Happy Birthday, Jesus

So my mom started this new family tradition. On Christmas morning, we decorate a birthday cake for Jesus. After a little while, I noticed Mattie had left to go off and play on her cousin's guitar. This is what I found her doing...

Karyn's Senior Portraits

Have you ever done a portrait session out in the cold? And the wind? And possible rain? Well, none of those things happened during Karyn's senior portrait session, thank goodness! It was a perfect day for pictures, and Karyn was absolutely fantastic. I couldn't have asked for a better day or a better subject. Thanks Karyn, you are awesome!

Prayer request...

Some good friends of ours just recently experienced a tragic loss earlier this week. The Peterson family lost Rob's father in a very unexpected death which they're still trying to determine the cause. Walter Peterson left behind grandson's Will and Walt, who are still coping with this situation. My family and I have been praying hard for the Peterson's while they go through this extremely trying experience. I've learned how powerful blog's can be when it comes to the power of prayer. So I'm asking everyone who reads this to just take a few moments to send thoughts of love and comfort out to the Peterson family. We love you guys very much and are keeping you in our hearts.

Lauren and AJ Wedding

I swear I have the best job in the world. Being a part of such a wonderful event like Lauren and AJ's wedding today was such an uplifting experience! Every smile was genuine, every person was kind, and every heart was warm today as Lauren and AJ made their vows in front of us all. Their beautiful wedding took place at Riverbend Chapel, then we made our way downtown to the swanky Stephen F. Austin Intercontinental Hotel. Lauren's gorgeous dress was provided by Serendipity Bridal and the gorgeous and colorful flowers were created by Westbank Flowers. Lauren's fabulous makeup was provided by the amazing Maris Malone Calderon. The entire day went so smoothly due to the wonderful wedding coordinator Jenn Goodner from Your Very Own Fairygodmother. AJ and Lauren, I wish you both the very best, and congratulations!

The Wedding of Nathan and Suzette

This weekend was a blast, and Nathan and Suzette were the perfect couple to spend it with! When Nathan called to book me from Chicago, I had no idea how great it was going to be to work with these two wonderful people. There wedding ceremony was held at the beautiful St. Mary's Cathedral in downtown Austin. Afterwards, we made our way out into the beautiful Texas Hill Country for there reception at the lovely Memory Lane event facility. Thank you Suzette and Nathan for letting me be a part of your wonderful wedding day, I love you both!!

Enya's Senior Portraits

If you read my last post, you know I spend waaaaay too much time on Facebook! A lot of my senior portrait clients are on there, and I always post their photos and videos on there. So much, in fact, that I've completely forgotten to post them here too! Anyway, Enya, you did an amazing job yesterday!!!

Nathan and Suzette

Nathan and Suzette called me from Chicago a while back asking me to capture their wedding here in Austin. This was the first day I actually got to meet them in person, and we hit it off instantly! They're both art directors, and had so many ideas for a very Austin-ney photo shoot. Love you guys, can't wait till Saturday!
