Why I love Patricia Gillis Photography.  She is an incredible photographer and knows exactly how to make a photoshoot fun!

As you can tell from her answers, Hannah is a sweet girl and knows exactly what’s important in her life!  I have a couple more spots open for senior reps at various schools.  If your interested in becoming a Senior Rep and would like to find out more email me: pgillsphotoATyahoo.com (insert the @ where the AT is) or you can leave a coment here ;-).

Jess & Andee

Andee and Jess are about the sweetest couple I have photographed!  They were so much fun and easy going.  They came down from Tulsa to have some engagement picutres done at the Myriad Gardens (where Jess proposed), but our plans were changed because of the renovations that they were doing at the time.  We were still able to get some amazing images, and some very funny ones of Jess’s brother helping him up onto one of the buffalos.  Enjoy your sneak peak guys 😉

I love the one above.  Its probably my favorite!

I really like this one too.

and this one…. can you have more that one favorite?

Jenny- MWC High School Senior 2010

It was so much fun hanging out with Jenny and her parents last weekend.  We headed down to Shawnee, hoping that some of the alley’s would block the wild Oklahoma wind!  It was seriously blowing.   Hair was going everywhere.  The wind did manage to die down often enough to snap a few without hair in Jenny’s face ;-D.  Okay, enough rambling…. on to the pictures.

 Jenny looks so good up against this green door.  I’m loving going down to Shawnee – I find something new every time!

So pretty!

Jenny had me laughing the entire time.  She would break out into what she liked to call RAD’s (random acts of dancing).  I was laughing so hard I didn’t get any pictures!  She was so much fun to work with, and pretty much up for anything.

I love this one!  She was great at given me some attitude and sass! Thanks for hanging out with me Jenny, and congratulations on your upcoming graduation!

With all the nice weather I have been swamped, so this post will be short on words.   If you are wanting to book a session contact me soon, I have two spots left in April and May is almost completely booked too!.   Enjoy your sneakity peaky Lawson Gang! 

Caught this one of mom and dad, too bad you cant hear the kids in the background.  It was really funny!

They are really blessed with the cutest kids. Even though the little stinker above had no time for smiling, he was too busy chasing the geese and picking the flowers.

B is in my sons class, and is the sweetest boy in the world – well next to mine 😉

Isn’t she just precious? She was hamming it up by the end of the session.

Thanks for letting me hang out with your awesome family!

Sherri and Pete

I have known Pete for several years now, a lot more than I care to own up to. We like to give each other a hard time. Well, let me rephrase that. He likes to give me a hard time, and all the dorky things I say make it really easy for him. I had a blast hanging out with them for their engagement session, and enjoyed getting to know Sherri a little better. I especially enjoyed having some back up (and a little more amo) when I picked on Pete. We were all over Downtown OKC that evening.

We started off at the Stage Center. I had stopped shooting over here a few years ago, but I’m loving it again.

We walked over to the Myriad Gardens after that. The day was so beautiful. There were photographers everywhere!

I caught this in one of those “in between moments”. It’s so sweet.

Had to do a ring shot of course.

I can’t decide which I like better. Color, or black and white?

Congrats Sherri and Pete! Can’t wait to shoot you at your wedding! HA!!!!

Sarah + Matt = LOVE

Okay, that title was a little on the cheesy side. I had the privilege of photographing their wedding a few weeks ago, and am just now getting to post there sneak peek. That’s how crazy it’s been around these parts! The computer was sick, the kids were sick, and now it’s me. But I am feeling a little better now that my “To Do” list is slimming down (just in time for the holidays right?) I really enjoyed getting to know these two as I photographed their special day. Matt was cracking me up the majority of the time and Sarah is the one sweet lady! I have only known her a short time, but she has been through a lot in her life. She deserves to be happy.

 These guys were a blast.  Pretty much up for anything I asked them to do and more!  

The instigator of it all!

Sarah and their sweet, sweet baby girl.

I mentioned doing a “Trash the Dress” session to Sarah.  I think that she might do it.  I hope so, I would love to have those in my portfolio!

This was her mother’s handkerchief, who had passed away earlier this year. 

awww…. I just love this one.

The cake had a light silver sparkle on it.  unfortunately I wasn’t able to capture it in camera.  I was really pretty.

Congratulations Matt and Sarah.  I wish you a lifetime of joy.

williams family

I was so excited to get and email from Holy saying she wanted her family portraits done.  I have known Holly since….. well for a really long time.  Our families attended the same church together when we were younger.  She looks great, and has beautiful family too!  Enjoy your sneak peek Holly.

We met out at Will Rogers Rose Garden.  I haven’t been there in a while.  I forgot how beautiful it is.  Especially in the fall. 

How can you resist this adorable face? Her eyes, and those cheeks!  I have a feeling that Holy looked a lot like this when she was a baby. 

Mr. C showing off his dance moves!

Hot Mamma!

I told him to give me his most studly look.  It just made him laugh!

October has flown by, and I have been having a blast!  I have a feeling that is going to be how the rest of the year is going to be for me.  I only have 3 available session dates open in November and 4 in Dec.  If you’re wanting pictures for Christmas contact me soon before the dates are gone!  Have a great weekend.  I know that I will! Heading down to the Big D for a little shopping with my girlfriends!

Mason

I had the opportunity to hang out with Mason and him Mom and Dad for a couple of hours Saturday night.  I photographed his older brother Mark a couple of years ago, and I knew I was going to have a great time.  I wasn’t disappointed!  Mason was a big goof, and made the session very fun!  Im loving all of the fall colors.  My favorite time of the year to photograph people!  I’m going to be short on words again tonight, Im about to fall asleep as I type. 

 

I’ve been playing around with texture lately. What do you think? 

There is a very cool story behind his hat.  The lead singer of a hardcore/heavy metal band gave him this hat.  Don’t ask me the name of the band, all I can remember is it had the word “Hate” in it.  That kind of music scares the life out of me! Ha Ha Ha!  My husband could probably tell you the name of the band though……

 

The last one was fun, I kept making him jump over and over again.  I think he was getting a tiny bit annoyed with me, but I love how it turned out!

sneakity peakity

I had a blast hanging out with Katie last night as we made our way around downtown OKC.  I enjoyed getting to know her, she was easy going and a lot of fun to be around.  That makes for a great session!  I’m going to be short on words today, and let the pictures show you this beautiful young lady.   Enjoy your sneak peak Katie.

The image above was made possible with a little help from her mom and a minor trespassing violation or two. 🙂

I love the way the sun lit up these last two!

The Roach family

I wanted to get this post up before I ship my computer off for repairs.  Every once in a while it just decides it needs to shut down.  So I will have to share a computer with my husband for the next couple of weeks.  I’m not looking forward to it, but I will try and play nice!  HA!! 

Okay, enough about me and my computer woes and on to this GORGEOUS family.  I have been wanting to photograph them for a while now. I was so excited that I finally got to do it!  Even though the weather was a little dreary, and a bit on the chilly side every one was great. And I think the kiddos had a great time running around everywhere.  Within 15 min their little cheeks and noses were pink:).   Normally I preview a variety of  conversions, but as I was working on these I was absolutely loving every black and white conversion.   Okay, picture time!………

The family.  And dad trying to give me his best smoldering look!  He was such a good sport, I have to give him a hard time.  He did eventually crack a smile!

Their beautiful children.  They were such good kids.  Their son, K, reminded me so much of my Josh with all of his energy.

Sweet Miss D.  So precious, she and her sister are only going to get more beautiful as they grow up. 

Miss H.  Equally as precious.  Watch out mom and dad!

Miss K and Mister K.  There is something really captivating about this picture.  I know that it will always be treasured. While I was with them that evening it was obvious how much they loved their big sister.  I think they like it when she is home from college. 

WOW!  She must have about 20 boys wanting to date her.  She was so sweet. This was the first time that I got to meet her since she goes to college where orange is a very popular color. I tried not to hold it against her.    

I know I keep saying how sweet every one was, but they were.  I just can’t get over it. Their parents are truly blessed.  

What can I say about K?  He was everywhere.  Looking at everything.  Chasing the ducks.  Teasing his sisters.  Exasperating Mom and Dad, and loving every minute of it.  He is every bit of what a boy should be.  I had so much fun in the couple of min alone with him taking his pictures.  Teasing him about how cute and pretty he is.  He was a good sport and laughed right along with me, even though he did blush a little. 

I love black and white.  The only thing that y’all are missing is their beautiful blue eyes. 

This is where the kids get their good looks from.  Isn’t she beautiful? 

Isn’t he lucky?  A gorgeous wife, beautiful (and well behaved) children.  Well, maybe, just maybe they get a little of their good looks from their dad. But just a little. 

One more that I had to share of Miss D and her daddy.  I don’t remember what it is that we were laughing about.  We were laughing so much!  But I love it.  I want to laugh and smile right along with them!  Thanks guys for letting me come and hang out with you.  I had a blast!
