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!

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!

I started off the meeting at a downtown Starbucks by getting too excited and spinning my laptop around, spilling hot coffee all down my dear Chad’s jeans. Sadly, I felt worse that I didn’t have the prints or the album that I ordered because they are both arriving later this week. (Chad’s a tough boy, he can take it.)

After that meeting, since we were downtown, I went to check out the Kim Son since I will be shooting a reception there in December. While I was down there, ironically, I got a call from the December bride’s sister (who hired me to take their Christmas card photos in the fall) whose sister-in-law and niece were in town. Her niece needed head shots for a Vietnamese pageant this summer. Chad and I headed over to the west side and took some awesome photos at Terry Hershey Park.

Below are a few of my favorites of Brittany and her mom, Jackie, from our shoot.

This is where Brittany gets her good looks!

Now, if you ask me, Brittany has this thing in the bag! We have our 1st place winner right here! She is so adorable!
I can’t wait for the traditional Vietnamese dress and swimsuit shoots!

On a side note, congratulations to our friends Brian and Sarah on their newest arrival, Olivia Shannon!
