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.

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

Gordon & Katrina engaged!

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!

I think. This was my first chance to photograph baby girl and she did a fabulous job modeling for me :). Her big brother loves her so much and was so sweet with her!

One last shot of the big brother!

It was great to see you all again!

Brit+Bran Engaged!

These two, I pretty much love them. I met Brit a year ago when we did a shoot of just her, which was also just a few weeks before she got engaged…in Paris…to an incredible guy. Yep, pretty much my dream. They came up to San Francisco from LA to do an engagement session and I don’t think it could have been more fun! We found amazing new spots even in locations I’ve shot in tons of times and they were totally up for anything. We got so many awesome shots that you’ll definitely be seeing more of these two soon :).

Be excited. The awesomeness has just begun.
