Nicole and Aaron...and Beer!

Tue, 02 Mar 2010 19:33:20 -0600

Sunday was the second of two engagement sessions this weekend and Nicole and Aaron wanted to check out the Beer Can House in Houston, TX. I have been wanting to go there for awhile, so this was perfect!

We hit up a few corners there and I snagged some extra shots just for fun.

This is the couple who changed the house back in the 60's...:)

Lissette and Robert : E-Seshing it up!

I assisted JP Beato this weekend with a few engagement shoots in Houston. Lissette and Robert were so comfortable in front of the camera and made this shoot a lot of fun!

Also, the weather (unlike right now :o) could not have been better...hopefully there are many more days like this in the near future because things are about to get crazy!

Welcome Scarlett Evelyn!

This was a super exciting traveling week! It started with a wedding in San Jose, CA and ended with a bridal shoot in Harlingen, TX, but the very best part by far were the days in the middle. JP and I got to spend 4 wonderful days with the lovely little girl you see below. Her name is Scarlett and she is the newest member of the family!

Sneak Peek...Paige and Charles!

Little Carter and Big Fisher...

I had a ton of fun shooting this little girls 3 month baby portraits! Her name is Carter Elizabeth and she brought along her baby body guard Fisher to help out.

Fisher is a Great Dane and we got some really fun shots of him too. The last one makes Fisher look a little crazy, but he was a total sweetheart...its is in here because it makes me laugh out loud every time I see it!

Beth and Mason Love Chocolate!

Mon, 15 Jun 2009 16:16:06 -0600

A few weeks ago (I'm a little behind :) we shot Beth and Mason's engagements in Calvert, TX. It's a sleepy little town about 20 minutes outside of College Station and I'm not sure what really goes on there because every time I drive through all the stores are closed. It's kinda creepy actually...but you didn't hear me say that.

This time however, we stumbled upon the hidden gem of Calvert...COCOAMODA! They have a full bistro style menu...and...da dadada...TRUFFLES!

Thankfully Beth and Mason are chocoholics too, so we had a nice little shooting intermission and all took advantage of our new discovery. If you ever pass through there they are open late so stop in and check out the tasty treats!

Thanks to you both for a very fun session!

Lynsey and Beau : Abilene, TX

Tue, 02 Jun 2009 23:17:40 -0600

Lynsey and Beau were married a few weekends ago at Logsdon Chapel on the Hardin-Simmons University Campus. The wildest stained glass I have ever seen in my life was the backdrop for their ceremony, but it was so much fun to shoot! Lynsey added some super-fun sneakers to her attire as a surprise to Beau, and they finished up the night at the Historic Windsor Hotel in downtown Abilene, TX.

Joy's having a baby!

Thu, 28 May 2009 15:59:36 -0600

Joy is JP's beautiful sister and is due to have a baby girl this August! She and her husband Andy live in Denver, CO so we were super excited to get to photograph her at a recent family trip to Seattle. The W Hotel and Olympic Sculpture Park were the perfect backdrops for our little impromptu maternity session.

Paige and Charles : Engagements + 1 :)

Mon, 25 May 2009 18:59:53 -0600

Paige and Charles are getting married later this summer and we shot their engagements a couple weeks ago in downtown Bryan, TX. I'm so glad that they brought their little boy Rhett to play along! We got some great shots of the fam together and I can't wait to see him all dressed up for the wedding!

My Favorite!

Austin, TX trailer eats tour...mmm, so good!

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 22:32:01 -0600

This weekend we had a wedding in Fredericksburg...which turned out to be absolutely beautiful despite the torrential downpour all the way there on Friday, so I'll be blogging it very soon. :)
On the way back, we decided to stop off in Austin to grab a bite and say hi to some friends. Starting with first things first after a wedding...COFFEE, or in this case yummy flavored rootbeer and free wireless at Progress Coffee on East 5th.

We were having trouble deciding on lunch, but saw a blog post about all the new airstream trailers on South Congress...so we bopped on down to check it out. All I have to say is...crispy chicken and avocado Mighty Cone...TASTE EXPLOSION!

JP was munching on some tasty fries that came with the slider cone, ha!

After that...and a short two trailers down the street, we hit up the next place for some snacks to ride home with. I was suckered in by the dill pickle popcorn, but don't be fooled by the name because you would be too!

Last but not least...we stopped of to say hi to B-Dub (aka Brian Wills the creatively talented) while he was playing ultimate frizbee.

When we finally got home there was this awesome flower in the yard that I had never seen before. I guess all that crazy rain left us a little present while we were gone!

Becky and Barrett : Boerne, TX

Tue, 07 Apr 2009 14:45:56 -0600

Woohoo! Becky and Barrett are getting married June 6th in San Antonio, TX and I had a blast helping JP shoot their engagements dragging them up and down Main Street in Boerne, TX. Thanks for being troopers through all the outfit changes and back-alley adventures!

Lynsey & Beau : May 23, 2009

Last weekend I got to hang out with a really fun couple, Lynsey and Beau. We did a little walking around campus, and then hit Downtown Bryan to finish up the afternoon! They had such awesome energy together, I can't wait to shoot their wedding!
