Leyva & Emiliano - 01.17.09

I love weddings because of beautiful people like this. Meet Leyva & Emiliano. They married in January at St. Anne's Catholic Church in Houston. The reception followed at the University of St. Thomas.

Leyva & Emiliano are beautiful inside & outside - smart, fun & kind. I love genuine people. They both have neat friends & family that seem to make their lives complete. I am happy that they are so blessed.

Wishing you two many years of bliss.







I forgot to mention Emi, their sweet little buddy. As you can imagine, he stole the show...

She left the scrubs at the office....

Meet Amanda. I usually see her with her hair down and in scrubs. Not today. Presenting a hot, saucy bride who will wed Brannon on March 28.












This amazing venue in Houston is called Paraiso Maravilla http://www.pmhouston.com/. Great place - perfect for bridal portraits. They are always adding neat details. Every time I go there, something has changed.






I love these 2 shots. They make me smile.




Last, but not least...


Isn't she amazing?

Everything about Amanda is awesome - her personality, her smile, her dress, her sweet family. I couldn't be more excited about being a part of their big day at the end of March. What an honor.

Jordan & Warren

This couldn't be a more appropriate couple to showcase for Valentine's Day. Meet Jordan & Warren - beautiful, handsome, fun & so awesome to photograph. We spent an afternoon at Hermann Park playing around. We even had the opportunity to visit and get to know each other during a couple of rain breaks.

One of Jordan & Warren's goals (besides getting some great engagement shots!), was to have a portfolio of images that will be beautifully bound to be used as a sign-in book for the wedding. Great idea!

Alice, my assistant, came along as well to document different angles. She has a fantastic eye! Our images our mixed together but many of her shots are the fun, funky angles I love.

Enjoy & let us know what you think.

So Cool

I love cool kids. You know those kids who are well-mannered, fun, have a sense of humor & totally love being photographed. We all want those kids, right? My client turned friend Amy in Corpus Christi has those prized possessions. Meet K$ (that is pronounced K money) & the O girl. I love photographing these guys.



I have had the awesome opportunity to watch these 2 grow up. I think I photographed them for the first time when they were 6 months old. Too crazy. Now look at these kindergarteners. They are just too cool for school!



My O Girl is a blast to photograph. Beautiful and really full of life. Check her out. Loving the sweet, yet subtle attitude. Quite impressive. This past October, O taught my daughter how to pose for pictures. When I want Hadley to turn it on for me, I remind her of O's photo magic looks.





For the past 4 years, I have had the opportunity to photograph as many as 18 families in Corpus Christi over a weekend in October. It is a neat experience every year. Sure love doing it.

Paris Love

I had the awesome opportunity to fly to Paris this weekend and take these amazing shots for Ashley & Casey. Remember them?

Such an amazing place. So much love in the air.



Have you figured out that I only "wish" I had spent the weekend in Paris and beyond daydreaming won't be in Paris for a while. Ashley & Casey's traveling buddy took these shots per my request while there. When Ashley told me they were going to Europe over the Christmas break, I told her she had to have someone take shots in front of the Eiffel Tower for their Save the Date cards. After a little PhotoShop magic, a few snapshots have become beautiful art. Thanks for sharing your pictures with me, Ashley. So fun to live through others!

Can you tell I am in the mood for summer?

Check out these 3 hotties! So happy I am married to one of them.
