DUN DUN DUN ....here comes the bride!

I have been waiting SOOOOOOO long to post these pictures. Remember my post earlier in the year, I posted a few images that didn't show her dress or veil? The wedding which I was very involved in....from engagement (actual proposal), bridals and EVERY shower and wedding event as personal photographer, as well as bridesmaid and husband a groomsman......do I need to mention I have been busy this year??? ....and loved every second of it!

The wedding was July 25th, in College Station at 7F Lodge, really beautiful venue! It was GORGEOUS!! The most AMAZING wedding I have ever attended, (besides my own of course...LOL actually theirs was much better, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE my husband more) of course I was pretty attached to the event. Our family has known the groom for seven years and he has been like an uncle to our 4 boys. Three years ago when he met his, now bride, I knew I would love her but I didn't imagine we would be the best of friends!

She was a sweet college student, 7 years my junior, I ... a mother to 4 boys celebrating my 10th anniversary this year....and shall we say hitting the big number this year as well....well big to me!!! LOL...little to many out there. And I am sure in just a few years it will seem ever so young!

Anyway...back to story~

Groom our kids god uncle, bride becomes one of my best friends.....I haven't waited for an event like this in a long time. I have not celebrated any wedding as I did theirs, I have never smiled so much throughout the vows and I have NEVER danced as long as I did at their wedding celebration! It was a joy to witness them unite after the 3 year wait!

After her bridal session several months ago I couldn't reveal her dress or veil which is supposed to be a surprise, so finally without further adieu......

To see the entire set......

Precious Little Princess

I took this sweet little girl's pictures as a newborn, ( I will post a few of her as a newborn and more from this session when I return from my trip) now she is celebrating her

1 Year Birthday!!!!

We had a session with her and her brother last year and we met again this week to capture them a year later. It was so much easier since she is no longer a newborn. We tried having her brother hold her and he kept falling back because he thought it was funny...remember she was a newborn....

Most of this session was for her birthday to capture her at this milestone so we had a lot of fun with her adorable outfits, which you know I was drooling over having only boys!!!

I love both of these shots, her look says it all in the second picture, but her look on the first is sweet as well! I will post more of our fun session later.

BABY announcement

What tremendous patience you all have....or maybe it's just that there aren't that many people checking out my site.....I won't dwell on that I would rather think highly of those who are followers and believe you are just really patient in waiting for me to post! So finally the baby announcements, although you already saw the back I am adding it again so you can see it all together or just in case you missed the last post.

So below are the front, middle and back, it was a 5x5 folded card, inside opened horizontally. My first attempt at designing I was really excited and I think it turned out really nice. Also, the client loved them and ordered 2 boxes!

Session completed!

I finally completed the session from last week. I was so excited about this adorable family, the new setting and of course my artistic abilities.....lol!!!! This is still just a sneak peek because there were SOOOOO many great shots from their session and it is not in me to limit them! So they get all the ones I love, which always ends up being TOO many.....to see the entire session go to

Going to new "Heights"

I have just discovered my new favorite location for sessions! Old doors, colorful walls, windows, and fun shops! All located in the Heights. This is just a sneak peek at a session I had this morning, I promise to post some without this amazing red door. I LOVED it, sorry all of the ones I have ready are in front of it. We managed to get several spots so there is a great variety, I guess you will have to come back to check out the rest!

This is a different door...but red none the less...

Vintage

This was an incredible family to work with. They arrived early in the morning so we would get their son at the best time of day. We moved around a lot to get several spots and this 14 month old was a trooper. He wasn't much into staying in one spot which made capturing his adorable face a bit of a challenge. In all of the pictures he is trying to get away.....but he was a LOT of fun and oh SO cute!!!!!

Senior Boy

Last summer I had a session with this senior boy, it was my first senior shoot. I have since re-edited and I believe achieved better results. I even experimented a little with some vintage looks.
