I love, love, LOVE theme parties! When Katie approached me about this joint party for her girl’s 4th and 1st birthday I had to play it calm and cool to remain professional. On the inside I was jumping for joy and my inner child was elated. One of my very favorite things to capture is details and she assured me there would be details galore; which made my heart skip...
Victoria, TX Portraits : Meischen Family
I had the great honor of capturing this moment in this ADORABLE family’s life. This little family of four are so sweet and have some seriously sweet style! The oldest daughter, Cecilia, is such a character and was full of energy. I captured so many faces from her it was so hard to choose a favorite! I can practically hear her giggling in the photo below. Their sweet sisters have...
Mission Valley, TX Portraits : Cheyane & Randal
Cheyane came to me with specific ideas in mind. First and foremost she wanted pictures she could use for Christmas cards and Christmas gifts for her loved ones. Second, she wanted great memories of her little family at this point in time. Thirdly she wanted some portraits of her and her main squeeze, Randal. Up until this point they were only in a photo together if they had taken a...
Austin, Tx Wedding : Shannan + Wallace
I have known Shannan since our 6th grade Social Studies class. We bonded over art and anime. We didn’t have any classes together in high school so we made new friend circles, but she stayed one of my longest and greatest friends so it only seemed right for me to ask her to be one of my bridesmaids in 2010. She accepted and saw fit at returning the gesture by...
Victoria, Tx Engagement : Rhiannon + Michael
If you have liked or follow my Amber Elaine Facebook Page you may recognize this photo… or this photo… I figured it was time for me to share more photos from that session! We strolled around historic downtown Victoria, TX to find Downtown Bar and Grill because that is where this couple reconnected after high school and the rest is history After a quick wardrobe change we continued the session....
Victoria, Tx Portraits : Troy #1
Troy is a go getter! He was always playing and running; never a dull moment. I was so happy I could be there and capture his first birthday in a lifestyle session. I doubt I’ve seen a cuter cake covered boy! So messy! He had a blast opening into his presents and then running around again. Happy 1st Troy!...
Summer Fun
We have had quite a full summer this year and it has gone by SUPER fast! I can’t believe my daughter will be starting school in 1 weeks. Where has the time gone? Moms out there I know you feel me! We made so many memories and I wanted to share some here. Making s’mores for the first time, watching fireworks, zoo trips, lots of cousin time, and pool parties...
Victoria, Tx Portraits : Lily turns 3
This little girl is SO full of energy. So much so that she refused a nap before her close up and her mom decided we would just shoot what we could and call it a day. We went to family land out by the water, but we had not had rain in what seemed like forever and it was so low that Lily was able to go shell hunting. Which...
Spring Forward
WARNING! *KID OVERLOAD* After my busy season ended last year I took a much needed hiatus. In doing so I spent time decompressing from hectic holiday schedules and just relaxing. We don’t do too much on the weekends because of our busy weekdays so it has been very mellow in the past couple of months. I always feel like I don’t take enough pictures of my kids and part of that...
Victoria, Tx Wedding : Rhiannon + Michael
To say I enjoyed this wedding would be an understatement. I have known the bride since Jr High and the groom since Highschool. It was such an honor to see these two come together as husband and wife. It was SUCH a beautiful wedding and I loved all the DIY details! My favorite thing is to see the look on the groom’s face when he sees his future wife for...
