Jacob + Jill [Engagement Portraits]

Posted on March 25, 2010

I’ve known Jacob since… well, since he was born. Our moms are cousins, but more like sisters. They grew up together and I’ve heard many stories of their adventures as kids, teens, and newlyweds. As kids I remember our families visiting each other now and again, and every year on the 4th of July, they’d come spend the day with us, eating and shooting fireworks. We had a lot of good times.

Now we’re all grown up and Jacob is getting married this summer (as is his sister Jessica… you’ll be seeing them both a lot over the next few months), and I’m so happy to be a part of this stage in their life too. The other day, I was talking (or was it e-mail) to Jacob’s mom and she told me, “You’re just going to love Jill. She is so great!”

And it’s true.

I had so much fun shooting Jacob and Jill’s engagement portraits! I’m flattered that they’d drive all the way from Dallas to San Antonio and back all in one day just so I could take their pictures! I’m honored. And a special thanks goes out to my mom, who happened to be in town and came along as my “assistant”. Here are a few previews from their session!
