Thank You Veterans & Those Serving

Today is Veteran's Day, and we just wanted to say "Thank You" to all those who've served and all those who are serving. We owe our Freedoms to you for the Sacrifices you made and make everyday. Wishing you a day full of Peace. We are Honored and Humbled by your Service.

Thank You!



"We are all dishonored anytime a Veteran sleeps on the same streets they defended."

Fall Family Portraits

It's that time of year again! This is one of our favorite seasons! FALL!!!

It's about taking in all the beauty of the changing of the trees, the crisp air, and the family gatherings to start the celebrations of the upcoming Holidays.



This year, we are doing something a little different. All of those families who have family portraits with us during the month of November, will help those in need. Part of the proceeds from the sales will go to help those in Haiti via the Red Cross. The earthquake earlier this year was devastating to that region, with millions of people still living in tent villages. Please help us in reaching out a helping hand this Holiday Season. You can also visit www.thehaitiprojekt.com for additional ways you can help the relief efforts through music.



Thanks so much for all of your help & support! A special thanks to Brian Cobb and Martin Kornick for all of their hard work for this cause. Thanks also to the Red Cross for all of their humanitarian efforts in Haiti and throughout the world.

Happy Halloween!

We hope you had a wonderful and safe Halloween!

Love,

your Light Artistry Family

Jessica & Nick

A little over a week ago, I had the honor of helping a colleague with a beautiful wedding at the Dallas Arboretum. Although the day started off with rainy weather, it couldn't dampen the spirits of the Bride & Groom on their special day! A beautiful setting for the ceremony, even though it had to be moved indoors, with a special couple, and their families and friends gathered around for the celebration of a new beginning, was wonderful! Jessica & Nick continued the celebration at one of their favorite Italian restaurants, Cafe' Italia, in Grapevine. With toasts, laughter, tears, & dancing, the celebration was a perfect setting for Jessica & Nick's new journey together.

Here are some of our favorite memories of that special day! Enjoy!

Mary Jane's 90th Birthday

We were invited to photograph Mary Jane's family at her 90th birthday party not long ago. Wow! What wonderful people! :) Ms. Mary Jane was so sweet and happy that her family was there to celebrate with her. It was a beautiful day!

Thought we'd share...Happy Birthday, Mary Jane! :0)

Nelson Wedding

We are always honored to share in special days and occassions.

The wedding of John and Cherrie was no exception. What a beautiful ceremony and happy couple! While we edited these images, we couldn't stop smiling as we looked upon the beaming bride and remembered the couple's special day!

Here's a few of our favorites! Enjoy! :)

Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders

A couple of weeks ago, I was able to work with two of my mentors at a private corporation's conference where the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders were there for photos and entertainment. Here's a pic with me and the girls! They look awesome! (Feeling some guy envy atm). ;)

Thanks to my colleagues and to the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders! :)

60 Years and Still Counting...

Nancy and John Alderman celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary about two weeks ago. We had the pleasure of being invited to record the family for family portraits. All that John and Nancy wanted were photos taken with their family. They had a small, private celebration for close friends and family that was captured solely for them and by them.

Thanks for such a wonderful hour with your family, John and Nancy. A shout out to daughter Diane and son-in-law Ron for introducing us all! Thanks to the Alderman's other two children and their three beautiful granddaughters. We had some good laughs! :)

John & Nancy, Congratulations! Here's to another 60 years!

Yukari & Ian

OK, so here are a couple of my favorite clients! (OK you're all my favorite clients, just don't tell the others). ;)

Anyways, Ian & Yukari recently got married in a small private ceremony with a reception that followed around a couple of months ago. (see first set of pics). Anyways, they've known each other since grade school in Hawaii. Well,...they went back to Hawaii about three weeks ago. These are some images we captured from their final shoot (for now) with us. (They were having a James Dean/Marilyn moment).

Thanks guys for all that you do and all that you are! Miss you! :)

July 3rd

These were just a few snapshots that were taken at the Ft. Worth Symphony's Concerts in the Garden Series in honor of our home, country, and the men and women who fight for our beliefs everyday. We went with our friends who drove up from south Texas for a mini get together(i.e. dinner and a firework show...o yeah, there was some conversing too!) Anyways, thought we'd share a bit with all of you...enjoy!

Had a wonderful time! Thank you to the Symphony and to our wonderful friends!

the BIG Move....

Well, for those of you who don't know, and that would be 99.99% of you...we recently moved. Just across town from the last location, but nonetheless a move...So, we are excited about a bit more room for doing what we love. (This is short and sweet...).



Come by and see us and the new place! We'd love to have you come visit! :)

'Becca Jane

This little cutie was born 6 weeks before her time. These were taken about the time of the predicted "due date". Well, she just couldn't wait to get her little self into this massive world(that everyday gets smaller). So, here she is....introducing Ms. 'Becca...and her family :).

What a joy to photograph this small wonder in her own little world! We had so much fun that the whole family decided to get in on the action.

Thanks for such a wonderful time with your family, Fincanons! Always so much fun! :)

Texas School

In the Beginning there was Darkness....and then there was Light and TX School!!! :)

WOW! What an experience! I had the best week in early May attending Texas School! (This is a place where all of the coolest photographers come together and learn, teach, bounce off ideas, ask questions, form friendships, and build their businesses doing what they love and learning from their heroes/mentors/colleagues). This was my first time attending, and I had so much fun and learned so much. I just hope I can do my mentors/teachers/and colleagues proud. Most of all, I want to show my clients why they should choose Light Artistry for all their photography needs.

I learned something else at Texas School, and it's the biggest: I need to be braver at being myself!

Thanks Mary and Jamie for everything!

SO...enough typing...here's some images for your enjoyment. Some are from class, (most everyone in class have these same shots..some from different angles, etc, but these were taken by us), one is of the class (everyone got a class picture made...Ours was the BEST!!! IMO :) This image is scanned from a final print that was given to everyone in the class), and some are from our Shoot Out on Thursday before our final farewells on Friday!

Neil Armstrong

On Easter Sunday, the day before the latest space shuttle launch, I was privileged enough to be asked to join a couple of my fellow colleagues in photographing chosen families in the DFW area with Neil Armstrong. What an AMAZING experience! :) Although I didn't get to go on the plane to Florida to photograph and then watch the launch early on that Monday, I DID get to not only photograph Mr. Armstrong with those families, but I also got to speak with him and have my picture taken, as well. Everything was shot on green screen, and the background was designed by my colleagues' team at their company and put in later that morning. While the shuttle launch and some touring at Kennedy Space Center was going on in Florida, back at home the photos that were taken the previous evening were edited, printed, framed, and awaited the families upon their arrival at Love Field the next afternoon.

I just want to say "Thank You" to both Mr. Armstrong and my colleagues for such a wonderful experience.

West Texas

Late last month I got to go to my first ever Body Building Show in Lubbock, TX. It was quite an experience! For those of you who have never been, it could be....um...different or even a bit scary. LOL Well, anyways, thought I'd share some of the Night Show images. Enjoy! :)

Texas Snow

WOW! Can you believe this?* This is definitely NOT a normal Texas winter. The snow started falling early Thursday morning and didn't stop until late Thursday night into early Friday morning (in some areas). The DFW area broke any standing record with this snowfall, according to the National Weather Service. Apparently, the record for about 45+ years was 12.2". However, with this winter storm, the DFW area's record is now 12.5". While some areas, such as north Ft. Worth (near Alliance airport), saw over 13", others saw less than 10". It was so BEAUTIFUL to watch and look at. I have to confess, however, that I didn't actually drive in it so, I'm sure that was not so fun. My husband says that our brother-in-law from Massachusetts would say 12.5" was "a good snow", while 4" is "a dusting". I'm sure they are laughing at us Southerners trying to make our way around down here, even though by now quite a bit of the white stuff is melted. :0) What a spectacular Winter Wonderland! Makes me want to move where there's actually seasons! But then again. . . .

*These images show the progression of the snow from the morning throughout the day and into the following morning. Look at the birds in the last image...this was the following morning.
