I LOVE photographing cheerleaders! And I didn’t think I would. You know, too peppy, too concerned or self centered. But seriously? No way! Now maybe it’s because they know me through Summer Zoe so they felt comfortable with me. Who knows? But I do know, these girls are UP for anything! And they photograph so dang well!!!
Here’s your sneak peek, ladies! I’ll have your gallery posted later tonight!
Because some of you aren’t on facebook, here’s the sneak peek from Emily and Will’s rehearsal.

Beautiful day for a wedding, no? AMAZING blue skies welcomed the wedding day of Emily and Will. It was gorgeous! And I have so many photos to share with you. I spent the weekend in Abilene sharing in the celebration of family and friends. It was heavy on the laughs and kisses and great times!
I have to give a “shout out” to Jennifer Nieland who came to my rescue when one of my camera bodies failed on me Friday. My cameras get plenty of wear and tear in the wedding season, which is why they visit Canon USA at least once every 6 months. Well, one decided on Friday that it needed a break. I blew the shutters. And my new body that I ordered 2 weeks ago has been on back order. Sooooo….what to do? I have to have 2 camera bodies. Yes. You can shoot a wedding with one, but you’d be pretty stupid too. What if something goes wrong? What if my next body decides to go on break?
Lubbock (Armadillo Camera) was 2 1/2 hours away as was Ft. Worth (Arlington Camera). And the local Best Buy? Nothing but P+S’s baby! So, I logged into DWF.
Digital Wedding Forum to the rescue! I’ve been a member for years and the photogs on that board are KNOWN for coming to the rescue. I did a quick search, found Jennifer and PM’d her. She replied and loaned me her camera for the day! Thank you, Jennifer! I hope the baby shower went great! It’s important to have back up at weddings and even though i could have winged it with one body for the day, you always have to plan for the worse. She really helped me out and put my mind at ease.
On to the sneak peek! As always, you can view the rest of their sneak peek on their wedding gallery. CLICK HERE
Emily, checking out the sneak peek from the rehearsal on the curb at the BM Luncheon. Too cute!
This is what father of the brides do on the wedding day after a morning of golf. Yep. RELAXING. I now know he was getting ready for those dancing shoes! This dad can boogie!
Pat, Emily’s future MIL, got her something soft for her feet!
Beautiful eyes! Beautiful profile!
I LOVE this shot of Will and his nephew Jackson. LOVE IT!
Oh, yeah. Studs on a wall.
And THE stud of the day! Emily, if you are reading this, when your bridesmaids came to find me, you know the moment? You were getting nervous while I was taking photos of the guys and we were running late? THIS is what I was getting baby! So so worth it!
Happy bride!
Happy Mom. I have a word to describe Emily’s mom. I’ve spent time with her at the bridals, time with her on the wedding weekend.
GRACE
That is the BEST word to describe this woman. She’s classy, very graceful and just wonderful to be around. PLUS, she clued me in on some yummy marinade for cooking for a family. Thank you, Suzy!
Mr. Shahan? All your favorite girls in the world. LOVE this!
The images below is the FOG (father of the groom) pep talking the flower girl. There’s a lot of down time when you are in a wedding. She did AWESOME! Allison is a very touchy, sweetheart of a girl! She was a trooper the entire day and the PERFECT flower girl. I have it on high authority that she would love to do this again, so if you are looking for the perfect flower girl, she’s the ONE!
Emily’s dad in his down time.
I always hesitate to add words to the ceremony time. It’s that time during the day where I go FULL MODE photographer and there’s so many emotions, looks, feelings that come into play. They are totally in LOVE and really worked hard to make this day about family and friends. This shot below is the pay off of that hard work. The reason this weekend is even here, THEM.
MARRIED!
This was taken in the stairwell to the balcony. LOVED the light! LOVED the moment!
First dance with dad. I’m just saying, dad’s a dancer.
Okay, I’m no law buff, I don’t even watch Law and Order or any of those crime law shows, but this cake? Way cool!!!
Jackson, at the beginning of the reception getting his groove on.
Jackson at the middle of the reception, taking a breather. LOL
The TCU gang!
What a great night! I’ll have the rest up on the gallery soon!

Last night was MEET THE PIRATES at the new Cooper Stadium. WOW! I’d been there before with the Cooper Cheer Squad, but it’s different when there’s the band, and the crowd, and the teams! So much fun! You can view all the photos we took by CLICKING HERE. And don’t forget! If you need to find your way again to the Cooper Pirate Photos, just click the link button in the menu at the top.
Check out our Lady Pirates! BEAUTIFUL!
Stephanie, if you are still reading, how cute are these faces?!?! HUH? 
American State Bank provided the tents for the crowd. I heard the burgers were mighty tasty! Thanks Booster club!
WOW! The Pirate Sports’ Network in full force on that beautiful screen!!!
My dentist was there with her bunch! Loved their colors and begged them for a photo. Ok. I didn’t have to beg too hard. :)
Becca and Seagan! Cute cute cute!
Jayden and Allysa were there representing!
Okay, so my oldest, Miss Marie, is in yearbook and I was so excited because Meet the Pirates was her first gig. We get to shoot together and she actually got some great stuff!
The seniors of the Lady Pirate VB Team!!
Okay, it’s too cool. The camera’s are wireless and at any 2nd you can look up and see your BUTT on live TV! Not a fun site at all for me and this will definitely take some getting used to. I had to photograph the camera man and make him PROMISE to NOT take my butt shot. But it’s so cool to see the action up there. WOW! Pirate Sports Network! Too cool!
Hey, girls!
Everywhere you look, happy faces just ready for a new start, a new year!
Guess who did the ribbon cutting? Swaget Parajulee was there to dedicate the new stadium! Very cool and I don’t know the guy personally, but everyone else there must have! The crowd CHEERED like crazy!
I still can’t get over how much more boys grow than girls at this age. YIPES! These boys used to look up at my camera! Not anymore!
The 9th Grade UNDEFEATED volleyball team! WOW!
Kalyn and Danielle rocking the bangs. Looking great girls!
I had to take a photo with me and Piper. Her and Summer Zoe have been friends forever and she throws the BEST parties. I swear I wanna be 14 again and go!
Bunny, Cari and me. It was so great to watch these ladies greet the students as the came out of the tunnel and were announced before the crowds. Total love for their kids, let me tell you. Oh, to teach again!
Too cute!!!!
And my favorite faces of all. Boo, missed shooting with you this year. For sure soon, DEAL?
