GIGGLES, FALL AND FUN! HOW CAN ANYONE RESIST

Tue, 19 Nov 2019 19:58:44 GMT

My Goodness, this family is totally amazing. Such a fun couple with the most adorable little girl. She was so full of giggles, surprises and expressions galore. We happened upon this wonderful spot right when the leave were changing and it turned out to be a gem. I can say that "throwing leaves" turned out to be more comical than productive, but then again, that's what makes memories so much more exciting...having FUN! I had a fantastic time with Becca, Kaiser and Paisley and I am looking forward to many more fun times with them. Happy Fall Y'all. www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com

A SURPRISE WITH CHAMPAGNE AND WHIPPED CREAM AND BEST OF ALL, DOGS!!!

Tue, 19 Nov 2019 04:12:48 GMT

OMGoodness, this was a super fun shoot and the end was phenomenal. Savannah contacted me to do a surprise shoot for her significant other for their anniversary. We planned and set things up. We started at Shops of Legacy area and ended at Arborhills Nature Preserve and had a fantastic time doing this fun shoot. Chris was definitely surprised and was laughing so hard. They brought along their wonderful pups and let me tell you, these pups were so special and so loving I could have hugged on them all day. Savannah and Chris were so funny and whimsical with their playfulness and ended the day with a "sticky but cool" sassiness...LOL Here is a peak at their coffee table book. Please enjoy.

PUPPY LOVE AND GIGGLES

Mon, 17 Jun 2019 21:17:05 GMT

This weekend, this lovely couple will be tying the knot at the Monroe Pearson in Denton. They are such a fun loving couple who also love their pup so much. We had the very best time taking pics this past winter and caught so many great memories. They love the outdoors and are full of life. They surely didn't mind going all over Arborhills Nature Preserve to get their pics taken. It was fun to have mom along as well as we chatted up a storm in between takes. I am so looking forward to this wedding this weekend and all the fun memories I will get to capture with this amazing couple.

LETS TALK ABOUT THE ANNIVERSARY OF NEELY AND KEITH

Sat, 04 May 2019 08:04:38 GMT

Hi all, I hope you are doing well and enjoying the sporadic weather we have been having. We got super lucky on this gorgeous day to do 1 year anniversary pics at the beautiful Dallas Arboretum, it never disappoints. This was my second time to be doing pics with the lovely Neely and her husband Keith. They are such a delight and had a blast during this shoot, so much so that they ended up running through the froggy fountain at the end. The weather was picture perfect, not too hot, not cold at all and NO RAIN! The gorgeous purple florals in the sunken garden were to die for, the water splashing around in the Woman's Garden fantastic and the lovely waterfall by the lake was the perfect backdrop for the most amazing romantic pictures. At the end we decided to throw off those shoes, take out the hairpiece and run barefoot through the fountain and end the day with a splash. I really enjoyed getting to spend time with this couple again and I look forward to continuing their journey thru life.

PUPPIES, POLICE AND PRETTY FLOWERS

Mon, 29 Apr 2019 23:23:50 GMT

YEP, you heard right, puppies, police and pretty flowers. This little family of two police officers, Marisa and Laurance, and their lovely dogs Sarge and Sable were all so willing to do their pics no matter what the weather. We definitely went with the flow and found some great spots to do our puppy n me pics. Although originally set for bluebonnets (way too muddy), we decided to forego the mud and jump right into the fields and water. At first we started in a field of frolicking bunnies and high grass. Ohhhhh Miss Sable, I think she thought she was a bunny. She was in and out of the grass like she had springs on her feet. Sarge on the other hand, was just super chill. We did manage to grab some sweet pics in the grass, then we moved on to water....this was Sarges' forte for sure. He had absolutely no problem swimming and shaking off the water and let us know he was in his element. As you can see not everything goes perfectly when it comes to taking pics of pups. They certainly let their owners know when they are having a great time. After much ado in the water, we moved to our final location, pretty flowers. I think this was my favorite part as the pups finally figured out I had treats, they sat, they stayed, they shook and they smiled. These two wonderful people, whose wedding I am doing in just a few short months, were lovely as always and shared their amazing pups with me on such a beautiful day. Super fun, super awesome and lots of cuddles with the pups. Loved every moment, and loved when Miss Sable said...we're done and walked away at the end.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE GREEN BALL AND BLUEBONNETS!

Thu, 04 Apr 2019 02:59:31 GMT

Holy cow was this a fun shoot with the sweetest little Yorkie named Benny and of course his humans Dani and Devin! He was so full of energy and certainly loved his GREEN BALL! Even when his humans were taking pics without him, he made sure he knew that ball was in the picture. We started this session as a get to know you Puppy and Me session, but it quickly turned into an all about me Benny session, partly that's my fault because I am a sucker for pups! We found some small patches of bluebonnets as well and he loved smelling these beautiful blue flowers. I am super excited to be doing this couples wedding in May of 2020 and even more excited to continue to do some additional engagement photos and having much more fun with this couple. They are such vibrant and fun people and what started as a short session turned into a full on engagement puppy session. Ohhhh that Green Ball! www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com

MY BLUE IS YOU

Sat, 09 Mar 2019 00:48:53 GMT

OHHHHHH how I love this couple. They are absolutely precious together. He's an awesome police officer for Ft Worth PD and she is an animal control officer. They match perfectly. Their love for each other is undeniable and they have such an awesome sense of humor AND compassion. Doing their wedding was such an honor and so rewarding to see the closeness our boys in blue share. There is always a smile on Kayla's face and its awesome when you see your clients just smile and smile all throughout their wedding day. I pray that Tim is always safe being a police officer and that they always continue to know life to its fullest with a smile on their faces. Thank you Kayla and Tim for a wonderful day at your wedding. www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com www.thealbumcafe.com

A GIRL AND HER DOG - MUGLEY

Mon, 25 Feb 2019 20:08:56 GMT

Oh my heart. This shoot tore at my heart strings, like A LOT! Anyone who knows me knows I am a dog fanatic (I have 4 myself), but when I was asked to do this shoot, my heart both sank and was filled with joy. Let me introduce you to Mugley. Mugley is an almost three year old Great Dane-Lab mix. He is such a sweet pup with all the snuggles of pure love. He is vivacious, yet calm. He is attentive, yet very alert to his surroundings. One would never realize that this sweet face full of love only has about a month to live. Last week, his owner Sonya felt some lumps on his neck and of course took him to the vet. The news was not good. Mugley has lymphoma. It struck quickly and without warning. My heart totally sank when I heard the news and of course I had to help in any way that I could. Sonya was a student of mine when she was in elementary school and I have known her all through to high school and beyond. She is an amazing young lady and now as a young woman she has become a wonderful dog owner who loves Mugley with all her heart. I was so happy to capture these images ( we took over 700) for her to have wonderful memories of her fur-child to remember his sweetness and love for her forever. You can see the love between them shine throughout these pics. I introduced Mugley to his very first ever Starbucks Puppucino....OH MY did he LOVE THIS!! I brought a whole can of whipped cream so we could have plenty. It was hard to choose just a few to share and now I cry. Everyone please love and pray for Mugley and his family as they go thru his final journey together.

LOVE WINS TEXAS

Tue, 12 Feb 2019 20:08:06 GMT

Where do I start with these two? I have known Yamil for so many years, since she was a sophomore at Lewisville High School on drill team with my daughter. They loved drill team and dance that's for sure. After graduation, Yamil went on to college and then found the love of her life. When I met Dominque during their engagements I could see why Yamil fell in love with her. They were meant for each other and their love shown thru in every image I took. I am so happy she found the person to be her forever with. Love find us, no matter what age, race, gender, life circumstance. LOVE WINS TEXAS and I was so honored to be a part of their journey. I will be posting their beautiful winter wedding later this week.

LIFESTYLE WITH GATOR - LOVE THIS FAMILY

Tue, 12 Feb 2019 16:51:31 GMT

Doing this family's pics with Gator was an awesome experience. Kyle and Melissa have been clients of mine for the last 4 years and it has been amazing to watch their love for each other grow and grow and grow. I was blessed to be able to come to their beautiful home and play with little Gator - sweet little Yorkie with the personality of all things good rolled into one. He is such a cuddler for sure. I am so looking forward to watching their family grow and see all the love they have to give.

ENGAGEMENTS AT THE NASHER AND TRINITY PARK FORT WORTH - GABRIELA, JASON AND ARCHIE

Wed, 20 Sep 2017 04:29:43 GMT

Another shoot with another amazing PUP! Ohhhh how I love Archie the greyhound. His expressions are priceless. He acts as if he is just so chill all the time, but I caught a few moments when he surprised us with the most precious expressions. This prompted "My humans according to Archie" and this was a hit. Gabriela and Jason had a lot of fun playing a little game of kickball. They said this was one of the things they love to do together. The weather wasn't very cooperative so we did an additional shoot right after her bridals. (no worries, he didn't see her dress) This shoot at the Nasher was so dreamy and romantic, unlike the fun pics with Archie and kicking the ball around. Those were fun pics but romance is always great during shoots. Gabriela and Jason have a sweet love of one another and it shows in their pics. This was my first engagement shoot at The Nasher Dallas and I can't wait to do more.

BRIDALS COLORADO SPRINGS - GRACE

Wed, 20 Sep 2017 03:40:27 GMT

This was a spectacular bridal session. I had so much fun at Garden of the Gods and The Colorado Springs School. This was a wonderful opportunity to do images at amazing places with a view that is jaw dropping. I love to travel to see all the world has to offer, even though Texas is large enough to be a country itself. The view at Garden of the Gods was breath taking. I found my favorite spot to shoot and I called it "turtle mountain" It looked liek a turtle to me. They have official names for the mountains in the Garden of the Gods, but I prefer to go with the flow and call it how I see it. :) The history and intricate details at the Colorado Springs School was like walking back in time. The walls, the windows, just everything was amazing. Grace is a personal friend of my daughter and her family friends with me as well. It was such an honor to shoot her bridals, rehearsal and wedding during the week I was there. Grace met the love of her life while visiting another friend at the Air Force Academy and it was love forever. I had the pleasure of shooting the proposal as a surprise. I have no words for the sweetness that happened that afternoon. Being a part of it from start to finish was amazing and something I will remember always.

At the end I have some behind the scenes pics. It includes my daughter helping out her best friend, some bunnies, dad and mom make an appearance as well. Just some fun pics to show - it takes a small little village and some wildlife as well to make everything a small hint of a fairytale.

BRIDALS HICKORY STREET ANNEX - HEATHER

Wed, 20 Sep 2017 03:14:33 GMT

This Beautiful Bride wanted something whimsical, vintage and fun and we found just the place. Hickory Street Annex! With it's exposed brick walls, open floor plan, bright sunny huge windows and the two level building with completely different ideas for shooting...how can you go wrong with this beautiful historic place. Did I mention it has a variety of small treasures outside as well. We had such an amazing time being silly, sassy, whitty and formal as well. we took so many pics it was hard to choose - so, I made her a bridal album. The tears was flowing as they truly were surprised and loved all of the pictures I chose. Heather has such a sweet soul and a kind heart as well. She is always smiling and her laugh can make anyone smile with joy. She is a true Christian who lives every day with the Lord in her heart. Beauty inside and out and you can see it in every picture. OH, one more thing :) I have added her dog into the first image because River couldn't be there on the day of the bridals. This is her bridal book.

ENGAGEMENTS ADRIATICA MCKINNEY - CASEY AND RANDALL

Wed, 20 Sep 2017 02:58:05 GMT

What can I say about this engagement shoot? WONDERFUL and full of surprises. Casey and Randall were up for pretty much anything I threw at them. Not kidding, we stopped behind a gas station field to do some pics and Casey found a $20.00 in the middle of the field. I was at a loss for words as she danced around so excited. Then we stopped at a random wheat field on the side of the road at got the most romantic images as the sun set for the evening. (no wheat was harmed during this photo shoot) The Adriatica is a phenomenal place to do engagements, as it offers a variety of image options. We definitely took every opportunity to get everything we could. This was fun, exciting and a memorable shoot. LOVE this couple.

TODAY I FEATURE BRIDALS FROM THE NASHER MUSEUM OF ART DALLAS. Gabriela was so excited to do these bridals in such a beautiful setting at sunset.

HELLO AGAIN 2017

Tue, 19 Sep 2017 21:48:34 GMT

Hello Everyone! It has been a whirlwind the past few years and I have been slammed with so many things. I want to thank so many people for their amazing support, happy smiles, and caring nature while doing photography sessions with them. Across the last couple of years I have made SO MANY amazing new friends and my heart is full. I want to send my thanks to everyone new and old for trusting me with your images and your life memories. I am going to try to do a weekly blog with images of clients from this past year. I promise to attempt to do it as often as possible. Many blessings for a wonderful upcoming holiday season.

Hugs,

Susan

Starting the year off with a BANG! 2015 Meet Alex

Sat, 10 Jan 2015 11:56:52 GMT

Hi everyone and welcome to 2015 and a bright and shiny new year. I always seem to forget I have a blog because I am so busy taking pics. This past year I hired a new assistant and her name is Alex Couture-Oronos. She is actually the girl in the pics that everyone loves on my KNOT page being dipped in the water. She is so dynamic and such a hard worker and truly a blessing in disguise. She is my daughter's best friend that she met at Texas Tech in her sorority. They became fast friends and he has become more like the sister my daughter never had. Although Alex now lives in Miami, we all talk every day. Originally from Sugarland, TX, she and her husband moved when he found an amazing new job in Miami, so she is just a plane ride away! Even so, our wonderful relationship and her creativity made her hiring an easy choice. She already knew how my work ethic is, she knows my perfectionist attitude (as she has one too), and she works her fingers to the bone to get stuff done ASAP! She has already proven to be a hardworking addition and I am so blessed to have her on board at Susan Gilbert Photography. I know she will be a great asset to all my wonderful couples beginning their journey with me as their photographer!

Meet Miss Alex :)

and her Love Story continues.......

Natalie and Luke Engagement Shoot - The Cottonmill, McKinney, Tx

Sun, 19 Jan 2014 03:36:53 GMT

Wow, what fun with these two! They were so much fun and full of laughs when we did their engagements. We had some serious fun, then playful fun as they were attempting to ride this bike with no wheels. Then we went on for the "puppies kisses" with their furbabies. You can check out their shoot on the site under Engagements, Cottonmill, Natalie and Luke.
