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...
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...
When to Book – Tip Tuesday/Thursday
Happy Tuesday Y’all! I wanted to give y’all a heads up that I am adding a new series to this blog 🙂 So in addition to my newest work and what my family is doing I will be sharing with y’all my answers to the questions I get asked most often. Some of these questions I get are about running a business, the technical side of photography, wedding planning, or just what...
Kayla + Denver
I remember when Kayla’s mom reached out to me to inquire about an engagement session for her daughter and future son-in-law. The engagement sessions was so relaxed it made me feel like we didn’t meet for the first time a few minutes prior to shooting. Of course, the wedding day was just as fun and easy going! Yes, I shot the wedding while I was 7 months pregnant and HUGE, but...
San Antonio Wedding at Sunset Station | Alexis + Eli
Alexis was the VERY first person to receive a quote from me via Thumbtack. I had never heard of Thumbtack before another bride asked me about it and sparked my curiosity. I signed up, but was very weary of how it worked. When I saw a request for a San Antonio bride looking for a wedding photographer I poured over all the details (I wanted to make sure we would be...
Coty + Will | Bright + Classic Engagement | Victoria, TX |
This adorable couple choose me for their elopement and I was so happy they did! It was on short notice that we never had time to do engagement photos. Around the time I had finished an educational course on a posing system that I was dying to try out they had been married several months, but I sent Coty a message and asked of her and Will would be up...
