Welcome!
I'm so very ecstatic that you decided to join the party.  It is my life's passion to keep you entertained through my photographs of weddings, babies, my family, and pretty much anything that moves me. 

Stick around and become part of the family. 
Come early, come often, leave comments.

Thank you to all of my clients and blog readers for being patient with me over these last few weeks as I've been educated at the always intense Foundation Workshop and as I gave photography from the heart, photographing Carson Richardson's visitation, funeral, and burial services.  It has been a trying couple of weeks that have not let up, being sprinkled with already planned engagement sessions, baby sessions, and life as I know it.  I am truly blessed to have clientele who are beyond fun to work with and make my work so enjoyable that it doesn't even feel like a job.  So, thank you.  I can't wait to show you all of the fun stuff that has been piling up.

Also, thank you to Bobby, for putting up with me as I have been MIA both physically and mentally.  You are my angel, ALWAYS.  Thanks to Millie for never withholding hugs and kisses even though I haven't been around for Mommy-Millie days as much as I'd like to.  Finally, thanks to my amazing friends, Natalie, Joanna, Holly, Mandy, Sarah and Kathryn for helping me with Millie, for encouraging me, and for unconditionally being there for me in times that frozen margaritas are for celebrating/gossiping and also those times when they are for commiserating/crying.  I love you all.

Now, onto a fantastic couple getting hitched in May!  Lauren + Alex are insanely gorgeous and their chemistry is undeniable.  It's like, duh.  I didn't really direct them at all...just kinda followed them around like a creepy stalker for an hour, and this is what we came up with.  If it doesn't make you want to find your better half for some snuggles, you are a cold and heartless alien robot from the planet NoLuv.

So sweet, and so appreciative of the photojournalistic style I strive toward, Melissa and Jason are a great match for me.  We got together for a quick engagement/get-to-know-each-other session just a week before their wedding in the freezing cold morning mist.  They were such troopers and afterward, we ended up chatting at Starbucks with some lovely lattes like old friends.  We even met a guy (read:  genius of 3rd Millennium Chess) that invented a three dimensional chess board and he let us play with it for a bit.  Fun!  I can't wait to show you their wedding images.  You.  Will.  Freak.  Eeeeeeee!

So.  I have this friend.  Who has a sister in law.  Who has a boss.  Who is now engaged.  Her name is Jen, and she is at least in my top 3 for nicest people I have ever met.  Her fiance Nadav is right up there with her on the nice to mean scale, and is also unexpectedly hilarious.  They have a dog, or some may even say a son, named Winston.  It was a joy to capture the three of them (and sometimes just the humans) sharing their sweet sincere love for each other.  There is nothing more inspiring than that! 

Jen + Nadav were a little nervous to have their pictures taken, but after a while, they were shining like supah-stars!  I can't wait until their January 30th wedding in Austin.  It is sure to be a love-filled day in a winter wonderland!

Kate - they look amazing, thank you so much! Despite the humidity, frizzy hair and that big yellow dog running circles around us all, you made magic happen as usual! The pictures are beautiful - I especially love the ones at the Domain where the color is really vivid. I can't wait to see you again in January!

It was the perfect fall day, complete with multi-colored fallen leaves sprinkled across the ground.  Diana and Clay could not have been easier to work with, or more fun, and we had a merry merry afternoon together, getting to know each other.  I can't wait for their January 2nd wedding.  Less than 1 month away!!!

This is one of my favorite engagement sessions I've ever done.  Why?  I'll let the images speak.  I'm sure you can figure it out.  Diana and Clay's beauty (inside and out) translates loud and clear!

I cannot wait for Megan + Mike's wedding.  They are getting hitched on November 14th in Austin, and they have so many fun tricks up their sleeves!  I recently photographed their engagement session in Austin and we had such a fun time despite the early hours, the cold weather, and Megan's oncoming cold.  It's wonderful when you connect so much as new friends that you can overlook those things and infuse a morning with constant laughter!

Check out these supermodels WORKIN' IT!
