I know I’m a day late, but better late than never, right?? And a super special Happy Father’s Day to the newest father in my family, here with his 7-day-old little monkey.
Robyn and Kevin…on the beach
I got to go all the way to San Diego for Robyn and Kevin’s wedding! I really love Southern California and they took me to an awesome beach for some pictures and a first look the evening before the wedding. It was super super overcast and we lost the light pretty quickly, but we got a lot of awesome shots in!
This is Houston
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!
Claire Nicole
Is the name of this little beauty…






In the first picture she’s only about an hour old and the rest she’s 24 hours old. If you’ve called or emailed me without a response, this is the reason why. With labor starting on Thursday, but no baby until Saturday night (and only about 5 hours of sleep for me), plus a wedding 2 hours away (and barely making it back in time for the baby’s birth), I’ve been a little distracted :).
She’s the lovely product of my identical twin sister and her husband and I nearly cried when they told me her full name. Those are quite the cheeks, eh? 10 lbs 3 oz of adorable baby chub to love. She doesn’t even fit into the newborn clothes we have for her :). I’m sitting here in the hospital on a tiny little love seat to sleep on and I’m so so glad to be here. Welcome little girl!! You are so loved.
Brittney and Brett!
Brittney was my roommate my last semester/year at BYU (I continued bumming on the couch sporadically after I came back from Africa) and she’s the first from our apt to get married :). I got all the texts throughout the beginning of their relationship about first dates, holding hands, and first kisses. So fun to finally get to meet the guy! Congratulations! Can’t wait for the wedding!
