Sneak Peeks from this weekend!
Whew! What a busy weekend!
On Saturday I shot a lovely wedding, Sunday morning was a fun loving couple’s engagement session, and on Sunday evening, a beautiful, hazel eyed senior…
To celebrate all this craziness, I’m giving a sneak peek!
During the ceremony, Robby and Courtney share a smile as the priest made his 7th remark about having kids.
While it was storming outside, that didn’t keep us from getting some sweet photos of the lovebirds…
This is the view Amruta and Satyajit get to enjoy every day out their window! [me = jealous]
I cut though some buildings (this one being a former mattress factory – turned lofts) with this adventurous couple to find the best spots. I loved the walls and the raw wood framing the windows, and even though I didn’t have a flash on me, we made it work. 
How’s this for some straight-out-of-camera goodness?
I *heart* the ground…. and Meghan’s gorgeous eyes!
Chelsea and Jason’s Engagement Session – Downtown Houston, Texas
Chelsea and Jason are engaged! These two are so much fun and were willing to try anything!
Chelsea has an awesome wedding blog where she talks about tips, ideas, and planning her wedding! Be sure to go check it out! Do you have a wedding blog? Let me know!
For their session, we started downtown at the famous tile wall across from the Alley Theater.
I have so many favorites from this shoot, I can’t pick just one! This is definitely one of the tops!
Talk about brave! It was a looong way down!
Meet Tucker! Tucker is their adorable little chihuahua. He’s so cute and sweet! We grabbed Tucker and walked over to Sesquicentennial Park.
He is such a good poser! (I’m still talking about Tucker here, but Chelsea and Jason aren’t too shabby either.)
What would an engagement session be without me throwing Chelsea and Jason down in the grass?
Chelsea has the most amazingly beautiful eyes!
After that, we headed on down to Houston’s City Hall where a few azaleas were still in bloom.
Ring shot! 
We walked across the street to Tranquility Park for some more skyline shots…
… some silly shots…
… some seriously hot and sexy shots (fingers in his hair = awesome)…
… and finally some thing sweet.
Thanks Chelsea and Jason! I’m looking forward to your May marriage!
Nina’s Bridals – Hermann Park – Houston, Texas
Last month, Nina contacted me to shoot her bridal session here in Houston. She was having a destination wedding in Mexico a few weeks later, but wanted to capture some beautifully unique photos here in Houston first. Bright and early on a Saturday morning, we headed down to Hermann Park for her bridal photo shoot.
Just a tid bit about the way I shoot, I always try to get the standard posed photos (the classic ones that mom always likes and expects) out of the way quickly at the start of our sessions…
… they’re beautiful and simple…
… but I have to get them out of the way at the start, or I start getting so quirky and having so much fun, I’ll totally forget about them otherwise.
This one (and every single photo that follows)? Not what momma expected. 
Pink toenails = soooo adorable!
Nina had these adorable wooden fans that she was giving as gifts to the guest at her wedding. Such a cute prop!
By the way, I love it when clients bring personal items to a shoot. It makes their photographs even more unique and special!
That orange blob in the back = a homeless guy still sleeping in an orange hunting jacket. (It was after 11 am at this point.)
By the way, HUGE props to Nina’s mom and sis for assisting me through the entire shoot. Here, they were holding up a large diffuser, helping to soften and diffuse the sunlight.
LOVE this! Nina’s so hott! And the awesome sun flare through the wisteria makes everything a little better.
Yet another one of my favorites…
You might think I’m pulling your leg, but these two are ALL Nina. I asked her to stand under the wisteria, and then she started spinning all on her own. She’s a total natural!
Thanks Nina – my super-fun senorita! I had a great time!

Jenn and Jeff’s engagement session – The Galleria – Houston, Texas
Jenn and Jeff are so much fun!
These two world travelers picked a random place on the map, and are planning to tie the knot in Vancouver, BC, Canada. But for now, they’ve decided to have their engagement session close to home… right in front of their home in the Galleria! They walked to this fun little park where they usually take their dog for his runs, but this time, dog-free, for some fun couple’s photos.
Is this a girl who knows how to match her colors, or what?!
One of my favorites… Jenn and Jeff are so cute and comfy together! (And I like how the azaleas complement her shirt.)
Goofy shots! (ignore my foot at the bottom of the screen… sometimes you get that with a super-wide angle) :p
My FAVORITE! love, love, love, love, love, love…..
After staying close to home, we stopped by the Williams Water Wall in the nearby Galleria for the second half of their session.
These two were wet, totally wind blown, but that wasn’t going to stop us!
I really like these two… I also love brick walls.
Juxtaposition against the Williams Tower.
I love the reflection of the clouds in the tower, surrounded by the puffy, white clouds in the sky… Stick a smokin’ hot couple in the foreground, and it gets even better. :p
So a requirement of having me shoot your engagement session, you must lay on the ground at some point.
Okay, not really a requirement, but I should consider making it one.
rawr!
Finally, before calling it a night, we decided to mix it up just a bit.
Thanks Jenn and Jeff for rocking your engagment photos with me!
