Wanted to give a shout out to my buddy, Brandon, and his shiny new fianceé, Stacey.  If you follow the blog, you may remember Brandon from earlier this summer when he got his GQ on for a little photo shoot.  Sorry ladies, this one's taken.  Stacey is such a sweetheart, and I couldn't be happier for these two.  Last night after blindfolding her, carrying her through some muddy terrain at the park they had their first date at (see shoes below), reciting a poem to her and getting down on one knee, Brandon asked for Stacey's hand in marriage.  Apparently feeling pretty confident she would say yes [grin], Brandon planned a little engagement party at my friend Jeff's house last night for after the big moment.  We didn't get their 'til late becasue of a photo shoot and a dinner we had to go to earlier in the evening, but I had my camera in the car from the earlier session and cranked it up to ISO 4000 to fire off a few quick images of the soon-to-be husband and wife. Congratualtions, Brandon & Stacey!

Exhale... ahhh.  I've been excited for Maureen and JC to come in and see their images since we met two Saturdays ago on a perfect fall day at the Frito Lay corporate campus in Frisco, TX. We had a lot of fun - and a lot of Kylie's homemade chocolate chip cookies - as we soaked in their memoirs and reminisced about the day, and now I can finally share their images with the blogosphere. Here are some of my favorites of Maureen, JC, RJ and little Cassidy.

Cassidy is so stinkin' adorable.  This image is timeless.

There's something about this image that I just can't get enough of.  Oh, that's right... Cassidy's big blue eyes and her over-the-shoulder vintage 1940 pose.

Umm, hello?  GAP ad?

And finally, here's a couple of fun 20x20 canvas storyboards of Cassidy and RJ... too fun.
