east texas wedding photographer | a peek into my life

We look at the things in our homes a hundred times everyday. We pass the grandfather clock every night with sleeping babies in our arms. We reach over the colorful glass jars to get our coffee out of the cupboard every morning. It seems that the older I get, the less I care about how everything looks in my home and more about how it makes me feel. How it brings back memories and love and laughter from people who live so very far away from me. This house in Texas has finally become a home after so many months of tweaking. Here is a little invitation to peek into my world where I kiss my baby goodnight, hug my husband as he walks through that door and stay up late editing photos at a little Ikea desk that make me so very happy. 

It's amazing how little owl figurines could put a smile on my face every time I walk past these cool little dudes. 

east texas maternity photographer | beautiful brittany

Brittany and I met a few days before Levi was born on New Years Eve of this year. I was big and I mean BIG pregnant with Levi. Then there was Brittany. She was happy, always laughing and so full of life. Levi was born, life went on and then a few months later Brittany contacted me with the happiest of news.. she was pregnant! 

I am so blessed that I have been there almost every step of the way for Brittany's pregnancy. I was blessed enough to capture her awesome expression at her gender reveal party! Now I capture her maternity and love for the little girl that she has not met yet. In another few short months I will get to meet that little baby. I couldn't be more excited! 

east texas maternity photographer | baby tatum is on her way

Oh baby! I spent the other night doing a maternity session in deep east Texas with Kristyn and baby Tatum just as the sun was going down. Kristyn looked beautiful in a casual way with a simple summer dress and cowgirl boots on. She was radiant. Whenever I asked her about baby Tatum she glowed telling me about her excitement. Pregnancy looks good on this girl. 

Baby Tatum, I cannot wait to take your pretty picture when you come into this world!!!

houston wedding photographer | raquel and joel get married

Raquel and Joel are a wholesome couple with totally fab style. Guys dressed in gray threads and girls donning Michael Kors shoes with accents of lemon yellow; this wedding was well planned. The reception took place in the beautiful Gallery of upper west Houston and nothing could not have suited this classy duo better. 

After a captivating ceremony full of emotion and commitment we entered the gorgeous reception venue. It was no wonder that the venue smelled of fresh cut, yellow roses because the amazing florist Secret Floral Garden custom designed lavish centerpieces full of character and individuality. Then there was the food, oh the food. I am a sucker for a good meal and good can barely be used to describe this gourmet treat. Behind the Bash caterers did a fantastic job preparing the food and making sure that everything was hot and delicious for the guests. By the end of the night I stole a piece of cake and let me tell you, Designer's Cakes made that dessert taste just a scrumptious as it looked. My mouth is watering just thinking about that five tiered goody. 

Raquel and Joel, you two have style and grace and nothing but good taste. I pray that your classic romance continues through the years with the bond of the good Lord holding y'all together. You two are fun and fantastic.
