Gordon & Katrina engaged!

2 Comments

Katrina and Gordon are a super fun couple I know from church and their engagement session was the generous wedding gift from two other friends! One of those friends came along and second-shot. Some of these locations we just randomly found as we were driving around.

It rained/misted on us intermittently the entire time and everyone took it in good stride! We hardly even used the umbrellas (though we were protecting the cameras like mad) and Katrina and Gordon both looked amazing throughout :).

Want to know how I managed this next shot with my short self?? Keep scrolling.

Me, in all my wet, cold, trying-to-protect-myself-from-the-wind-and-rain glory.

I got that above shot the same way I got this one…

All I needed was one awesome boyfriend. It was his idea. He’s a genius.

This was almost as fun as the double date we went with these two to a sketchy mini golf place a few weeks ago :). Congratulations!

Houston Winter Wonderland

It’s not a hurricane… It’s SNOW?!! This will be my first Winter in Houston, TX. It looks like I won’t be able to escape the snow no matter where I live. 🙂

Typically, Houston will get a bit of snow every 4 – 6 years during the Winter. There have been estimates that some areas of Houston will see 4-5″ today. Snowball fight anyone? :).

This is the earliest snow in Houston since 1889. Measurable snow has NEVER been seen in back-to-back winters. We’re breaking records here, people!

This was my first real shoot in Houston and this gorgeous couple is now getting married this week! I was already booked up for their wedding date, but I’m soooo glad I got to do their engagements. We found so many awesome locations, some really close to where I live.

Aren’t they stunning?? I get the best clients.













My boyfriend came along to shoot with me and he did such an amazing job!! Especially since I didn’t really do a good job of instructing him beforehand (oops). He took the shot below and I’m so proud of him! My favorite part is the bottom right corner ;).




Thanks so much Dustin and Crystal! I can’t wait to hang out after you’re an old married couple :).

Who’s up for a shoot in Houston?? I never knew how much I would love this city, but I do. So far. My BYU photographer friend Whitney who’s in town for a few months wanted to go on a walk along the Buffalo Bayou trail (I think that’s what it’s called) from her apt to downtown so I took my camera along. After about 30 minutes I seriously regretted it, but once we got to the rockin’ parts I was SO happy. These are all taken with my brand spankin’ new Canon 5D Mark II (which I’m in-love with) and the Canon 50 mm 1.2.

These were all either IN downtown or really close to downtown under the overpasses. I LOVE those overpasses.

Please forgive us for being in running clothes with no make-up or showers, but I didn’t expect to love these pictures enough to blog them!
