Cassaundra and Michael











Cassaundra and Michael are getting married in September and I have a feeling their wedding is going to be very beautiful and she is going to be a beautiful bride! I'm really excited to photograph their wedding and get some gorgeous photos of the bride as well and the groom. Aren't they are gorgeous couple?

We photographed at Hermann Park, which was my first time there since I am new to the Houston area. It reminded me of parks in Europe so I was living in fantasy land with the benches next to the ponds and the tree lined walkways.

These are a few of my favorites and it is always hard to choose. I didn't fuss around with the color much because I just liked the way it was naturally and I love the trees! For me it is more important to photograph relationship rather than fashion or grunge. I realize that is it cool to photograph in alley ways and I do love those photos as well but I don't like photos next to dumpsters or garbage cans. I think photographers have gone too far with the grunge look when they are having couples sit next to dumpsters looking cool and the couple isn't even looking at each other. What is that saying about the beginning of this new relationship? Anyhow, whether you agree with me or not it is just my opinion and I realize fashion and style have nothing to do with relationship sometimes.

Stella's little ones again at 2 months!

It's too hard to choose the best kid photos because they are all cute!









Tamara and Brian at Texas A&M in College Park, TX

This was a fun engagement session at Texas A&M and I discovered all kinds of fun information about the Texas tradition of college like the 12th man-I'm impressed! We visited some of the prime spots on the campus like the Century Tree and the bottle cap alley where many a student has stumbled down. Brian and Tamara met at school of course and it was a pleasure to get to know them and their school.

Baby and family portrait session favorites

One of Steve's coworkers had me come over and photograph her family and here are a few of my favorites! I'm not an expert at family portraits and it's a big learning for me each time...photographing young kids is really a talent. I admire photographers that are really successful at it.
