Taylor's niece was my first newborn shoot in Houston over a year ago!  Taylor is graduating from High School this year so got together for a senior session.

Senior sessions are definitely a favorite.  I had so much fun talking and shooting!

Taylor told me all about her trip to Europe this summer with a group of graduates and I'm so excited for her!  What a fun way to finish off high school.

This next shot might be my favorite.  Gorgeous, yes???

Hope that case of senioritis doesn't kill you before the end of the school year!

Elisabeth is a friend of a friend and she came up with a very thoughtful gift for her parents. She decided to capture some pictures of herself for Christmas (she's an only child and what parents wouldn't love that?!?).

We headed downtown to some locations I have used before...yet discovered several new areas too!  My boyfriend came along again to second-shoot and kept an eye out for rockin' areas to shoot.  Several of the shots below are his!

The first half of these pictures were all taken within a few blocks of each other. Good job downtown Houston!

One of my favorite shots of her (below) was taken by my boyfriend!  He claims he had an excellent teacher, but I think it's mainly talent.

I went a little crazy with all the following "24" shots.  Surprisingly, we have the same favorite number! Turns out we have much more in common. Among other things, we both turned 24 this year (less than a month apart and for her it was 24 on the 24th), and we met our significant others in similar ways.  Needless to say, it was fun getting to know each other.

My BF's view:

* Any of the shots that look like I'm 6' 8" were taken with me on top of my BF's shoulders.

I've probably known Veronica since she was born...yep, pretty sure. I used to visit California every summer and play with her older siblings and I also shot her older sister's wedding a couple of years ago. I didn't know Veronica very well since she was so much younger, but we had too much fun on this shoot! We didn't have much planned besides heading into San Francisco and we discovered soooo many ridiculously cool locations. See for yourself .

I had her stop at Kara's cupcakes for her first one ever (I'm slightly obsessed). She loved it. And this is really making me want one right now!!!

Susannah and Michelle are best friends (they're the 2 featured in this shot) and after Michelle left we focused solely on Susannah! She was totally awesome and wants to be a photographer! I graduated from BYU (where Michelle is going) and Susannah is headed to BYU-I (where my twin sister actually went). Good luck to both of you!

Michelle was my first of 3 seniors a few weeks ago and I had such a great time with them!! Anyone else who wants to do a senior shoot...ever...let me know. I'm up for it .

I did a double senior shoot the other day at one of my favorite locations in Danville! (I seriously don't know how I forgot about this place). These 2 girls are best friends and both were so much fun and up for anything! More of both of them coming soon!

Here are the promised pictures of Jenna! After one of Jenna's shoots we were driving home and stopped the car to take a few pictures of each other before the light ran out and we found this awesome wall! It matched Jenna's shirt and her eyes perfectly. Unlike many photographers the two of us thoroughly enjoy having our picture taken, even if it still feels a little awkward . So much fun!

I have always wanted to do a shoot like this and it was SO MUCH FUN. Brittney and I met up in San Francisco and just drove around looking for a parking spot in a cool part of the city (by the way, on hills make sure you always park your car with the wheel facing the curb...) and then we jumped out and photographed away. She had a few different fun outfits to change into and despite the cold weather she was a trooper and looked amazing!! She even ran into the middle of the street when I asked . I can't wait to share more!

I'm holing myself up to get all of my client's pictures online and available for purchasing so I'll be absent from the blogging world for at least a few days or so! So all the sneak peaks won't really be sneak peaks anymore, but I'll catch up on blogging so the rest of you can enjoy some fun pictures!

And, before I go, here are some pictures from my most favorite maternity shoot ever with one of my most favorite girls from the photography program at BYU (there are about 4 or 5 favorites, but she definitely ranks up there among them). She lives in Washington now, so it was so much fun to get to do this shoot when I was up there for a wedding!

I give you...April and "probably boy." She's even letting me name him.

Just what is it that's kept me so busy the last few weeks?? Well, I've been doing a little of this...

this...

And a little of this. Yes, this is me. Yes, one eye is freakishly larger than the other. Thanks for noticing.

The last 2 weeks have been Cuh-RAZY! And I love every minute! Last week I wasn't planning on going anywhere for 3 weeks. I ended up flying to Napa for a wedding on Saturday, I'll be driving to Arizona tomorrow (from San Diego), and back up to the east bay on Sunday. A couple more days on the internship and then back to Utah!!!! In the last 6 weeks I've been to Mexico twice, Utah, and the SF bay 3 times. Life is good

Wanted to get this little teaser out of recent shoots, but I'll get more out soon!! Thanks for your patience!
