I want a Kelly Moore Bag!

So I've been shopping around for a new camera bag. I've been wanting something a little more light weight and accessible than my main bag. Up until today I was pretty much thinking I would go with the Shootsac. I wasn't exactly thrilled about the idea of dropping almost two hundred dollars on a tiny little sac so everytime I'd sit behind the computer trying to work up the nerve to make a purchase I'd chicken out. It just didn't feel right. Then I came across www.kellymoorebag.com. Not only are these bags more a thousand times more attractive but they aren't nickle and diming people for every little accessory like shoulder pads and straps! I'm smitten with this pretty little number and I can't wait to make it mine!!

The New Kids on the Block

Meet the newest members of our crew. :) I can't help but smile looking at these little guys and I'm sure your kids will feel the same!

Pam & David

I met Pam and David last May when I shot the wedding of Pam's BFF. I thought she made a beautiful Maid of Honor, but little did I know she would soon be an even more radiant Mother. Of course everyone knows how tickled I get over bumps and babies so it goes without saying that I was excited when I found out Pam was expecting. I absolutely love getting to see the progression in my clients' lives and I'm eagerly awaiting this new bundle of joy's arrival! While we all wait here are few favs from Pam's Maternity Session...

*SPECIAL*

Marixsa & Chris

I've known Chris for some time now. We met in a math class at UTD almost ten years ago, sheesh I can't even believe it's been that long... Anyway, we've been good pals ever since and recently I've been getting to know his awesome fiancé Marixsa. I think they make a great couple and I'm glad to see my old buddy has found someone to share his life and love of sports with! It really means a lot to me to be able to shoot their wedding in April. Here are a few shots from their engagement session...

Happy Anniversary!

I met Dianna and Francisco last year when I shot their November Wedding. They are a super sweet couple and I was very happy when Dianna contacted me to set up a session to help them commemorate their first anniversary. Dianna told me how much she loves Dallas so we met up downtown and had some fun gallivanting around. I still get intimidated sometimes being in the city, but lucky for me Dianna is quite the experienced tour guide so I got to take pictures and learn a few things about ole' D-town I didn't know at the same time. I'm looking forward to our next adventure together! A little peek...

Evelyn & Tony

This weekend I met up with Evelyn and Tony for their engagement session. I had a lot of fun getting to know more about them. We took some shots in front of the pub where they met and Evelyn told me about how she all but spoiled her own proposal by trying to guess what Tony was planning. Evelyn and Tony are so cute together and I can't wait for their April wedding. Here are a few favs from their session...

It's the Final Countdown!

I hope you all heard the Rocky music in your heads as you read the blog title. :) Only two more weeks remain in the year 2010! I don't remind you of this to inspire a little holiday panic attack but rather to give those of you planning on scheduling a session in the upcoming year a chance to nab your 2011 session or wedding at our current 2010 rates. Come the first of the year we will be rolling out new services and pricing. All sessions and weddings booked before January 1st will receive our current rates no matter when they fall in 2011. This can mean some pretty serious savings so don't delay email loren@topbananaphotography.com today to take advantage of this offer.

Katie & Billy

Katie's sister Lauren has been a terrific client for some time now so I was very excited when Katie contacted me at the beginning of the year regarding her December wedding at Level Two. Katie made an absolutely beautiful bride and there were quite a few tearful moments throughout the evening. It was a pleasure to be able to capture and experience such an emotional and magical night.

I'm baaaaack!!

...in the saddle again! Haha, ok enough Aerosmith inspired ridiculousness. Seriously though, we are back and ready for action. We had a terrific delivery experience and brought home one of the sweetest most easy going babies I have ever had the pleasure of laying eyes on. Thanks to Miss Olivia's demeanor it's been a quick recovery and I am so happy to get back to my other baby, photography! November is already booked up with the exception of couple slots and December is filling up fast(whoohoo!! :P) so if you have been thinking about booking a session now is the time to jump on it. Our pricing will be changing after the New Year so book now to get our 2010 pricing for your 2011 session or Wedding.

And since a blog post isn't complete without a picture I'll sign off with a couple of my little princess...

An Angel is Born

It's not the first time I've gushed over my absolute adoration of babies and it most certainly won't be my last. I can't think of anything else more precious, beautiful, and full of promise and hope than a new little baby. This is why I jump for joy at the opportunity to capture some of the first bonding moments between a new baby and it's family. I was lucky enough to have such an opportunity just recently with the arrival of little Angel.

Please join me in wishing this family all the happiness and prosperity the world can bring.

Beautiful Bridals

I heart these photos so much they deserve a post all their own. I couldn't have asked for a better client or location and the proof is in the pudding...

Excerpts from the Whirlwind
