family session

when i get to put together amazing storyboards like THIS i remember how much i love what i do:

sullivan 1 year old now!

 okay, maybe a wink over 1 year old… but i’ve had fun meeting him when he was belly, newborn, baby, and now little boy!

sullivan and harrison = double trouble (watch out kelly- i can only imagine them in 10+ years!)

i very much *love* the image on the right.

the men in kelly’s life. she’s a lucky gal.

feels like we’re on holiday. (’cause it sounds so much hipper than vacation)

kelly- this one is probably my favorite for the year! it needs to be added to the wall!

sullivan couldn’t have been more thrilled.

hello symmetry.

while the stereo type of texans are boots and western– these two hail from the west coast. oregon + washington.

whitney = gorgeous. (ps. you totally look like you know who…)

no photoshop enhancing those clouds. it poured just 20 minutes into our session causing us to reschedule.

(10% chance of rain!)

session 2.  no rain clouds, just HOT and humid. WAY humid.

this series is my FAVORITE.

meet their puppy Hoot!

casey, practice makes perfect.

 your math lesson for today =      SEERSUCKER > tuxes

tyler, i didn’t think you would. but i love that you did.

“something blue” for bride’s shoes is sooooooo this year.

this boutonniere  just kicked a carnations booty.

jbo get’s creative when she is summonsed  to the balcony.

my favorite.

for my california fans– SEE, there ARE palm trees in texas.

if you are a groomsman in the near future- please take note:

it *IS* okay to have a little fun. SEE?  lighten up a bit. these guys did– WIN.

(ps love these shots taken by my assistant janica)

i love these two.

the details of this weddding were AMAZING.

what i loved most about jean and tyler’s wedding is that they were did a lot of what THEY wanted regardless of tradition.

 i’m so excited to finally post this bridal session! tiffany is one of my AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS june brides and well- proof is in the photos– she’s just stunning. can’t wait to share her wedding images!! (click HERE if you’d like a refresher of her engagement photos w/ groom matt)

the DRESS. it’s ridiculous. it’s wow. it’s beyond stunning. add tiffany to the mix and well, it sure does make taking photos SO much fun to do. (never mind the houston heat we endured while taking these).

 carmen from casa de novia bridal couture was a huge help to make sure the dress was placed perfectly (and safe from grubby photographer hands) during our session. thanks carmen!
