WOW. Ashley and Dustyn are SUCH a great couple and these images show that! Such a WONDERFUL couple to work with, and attractive to boot! I couldn’t have asked for a better shoot to be my FIRST Engagement Session.

I know this is a LOT of photos, but i’m like that, there were just sooo many that I liked, that I didnt know what to delete. GRR dont you hate that?? I’m sure they will like having so many to choose from though.

This shoot took about 2 hours from start to finish, we shot this at a historical park in Farmer’s Branch, Texas (Dallas).

Also, when I got back to her place to say my goodbyes, her daughter was there and was LOVING the camera, so there are also a bunch of those. I also pulled out my ’strobist’ light kit, and used some off camera flash and umbrella action. I didn’t pull it out at the shoot outside, I know I should have, oh well.

I shot 750 photos (lots of eye blinks, weird smiles, hair in face, etc), and whittled them down to 177 that I posted online for them to choose from.

Everything was Processed in Lightroom and NEVER touched photoshop. It took about 3 hours to go from 750 photos to 177, and edited to my likings. Lightroom is really a time saver, if you arent using this, you are CRAZY.

and now for the awesome photos:
