Hannah + Patrick | Married

Houston Fall rustic burgundy and navy wedding

Hannah was surrounded by her loved ones, good vibes, and good music when I arrived at the Pattison House in Houston, TX. The Pattison House is unlike any venue I have seen so far! It’s a renovated farmhouse with loads of modern and vintage glam touches. Girls just want to have fun, right? Absolutely! Hannah and her bridesmaids made her whole day into one big party. They also made me feel...

First Home-versary

One month ago we celebrated our first anniversary of moving into our home in Seguin, TX! YAY! Jacob and I have moved 7 times (not including the 2 times we were living somewhere temporarily) within 7 years. Moving is the worst and we should be experts by now, but we are still no good at moving. We have lost lots of random items along the way and I don’t even...

Elly + Hutch | Married

Everyone was invited to a Labor Day weekend gathering, but little did they know it would turn into a wedding! Elly and Hutch surprised everyone, with the exception of myself, and told them with less than 24 hours notice that they were going to be exchanging vows that day. I was just glad that by the time I arrived everyone knew, because I think having a photographer show up would...

Karina + Cian | Chapel Dulcinea Austin, TX Summer Wedding

Karina and Cian come from completely different backgrounds. No, like really, she is Brazilian and he is Irish! I am not sure how they both ended up in Texas and meeting each other in the same Kick Boxing class, but they did and the rest is history. They may have different cultures, but this couple brings out the best in each other and they mesh SO well. It was really...

Gio is such a doll and will be the best big brother! Thank you guys for being such a fun family and I had SUCH a great time reconnecting with you guys! Congratulations on the...

I had such a great time with this family and I felt like I was a family member myself with how friendly and open they were. We went out to family land in Goliad, TX where they have their own island and sipped some “Me-Maw” juice after the session was over. The three boys are so much fun and I will continue to love hearing the stories from their mom,...

Victoria, Tx Portraits : Zeke’s Story

I had a Valentine mini session with Ezekiel’s wife, Marlene, and daughter, Daveney.  I couldn’t help but notice Marlene wearing a man’s wedding ring on a chain around her neck. Ezekiel James Carlyle died at an early age from a sporadic brain hemorrhage. Marlene was kind enough to tell his story. “It wasn’t something we prepared for or found out, he was fine one minute and then complained of a headache, and then went...

2013 Recap

Last year was full of changes for me and my family.  We moved back to Victoria from Austin to be closer to family. We added a new family member. Our daughter turned 2 and has mastered terrible two’s while being adorable within 5 minutes of each other. Friends and family of ours got married and/or had babies of their own. Jacob decided to add another degree to his schooling. I...
