Week 31......So excited about this!!!!!

My "cousin" (actually, he's my cousins's cousin) came to Houston for a week and we hung out and did some tourist-y things in Houston. It was a blast! While in conversation, he said something that sparked an idea for me and I came up with this idea to give him something better than just a few pictures of him at each sight. I hope it makes you want to see more of Houston!

Week 30......Workshop in Atlanta

I'm always working on educating myself and I attend workshops with photographers and instructors that will challenge in certain areas. I flew out to Atlanta to go to the Love Affair Workshop with Millie Holloman, Kelly Moore, Davina Fear, and Lauren Clark, and it was such a great week!
One afternoon we were given a group challenge and we were assigned a model to four photographers. Our model was beautiful and did such a great job because she was so willing to do anything for us....and I'm so glad she did because I got some shots for her that I think she'll really like.

My little cousin Keith....Houston Children Photographer

Meet my little cousin! He has the cutest curls, and yes he really is that cute. This was what he looked like as a wee little newborn.

Becca and Josh's wedding Part 1....Houston Wedding Photographer

I'm so excited to finally have Becca and Josh's wedding pictures ready to show! And I'm so thankful they've been so patient, too, because it's totally worth it.
It's been so great watching Becca and Josh become "Becca and Josh." And I'm so honored to have also been a part of their wedding day and it was such a wonderfully love-filled day. I loved capturing so many sweet moments between them and also with their loved ones.
Thanks so much for asking me to be a part of your day.


Josh and the guys.


Becca getting ready.

Happiness!!


The rest of the images will be up in the next blog post, soon!!

Sneak Peek - Becca and Josh....Houston Wedding Photographer

I'm trying very hard to get Becca and Josh's images up for them to see, so in the meantime, here's a quick sneak peek!

Amanda and Justin's wedding day

I always love a day wedding! I must have laughed the whole day with Amanda and Justin and their bridal party. Hilarious! And I shot alongside Ashley to make a beautiful day!

Bride and groom.






Details, details, details!


About to walk into the reception



Their first dance.





Fun moments.


The exit!

Becky and Chris's wedding day

I'm trying to catch up on my blogging so here it goes!
Becky and Chris got married back in May and I shot this wedding with Ashley and it was one of the most relaxed days! Becky and Chris were so calm and easy going and just enjoyed the day with the friends and family surrounding them.

Becky loved playing with all the girls that were part of her day.





It was so sweet to see them talking to each other throughout the ceremony - they just couldn't contain themselves.

I'm baaaack!! ....and so is Daisy

I've been virtually and personally nudged since I've been absent from my blog almost a complete month. Where have I been??
I've been out of town a few times and then spent the rest of the time trying to catch up. I've got lots of things that I'm working: images to blog, ideas to carry out, and special project to continue pursuing. It all excites me so much!

But for today, let's talk about Daisy. Remember Daisy? She's this little sweet pea. I got to babysit her again and she warmed up a little more to the camera than before. I think she's building a little rickety bridge of trust.

Little Venghaus's portrait session

She has the sweetest smile! And if you look really, really close, you might notice that one of those little teeth is about to come out, and so we did a session for this little Miss Venghaus before it falls out. And she took extra care to dress her baby doll Riley so that they would match for the pictures.

Jena's bridal session

Now that it's safe and the groom is allowed to see her, I wanted to show you a few shots from Jena's bridal session that we did in March. She was so calm and natural and easy to work with! Thanks Jena for making the pictures so beautiful.
50 cool points to the person who can tell me where we shot her session :)

Marlo and Darel's wedding day Part 2

Here's a few of the favorites from the reception.
Marlo and Darel had a lively group of guests and they danced the rest of the night and kept the music going.

And a BIG thanks to Blake for helping out on that day with shooting! You made the day so much easier.

You can leave comments for Marlo and Darel below where it says "Comments." Let them know you love their pictures!

And they partied the rest of the night!

Marlo's bridal session

I'm so excited about this session and I've had to wait oh-so-long to finally show them to you! Marlo and I, along with her support group ;) , got together to do her session and got so excited as we went through the session. I probably could have kept going for hours! Marlo did great and we have some beautiful images to capture her time as a bride.
