Congratulations Alice!!! I'm finally able to post Alice's bridal portraits. Isn't she just gorgeous?! Her wedding gown by Maggie Sottero is just beautiful with all the lace details. There is something so romantic and special about seeing a bride in her bridal gown, it just makes me smile. When Alice came to me, she knew right away she wanted her bridal portraits to have a romantic style to them and I believe we achieved it. Be sure to stay tuned by following me on facebook at Photography By May or instagram to see her wedding pictures coming soon!

Below are some of my favorites from her bridal portrait session with me.

Katie is a graduating senior from Centennial High School in Frisco, Texas. Go! Titans. She wanted senior pictures that were modern, soft, in a natural environment yet with a fashion flair. I think we achieved it! I had a blast photographing Katie's senior pictures. It was a super windy day and my makeup artist almost took flight with my reflector. Now, that would have been a shot!

Check out what Katie had to say about her senior portrait shoot experience:

"You were amazing to work with and I would do it a million more times! THANK YOU so much for really capturing the person I am, Hopefully we can do all of this again!!!"

Well hello! I had the privilege of photographing this beautiful couple and their beloved dog Sassy. Meet Erica and Jake. Both being Crossfit junkies, they naturally met at the gym. On who approached the other first, I got a smile and a look. I still don't know, lol! But some things are better kept a secret, right?! Wink! Wink! Today, they both get to share and encourage each other in their quest for a fitter lifestyle.

I also had the honor of photographing Erica's parents and her brother and sister-in-law. If you haven't checked out their session, you should. Below are some of my favorites from their shoot with me.

Meet Ignacio and his newly wedded wife Paola. Such a sweet couple and so much in L.O.V.E. They were introduced by a member of their church family and soon began a long distance relationship. See Paola is originally from Mexico and is an orthodontist by profession (hence her beautifully aligned pearly whites) Distance just made their hearts grow for one another and thanks to technology aka Skype, they were able to stay connected. I wish them a life full of happiness, love and lots of laughter.

If you haven't check out Rios Family Part I, you should!

Where GOD and family comes first.......meet the Rios family. What a beautiful selfless family inside and out. They are very active at their church and they even pack thousands of meals for kids and families in the Philippines as a family. You should see them rocking it with their hair nets! 

I'm so happy to have met such a beautiful, loving family...

Thank you Erica and the rest of the Rios family for choosing me to capture a moment in your life!

Since we have so many amazing photos from their shoot this will be a 3 part blog. So be on the lookout for the next 2, you wouldn't want to miss it!

Thanks for stopping by......as always leave some love for this family with your "LIKES" and "COMMENTS". If you'd like to get on my calendar, don't delay and let's start planning your session today!

With Love ~ May

I don't know when it started,
Or how it all began.
But God created families,
As only our Lord can.
He was teaching what it means,
To love, honor, and obey.
He wanted a strong bond,
That we don't see too much today.
He wanted someone to hold us,
And show respect for others.
He wanted someone who'd be gentle,
And so he created mothers.
He wanted someone strong,
A support filled with love.
And so he created fathers,
Sent from heaven up above.
Brothers and sisters came next,
With that, an instant friend.
Someone to look up to,
Someone on whom to depend.
When he put them all together,
He was amazed at what he'd done.
He had created a family,
Mother, father, daughter, son.
But look at the family,
Created by only two.
How many we've become,
And all because of you.
We have a lot to be thankful for,
The memories through the years.
The many times together,
Full of laughter, full of tears.
I don't know where we'd be today,
If it weren't for the two of you.
To show us strength, support, and love,
Like only the two of you can do.
