Gosh, you guys . . . there is SO much blogging to be done, it’s just crazy! As you probably know, we are at the beginning of the slowing-down of wedding season and I think I might actually get to catch my breath pretty soon! There’s so, so much stuff I haven’t blogged, but my priority has always been to get my pictures to my clients quickly and with beautiful processing, so that’s been what I’ve been up to! Here’s a few pictures from one of my favorite brides’ bridal session. Sarah is beautiful outside and in - and we had a blast getting together for these! She got married a few weeks ago, so I can finally post them - yay!
This one was SO.MUCH.FUN to shoot! We love us some Jason and Lindsey! The day held a couple of firsts for us:
- First time a bride sang a solo during the procession of the wedding party. Linds - you nailed it! You’re insanely talented and it was a joy to hear your angel voice!
- First game of duck-duck-goose at a reception. Pretty dang awesome.
What an wonderfully memorable day! Jason and Lindsey: thank you SO much for having us there to capture all the fun and craziness! We adore the two of you!
The flower girls were being SO cute on the ride over to the ceremony! And their moms were pretty sweet, too!
Lindsey was simply radiant!
I loved that they took a moment to honor their parents during the ceremony.
I’m going to post a few more dancing pictures than I normally do because these people BROUGHT IT on the dance floor . . . pretty FUN stuff!
No, your eyes do not deceive you . . . that IS a nun . . .
Duck, duck . . .
GOOSE!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THIS!
Oh, I totally forgot: FIRST time the bride’s uncles were waiting for she and the groom in the getaway vehicle! Priceless!
Ceremony: The Chapel of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio TX

August 5, 2010 - 2:56 pmTali - HAHAHAHAHAHA. I love this.
August 6, 2010 - 9:26 pmKaty Regnier - Stacy I can't believe you put your son in a toilet. That is too hilarious (and I totally would have done the same thing)
August 18, 2010 - 5:34 pmRachel Brooke - He is growing so fast! And still so stinkin' cute! :)
September 1, 2010 - 2:33 amStacy Sodolak - ummm yeah that is just too precious!
“Stacy. You are amazing. These photos make me want to cry they are so good! I am soooo happy with your work. You are our family’s photographer FOR LIFE! Go ahead and clear January 2nd for their birthday party!” - Kerry (Shucks, thanks Kerry! The pleasure was mine!)
Carli and Vivi are growing up FAST! And I’m just trying to keep up with my camera! It is such an honor that Laura and Kerry keep calling me to capture these precious little ones. I am inspired by their love of photography and their value of documenting their little girls’ lives, each tiny step at a time. K, L, C, and V - love you all!
Today marks the 7th Anniversary of the day that Stan and I were married . . . Happy Anniversary to US! When I look back through our wedding pictures, I can’t help but ask myself who those young kids in the pictures are! It’s just amazing how much you can change - inside and out - in just a few short years. But one thing that remains strong and true: I am SO blessed and SO thankful that I chose Stan Cross as my husband and that he took me as his bride 7 short years ago. I love the life that we’ve built together and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for our little family. Stan - I love you and I celebrate the incredible husband and father that you are! Thank you for seven blissful years!
August 2, 2010 - 2:53 pmTira J - Yay!!!! Happy Anniversary to you and Stan!
August 2, 2010 - 4:22 pmMeredith - Wow- I can't believe it was 7 years ago! It sounds like a lot and a little at the same time. Congratulations to you both!
Love,
Your maid of honor:)

John and Summer were married just two weeks ago out at the beautiful Chateau on the Creek and we LOVED sharing their day with them! This couple is so genuinely and deeply head-over-heels for one another and it’s so precious to watch. John was literally giddy ALL day - what a cutie! Here are a few of our favorite pictures from their day!
Just wanted to pop my head in and let you know I haven’t fallen off the face of the planet! In fact, I’ve been doing a LOT of living - and working - in the past few weeks, which has left my office chair cold and alone and my blog seemingly un-loved. Never fear: I’ve been busy racking up tooooons of shoots to share with you soon! Until then, here’s just a couple of previews . . .

We’ve often joked that once Quin learns how to crawl, we will have raised him well, and it would then be time for him to get a job. Well, folks - that time has finally come! Quin has been crawling backwards and in a circle for about a month and now, at the ripe ole age of 9 months, Quin can crawl forwards. He is still a bit wobbly, but we LOVE it and are so proud of our little man! He learned to crawl just a couple days ago in Southlake at Stan’s parents’ house, so it was fun to share this milestone with the family!
July 15, 2010 - 8:40 amCortney - Oh goodness that is a cute kid!!! I miss him. I'll call you this afternoon!
July 21, 2010 - 9:25 amApril - Oh my word... this is the cutest thing in the world!! Aww.. soak it up while you can because he will be walking before you know it.. and then climbing!!!
Miss you both!
A few months ago, I had the pleasure of capturing sweet little baby Turner’s newborn portraits. He was a mere 2 weeks old and oh-so-precious! I was amazed at how quickly I had forgotten how tiny, wrinkly, and sleepy a newborn is. I absolutely fell in love with this little guy and can’t wait to shoot him again in November!
I love the neck stretch . . .
Turner seriously slept for 99.5 percent of our session! Good thing he looks PERFECT while he’s sleeping!
I almost ate those sweet baby toes . . . true story.
As much as it pained me to get this next shot, I recognized how sweet it would be to catch a shot of Turner with the A&M hat that his Grandpa had gotten for him!
Arlin and Sharon are such natural parents. They’re so calm, gentle, and sweet.
As I walked through the house, collecting items for our session, I stumbled upon a bunch of old Dr. Seuss books that Sharon had when she was a baby. What a special thing to now pass along to her little guy!
I had to show you just a couple of shots I took of Turner’s room as he was eating before bed. The shot on the left is of a lamp that Sharon had as a baby that they now use in Turner’s room. I had the same one as a baby, too! I love it! The shot on the right makes me SO happy.
There’s so, so much stuff I haven’t blogged, but my priority has always been to get my pictures to my clients quickly and with beautiful processing, so that’s been what I’ve been up to! Here’s a few pictures from one of my favorite brides’ bridal session. Sarah is beautiful outside and in - and we had a blast getting together for these! She got married a few weeks ago, so I can finally post them - yay!
