Savanna and Mike

Savanna and I are friends from church and we’ve been talking about this shoot for a while.  She actually won my shoot during a charity auction, so this was a win-win-win!  They are such a gorgeous couple and I was so excited that she won it!

Can you see how striking his BLUE eyes are?!  They’re incredible.

We did these last since the ground was wet and they walked away with damp pants!  Many of the bluebonnets around Houston have been mowed, but we were able to find this little spot in the middle of a busy road.   I think this last one is my favorite :).

They’re getting married in Canada this summer; wish I could be there!

E in Pettiskirts

I rarely get to photograph babies around this age (I’d love to have more though ;)) and E was so much fun.  I was so excited to have a little model for the new pettiskirts that I bought!  We picked out both shirts right before the shoot and they just match so perfectly.  E just turned one a couple of months ago, so happy belated birthday!

E was a little freaked out right here sitting in this basket, but I won her over with a hand-puppet.

Can you see the tear?  E let us know she was done being the model, but I was able to sneak a few more in before we headed home!

A and C’s engagements

I always love shooting at new locations and A & C were so good to me!

There was something new around every corner.

I couldn’t stop telling her how amazing this color looked on her, don’t you agree?!

It was my first time shooting the Houston skyline.  What a great spot!

That One’s Birth

Many of you know one of my favorite friends, Jenna (aka That Wife, aka Mrs. Avocado).  I still remember the day last year (on August 5, btw) when I got a gchat message saying “I just got a positive pregnancy test” from someone in mild shock, I believe.  I worked very hard to keep my schedule mostly free in the middle of April and we both prayed that I would be able to make it.  I did!  Jenna was having several signs of labor so I drove up Sunday morning.  For anyone interested in hearing the whole story and seeing more pictures, I’m sure Jenna will be posting it on her blog in the coming weeks (or months, you know how newborns are).

For now, here are just a few.

And then,

He was here.

And he was beautiful.
