Laura + Gabe [Engagement Portraits]

Posted on March 17, 2010

I have loved getting to know Laura and Gabe over the last several months. Every time Laura and I get together, there’s much laughter and great conversation. The very first time I met her, she just gushed about Gabe… about what an amazing guy he was, about his passion for Mississippi State football, about his dog, the things they do when they’re together, and on and on. I could tell she was head over heels for him. When I had the chance to meet Gabe, I could tell that this love was not one-sided. He is every bit as much in love with her. Seeing love like that never gets old. That’s why I love my job. I can’t wait to photograph their wedding in October and to watch their love grow even deeper over the coming months and years!

Here are just a few of my favorites from their engagement session!

2010 Brides’ Choice Award!!

Posted on January 19, 2010

When I sat down to check my e-mail this afternoon, the last thing I expected was to find that I had received an award. Of any kind. In fact, when I saw the header “You’ve Been Selected…” I almost deleted it. Thankfully, I didn’t, and I found out that I’ve received the 2010 Brides’ Choice Award from WeddingWire.com! I can’t say thank you enough to both my totally amazing brides and to WeddingWire for such an honor! Read more about it here!

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.

Amanda [San Antonio Bridal Portraits]

Posted on January 14, 2010

From the moment I met Amanda, I knew I liked her. She’s very laid back and unassuming, and she has the most beautiful smile. As we sat and talked over coffee one day, I was in awe of just how sweet she was. Can this be real? I wondered. A few months later as we walked around the quiet grounds of the McNay together shooting her bridal portraits, I could tell… this was no act. She really is that sweet. And she looked positively radiant in her silver Alfred Angelo gown. Loved it!

Amanda and Rick’s wedding was this past weekend, so be looking for pictures from the big day soon!

Update + Preview

Posted on January 13, 2010

Happy New Year, everyone! I’m slowly getting back into normal life… really slowly. I’m embarassed to admit that my Christmas tree is still up.

Yeah, really.

I’m super excited about 2010 though! 2009 was awesome. I met so many great people, had such great opportunities, had a lot of fun, and made a lot of great friendships… I feel SO thankful. I’m thrilled about all of the people I will be (and have already been) working with this year!

In honor of the new year, I wanted to extend to you a special offer. If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you already know about this, but I’m offering 50% off BIG PRINTS (16×20 or larger) through January 20th! This sale only happens once a year so take advantage of it!

I guess that’s about it for the updates, but I wanted to share this image with you from my first wedding of 2010. More previews to come from Amanda and Rick’s wedding hopefully later this week or early next week!

Merry Christmas!

Posted on December 24, 2009

I have to admit, I haven’t been too great about slowing down and really taking in the Christmas season. As of right now, I am pushing all else aside for a while, and soaking in what Christmas is all about… love, thankfulness, family, giving, laughter, and most of all… Jesus.

I will be out of the office until January 5th. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! Make some memories (and don’t forget your cameras)!!!

God bless,
Breanna

Brielle [Senior Portraits]

Posted on December 16, 2009

Brielle is a beautiful, confident, and fun-loving girl and we had such a good time shooting her senior portraits. She brought along two of her best friends to make her laugh and to take a few pictures with. Senior year is such an exciting time! Brielle, I had a blast! Thanks so much!
