2008 Booked

This is the fastest I have ever booked up! It's only March which is very exciting but this means that I cannot photograph anymore weddings this year. Please don't hesitate to email me for referrals. This year I've met so many amazing photographers and would love to pass along their info to you.

Also, for those of you getting married in 2009, the calendar is open and I am now accepting commissions for 2009 dates. I book anywhere from to a year or more in advance so don't hesitate to reserve your date now. My goal for 2009 is to devote specialized attention to my couples, I have some exciting things planned:) With this I will only be accepting a very limited number of weddings. Email me for an appointment & lets see if we are the perfect fit!

I am truly honored and humbled by how quickly my business has grown and I want to say thank you so much for all my wonderful clients that have refered me time and time again. Word of mouth is the best form of advertising. Thank you & hugs!! ~T

We now have two amazing boys together and everyday when Travis comes home they run to the door screaming DADDY DADDY DADDY! It's like a beautiful song that I never want to end. You see just a Travis was a wonderful boyfriend and husband, now he is an amazing daddy and for all of this he is my hero.

My Pilot:)

Many years ago I lived beside a small airport when Lee and I were dating. He had dreamed of being a pilot ever since he was a little boy, so he started taking lessons and became a private pilot. Well 10 years later Lee decided he would like to get paid for this sweet hobby;) He is in Texas right now and taking his final commercial checkride tomorrow...it's kind-of-a-big-deal so I wanted to share and to tell him how proud we are. No doubt you will do great!!! xoxo

.Go Daddy!!!

He is so talented! Plays the piano {fabulous} ...sings....

skydiver...pilot

Most importantly an amazing dad and husband. I'm so grateful for everything we have together.

Miss and love you,

Tracy
