My daughter Elaina was attending a military ball with her boyfriend, Bryan, but since it was out of town, she asked if we could do her photos a few days beforehand. She wanted to shoot at Legacy West in Plano to take advantage of the Christmas decorations and the illuminated fountain. Shooting in the evening meant carefully setting up my flash, but the result was a set of vibrant, festive images that captured both the couple and the season beautifully.
