Amanda & Daniel: Austin Family Photography

Amanda and Daniel’s incredibly lovely Grandmother contacted me to photograph these kids. I photograph a lot of little people, but rarely get the opportunity to shoot big kids. It’s so fun! Mostly because they do what I say, but also because kids this age have so many cool things to tell you. It’s a great age and parents – photograph ‘em now!

Thanks for being so great you guys!

Elise + David: Austin Wedding Photography

David & Elise!!

This was such a fun wedding. The reception was so rollicking that I almost ditched my camera to join in. People from New Orleans are fun, y’all.

Elise is also one of the most animated people (and probably the most animated bride) that I have ever met. Adorable. I hadn’t met David prior to the wedding day but he did not disappoint. He is a joy. These two have such a lovely, easy way with one another. It’s like they’ve been together forever and it was a treat for me to spend the day with them and their guests.

Thanks to my always fabulous second shooter Tali and thanks to David & Elise! You are going to have such a wonderful life together!

The ceremony was held at St. Ignatious south of town. It was a really beautiful ceremony.

This is why I must shoot weddings in New Orleans someday or just more weddings of New Orleans-ians. The Second Line dance! What a way to get the party started! Umbrellas! Handkerchiefs! A big dance line all around the room!

Heather + Maurice: Austin Wedding Photography

Heather & Maurice were married in an elegant and thoughtful ceremony on a blustery, rainy day at the lovely Villa Antonia. Although the rain changed the plans a little, this wedding was still full of emotion, beauty and family. It was probably one of the most memorable vow exchanges I’ve witnessed. I have learned to not say “Oh, it’s good luck” when a wedding gets moved due to rain, because, as one of my oldest and dearest friends (whose own wedding went to Plan B due to rain) says, “It should be Texas law to punch someone in the face who tells you ‘It’s good luck’”. I think you will see though, that the beauty of this wedding was obvious.

I love the moody quality a cloudy day can lend and I was happy I got to spend the day with Heather, Maurice and their friends and family.

I also have to give a big fat shout out to Dave McLaughlin, who second shot this wedding with me. If you don’t know Dave, you should.

Here are the details, which were amazing as evidenced by my first ever 16 image collage!

Ashley + Nathan : Austin Day After Portrait Session

OK, so maybe a little more than the day after, but who’s counting right?

Ashley, Nathan & I tromped around at the Mansfield Dam and made some pretty pictures! This was so fun – I wish everyone wanted to do this type of session. See? You don’t have to ruin your dress.

They also had some very fun ideas that we were able to incorporate so thanks for the fun afternoon guys!

Heather + Maurice: Austin Engagement Photography

Heather + Maurice! This is a part one of two post as I shot Heather & Maurice’s engagement pictures just a week before their wedding! So…wedding photos coming soon too. But let’s get to know them in a casual setting shall we?

I loved their clothing choices. Casual, with bright and punchy colors and Heather has some of the cutest hair ever! I love it! We trucked around the Eastside neighborhood, which I love more every day and found some new spots to shoot.

Thanks you two and enjoy!

Our studio neighbor, the Lance Armstrong Foundation got “Flocked”. This is when someone puts about 150 pink flamingos in your front yard, with love of course. I enjoyed shooting with these guys.

Ashley + Zac: Austin Engagement Photography

 You might guess by looking at these photos that Ashley & Zack are the happiest people in the world – and you might just be right. There are no photos from their engagement session that have them looking anything but smitten and happy. I sat at my computer and smiled while editing these. I hope you find yourself just as smiley.

Thanks for a super fun evening you two! See you soon!
