Heather + Stephen {austin wedding photography}

June 8, 2009 – 6:30 pm

You’ve probably seen Heather and Stephen on my blog before when we did their super fun engagement session a few months ago. Since the wedding was early in the year and we ran out of day light- this cute couple opted for a post wedding photo session. That’s a really good way of getting relaxed fun shots and not worry about it on the big day- I highly recommend this if you are not into seeing each other before the ceremony.

Oh- and ladies you don’t have to “trash your dress” to get shots like these! I promise, Heather’s dress stayed clean! : )

We met at a cool spot rather late in the day and went to work…well, I can’t call it work exactly because it was sooo fun!

Here are just a few of my favorites. Thank you guys for letting me shoot you once more!

Andrea + Brian {austin maternity photography}

June 3, 2009 – 5:11 pm

ok- time to post some more maternity photos! This time I was behind the camera!
Meet the absolutely stunning mama-to-be Andrea and the super excited dad-to-be, Brian. These guys called me up and they said they wanted something a little different for their maternity photos. Well- as it turns out we are cut from the same cloth since our ideas just worked out together so well.

I had so much fun working with amazing couple. I’ll tell you a little secret- the little baby will be here any day now and I just can’t wait to hear the good news.
Congrats guys and thank you for a great session.

Sherry : )

Behind the scenes!

May 23, 2009 – 12:02 pm

I thought today was a good day to take a moment and post a couple of behind the scenes photos! Lately, I have been taking an entourage with me to weddings! It’s getting a little more difficult to carry my equipment so my girl Leslie has been helping out.
It’s so awesome! I get to concentrate on shooting and am not getting nearly as tired as I would be if I had to carry all my stuff around.

Here are a couple of photos we got of eachother at Carolyn and Jim’s wedding. Love how James and Leslie did the same exact thing at the same time! haha!

Laura {austin wedding photography}

May 3, 2009 – 4:58 pm

Laura is now a Mrs and on her way to her honeymoon!

She and Mark got married last night and had a great party at the Four Seasons. We had so much fun at the wedding and I can’t wait to start working on their photos.
Now that they are married, I get to show off a few from Laura’s bridal session. Does she not look amazing?

I shot this fun session at Vista West Ranch. What a cool place! If you’re looking for a laid back, beautiful setting for your wedding or a bridal session you really should check this place out!
Kudos to Petal Pushers for the awesome flowers and Amanda Pye for the great job on the makeup.

I just love Laura’s dress! It has this wrap that she had around her shoulders for the church and then the wrap goes around her waist to turn the dress into party mode!

That’s just cool! Love those boots!

This is how the back of Laura’s dress looked like once the warp was tied around her waist. So cute!

Hello blue eyes!

As the sun was setting, we found an awesome patch of dried grass and perfect light! Looooove it!

Laura ordered a canvas gallery wrap for her bridal photo. I am so excited that she did. The canvas gallery wrap turns your favourit photo to instant art! They are not only easy to display but the texture of canvas gives photos a little something extra. The fact that she picked out one of my ultimate favorite photos for her canvas, was just awesome! What can I say, the girl got good taste! hehe!

Check it out!

Thank you guys for a great evening- have fun on your honeymoon! : )

Heather + Josh {austin engagement photography}

May 1, 2009 – 5:59 pm

Heather and Josh are such a fun couple! The very first time I met them, I knew I was going to enjoy working with them. They both had so many fun ideas for their photos and they are literary up for anything! Apart from that, these two have great style and are so cute together- which makes the perfect combination for engagement photos.
I loved how they could be super goofy and funny one minute and totally hot and cool the next!

We went to the Cathedral of Junk (Heather’s idea) for some photos and ended up in east Austin for some more urban stuff.

I can’t wait to shoot their wedding this fall! Thank you guys for a fun afternoon! : )

Can you spot them?

Seriously? Josh can jump really high!

Josh has this really cool vintage bike that they brought along for some photos. I love that!

Then on to East Austin! Don’t you just love Heather’s dress? So cute!

The colors worked so well! I am in love with their outfits!

Now that’s a smoking couple! : )

Courtney [senior 09]

April 18, 2009 – 11:43 am

Sometimes you get the opportunity to photograph someone who has so much spunk, presence and attitude- all you have to do is to point your camera, focus and press the trigger!
That’s how my shoot with Courtney turned out to be! The first thing I noticed about this awesome girl was her eyes- you’re seriously kidding me right? wow!
Once I started talking to Courtney about her Plans after HS- it turned out that she is not only incredibly sweet and nice but she is super smart and is about to embark on a very challenging and amazing journey. Good luck in Miami! : )

Then we start the shoot! I could not believe how comfortable this girl was in front of the camera!
Courtney- can I have about 3 ounces of that? haha!
I tell you- I have so many favorites I had such a hard time picking- but these are my very very favorite shots of the day.

I have to give a shout-out to Courtney’s dad who came along and helped me with this shoot- Thank you!
