Lauren & Trevor – dallas wedding photography

Jess — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 01:24:45 +0000

June 8th was such a happy HAPPY day! Seriously… the joy from these two could not be contained. It was a fun, laid-back, joy-filled day that started with mimosas and ended with one out of control dance party at Hickory Street Annex. Those horned frogs… they know how to dance. For real. Lauren and Trevor: thank you for giving me the joy of photographing your wedding… I hope we can hang out all the time and be besties :) jb

A big thank you to Amanda Jameson for second-shooting!

Rowland Family – Dallas family photography

Oh my goodness… check out this family. Heather Rowland is a ridiculously talented Fort Worth wedding photographer – I was so honored to photograph her and her guys. I’m so thrilled to have encouraging, wonderful moms like her in my life to look to for help or advice. She is blessing – we love you, Heather!

Annnnddd… my favorite picture of the shoot :) Heather, I hope you don’t hate me. I couldn’t help myself.

The Hospitality Sweet – 400 North Ervay

Jess — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 18:53:34 +0000

Oh this is my new happy place! I couldn’t be more honored to photograph The Hospitality Sweet’s new space in the old Dallas Post Office at 400 North Ervay (downtown Dallas). The Hospitality Sweet, owned by the INCREDIBLE Meghan Adams, is such a perfect space of loveliness and yummy treats. Stop in for a cup of coffee, stay for a pastry (or four), pick up cupcakes for the weekend or have lunch with friends.

You’ll most likely find me and Henry camped out in the corner with a stream of vanilla lattes coming to our table :)

Happy Friday! Go get a cupcake :)

Love, jb

There’s nothing like a lovely summer engagement… ah, the summer sun. Find someone you love, get out in the sun and count the things in your life to be grateful for. Love like this is such a gift.

Katherine Anne + Joel : Seaside, Florida wedding photography

Jess — Tue, 28 May 2013 18:10:18 +0000

Y’all….. I’M BAAAAACCCCKKKKK!!!! Shooting a wedding has never felt so good. After taking off the last few months at the end of my pregnancy & beginning of our time with little Henry, I shot my first wedding back in Seaside, FL and. it. was. BEAUTIFUL

Katherine Anne is a wedding videographer and was incredibly understanding, hospitable and just all-around wonderful to work with and be around (if you know her, it’s no surprise). It’s so great working with couples that are a part of the wedding industry – it usually makes the preparation and scheduling smoother on the day-of because they know what to expect. It’s just lovely :) She is the definition of grace and beauty… no wonder Joel was so excited to marry her! We traveled down to Seaside, Florida for their gorgeous wedding in the Seaside Chapel. The wedding party and family had cottages all over Seaside… we meandered around before and after the wedding and grabbed the pretty Florida light all over the quaint streets, cottages and the beach. I could photograph Katherine Anne and Joel every weekend. It was an absolute honor, y’all!

A special thanks to Lindsey Shea Photography for coming with us to Seaside to second-shoot!

Jack is on the way!

These two need no introduction… Courtney’s boots grace the top of my blog every day (see above… ha!). They are our dear friends, neighbors and now buddies with us as we figure out how to raise baby boys together. To say that Courtney has been a life-saver over the last 9 months would be the understatement of the year… she is one of the dearest blessings and I count it a privilege to know and love this family. Jack: WE CAN’T WAIT TO MEET YOU!!

Sweet Jack : we can’t wait to welcome you into Briarwood. You are loved, little guy!

Miss Graycen : 6 months old

This little lady is FULL of personality (I wonder where she gets it from…? :)) – I just love Graycen and her sweet family!

Henry’s Nursery – personal

Jess — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 14:54:57 +0000

Please forgive me for my absence from blogging… I have been taking some much-needed time to catch up on editing, regroup/refocus and get ready for our sweet baby boy’s arrival (any day now)! I still have a couple of open wedding dates for 2013 (and we have started booking for 2014) – I would love to hear from you brides, so keep ‘em coming! :) We will kick off spring/summer wedding season with a GORGEOUS Seaside, Florida wedding in May, so watch out. It’s going to be an incredible summer…

—————————-

I wanted to share some images of our little nursery with you guys before life gets crazy with a newborn… (I figured it would never be this clean again)! This room is such a collaboration of love from our friends and family and it’s become my favorite little corner of the world during the last few months. When we found out we were having a boy and started planning Henry’s nursery last year, I kept thinking, “Colorado comfortable.” If I could trick this little guy into thinking he grew up in Colorado, I’ve accomplished my goal. Ha! Too bad he will know it’s Texas when we open the door and it’s 105 degrees :/

No, but really: I pray we have created a comfortable, simple, lovely space for Henry to sleep, grow, and know he is so ridiculously, dearly and out of control loved.
