A Letter to Tyra

Dear Tyra,

The 11th season of ANTM has begun and you are as ridiculous as ever...between you and Miss J I don't know who is more out of control. But your ridiculousness is half the reason I watch the show. The other half would be the awesome photo shoots. So while I have to sit through your crazy shennanigans, like when you chased one of your models while pretending to be a moose or when you get that ultra dramatic tone when you're about to cut someone...it is worth it for some excellent inspiration. I feel like between the cage fighter model and the transgender model you will have your hands full this season...I look forward to the drama. Thanks for never failing to keep me inspired and entertained!

Your Faithful Viewer,

An Ode to my BFF for her Birthday

My besties birthday was this last Friday and so I had to give a shout out to her on the blog! If you don't know Kristen there is a little part of my heart that is sad for you because she is one of the best people I know, but selfishly...if you don't know her I'm a little glad because that means she gets to spend more time with me! hehe just kidding....sort of!
Kristen has sat in the pit with me and rejoiced on the mountain top next to me. With her I can laugh or cry, I can be silly or serious, I would trust her to decorate my house or pick out the dress I would wear to my wedding...she knows me that well. With her I can just be me...whoever that is in the moment....and that's not something you find everday. I learn from her on a daily basis and I laugh because of her on most days. She constantly strives to love Jesus more and her husband, Kent. She has recently taken up cooking and has introduced me to many great recipes. She speaks wisdom and truth in times when I need to hear it the most. She loves to go on adventures with me to the mall, the museum, or a new restaurant. She pushes me to be a better version of myself....even when she doesn't realize it. So Happy Birthday, Kris....you're the bestest and 27 looks fabulous on you!

On a not so random sidenote....for Kristen's birthday last weekend we had a Dallas day and tried a new restaurant called Rise Souffle and Wine Bar in Inwood Village and had some amazing souffle's for lunch. The atmosphere was really cool too! So if you're looking for a new epicurean adventure I would suggest Rise!

Server Down

The server that my website is on has been down since last Thursday. I've had my website go down and then go back up and now it's back down again. I also haven't been able to check my email due to this issue as well. They are working on restoring the server, but I will not be able to check my email nor will my website be viewable until they do so. I apologize for any inconvenience and if you need to email me please do so at lindsey.brittain@gmail.com until this problem is fixed and I can get into my work email. Thanks for your patience!

Marq+Nina : Wedding

Sooo I'm back from Mexico and it is a little disheartening to return to the reality of life when you've been in paradise with crystal blue water and no cell phone reception...but alas...good things almost always come to an end. I think if I lived that way everyday though I would take it for granted so it's nice to be able to appreciate the opportunity of being in such a beautiful place....it can't help but stir up worship in your heart for the one who created it all!
The wedding unfortunately was not able to take place in Mexico as planned due to the cruise ship we were taking to Cozumel changing their itinerary the morning we were supposed to disembark. Sooo we basically threw a wedding together at the Hotel Galvez in Galveston, Texas in about 24 hours. If you are ever in Galveston you should stay at the Hotel Galvez because not only is it a beautiful hotel, the staff there was amazing and they were so accommodating. What could have turned out to be a disaster instead ended up being a huge blessing that allowed more family and friends to join Marq and Nina on this very special day! While a little crazy, it was one of the more fun times I've had in life and it was neat to see friends and family pull together to make this wedding happen and watch everyone take the lemons we seemed to be given and make some lemonade! Here is a little preview!

I'm off to Mexico!

I will be in Mexico until Tuesday to shoot a wedding...I should have email at some point so I will try to answer emails when possible. Otherwise I will get in touch when I get back on Wednesday! Thanks for your patience!

Jenny and Nate

I did a family session last weekend with Jenny and Nate and their family. I will post some of the family in my next post, but wanted to put up some of my favorites from the session I did with these two after the family part was over. They are adorable aren't they?

Marq+Nina

Marq and Nina are getting married in Mexico...and guess who is going??? ME! There is nothing better than a working vacation and hanging out with friends and sharing in their special day! These two just got engaged last week and we are leaving for Mexico in about 2 weeks so we had to get with it and do some engagements and bridals ASAP! Here is a shot from their engagement session and the minute I took it I loved it because I felt like I caught a moment of their story...and that's what I adore about creating photographs....and I love it even more in black and white! Enjoy!
