Abbey and Gregg's wedding day

Another beautiful wedding with Ashley!

Great shoes!





Abbey had such a great time with her bridesmaids!





This is Abbey's expression when she's around her brother.








First dance with her dad.


First dance with the groom.








What did I tell you about her brother?

A night shoot just for fun

I got together with some members of the Woodlands Photography Club for an instructional night shoot and I enjoyed just playing around with some lighting setups. Thanks Vu for putting it together!










Awww, he's got angel wings!

Jaclyn and James's wedding day

Jaclyn and James enjoyed an intimate ceremony and dinner with their families and then followed up with a reception for friends and family a week later. I was honored to be a part of their intimate ceremony and to photograph them with their families. Then, I showed up to their reception and photographed them and their guests in a photobooth - so fun!

I love this sweet moment right after they are officially prounced husband and wife.



We followed the ceremony with a photo session out on the golf course at the country club. It's a beautiful place and they did great!








......and then the reception! You can see the rest of their guests' pictures in the online gallery.

Baby Rushing's 1 year birthday

Yea, she's such a big girl now! This sweet little girl had a birthday party for her friends and family and they enjoyed playing outside and eating yummy cake. It's such a thrill to watch her grow up and get cuter and cuter.

I'm in the mood to reminisce, so here's a flashback of Baby Rushing as she's grown up: her 3 month session and her 7 month session.

Jaclyn and James' engagement session

It was the most perfect day for pictures! Jaclyn and James were also so relaxed and easygoing that it made the session easy. I'm looking forward to your wedding day!

Amburgey Family Session

Last Spring I did a senior portrait session for Brian and now we're meeting the rest of the family! They wanted to be sure to get this done while everyone was still in the same city so thankfully it worked out for us to do it. I'll admit that while I was editing through the pictures, I was laughing out loud remembering some of the shenanigans of the day. Boys will be boys.
Guys, thanks for having fun with it and for humoring me!

The boys and the parents.

A few fun group shots.



I realize the first one in this series isn't technically perfect as I barely had a moment to catch what was going on in the background. Mom and Dad didn't even know what was going on when it started.
The boys, goofing around. Lesson learned: don't wear white socks to photo sessions. You'll get grief about it ;)

I love the light here!

So fun!!

Rushing family

She just keeps getting cuter! I saw Baby Rushing and her parents at her 3 month session and now she's sitting and smiling! We ventured outside this time and practically did flips to keep her smiling throughout the whole session. I discovered that she really likes the feel of grass in her fingers, which sounds fine enough, but not when you want her to look up. Don't worry, she'll grow out of it and grass won't seem so interesting. See you next time, guys!

The Venghauses

Meet the Venghauses! We got together early one morning to get some shots for their Christmas cards and we all survived the morning! What you're seeing here is grandparents, parents, and the five granddaughters. After the session, they all headeded home for their Thanksgiving celebration - a well deserved meal.

In this first image, I love how the little one is trying to walk and keep up with the rest of them.

The whole crew!

Then we took a few shots of just J&M's family.

Then, just the girls!!!

What little girls are made of.....

I love this series!
