Kristin&Joseph

Kristin&Joseph are getting married in Santa Fe! I can't wait for the wedding. Not only are they super cool couple but they have an awesome location! Lets see... what I find most endearing about Kristin... she's pretty, kinda goofy, has a great smile and has a hard time following directions. It's really adorable! Joseph... well he's a musician, has a great smile and can follow directions really well! See they are perfect for each other. Thanks for everything!

Kelley, Kirk &Rosco!

I had a great time with Kelley&Kirk yesterday. It's funny how my last two engagement sessions came with guys in cowboy hats! We also had the pleasure of working with Rosco...who happens to be one of the most adorable dogs I've ever seen. He might be small, but he can scrap with the big boys. It's going to be great to photograph their wedding at one of my favorite venues, Austin71 this fall.
P.S. Kelley, don't forget to pack on the sunscreen this summer! :)

Jodi&Adam, Lakeway Resort&Spa

I love shooting available light and Lakeway is a true gem for this. The lighting can be amazing!
This photo has beautiful lighting and movement... 2 of my favorite things.

As a parent I really connect with this photo because I can picture myself standing up there with my kids one day. These moments in life are few and far between.

Creating unique portraiture is very important to me. We found this blank room and it ended up being perfect for this Cary Grant and Greta Garbo feel... timeless and unique.

Correne&Court, Driskill

I love thhe expression! It makes me smile... every time I see this photo.As I was walking out of the room I quickly grabbed some more shots of the boys before the door closed. What makes this shot to me is the door.

This is a beautiful portrait! The double reflection was hard to get but worth the extra time.

Ashley&Kris, Stephen F. Austin

I love how sweet and simple this photo is... Once again I'm reminded why I adore love.

The coolest cake shot ever! Not your ordinary cake shot... those curtains demanded attention.

Boys and their toys! Gotta keep the kids entertained.

Meredith&Jason, Laguna Gloria

oh... once again as a parent I love this. I feel the love! And I love how this photo shows Jason's goofy personality.

I love when I get the mishaps... those unexpected accidents in life.

This romantic light really shows the intimacy and beauty of this sweet ceremony.

Chandra&Jarod, Navasota TX
Those final moments just before seeing Jarod... it truly was a quiet moment and in a room of girls those are hard to find.
This amazing light cannot be replicated or found easily or photographed easily! It's like staring into the sun.

I love Chandra's expression! To me casual shots are not only beautiful but show the couples personality.

Kristy&Alberto, Barr Mansion

A different kind of bridesmaids shot! I love the color and the simplicity of it.

ah.......... COLOR!

I love it when we get to have some fun... but I especially love this shot because the guy at the end doesn't look amused... nope not one bit!

Light, cool expressions, color and movement! I feel like I'm there again, surrounded by all the DANCING!

Shannon&Marshall, Fort Worth TX

I want to be one of the guys... put me in a tux.

Something a bit different! Shooting through the glass of a convertible and adding some cross processing for a unique portrait.

I'm not a big fan of flash but you have to use it... and using it correctly can give you some awesome shots and it doesn't hurt that the car is super COOL!

Debbie&Chris, The Vista on Seward Hill

This is how I felt with my dad the day of my wedding! It makes me want to cry..

I love the emotion in this photo... You know everyone was super happy and excited.Who doesn't like mariachi pants! REALLY? I love capturing little details throughout the day.

Lauren&Ryan, Horseshoe Bay
I love how all of Lauren's girls took the time to write a special note to her...on her shoe! I'm sure by the end of the night, some of the notes faded away, but the lucky girls whose names stayed are next to get married!I absolutely love this photo... It's probably one of my favorites of all time. I think it speaks for itself.
This has to be one of my favorite band shots ever! It truly shows the atmosphere of the night.

Lisa&Mark, Vintage Villas
This photo of Lisa is very striking. I love all of the different elements in it (all the straight lines), including the warm tones.
Not all moments are necessarily meant to be captured by the camera....but I'm so glad I got this one!
We were able to get some great shots as the sun was setting. I love how the wind lifted Lisa's veil just enough to catch some of that great light.

Annie&Austin, Barton Creek Resort
Shooting into the light isn't particularly easy and you never know what you might get. Sometimes it's not so great but other times you create something unique.
I think this moment is so sweet... I love Annie's expression.
This shot makes me feel like they are the only 2 people in the world. Very surreal!

Erika&Matt, Villa AntoniaSome of the best details don't take months to plan or coordinate.
Gotta love the kids again! I wish they would all turn around and look at me like I'm crazy!It was very important to Matt to have a Cigar BAR... and how cool is it to play with smoke.
