Pickups with our friend Mary this summer at The Warehouse in Houston. We stood for about four hours but it was totally worth it!
-I have been diligently watching through Meryl Streep’s film catalogue which will have to be a separate post to tell you my thoughts thus far, but I have to say that “Out of Africa,” is so far my favorite and she is an incredible actress.
-I finished the book “The Crowning Glory of Cala Lily Ponder,” and even though I enjoyed most of it, I wouldn’t recommend it…sorry!

And finally what I came to post…today is my birthday. Jeremy got me tickets to see the “So You Think You Can Dance” Tour coming through Houston in two weeks and for those who know, I am a little obsessed with the show so needless to say-I AM EXCITED. And in honor of that excitement I am posting my favorite routine of season seven. So get your boogie shoes on and enjoy!

Braelyn-Baby’s First Year Photo Shoot Part 2 | Spring, TX Photographer

Remember this bundle of joy? Well…she is growing so fast and a few weeks ago I was able to photograph part 2 of Braelyn’s “Baby’s First Year” shoot. Her parents and I went out to Old Town Spring and battled the humidity…I think we won that battle though! Here are a few of my faves. (Also, I LOVED that Braelyn showed up in a Texas Tech outfit. She is definitely a little Red Raider)!

Run Seth Run…one more from Brett + Kim’s Wedding

It’s funny, I set this shot up for the bridal party to run at the bride and groom but I forgot to tell them to stop and as you can see Seth didn’t (and as you can tell by Kim’s face-she totally thought he was going to run into her)!

Brett + Kim Wedding | Lubbock, Texas Wedding Photographer

YEA BRETT AND KIM ARE MARRIED! I love these two people-and I am so thankful I had the opportunity to capture their special day the last weekend in July. I have known Brett and Kim for a long time now-both through Campus Crusade for Christ at Texas Tech…I met Kim her freshman year living in Stangel and through many trips by her room, Women’s Retreat planning, and just living life together-she is dear to my heart. And the Marcos family is legendary-Brett comes from a long line of people that I’ve known for years & also love starting with his parents, Jesse and Tricia and his sisters-Jessica and Julia. And did I mention I am friends with most of the wedding party as well? This equals a VERY FUN WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY SHOOT for me! Thanks Brett and Kim for your love, encouragement, and friendship. Thanks to Courtney Ryburn for second shooting and helping me tremendously, and Jennifer Boyd who not only designed the invitations for the wedding at Hodgepodge Design, but also played the role of my assistant that day. Jenn-you are such a good friend to me! A huge thanks to both these girls…I could not have made it without either of you! Here are my favorites that tell the story of their wedding day (and grab a diet coke b/c this is a long one)!

This is just one of the many photos of the dancing that went on while getting ready!

The following 9 images of Brett and the boys getting ready were shot by Courtney Ryburn!

There was a mix up with the shoe sizes and poor Spencer had to wear these boats!

Brett and Kim had a sweet “first look” moment…

I love these three!

I just couldn’t resist these two pictures-Millie and Amanda were definitely tearing up the dance floor!

Kim Bridal-Lubbock, Texas Wedding Photographer

Back in May, I had another bridal adventure photographing my sweet friend Kim’s bridals. Most of the bridal photography I’ve had the honor to shoot have usually involved crazy circumstances (from food poisoning to 50 mph wind/dirt storms)…and this one was no different. A huge storm had blown into Lubbock with massive amounts of rain. As I was driving into town, I could not see how we would be able to shoot if something didn’t change. Thankfully, the skies parted for the length of time we shot, and it ended up being a beautiful session. Here a few of my favorites of the new Mrs. Brett Marcos. Check back soon for Brett + Kim’s awesome wedding day on the blog!
Mary and Megan came along to help and they had some sweet dance moves that just had to be captured!Oh Lubbock wind! How I’ve missed you!I LOVE TEAM MARCOS!
