We were lucky enough to find a huge patch of bluebonnets that held on until our session.

Can't wait for their wedding this Saturday!

They are such a sweet couple - full of personality and joy. One of the best moments of the day was when Cody's nephews walked down the aisle with a surprise sign that said "Uncle Cody, here comes your Girl" - such a sweet moment!

So happy for you guys - congrats to Nicki & Cody!

Enjoy some of my favorites from our session!  Looking forward to their October Wedding at Old Glory Ranch!

I loved absolutely everything about this wedding - from the Toms that the wedding party wore, to the gorgeous flowers, to the handmade touches by Erin's mom - including gorgeous quilts, table runners and cocktail pillows. Every detail was lovingly chosen by the couple and expressed who they are.  And we couldn't have asked for better weather - lucky as can be!

We got to combine two things I love most - a beautiful bride and breathtaking wildflowers - heaven.

Enjoy some of my favorites and happy Friday!!

She was the perfect model and beyond adorable!  

You may remember Shannon and Chris' maternity session that I blogged here.  I loved finally getting to meet their new bundle of joy!

So obviously it was a match made in heaven. :)

We met up a few weeks ago where I got to meet their cute dog Frankie and we did an engagement session together. They were absolutely adorable and we had fun on our adventure to get to know a new park in Houston. I love to find new cool spots!

Can't wait for their wedding in September!!

Everything about this wedding was stunning - the people were loving and fun; the details were perfect and truly reflected the couple; and it was in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I can't say enough words of praise! To see two such sweet people, who love each other so much, come together in an emotional ceremony was amazing. It was truly a celebration of Ash and Holly!

Get ready for a long post...it was so hard to choose favorites - enjoy!!

One of my favorite images from Perla and Colin's wedding was a winner of the Houston @175 photo contest that celebrated Houston's 175th anniversary! I was excited and honored to be featured. The image was taken at the stunning waterwall in the Galleria area.

That maybe THIS time the flowers won't find their way back. And every year I am giddily elated by how beautiful they are when they return. There is something about spring - new beginnings, the birth of new flowers and babies...it carries such hope and happiness.

Stacey & Todd's engagement session was taken in the beautiful Discovery Green park in Downtown Houston. It is an oasis away from tall buildings and concrete streets, I love it! Check out some of my favorites...

Hope you guys had a relaxing holiday weekend. Just wanted to say hello and give a little sneak peek of what is to come. I have had so much fun with all of my spring sessions and one of my favorite things about spring is all the newborn shoots! Their little fingers and toes get me every time...so sweet and innocent. 

Here is a little sneak peek from Baby Sienna's portrait session. You may remember Shannon and Chris' maternity shoot we did earlier this year that I posted here. Now their beautiful little girl is here!

More to come soon!

If you are friends with me on Facebook, I apologize for inundating everyone with pictures of Harry, but I just can't help it! 

Well, I just wanted to say hi. I have thrown myself back into work and am getting excited about spring portraits and weddings. Below is a sneak peek of Kim & Chris' engagement session. They brought along their adorable dog Frankie - he was the perfect model!

Keep checking back, more posts coming soon!

Such a beautiful spot and an amazing couple - the night couldn't have been more special!

There will be more images to come, but I had to share a few of my favorites as a sneak peek - many more to come!
