It’s that time of year again. We’re looking for some Fresh Faces to feature. Are you most comfortable in front of the camera? Do people often comment that you should be a model? Do you have a vibrant personality that you want to share with others? Then you might be the perfect candidate for our Fresh Faces contest.

This year we are adding a category. We’ll have our normal Newborns/Children, Teens, and Adults. As a bonus we’ve added Pets!

We will begin accepting entries November 1st, so get those pictures ready to submit. Rules and methods of entry will be posted later this week, so stay tuned to the website!

And, because posts are better with pictures, here’s a picture of a face that I’m in love with. (Of course this is an older picture because she has her front teeth. They’ve been out since almost April! We see them starting to peek through. I don’t know what she’s going to do with teeth. LOL.)

So it always seems like I’m a weekend behind. It’s just been go, go, go. I’m not complaining because being on the go is a good thing. But I do need to remember to breathe. It’s kind of like on those workout videos where the instructor reminds you to breathe. (You know that someone at one time forgot to, so they have to remind everyone.)

So last weekend was filled with the union of two of my wonderful friends. Ray and Mandy joined each other on life’s road.  I had the privilege of capturing those moments for them. The wedding was casual and they were surrounded by family with an immense amount of love. It was a small ceremony, but beautiful and unique, just like the bride and groom. The wedding was UT themed (and I would like to take a few second to apologize to the happy couple on behalf of the Texas Longhorns, who provided a losing game as a wedding present. Coulda been better, guys.)

The bride and I started our adventure at Selma’s International for a stunning hairstyle by Kerem Ozen and even Selma herself. We also learned the secret to a fabu hairstyle…ready ladies…get your pens and paper out….bobby pins! Lots and lots of bobby pins. But Mandy’s hair was gorgeous.

The officiant was a dear friend who donned a dapper top hat and UT gear, even though he’s an A&M Alum. You conducted a wonderful ceremony, Jim. You added your own flair, making that much more special.

The bride and groom prepared their own heartfelt vows, and read them off a Kindle.Very appropriate!

Even though the ceremony was short, it was beautiful and fun. It was definitely a reflection of the bride and groom, which is what any wedding should be. It is a day to be remembered. A day for a man to look at a woman with love in his eyes, and for that woman to look F-I-E-R-C-E. (OK – for those that know me I’m an America’s Next Top Model junkie so fierce had to be in this post. And doesn’t Mandy look fierce. And you can tell that Ray just adores the new Mrs. Lopez.)

I hope that I captured all the moments you wanted and more. I did have a great time, at the reception, hanging out with friends, and enjoyed meeting your families and friends. You guys are loved by so many. Here’s to you on your journey to this point and from here forward. May love always be in your hearts and your lives.

Do you feel the chill in the air? The first day of Autumn has come and gone. School has been in full swing for a month or so now.
