Wall Family | Austin Family Photographer

This is Anna's phone. On their way to our shoot it flew from the top of the car to the side of the road shattering to, well, oblivion. It hit me when I got home and looked through photos of this gorgeous family laughing, snuggling and playing that there were no signs of that phone and its stress in a single picture. It was a wonderful representation of real joy. Despite circumstances and setbacks, they didn't cease to delight in each other and their precious son with each and every moment. It's obvious how blessed they feel to have each other and easy to see why. 

Wall family, you guys are amazing. We had such a great time with y'all and I can't thank you enough for a reminder of real joy in the midst of holiday craziness. You truly blessed us and I'm, crossing my fingers that Santa brings you a new phone this year.  Merry Christmas!

I'm sure you've been on the edge of you seat waiting to see more of this fabulous couple - for real. So here is the second installment of Adam and Erin's gorgeous Maryland wedding, complete with Erin's own personalized editing style. This weekend was so much fun for us. Looking at the photos makes me warm inside (which is nice considering this bipolar winter TX weather).

I adored the giant weeping willow where the ceremony took place. 

From the point the words, you may kiss your bride were spoken, I never saw that smile leave Adam's face.

The details of this outdoor celebration were perfectly vintage/rustic - and so Erin!

I can't begin to describe how much fun the dancing was at this wedding. 

Boyds, we're so thankful to have spent such an important day with you. I'm so thankful you live close, and we get to continue to watch your lives together unfold.

My Thanksgiving Treat! | Houston Family Photographer

When I scheduled a 6:45am photoshoot the weekend of Thanksgiving, the last thing I expected was a super-fun, joyful exciting family like the Woods to greet me with smiles.

Though bundled with blankets and still applying make-up upon arrival, this group was happy to be together on that cold morning...and it was cold. That's all that was cold, though.  Warm attitudes were had all around as the sun rose over the parking garage we found. 

Steve looks at the women in his life with awe...like he's the luckiest man alive. And I think he is. Though his stunning bride, and spunky, gorgeous, super-cool daughters would likely be outspoken about their luck as well. Any girl whose daddy loves her that much is set for life.

All and all, I felt honored and thankful for my Thanksgiving treat. 

Aren't they beautiful?!

 

Amanda braved the cold temps with short sleeves while we all bundled...awe the cost looking cute. 

Watching sisters interact is one of my favorites. Rachel and Amanda reminded me of my sister and I at their age.  

 

This girl LOVES her daddy.

Julie, thanks so much for connecting with me...it was my pleasure to spend time with y'all!

When Suzanne contacted me about taking their family photos, I had no idea what a treat we were in for. What we witnessed the day of this shoot was beautiful. Watching the miracle of family can easily bring me to tears. For her parent's wedding anniversary, Suzanne and her brother scheduled a family photoshoot. As we raced to beat the coming thunderstorm these grandparents looked at each other and glowed...without an anxious bone in their bodies. At the mere mention of her family this beautiful wife, mother and grandmother's eyes welled up with tears. Seeing their kids and families together for this one time a  year was the picture of peace and perfection for them.

If watching them with their kids wasn't enough, seeing these two grandparent showed me what love looks like. It was our pleasure to capture this family that fall afternoon.

Check them out and leave them some love.

Alexis is a ham. She was so much fun to photograph!

Baby Addison will forever treasure this photo of she and her Pop.
