I met Heather what seems like forever ago through our church…she’s graduating from Texas A&M this December and I was so excited when she contacted me to get in on a mini session for graduation pictures! Her sweet boyfriend, Clay, came along to get some too and I managed to convince them to take a few together as well 
Hope y’all enjoy your sneak peek!!
I started personal training with Ashley back in August and I’m pretty sure I started bugging her to let me take pictures of her and her husband shortly after that. Since then we’ve become workout partners and good friends and last month she finally agreed to let me take them out and do pictures! We spent all week going back and forth on what they were going to wear and I’m pretty sure I told Ashley one morning while we were working out (incredibly early) that I was excited to take their pictures so I could boss her around for once. 
Ashley helped me out at Erin’s session Saturday morning and was talking about how glad she wasn’t having to cheese it up for the camera…I guess she forgot she was going out with me later that evening? haha! I had so much fun with them and was glad they went along with all my crazy ideas Although the image of them in the tree above is pretty much my favorite one from their entire session and that one was all Zach’s idea!
Sarah and I went to high school together and have loosely kept in touch through Facebook over the years. Several months back she contacted me to tell me that she’d recently gotten engaged and asked if I’d be up for photographing her wedding…I was super excited and of course said I would! We met up this morning at the Capitol to take engagement pictures…this session has been a long time coming and thankfully the weather cooperated with us this morning (finally)! I can’t wait for their wedding this fall at Angel Springs.
Sarah and Jason, thanks so much for enduring the heat and humidity this morning! Enjoy your sneak peek!
Are you ready for a whole ton of sneak peeks? If so, stick around. I’ve got 5 coming to you from my shoots this weekend!
I met up with this sweet family for one of my SoCo mini-sessions yesterday. We had so much fun (even though it was rather hot!) getting some sweet shots of these twin sisters and their family. Beth and Josiah are getting married in June and I can’t wait for their wedding…I hear that there are a lot of fun things going on and it should be a blast!
Enjoy your sneak peek!
–FYI, I’ll probably write a short novel. Feel free to skip down to the pictures at the end –
I’ve known the Smiths for just about a year now. Donnie is our pastor at church and he came and visited us in the hospital the day after Will was born. Awesome, huh? It’s even more awesome if you know that Greg and I had never even met Donnie before! Let me back up a bit…the church Greg and I had been attending, a small plant church, had ended up closing at the end of November. We church shopped for a bit, but by February I was huge and pregnant and wanted nothing to do with trying out new churches every weekend. If you’ve never done that before, it’s completely exhausting. So we decided to pick up our search again after Will was born. Meanwhile, the church my parents had been attending hired a new pastor (Donnie) and my mom began raving about him. If you know my mom, you know that she’s a bit dramatic (sorry, mom, you are! ), but I could tell that there was something special about this new pastor-guy that she wouldn’t shut-up about. Fast forward to March 28th – I’m in the hospital and Will’s just been born and my mom tells me that Donnie is going to come visit us the next day. I though it was awesome and maybe a teensy bit weird that this pastor-guy that we’d never met before was going to come meet us for the first time in the hospital!
The next night (while I’m in bed and still haven’t really showered or brushed my hair or done anything but lay in bed because of my c-section – the picture of loveliness, I’m sure!), Donnie comes into our hospital room, oohs and awws over Will, talked with us like he’d known us for 15 years, and prayed the most sweet and sincere prayer over our new baby boy. The rest is pretty much history – we of course are attending The Fellowship Round Rock (amazing place, by the way, you should definitely check it out!) and we’ve become good friends with The Smiths.
We’ve been trying to get their session done for awhile now and it just hasn’t worked out. Of course tonight it is crazy windy outside and we only got about 30 minutes in before we called it quits and decided to try again next weekend…but I’m loving the images we got in those 30 minutes.
Donnie and Kristina, thanks so much for hanging out with me tonight and for being such awesome friends! Enjoy this little preview – I’m looking forward to the rest of our session!
This is one of my favorites!
Yeah, I know it’s not 2009 anymore. Better late than never, right? I had a seriously hard time narrowing it down to ten. So I didn’t! These are my 21 favorites from my client sessions in 2009. And believe me, it was HARD to choose! I had such wonderful, amazing, awesome clients last year. Thank you all for trusting me, for doing every strange, silly thing I asked you to all in the name of photography. I hope you love your images as much as I do and had a fabulous 2009. You all played such a special part of my year!
Without further adieu, here they are (in no particular order)….my client favorites from 2009!

This Mommy-to-be is absolutely glowing…she’s beautiful inside and out and I am so excited I got to capture her pregnancy for her! Their little girl is due in just a few short weeks and I know the parents-to-be have a lot to do to prepare for her arrival, but are also so ready to meet her. Heck, I am too! It was absolutely gorgeous weather out this evening, just another one of the long list of reasons why I love Texas. And I love love love their pictures. Yummy light, gorgeous couple – what more can you ask for?
Sarah and Michael, I hope you enjoy your sneak peek! Good luck getting everything ready before your little girl makes her grand entrance. See you in a few weeks!
