On A Wild Ride

Posted by kim on 24th June 2006

Thursday, June 15th 2006 was a day Kristin won’t soon forget. Bill woke her with a surprise call and the notes began. Leading her from one fun activity to another, taking into account places and things she loves to do, Bill planned everything down the moment. At this point they are en route from dinner out at Del Frisco’s in Dallas to a destination unknown to Kristin. They ended up at The Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine where Bill whisked her around to the many sites and took her breath away by proposing to her on bended knee.

Kim Cooley of Carpe Vita Photography was there to document the entire day and all of the emotions involved. Bill definitely deserves the Carpe Vita Award for the day! Congratulations to Kristin and Bill. We look forward to documenting your wedding preparations, celebration and becoming your photographers for life!

Cindi’s Modelling Portfolio

Posted by kim on 20th June 2006

What a lovely lady with great diversity! We did Cindi’s portfolio session for modelling early Memorial Day to avoid the heat but she was keeping things sizzling hot! She definitely has a future in front of her and we enjoyed getting to watch her work.

As luck would have it, while we were photographing in the Deep Ellum area, we encountered a news team from WB News at Nine. They taped Kim photographing Cindi so she had her first little TV spot.

Knock them dead Cindi and we’ll tell them, we remember you when…

LeAnn and Morgan

Key West? Nope – Deep in the heart of Texas! We’ve been very busy with our high school seniors – creating one of a kind images that say more about the individual, their style and how they want to be perceived.

This session was to photograph images for the girl’s senior pages that will be seen this fall in their high school football programs. The boys will love the photos we took – definitely not your everyday school photography!
