I spent a lovely afternoon with Samantha and her mom at Adriatica in McKinney a few weeks ago. Samantha was incredibly excited about her upcoming wedding (she got married last Sunday) and we had a blast talking about weddings and just about everything and anything in between.

At the beginning of every bridal session, I have my little shpeal about keeping the dress clean. Well, Samantha emerged from her vehicle with some black soot on her dress and just as I was assuring her that it could easily be cleaned, I was also making plans to take her under the bridge for some extra killer shots.

Samantha cheerfully obliged, and yet I’m positive that she’s the kind of girl who would have done it even if her dress had been completely clean. I truly love that about her – she’s fearless and o so strong.
