moneeza and sarfraz engagement session

I met up with Moneeza and Sarfraz at The Westin La Cantera. I love shooting at new locations and it is such a beautiful place. When you are there, we cannot tell that you are still in the city. We wandered around there for awhile and then headed over to The Shops at La Cantera for a more modern/casual feeling. Here are my favorites from their session.

elena and alex engagement photos

I adore these two!! A-D-O-R-E! They are seriously the most genuine, kind, fun and so obviously in love couple I think I have ever met. I left the session with a smile on my face and I could not wait to go through the images. We met up at Trinity University, where they both went to school. Elena said that they had to have some of that famous “red brick” in their pictures. Another random tidbit, they are a referral from the wonderful Lyla and Stephen. I love our clients. Here are my many, many favorites. Get ready for Elena and Alex cuteness overload :)

See what I mean?! This shot was taken within the first 60 seconds of shooting! 7 AM and in looooooove : )Elena you are simply lovely :)This one makes me smile. Again, this is the very first frame I shot after they laid down. I love how she looks at him.I got so excited when I saw that the morning light was in a perfect spot in the “secret garden.”

Next, we headed over to their favorite coffee shop, The Foundry. I was in love. It is the coolest place and they were so nice to allow us to shoot there.

Elena says that their drink choices sum up their personalities. Alex on the left and Elena on the right :)

Elena and Alex love to play a card game called Bonanza. In the game, you grow crops, trade them with other players, and earn gold coins according to the amount/type of crops you have.I think this is my favorite from the session. Elena, this is the perfect image for your kitchen.If you don’t already adore Elena and Alex as much as I do, you will after this next series. All I had to say was, “Funny faces. Ready – go!” You two are the most joyful couple. We should recreate these shots on your wedding day – are you game?!Thank you Elena and Alex for making my morning so fun. We cannot wait for the wedding. Congratulations! We are so blessed to be your photographers.

Elena - Oh my goodness! These are so fun!! How very exciting… Can’t wait for November! :)

ann is married!

You may remember Ann from her wedding last month. She wanted to do a bridal session, but because they live in Louisiana, the timing just did not work out before the big day. It was so great to do a session after the wedding. We were all more relaxed and could just have fun. I met up with Ann, her mom and her adorable dog, Annabell at Market Square downtown. I love shooting there. It is so colorful. Here are my favorites from the session.

She has admitted that she has a shoe problem. I do too, so I think this is awesome!!

Abby - These photos are adorable!! Where did you take these photos? La Villita?

my sunshine

We just got a brand new Canon 5D Mark II. It has amazing video capabilities. Yesterday, we decided to test them out on Kaylinn’s niece. I still have a lot to learn, but it isn’t too shabby for my first try :) Check out her crazy cuteness!!

Sada - Oh my goodness, that is adorable! So cool!

Getting poked and prodded!

One of the requirements for our adoption is a general physical exam and blood work. Chris and I haven’t had a physical since high school, so we figured it was about time anyway :) As a photographer, I am planning on documenting every step of the journey…even the doctor’s visits :) Thankfully, the nurse was sweet and didn’t mind my big camera in her face. The process was quick and nearly painless. Here we are getting poked and prodded.

Our colorful bandages.All done!! We went back a few days later to get all the results. Everything is normal. Physical examination form is notarized, we are one step closer to our baby : )
