Chelsea and I met WAY back in her college days (I was a drop out by then) AND she was one of my first test subjects when I got my very first camera almost 6 years ago. She was such a trooper then and just as great to have in front of my camera now. Walter is so much fun to be around and had NO problems making his future...
Style Guide | Seniors
Spring break is coming up and I know lots of 2018 Grads are probably planning on taking advantage of the warmer weather and taking their Senior photos! Even though I don’t photograph Seniors as a specialty I have this style guide. I thought I would share it publicly, because I have yet to use it! (Shows how often I shoot graduates, eek!) No. 1 Women This style guide plays with color and...
Ashley + Matt | Anniversary
The location for this anniversary session is not only dreamy + airy, but is where this couple plans to build their future home for their family. I mean if that isn’t the most special detail to add to this session I don’t know what it! Ashley had shown me her dress and shoes before the session and I just HAD to pick up some flowers for the occasion! Thanks to HEB Blooms for...
Courtney + Roland | Married
You know those couples who are so much fun they radiate happiness in everything they do and everywhere they go? Well, that is Courtney and Roland! I met Courtney, along with several other potential brides, at the Bridal Fair in Victoria, TX. Bridal Fairs in general feel a bit like speed dating, if I’m honest. You are trying to make the best first impression with someone you only have a few minutes with and...
Brown Family – Helotes, TX
This session had been coming for a whole year before Elyse and I could get our calendars to sync, but I’m over the moon that it did! Getting to meet her family was so awesome…I mean her son is Jedi. He brought his lightsaber and everything! He also gave me my very first face tickle; I didn’t know those were even a thing (maybe just his thing) Then when I...
Reasons why anniversary sessions are so important
I started this off with just being a Facebook post, but I realized it was getting too long and I needed to just put it all in a blog post instead. I am SUPER passionate about marriages. The wedding day is wonderful and amazing, but it’s just the beginning. If you think about it most couples take engagement photos then portraits the day they get married and nothing more until...
Katie + Ryan | Married
This was my last wedding for the year 2017 and it was everything I hoped it would be. When we (Jacob went with me to lug my heavy bags around since we didn’t want me to go into labor the day of the wedding) go to the venue Katie was finishing hair and makeup surrounded by her bridesmaids. The girls we all wearing these cute rompers she had gotten them...
7 years + 2 days down!
It’s been 7 years since we said our vows. I honestly don’t know where the last 3 years went; it all happened so fast! I swear we were just celebrating our 4 year anniversary; trying to decide what to do and when to do it since I didn’t want to do much so late into my pregnancy with Peter. My mind has started to become fuzzy the longer I’m a mom, the older...
Singing in the Car = Wedding Photography?
There may be no real connection, but I made a connection in my mind. Let me explain. I am know for my car-singing-imitations. No, really! Ask my husband and he will vouch for me that I can go from Elton John to Brittney Spears to Axel Rose in on hour! There are some days I rock my “performances” and then there are days that…well, to put it nicely, I should’ve...
