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!

Marsha and Matt's engagement session

You'll be seeing Marsha and Matt again in their wedding pictures, but for now, take a look at their engagement session. This had to be the windiest day of the year, by far! But we worked with it and didn't let that stop us. And if you'll notice, there aren't any 'jumping' pictures because not everyone is a fan of jumping. ;)

Jodee and Ian's engagement session - Preview!

Ok, so I only have a moment to post a few pictures from this session and I'm so sad because I want to show you all of them RIGHT NOW!!! But the rest are coming oh, so soon, like tomorrow. Check back!

Marlo and Darel's engagement session

First session of the year!! We headed downtown to shoot on New Years Day and what better way to ring in the new year than by doing something I love. Marlo and Darel did a great job of being themselves and having fun with it. I may have tired them out by dragging them all over downtown, but I think it was worth it, right?? Thanks for being so fun to hang out with!

I have no idea what was said here that was so funny, but I wish I knew.



Awww, so cute!





Love it!!

Julie and John's engagement session

I'll take any chance I can get to take a trip to College Station - WHOOP!

Julie and John wanted to have their engagement session up at A&M because that's where they met and it was meaningful and personal to them. So we started off on campus and walked around the MSC area, the Academic Building, and the YMCA building. Then, like any maroon-bleeding Aggies would do, we headed over to Northgate and finished off the session there.

Ok, let's be real here: I definitely enjoyed the session as a I always do, but my favorite part was after the session. We headed over to Layne's for a bite before heading back to Houston. Layne's, people!! Love Layne's. Oh, but you already know that.

Thanks guys for taking me back to the motherland! I'm looking forward to the bridal session and the wedding!

I'm trying out this new format of showing pictures so let me know what you think!

Jessica and John's engagement session ~ The Woodlands, Texas

And here's another session that was moved around because of the storm. But we were finally able to pick a day and a time. Then Jessica ended up with an injured knee, but I'm so thankful that she was a great sport and was willing to do anything I said, short of jumping.

Jessica and John, you guys were great and fun to work with. I'm so glad I caught a few of John's smiles. You guys look so natural and so happy together, and the pictures turned out great!

I'd also like to thank Ava for her assistance in this photo shoot - thanks for helping out!

Ronna and Robert's Engagement Session ~ The Woodlands, Texas

Originally, we had talked about doing this session at Galveston and I was really looking forward to those plans. But lo and behold, we had to make other arrangements. We kicked around several ideas and finally decided to head up to The Woodlands. I had fun trying several different things and I was so thankful that they were giving me the time to drive them around to several locations, including some very odd ones.

Ronna and Robert, thanks so much for your trust and your willingness to go with it. I think they turned out beautiful!

Ok, raise your hand if you like tall grass. Ugly people, put your hands down. Ha, I thought so.






Love it!!






Thankfully the sun and the weather were cooperating with us the entire afternoon. Yea!








*sigh* I love flare.

I think this one of my absolute favorite ones.
