Beautiful Bride: Tracee

I am in the middle of editing their wedding right now, but had to take a break to blog something! We shot some quick bridals before the ceremony. Tracee was the most chill- laid back bride! Not to mention she is a friend- so this was a very fun day. I cannot wait to share more from their beautiful and fun wedding. stay tuned!

Also- there are about to be BIG changes around here... new blogsite, logos, colors, photocart. I am super excited to share all that I have been working on and think it is worth the wait!!

Remember When....

Congratulations to Chuck and Sharon Bauer!!!! Their wedding was a wild night to remember. It started with a SHORT and sweet ceremony, followed by some good ol' bar b que and beer; later the band was kicked off stage for some impromptu karaoke!

Happy Quinceanera!

Quince pictures were a first for me- so fun! We headed to downtown San Antonio for a vibrant and festive session. She will be celebrating a huge birthday this summer. She is daddy's little girl and the apple of her momma's eye for sure. Gabby is a sweet bright young girl with a brilliant and sparkly future ahead. Congratulations! xo-Haley

Baby Grayson

My friend Kahlei and I traveled to Austin, TX for a session of this happy little dude. 3 months is usually an impossible age to photograph. Luckily, Grayson was so good! He even took a long nap in a hard bowl in the yard while I was poking him around. Congratulations to April and Todd on their cute little bundle- what a whirlwind of a year! I will have more pictures of this precious little family this summer- stay tuned!

Kendra!!!!!

It was so fun to work with Kendra at the beginning of the year and again now. This school year flew by! She is always up for any of my crazy ideas, and I love that! She is attending Texas Tech in the fall- congratulations :) you better stay in touch!! xoxoxo

scary nature!

Check out these boots I am rockin'....oh yea- Wal Mart special!

We battle some pretty intense nature here in south Texas. After shooting one too many sessions in sandals I decided it was time...before I run into a snake. eek. I did find some fancy boots the other day and splurged. Pretty much what I am saying is that I look pretty cute while doin' my thing :) HA

rain rain go away!!

Cancelled --then back on... cancelled again--and the back on!!! so happy the rained stopped for a bit so I could photograph some of my favorite girls. Another example of not realizing locations that have always been right in front of me-- our company! My dad owns a furniture company (Lancaster Industries) in Cuero, Texas.... I found myself wondering around the other day waiting to take pictures of some tables and found these treasures! Old trucks and a lot of rusty ugly stuff.

"one man's trash is another man's treasure"

Congratulations to Hannah-- cheers to the future! xo

USC- here she comes!

I was so happy to be able to fit this quick head shot session into my crazy week! Mallory was fun to photograph.... we used the neighborhood for our location and the neighbors as my assistants. So so fun!

lovely bluebonnets

I loved photographing this family is the fall and am so happy the wanted a quick spring session before the beautiful flowers go away. They found the best location.... right off the road with a thick patch of bluebonnets.........and cactus. Worth it, but then again, I wasn't sitting in them. Happy Wednesday! xo

a few of my favorite things

Texas Wildflowers

Annie, Jack, Sam, & Lily

Pictures

Usually I am trying to pry personalities out of kids.... this time I was trying to do just the opposite. Sam kept giving me thumbs up, Jack was giving bunny ears, Annie was acting nutty, and Lily- they perfect baby- was crying! They were very ready to go hunt eggs-- I was thrilled with what we ended up with from out little impromptu photo-shoot. Never a dull moment ;)

Happy Happy Spring!!

Aghhhh-- I have missed this little guy! What a session- only in the country will you ever experience things like slime in the trough, fleas in the dirt, large aunt piles, cactus, very pokey flowers, and a little model who can handle it all. You had to be there to believe it! No worries- I had my trusty tall rain boots so the wilderness would not slow me down. Now that Kelton is older- he moves a lot more!!!
