Houston Engagement Portraits :: Candis and Jason

November 30th, 2010  |  Posted in engagement, portrait

I’m excited for you to meet Candis and Jason.  These two cuties said they didn’t want a mushy photoshoot for their engagement session and I was thrilled to oblige!  If you’ve been following this little blog you know I’m biased toward authentic truthful images that reflect a couple as they really are and these two are  fun and laid-back so the beach, putt-putt golf and a little construction equipment was perfect.   Stay turned for more of these two.  Bridal portraits and their wedding are coming soon!

Houston Portraits :: Golden Family

April 20th, 2010  |  Posted in portrait

I’ve been seeing this field of yellow flowers near my house and have been longing to use it as a backdrop.  So, so lovely.  I even dragged my dog Chewie out their and bribed him with treats to “model” for me — very entertaining!  When fellow photographer & friend, Jonathan Golden, asked me about doing some family photos I immediately knew we had to use the yellow field.   Jonathan and his family, including one month old baby Asher, were awesome.

Austin Engagement Photographs :: Heather and Rob

March 31st, 2010  |  Posted in engagement, portrait

Wow, I had a great afternoon in Austin having fun and laughing a lot with Heather and Rob.  We started their engagement session at the site of their first date, the fabulous Blue Star Cafeteria.  A huge thank you to Nathan and everyone at Blue Star for being so accommodating.  We ended the day perched high above Austin at Mt. Bonnell with a stunning sunset.

I’d be remiss if I didn’t give a shout-out to Heather’s wedding planner, Cortney Zieky of BZ Events for always being on top of the details!  Brides, if you don’t have a wedding planner, please stop what you’re doing and hire an experienced planner NOW.   You won’t regret it and your other vendors will love you for it!

Heather and Rob, I can’t wait for your November wedding!

I love this shot, probably my favorite. I just love the pink wall at the Blue Star, yayness!

I love it when couples can have fun and be themselves.

Sunset brings such pretty colored light.

Ok, let me explain. Rob is a huge Star Wars fan and he brought along a fun prop as a bit of a joke, but since I’m a total Sci-Fi geek I loved it. I think Heather’s expression explains her feelings, but she was a great sport!

Austin Photography :: Family Portraits

Today we’re taking a break from our usual wedding photography and Wendi’s food features to bring you a whole lot of cuteness.   This family is near and dear to my heart and I’m pleased as punch they allowed us into their home to capture the newest member of their family.  Baby N and her big brothers were so much fun we might just consider doing more family shots.

This is my favorite photo because everyone’s personalities are shining through, especially the always entertaining big brother #2.

San Antonio Engagement Session :: Kristin and Cody

February 9th, 2010  |  Posted in engagement, portrait

I met up with this pair of cuties at the new Pearl Brewery area in San Antonio. When we set the location for Kristin and Cody’s engagement session I didn’t know Cody works for one of the companies involved with the construction of Pearl Brewery.  So, in additional to a fun afternoon of photographs Cody filled me in on some of the cool sustainability practices used in the construction.

A few of my favorite shots…
