welcome. Thanks for stopping by!  This is my brand-new, totally amazing blog.  I am pumped to be able to share my voice and my photography with the whole wide world.  My name is Julie Wilhite and I am a portrait/wedding photographer based out of Houston, TX.  That's right, I'm a Texan...and I promise I don't ride a horse to work everyday.  Feel free to take a look around, maybe even drop me a note.  Would love to hear from you!

I don't know if anyone else feels the way I do, but every time I turn around there is a baby...or a new friend telling me they are pregnant.  What is in the water people?!

I've been having such a wonderful, long weekend so far.  Yesterday, I was soooo excited to hang out with my good friend April.  She lives in Dallas now, so I am not able to see her as much as I would like.  And this time she got to show me that, you guessed it, she is pregnant!  She is actually seven months along and we are excitedly planning a full-fledged maternity shoot next month, so stay tuned!  Until then, I wanted to share a pic that I quickly snapped.  Having a growing life inside you is pretty amazing...

This weekend, I had the immense pleasure of being a part of Nelda and Marvin's wedding on Sunday, June 28th.  I have been so excited to shoot their wedding since the day they booked me.  They are both so laid back, had it all together, and are just so in love.  Marvin loves Nelda so much...he wanted to take care of everything and wouldn't let Nelda worry about anything the day of the wedding.  He wanted her to just relax and worry about getting ready and looking beautiful.  This was NOT a problem for Nelda.

I'm so excited to work on their images, but I wanted to share one of my initial favorites.  We found a perfect tree after the ceremony and they were both such troopers.  They never ONCE complained about the 100+ temperatures!!

Nelda and Marvin - you guys ROCK!  Congrats!!

Sigh...so many wonderful things to say about Nirmeen & Aly. I loved hanging out with them in the park and I loved working on their images. They just make me smile. I couldn't help but post a million pictures from their session, I couldn't choose between them! Can't wait until their July wedding. Enjoy!!

It drives my loved ones crazy sometimes.  I see something like a flower or a nicely shaded spot and I freeze.  "Quick!" I say..."Photoshoot!"  Of course, I am met with groans and this better be quick comments, but I just can't help it!!

My cousin Ann was in town this past weekend, which always makes my weekends instantly fun and exciting, and we had just eaten at our favorite brunch spot, Baby Barnabys.  We were walking back to our cars and I saw a pink flower.  It instantly caught my attention.  My cousin had just bought new Ray Bans too and I had been strangely drawn to them all weekend.  They were calling me to do a photoshoot.  :)  These images made me laugh so hard that I just had to share.  I will admit we are a little strange, but how CUTE are they?  Love!

Here is to my favorite people:  Cousin Ann and My Wonderful Husband Chris

This weekend was fantastic.  No only did I get to spend the weekend with both my Dad and Chris' Dad (Happy Father's Day!!), but I had so much fun shooting a super cute couple in Discovery Green

Aly and Nirmeen are amazing.  Nirmeen's warm and welcoming smile and Aly's true love for Nirmeen...I have been excited to shoot their wedding festivities since the day we met! 

Discovery Green is an especially meaningful place to the two of them because under one of its outstretched trees, Aly got down on one knee and asked Nirmeen to marry him.  Their beaming smiles upon our arrival to the park showed how much it meant to them to revisit this gorgeous park and for me to be able to shoot some fun, relaxed images of just the two of them.  It wasn't hard to get a good shot - Nirmeen is drop dead gorgeous and one smile from Nirmeen and Aly was smiling back.  There are so many good pictures to choose from!

Since I know they are DYING to see some of the shots, I thought I would share a sneak peek of our time together.  It was really hard to choose just one, but this one called to me.  It just feels like I was sneaking through the flowers (not far from the truth) and came upon a magical moment.  As a photographer, I strive to capture the magic and the power of love and the bringing together of two souls...I thought this image portrayed that!
