Felicia + Adrian [San Antonio Maternity Portraits]

Posted on September 3, 2010

Felicia and Adrian are one of those couples that, when I first met them, I felt connected to them right away. They’re super sweet and laid back, and very much in love. I loved being a part of their wedding, and I’m thrilled to be able to continue to capture their story as they move on to the next phase in their life. Baby Adrian Jr. will be arriving in just a few weeks (Felicia doesn’t look 8 months pregnant, does she?!), so we got together the other day at Brackenridge Park to document this fabulously exciting time in their lives! Can’t wait to meet the newest member of this awesome family!

Felicia and Adrian brought along a couple of the sonogram photos to incorporate into the session. Love it!

I love couples that are willing to have fun and be candid during a session!

One More…

I know I already posted pictures of Baby Ella, but I just came across this one and I just love it, so I had to share… aren’t these sweet little newborns lately precious?!

Baby Benjamin [Newborn Portraits]

Posted on August 30, 2010

I was so excited when I got the call from Heather the other today to let me know that their sweet new baby had finally arrived! The other day, I had the opportunity to meet their precious new baby boy, Benjamin, and to photograph him and his wonderful family in the comfort of their own home. I got the chance to pick him up and hold him a while and he was just so tiny and sweet. The whole time I was there, he didn’t cry a peep! Here are a few of my favorite images from the night.

Proud big sister, Catie, on her big girl bed. Isn’t she precious?!

Riggs [Birthday Party]

Posted on August 25, 2010

I had the chance this past weekend to photograph Riggs’ backyard birthday party. I can’t believe he’s getting to be such a big boy! There was TONS of fun to be had with the giant bounce house in the back yard and lots of cousins and friends to play with. Their family is so fun and sweet, it was an honor to be able to spend part of the day with them to celebrate such a sweet boy. Here are a few of my favorite shots…

I was also able to sneak in a few shots of sweet baby Sawyer in her little pink tutu! Isn’t she beautiful?! I just love how smiley and happy she was. She’s such a good baby!

Baby Ella [Newborn Portraits]

Posted on August 20, 2010

I got the chance to photograph baby Ella when she was two weeks old. I had forgotten just how tiny and sweet newborns are! I’m getting ready to turn in for the night, but wanted to take a minute to share just a few of my favorite shots. Congratulations to Ashley and Harlan on their new addition. You are great friends and I couldn’t be more excited for you!

Ryan + Julie [Family Portraits]

Posted on August 9, 2010

Ryan and his two brothers are the closest thing I have to brothers. Growing up, I spent tons of time with my cousins and I have so many great memories with them. Ryan was older than me and I always thought he was so cool. I didn’t know many older girls, but I knew Julie. Her mom was my kindergarten teacher. So when my cousins moved to the town where we lived, I secretly hoped he and Julie would end up together, because she was really cool too. Well, lo and behold, these two started dating as Freshmen in high school and have been together ever since, and they have a beautiful family! It was so fun being able to photograph their family and spend time laughing and having a good time. Ryan and Julie, I still think you’re super cool. So glad we’re family!

This is what happens when you play Hannah Montana on your iPhone on a shoot!

Baby Andre

Posted on March 31, 2010

I don’t put personal stuff on here much, but I wanted to share the newest member of our family. This is my adorable new nephew, Andre. Isn’t he precious?! I was so thrilled when my sister called me last week to tell me that she was headed to the hospital. The kids and I packed up and went to meet him. Even though I’m not that far removed from having babies of my own, I was just amazed at how tiny and sweet and precious newborns are. Love it! Here are a few images. I’m hoping to go back and get some newborn portraits of him.

Jason + Natalie [San Antonio Family Portraits]

Posted on January 14, 2010

I was friends with Jason and then with Natalie before I ever knew they’d be my family (I married Jason’s brother)… and before they even knew that someday they would be married. We were part of the College & Careers group at church and we hung out, and they were great friends. Fast forward eight or nine years, and here we all are. Jason and Natalie are not only friends, but family and I feel SO lucky. Words seem to seem insignificant to describe how much they mean to our family.

I had to laugh because Natalie and I planned the shoot all out. She had the idea to do pics in their pajamas… in bed… outside. I LOVED LOVED LOVED the idea. So Aaron and I loaded up a bed into the back of the truck (I have such an awesome husband! He’s always so willing to help me out with anything!) and went to meet Jason and Natalie. Well, as usual, the boys rode in the truck and the girls rode in the car. As the guys started driving, Jason looks at Aaron and says, “So… why do you have a bed in the back of your truck?” When we stopped for gas, Jason motioned for me to roll down the window. He looked at Natalie and I and, his voice thick with doubt, said… “In bed? We’re taking pictures in bed? Outside?” Ha ha! We laughed and he reluctantly said that he trusted me. Natalie, thanks for the great idea, and Jason… thank you for your trust. Really. It means a lot that you didn’t turn around and go back home.

Reagan [Portraits]

Posted on September 23, 2009

I’m not a super girly girl. Don’t get me wrong, I love the chance to get dressed up, I love high heels and jewelry and all that, but I can just as easily be found sporting jeans, a t-shirt, flip flops and a ponytail. I’ve always sort of envied people who always look classy and gorgeous and put together all the time and my sister-in-law, Natalie, and my niece, Reagan, are always like this. They just have this classic femininity about them that I admire — not the stuffy, unapproachable kind — just comfortable-gorgeous-put-together-classy-ness. Know what I mean?

I wanna be like them when I grow up.

So today, when we ventured out into the rain and mush for Reagan’s one year portraits (could it have really been one year since she was born?), that was my goal — to capture the essence of girliness, beauty, and class that Natalie and Reagan exude. I had fun, girls! And Happy Birthday, Rae-Rae!!
