Angela’s 6 month session – Tomball, Texas
Remember Angela?
Well she’s 6 months old now!
We headed out to Spring Creek Park in Tomball for a quick family session to get some adorable photos of this tiny red headed beauty!
Momma and her little girl… the first is my favorite. 
Look at her amazing blue eyes! And that fiery red hair! Soooo cute!
Child sessions definitely have a special place in my heart… especially when the kids are this cheerful!
She’s such a happy baby!
Thank you Tricia and Angela! Y’all both look so cute in purple!
Vanessa and Jonny’s Engagement – Katy, Texas
Chad and I had the opportunity to hang out with Vanessa and Jonny out in Katy for their rockin’ engagement session!
We started out in Cinco Ranch. They have awesome ponds and waterfalls everywhere and they totally complement this fun couple’s cool personalities.
- I think this one is my favorite!
- I adore these sweet and tender moments!
Oh, and we’re totally going to pretend that there was never a “stay off the rocks” sign… because if there was, we totally ignored didn’t see it.
After the neighborhood park, we went to the La Centerra at Cinco Ranch shopping center for some more unique locales.
See? I even make stores under construction fun! (Okay, Vanessa and Johnny totally make it awesome, but I can take a wee bit of credit, right?)
Right next to LaCenterra is this lovely lake. I couldn’t have asked for more perfect light.
And I never asked them to kiss… but who needs my permission, right? 
These two will be tearing up the dance floor at their wedding! Check out those moves!
Thanks you two! I can’t wait for your wedding!
Flickr’s Explore
Sometimes it’s the small achievements that make me excited.
For my blog (and for sharing, fun, and sometimes silliness), I host the photos I post on here on my flickr account. Flickr had an area called Explore and shows some of the best photos based of what they call “intrestingness” and… well, they can explain it better than I can.
Since I’ve posted the below photo last Sunday (up until right now) I’ve had 4,867 people view the photo, 334 people mark it as a favorite, and 95 people comment. On Sunday, September 28, 2008, I had the #1 photo on flickr. I’ll have more from Mark and Jackie’s wedding (and subsequent day after / trash the dress session) later, but for now, let me show off.
Ashely and Phillip’s Wedding – Spring, TX
Catching up on back-blogging (is that a term?), here is a wedding I shot this summer with the uber-talented Christine Tremoulet.
Phillip is active duty Navy, currently stationed in Virgina Beach, VA. One of my best friends since Jr. High is also in Virgina Beach right now with her man in the Navy, so we got to compare notes.
I’m feeling rather rebellious today, so instead of going in chronological order, I’m going to start off with one of my favorite images from their wedding.
The little flower girl was ready for her role while the groom anxiously awaits his bride.
I love this look she gives him at the altar!
I love these tender moments!
They had such a beautiful wedding cake! (yummy too!)
After the cake, it was time for more dancing!
Rose petals for the exit…

Rachel and Rob’s engagement session – Downtown Houston, Texas
During the summer, I always get a few photo shoots that are canceled and rescheduled due to the weather. This summer I had two that were rescheduled multiple times… Brad, Janae, and baby Bryce and then this couple, Rachel and Rob. Ironic thing is that these two sessions have some of my favorite photos ever!
I haven’t shot in downtown Houston in quite a while. Many of the parks, including the new Discovery Green require a fee for each session. Well, Rachel and Rob decided to brave it and instead of heading to the big parks, we started our session at the outdoor cafe across from the Alley Theater.
I love their tiled walls!
We found a little area to get some shots with the iconic Bank of America Center behind them…
After a few shots there, we headed away from the pavement and down to Sesquicentennial Park on Buffalo Bayou. This was actually my first time shooting down here, but it is now definitely one of my favorite places in Houston!
Playing with some textures in the best light ever.
This has got to be my mostest favoritest photo EVAR. (I’m a dork, I know.) 
Total Hottness… :P
… followed by silliness…
… and love.
Thanks Rachel and Rob! Y’all were so much fun!
Erika’s Senior Portrait Session – The Woodlands, Texas
Last month, Chad and I headed over to Erika’s home in The Woodlands for her high school senior portraits.
I really enjoy senior sessions because you get to work with some young, beautiful, and intelligent students, and Erika was certainly no exception.
When we first arrived, Erika and her mom told me that they loved this photo on my website:
I love that photo too, but I am partial. (She’s my little sister!) Erika reminds me soooo much of Kristin (liking similar movies, plays, games, ivy league schools :p ). For the record, much to Chad’s dismay, Kristin is starting her second year at The University of Texas at Austin because it’s relatively local, and because of their awesome Geo Sciences program.
But enough about Kristin… this blog post is about Erika! So here’s some of my favorites, plus some photos of the whole family!
Doesn’t she have such beautiful eyes and long lashes!
While we were inside, we had Erika’s younger sister join her for some sisterly shots.
We headed outside for some nice outdoor shots in the family’s lush backyard. This fun shot below is the one she chose for her high school yearbook! Doesn’t she have gorgeous hair?!?
Then we grabbed the whole family for some fun and unique family shots!
Thanks everyone! It was a… splash!

Little Evyn’s Photoshoot – Old Town Spring, Texas
Last Month, Chad and I were contacted by Molly and Travis to do a family shoot with their adorable little girl, Evyn. Molly has seen blog posts of Jenna and Wyatt’s engagement session of Old Town Spring, and loved the surroundings. I was so honored that people actually read my blogs that we planned a little session at some of the same locations in Old Town Spring.
Little Evyn is a girl after my own heart. I too was bald until the age of 2, but little Evyn wears it so well with precious little curls in the back!!
She truly adores her Mom and Dad, so we got lots of family shots of this wonderful close family.
Molly also wanted some photojournalistic style photos for their home, so we we had lots of fun creating unique, one of a kind images.
Enjoy!
Isn’t she the most adorable thing ever? Plus, we found a boat, of all things, and got some fun shots playing in our lake of grass.
Silliness is best viewed large.
This one may very well be my favorite…
Doesn’t she have the most gorgeous blue eyes?
This little girl loves bugs. We told her there was a bug on my camera and she wanted to see for herself!
What’s that gator got in it’s mouth? (It ended up gobbling up lots of grass, rocks, and a sippy cup!)
Chad picked up a camera and helped me out. While I was so enamoured with little Evyn’s activities, he got this wide shot of the whole family.
Finally, I have got to get me a polka dot table. Look how fun these are!
Thanks Molly, Travis, and Evyn!
