cypress, texas - maternity + family session

what a fun session. not only is (dr. )carolyn a friend, she is also my neighbor 3 streets over. and she also has the same house as me. well, you know, (in cookie cutter suburbia land we have the same floor plans) so it always fun to go over to her house and see how they’ve laid out their land. i was so excited she called on me to take maternity / family photos — i don’t know if it’s just me, but shooting somebody you know adds larger amounts of pressure. but we had a LOT of fun sweating it out one early cypress morning. once we felt the a/c come out some building doors, we were sold on relocating INDOORS for the remaining part of our session which worked out perfect for everybody!

carolyn and chris are expecting baby number 2 next month which is coming up SO SOON! can’t wait to meet this little baby!!

let’s get started.

helloooooo gorgeous!

they’re as hot as the day. and it was pretty dang hot out.

i loved that their dogs matched.

Summertime and the livin’s easy .

houston, texas - engagement session

i’m not going to lie- being off for 8 weeks (despite the situation) was amazing. it was nice to RELAX, hang out with the girls, and enjoy summer for once. however, getting back to to shooting felt INCREDIBLE.

lauren and h.b. will be getting married in greenbay, wisconsin this upcoming september, but they needed some engagement photos here in houston. we had fun sweating it out as houston gave us another awesome sweltering hot day. they were troopers– i have no idea it was possible to be so gorgeous when it’s a million degrees out. and because of their lambeau stadium reception (how cool is that?!?) we of course had to get some jersey shots.

lauren and h.b.- it was awesome to meet you two and i wish you many many years of happiness!

enjoy friends. it’s been a long time!

more to come.
