Brandy+Byron+Byron: Halloween

I happen to love Brandy and Byron and am completely honored that I have really been able to document the growth of their family: couples pictures, maternity shoot, baby shower...  This is the first time I was able to get little Byron in front of the camera, and he absolutely couldn't have been more adorable!

Little Byron was all dressed up as a purple spider for his first Halloween, and his eight little legs definitely captured my heart!

Tarin+Vince: Engagement Photographer

Tarin and Vince were a pleasure to photograph!  Although Tarin admitted her last formal portrait was probably for school pictures, she is a dancer and movement in front of the camera was no problem at all!  (I love photographing dancers)  ;)

There was an obvious chemistry between these two, and that made the session even more amazing to capture.  (My job really is awesome.)

Tarin asked for an "industrial" location, so we headed to the third ward for some texture and contrast.  I'm really glad she requested this, because it's something I have been wanting to do for a while now.  I just think there is something so striking about putting people in new and unexpected destinations.

So sweet :)

I love the colors here-

Such a pretty couple!

Partners for life :)

Brad+Michelle+Kyle+Kim: Family Photorapher

Michelle is a co-worker of Elizabeth's (you may remember her precious little babe from August) and contacted me to get some updated family photos of her own bunch.

I must say, I don't often get the opportunity to photograph families with children above the age of 8, and I was stunned at how still everyone was!  They all just stood there... and smiled... beautifully.  :)

Needless to say, it was a piece of cake to get some gorgeous shots of this pretty family. 

Barbara+Rick+grandkids: Family Photographer

I had such a great time with Amanda and her family a few weeks ago, that she convinced her mother-in-law to set up another photo session with me while they were visiting Houston.

Although fairly brief, It was wonderful meeting Barbara & Rick and I really enjoyed seeing the family again. (I love getting to see my clients throughout the year; I feel so privileged to document how they grow and mature!)

Grand-babies!

 

Clara & Brian: Wedding Photographer

Clara and Brian were referred to me by a photographer friend of mine, and I am so blessed I got the opportunity to photograph their lovely wedding.  :)

The ceremony and reception were both held at the Double Tree Hotel in downtown Houston, and the staff did a wonderful job of transforming the multi-use space during the cocktail hour.  (I love efficiency)

Lori, from Unveil planning, did an amazing job and made sure everything ran smoothly- I think this is the first wedding that ever ran ahead of schedule!  (Go, Lori!)

I loved the side-swoop of Clara's dress!

It's all in the details...

Dancin' with Little-man!
