As a photographer and a mom, there are few things that bring me more joy than capturing the milestones of the people closest to my own children. Their friends often feel like an extension of my own family — kids I’ve watched grow, celebrated alongside, and loved like my own. That’s why this couple’s session at Tandy Hills in Fort Worth was such a treat for me. Not only did I get to capture beautiful portraits, but I also got to celebrate a love that is just as genuine as it is sweet.
From the moment we arrived at Tandy Hills, I knew it was going to be a magical evening. The weather was perfect, with a soft breeze and a golden glow that made everything feel a little dreamy. Tandy Hills is already one of my favorite locations in Fort Worth — the rolling fields, wide-open skies, and natural beauty create a backdrop that feels timeless and romantic. Add in a couple who couldn’t stop smiling at each other, and it was absolute perfection.
The session was filled with laughter, playfulness, and so much love. What I adored most about photographing this pair was how natural they were together. No forced smiles, no stiff poses — just two people enjoying each other’s company, soaking in the moment, and letting their love shine. Whether they were wrapped up in a sweet embrace or walking hand in hand through the tall grass, every frame told a story of connection and joy.
One of the things I strive to capture in every couple’s session is the balance between posed portraits and candid moments. Of course, we did some traditional shots that show off their love beautifully, but some of my favorites were the in-between moments — the giggles after a joke, the little glances at each other, the way their body language spoke volumes about how comfortable and happy they are together. Those small details often become the most treasured memories.
As the sun dipped lower, the light grew softer and more golden, wrapping everything in a warm glow. That golden-hour magic is every photographer’s dream, and it was the perfect finishing touch to a session already overflowing with love. Watching them laugh, dance, and just enjoy being together reminded me once again why I love what I do. Photography isn’t just about creating beautiful images; it’s about capturing real love, real connection, and real stories.
To this sweet couple — thank you for letting me be a part of your journey and for trusting me to capture your love story. I had such a blast during our evening together at Tandy Hills, and I know these images will always bring you back to this beautiful night under the Texas sky.
With love,
