Austin Public Library – [Brian + Laura]

I booked a mentor session with the awesome Beth while I was in Austin in September. It was pouring rain off and on all day with lots of Thunderstorms in the warning (she even drove through one so bad on her way to meet me that it ripped off her windshield wiper!)

If you’ve been with my blog since the beginning these two may look familiar – I photographed their wedding back in 2007! They were so kind to leave their two kiddos at home and come model for us during the mentor session. I picked the library because it had some covered spaces but it ended up dry during our shoot time (although WARM and MUGGY) so we went outside!

Oceanside Pier Engagement – |Andrea + David|

I’m pretty sure I’ve never sweated as much at a beach engagement session as I did on this one! It was hot, crowded and muggy but these two didn’t complain once! We had so much fun despite the weather and I love the golden light we got under the pier! These two rocked their session and I cannot wait for their wedding next year!

Wedgewood Menifee Lakes Wedding – |Eron + Brooke|

|Brooke + Eron|

This lovely family was referred to me from my bff, Jen with Day of Love !  They are seriously the sweetest family! Brooke’s parents live near me and I run in to them often! Plus they are my go to amazing tire shop 😉

Brooke and Eron have the cutest twins who were such a joy all day! We had the most perfect golden light all day. This was my first time shooting at Wedgewood in Menifee Lakes and it was a great hidden gem! Beautiful cake and cupcakes by Frosting Fanatic

USD Engagement Session – |Cayce + Mike|

One of my besties is getting married and I couldn’t be more thrilled for her! This was my first chance to get to know Mike and he was such a fun guy! And he undeniably loves Cayce so much. Which of course warms my heart! We had a blast walking all over the USD campus and hunting for the perfect spot!
