Had so much fun with these two cuties this week! And talk about an Amanda Seyfried look-a-like, mirite? Can’t wait for the wedding coming up fast next month!
BRIANNA + BRIEN | Midtown Garden Engagement Session | OKC, OK
Posted by in Engagements - (1 Comments)Megan and Matthew had a beautifully-styled wedding in downtown OKC this spring! Soft and whimsical with a modern, industrial edge in the Magnolia Building‘s warehouse style loft space. Complete with a rooftop first look against the city’s skyline and send-off in a vintage car!
Thanks to all the wonderful vendors involved, including planner Ariana of Aisle Be With You Events.

ZOMBIES ARE PEOPLE TOO – Conceptual Photo Series
Posted by in Art | Art Show | Fashion - (2 Comments)This project was my baby for over an entire year. It’s no secret I’m completely drawn to the edgy and unusual. I had the inspiration back in a college photo class- many years before the project culminated in a successful show to debut the finalized series at Brass Bell Studios in Oklahoma City back in October. (No mistake that it shared the month with the best holiday- Halloween!) A huge thanks to everyone who came out to support me in one of the artistic accomplishments that I’m most proud of so far. But if you weren’t at the opening, I’m finally releasing the images online here on my blog, so I hope you enjoy!
“ZOMBIES ARE PEOPLE TOO” is a conceptual and artist portrait photography series. The photos force together the opposing aesthetic themes of high-end fashion and the dark style of a modified zombie. It has solidified into a group of styled photo shoots, employing traditional fashion models who are eerily made up to resemble the living dead. The scenes are set in locations across Oklahoma (and one in New York). Click the link below to view the trailer for the series, made by the very talented Andrew Sloat. It was filmed during Caitlin’s shoot in New York.

I couldn’t have done any of this without the extremely talented Jessica Fulton, my HMUA for the entire project. She was able to execute my vision perfectly and stuck it out with me through the year and a half it took to complete the series. I’d also like to the thank the models who appeared in the photos- for humoring my crazy idea and being willing to go out in public with a pound of black makeup on their faces (especially the guys) and quite possibly scaring some children. Their names are listed with each photo.

I’ll be following up with some behind the scenes photos and a post about the show opening at Brass Bell. I may also share some B-sides (photos that were not part of the final series, but great none the less). So stay tuned for those!
Here are some favorites from Dan and Amanda’s engagement shoot! They live in Tulsa so I enjoyed getting out of OKC and shooting in some new locations.
Free Tulsa is an annual music festival in Tulsa Oklahoma. I had the opportunity to attend again this year and got some photos of some of my favorite locals!
I’m so excited about this destination engagement shoot that I got to do for a friend in NYC! Such a unique opportunity! They’re a completely photogenic couple, even with Ryan battling a cold at the time! We hit Central Park, the Meat Packing District, and DUMBO- where had a great view of the Manhattan skyline, right after the sun went down. We were even able to access the rooftop of Meredith’s building- it made for a great panoramic shot!
