Mike + Crystal ~ Engagement ~ Lubbock, TX ~ Lubbock Engagement Photographer

It was a joy to take engagement pictures for Mike and Crystal. For the past 10 years, Mike and I have had the chance to sing together on a weekly basis and I can attest to his immense talent as a musician and as a visual artist. In fact, Mike used his skills as a graphic designer to bring to life the concept of my photography logo.

Mike and Crystal knew their relationship was meant to be from the moment they met. It is clear how happy they make each other and it was a pleasure to photograph this wonderful couple.

Bethany ~ Headshots ~ Lubbock Headshot Photographer

Bethany is currently the choir director at Lovejoy High School in Lucas, Texas. I first met her when she was an undergraduate music major at Texas Tech and have always been impressed with her. In addition to being beautiful, Bethany possesses one of the finest minds I've ever known. Bethany has a special gift for foreign languages that perfectly complements her teaching of singing. It was a great honor to take pictures of Bethany

Rachel's new smile ~ Lubbock, TX ~ Lubbock Photographer

Yesterday, my daughter Rachel lost her first tooth at age 4 1/2. It had been loose for about a week and yesterday, she pulled it out all by herself. She presented her tooth along with a new gap in her grin. I took some pictures of her today

This has been a momentous week in the Barrick household for another reason: On Monday, the Kentucky men's basketball team won its 8th National Championship. For a Kentucky girl like me, it means the world. Go Cats!
