I finally got to photograph this sweet little guy yesterday.
Cannot wait to share the rest!

A little back story – this groom-to-be’s cousin, Thu, and I grew up attending the same church. The last time I saw her, we were in high school. You can imagine my delight when I heard from her as inquired about me traveling to Houston for this shoot. A reunion AND a surprise proposal photos? I said YES and we began strategizing immediately.
Lauren thought she was traveling from Minnesota to Houston for a quick weekend visit with her boyfriend’s family and friends. She was also only partially right when she thought she would be going to the park on Friday evening for a family portrait session. Little did she know, a big surprise proposal had been in the works for some time and everyone else was in on it. You can imagine the excitement as they awaited the big moment from the sideline. Everything happened so quickly and I’m so glad I was able to capture these moments from afar.
These two are the sweetest and I have never found myself hugging clients so much during a shoot!!
Congratulations Lauren and Quy. Lauren, I know you will make one stunning bride 🙂 And thank you, Thu, for making sure this moment will be remembered forever.
Today, I thought, would be a superb day for an impromptu bluebonnet photo session. As soon as our songbirds rose from their naps, we got them dressed and quickly found ourselves parked atop the perfect patch of wildflowers.
After the third frame – oh no! – sister Big vomits all over herself, the blanket, and little z. But not before we were handed the messiest diaper in the history of le petit blow outs. {Further proving the Photographer’s Child Syndrome theory}. Great memories were made.
Cheers to a happy Monday and healthy babies! xo
I am waking up in approximately 5 hours for a shoot {JOY!}, but thought I’d check in on the blog and share a few favorites from a recent session.
We began planning this one with a series of e-mails and text messages discussing location, time/date, and weather along with general chattiness one would expect when photographing a fellow photographer and her family. {That’s right — all fun, no pressure around here.}
Several days before the scheduled date, we were advised a cold front would be coming through, and we couldn’t decide whether to reschedule or go for it. I am always prepared for unpredictable behavior with children and weather, and so I was ready to work as fast as possible!
Those dimples. Very cute or a lot of cute? I agree!

I met Hannah and Keith at a tacky Christmas sweater party two years ago and it’s a shame we haven’t had the opportunity to see each other since! They were a delight to work with and such wonderful parents to their two lovely children.
Baby Claire was the star of our session and was she ever the peaceful and easy baby to photograph?! I look forward to seeing more of this sleeping beauty in the coming months as we continue to document her tiny life.
