Molly Thomson is beautiful, that’s obvious. What you may not know at first glance is that she is one of those girls who just rolls with things, and with such grace and good humor. Molly’s dad, Chris, surprised her with a photo shoot after she had driven three hours to Dallas for a visit from Norman Oklahoma where she was in school at the University of Oklahoma. Now those of you who know anything about girls, especially girls her age, might guess that having a surprise photo session with no time to plan or get ready might throw a girl for a loop… but not this girl. Just look at the images and you can see that she wasn’t phased a bit.

Molly talked her Dad into being in some photos with her. I loved the idea because I don’t have any other Father/Daughter shots except those at weddings… and I think there is such an amazing and tender relationship between fathers and daughters. You only have to be around these two for a very short time to observe how close they are. Chris was such a good sport. Any man willing to blow bubbles in photos for his daughter is a great dad in my book.

I love shooting in this area around the AT&T Performing Arts Center… it’s one of my favorite spots… and it was the perfect backdrop for Molly’s session. A few interesting facts about Molly: She is very close to and devoted to her family, she is a great cook, she loves Whole Foods, she was on the OU women’s rowing team, she loves yoga, and she graduated this past May from OU with a degree in journalism. She is a lady of many talents… not the least of which is looking great in photos. Wouldn’t you agree?

I love incorporating cool architecture and artwork in my images whenever I can… and Molly and Chris were more than willing to interact with the local art.

I had so much fun with these two and I think they would agree that other Dads and Daughters should have more photos taken together… well maybe with some advanced notice. Not everyone is as cool and adventurous under pressure as Molly!
