Princess Lisa
This is one of my kids favorite babysitters. We hate to see her go off to school. Even if she did almost burn our house down, and my kids are crazy around her, we are going to miss her and her funny stories.

Here you go Princess :)

Deidrea & Casey

This cute couple is getting married this fall. I did her beautiful sisters wedding in December and have fallen in love with this family. They are so sweet, so beautiful and just a pleasure to work with.

Of course getting Casey to behave was a challenge :) Our first few shots he got distracted with a pair of tennis shoes that were hanging in the tree above us . . .

And we had a tough time teaching him how to "dip" her. I told him to practice because we will be expecting him to do better at the wedding. So get busy Casey!

Here are some of my favorites guys, and the rest will be finished soon.

Gabriel - Angleton Senior

Gabriel came in for his session today. His only request was "something different than everyone elses". Well since we've had more girls than guys this year, that wasn't too hard to do. It was fun using walls and poses I hadn't tried before.

So Gabriel, let me know what you think of these.

Krystal's Urban Expedition

We had the BEST time yesterday at Krystal's Urban Expedition. We literally shot until it was too dark to. I told her I've had some great sessions, but hers will be tough to beat. At one point we ran into some people visiting the US from London, and they really thought she was a model and they kept getting in the shots! And wanted their picture taken with her too! We laughed about that :)

So here are several favorites of mine, and boy did i have a tough time narrowing it down to these! And yes the rainbow was really there, that is NOT a photoshop trick....

Amy

Amy came in today for her studio session. We're going on an Urban Expedition in a couple of weeks, but her studio session was so fun I can't wait for the outdoor part. This first shot is for her brother at Georgia Tech. That's his Bowl jersey she's wearing and an autographed pic of him she's holding. Hope he likes it Amy!

Sad Day

Most of my clients know that my mother-in-law has been battling brain cancer for over two years now. Today (well yesterday now) the battle is over. She passed away Saturday morning at her home. I will be out of the studio for a few days, so we will have to reschedule some of you and I apologize, but it can not be helped. And some of you are waiting for online albums, please be patient and give me a few more days.

Jessica will be at the studio for order pickups and any questions, and to keep that end of the studio flowing.

So I covet your prayers for our family right now and I appreciate your patience thru this time.

Congratulations Ben & Jennie!

These guys are getting married next week! They are new to the Houston area and were such a fun couple. I don't normally Preview this many shots on my blog, but we made an exception.

Here are some of the more traditional ones that we talked about for your announcement:

Then of course some of my favorites. I don't know why no one ever puts fun, cool shots like this in the newspaper :)

And finally a "friend" we met on the beach that day . . . .

I hope you guys have a great destination wedding and a wonderful life! Hopefully I'll see you in the future!
