These photos are special to me, because of the special people that are in them………
You see, I have a brother, but Ed was in 1st grade when I left home for college. I didn’t have a brother that did all those crazy frustrating, gross things that brothers are generally know for. The most my brother and I argued over was what to watch on TV. He always wanted cartoons and I wanted “Gone with the Wind.” Not really much sibling angst going on at my house. It was nice and I love my little brother dearly. 🙂
Enter, one Mr. Sean Kirkpatrick. We met the beginning of my Sophomore (his Freshman) year of college at Lubbock Christian University. He literally plopped himself down at a table in the cafeteria I was sharing with my roommate, Rachel and asked “What are we doing tonight?” The three of us were inseparable from that moment on. When we all moved off campus we got apartments in the same complex and there were many nights when I came home from work Sean would be eating leftovers from our fridge. Rachel, Sean and I pledged together and I remember crying my eyes out when his (real) sister, Amanda the girl’s pledge master, yelled at him in front of us. Over the years we fought, argued, partied and laughed and laughed and LAUGHED together. There are very few of my precious memories from college that don’t include Sean and Rachel. They were (are) my brother and sister. My family.
Well, my adopted baby brother is getting married soon and I was honored to take some engagement photos for him and his lovely fiance, Trisha this past weekend. It was quite the adventure, as outings with Sean tend to be. They came all the way from Lubbock and met us in Deep Ellum.

The session started off great and then we headed to our second location and found all the streets blocked off for an event. That was just the beginning of the adventures that included getting kicked out of a location, more roadblocks, having to stop for gas, a fortune telling homeless woman and poor Trisha getting sick at the side of the lake. Trisha was quite the trooper. She is perfect for Sean and I instantly loved her! She is now part of my adopted family too. Can’t wait to hang out with them again.

We ended the evening at White Rock Lake for some sunset pictures on the dock. This engagement session didn’t go anywhere according to plan, but it made for a perfect memory that I will cherish for always. Congratualtions, Sean and Trish! I couldn’t be more happy for you both!
