I cannot believe it has taken me months to finally get around to sharing Lani + Adam's engagement session on the blog because it was probably one of my favorites from 2020. It was one of those days that we thought was going to be too hot, but the humidity in the air gave the light this soft, hazy quality. Lani's just beautiful with her flawless skin and mermaid hair, and she picked the 3 most ... Read the Post

Rebekah + Shakar’s Engagement Session in Downtown Houston
Rebekah and Shakar met September 2018 on eHarmony. Rebekah had used the service on and off for a few years, but never liked anyone enough to meet them in person. But there was something about Shakar. Rebekah was the first person he connected with, and after talking online for awhile they set up a date to meet for coffee. Coffee turned into dinner, and that date lasted 3 hours. "After our ...

Downtown Rooftop + Eleanor Tinsley Park Engagement Session
Driving to the downtown spot to meet Katerina and Eric for their engagement session, I was almost certain we would get rained out. The sky surrounding Houston became blacker and blacker the further I drove into the city. I don't know how we managed to escape getting drenched, but we did. And I love the soft, buttery light from the overcast sky. Seriously, these two look like models in a ... Read the Post
Ashley + Carl’s Engagement Session at Eleanor Tinsley Park
I had such a great time photographing Ashley and Carl with their daughter Lily at Eleanor Tinsley Park ealier this month. My newest mentee, and aspiring photographer Jacquelyne, tagged along to learn. So we had an entourage. As you probably know, not ALL kids arrive to a photo shoot with their happy hats on. Lily just needed a little coaxing to get into a better mood for our session. But all ... Read the Post
Leah + Alex (+Puppies!) Engagement at Eleanor Tinsley Park
So many of our couples ask if they can bring their dogs along to their engagement session and I always say "ABSOLUTELY!!!" Dogs make everything better, especially when they're as adorable as these pups! How cute are their little bandannas? I had so much fun hanging out with Leah and Alex, walking around Eleanor Tinsley Park and getting to know them. The flowers and trees were just starting to ... Read the Post

I'll use the term engagements, because ... Read the Post
Sarah + Josh’s Engagement
Sarah and Josh are not what you'd expect of high-powered lawyers. Far from stuffy or cookie-cutter, they giggled and laughed for most of their session. They are super fun to hang out with, and it's easy to tell that Sarah has a bit of spunk! I'm excited to photograph their wedding next month! " Thinking of you keeps me awake. Dreaming of you keeps me asleep. Being with you keeps me alive." ... Read the Post
Amanda + Stone’s Engagement
You know, living in Georgia, I thought I knew what hot was. I thought I had a firm grasp on the concept of humidity. Of course, there was also a time when I thought Backstreet Boys made quality music. So, I guess we all make mistakes. There is nothing like summer in Texas and I don't mean that in a good way. It's not so much the heat that gets you, its the humidity. You're never ... Read the Post
Kristen + Blaine’s Engagement
Kristen has a special place in my heart. In addition to really valuing her wedding photography she's just the sweetest person you'll ever meet, but not in a cookie cutter way- in a cool way. She's the kind of girl who, if you saw her at a local pub or shopping mall, you'd think she probably travels the world, has a huge following on Instagram and owns her own yoga studio or something. She doesn't, ... Read the Post
