Brittany {Bridals at Sam Houston Heritage Park}

Everyone meet the new Mrs. Shuman! We met up several weeks ago downtown to shoot her bridals, but of course they were on lockdown until today! It was a bit warm out, but Brittany (and her awesome bridesmaids!) were troopers. Here are some of my favorite shots, and you will be seeing more of Brittany in her wedding photos from today!
Thank you Brittany for letting me share in this very special time!!

Kendall-Rygaard-Ousley {Family Session at League Park-League City, TX}

It's funny how there are certain people in your life that have such an impact, that even if you go many years without seeing them, it's almost as you pick up right where you left off when you meet again.

I grew up on Williams Drive. I know that I lived somewhere else when I was a baby, but as far back as my memories go, it was life on Williams Drive until I left to go to A&M. I have an enormous amount of memories from that old street, and the two different houses that we lived in (yes at one point we moved just down the street). I don't remember exactly when, but at some point when I was in grade school, the Kendall's moved in next door. Mr. and Mrs. Kendall, and their three children- Holly, Jason, and Amanda. Jason and I were the closest in age, and instantly became friends. So many of the good memories that I have as a kid growing up on that street- playing in the streets, riding bikes, going to the park, involve this amazing family. What I can say is that this is one of the most wonderful, loving, caring families I have ever met. They hold a very special place in my heart, and always will.

I was SO excited when Holly contacted me about doing some family portraits for them. Her oldest son Austin, just graduated from High School and so everyone was going to be in town. I had not seen them in probably close to 15 years! So, without anymore rambling, here are the sneak peeks of this beautiful family and all their additions!

Happy Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Quick!!!

Im a couple days late on this (OOPS!), but Michael and Jayme celebrated their 1 year wedding anniversary over the weekend! Happy Anniversary you guys! It has been such a pleasure sharing in your journey over this past year, and getting to do so many photos for you. You have a beautiful family, and I wish you many many more years of love and happiness!!

Lori+Frank {Engagements-Cypress, TX}

So, this session started off all wrong. My google maps took me about 15 minutes the wrong way, which made me really late. I hate being late. Not to mention it was  HOT outside. But within minutes of getting there I realized this had to be one of my most fun sessions..ever. Frank introduced me to his 4 kids who were quiet for about 5 seconds, and very quickly had no problem showing their personalities in the photos. They were cracking me UP. Every time Id go to take a picture with them in it, I would catch at least one of them making a face, doing a funny hand signal, or just plain being silly. They definitely kept us all laughing. I thought it was really cool that Lori and Frank included them in the photos, and we really had a fun time! So, in honor of all the fun we had, you will definitely see some of the funny outtakes below. Enjoy! Stay tuned from more of this couple as I will be shooting their wedding as well.
