Robyn Maternity

Robyn and I went to Sam Houston State together, and are sisters in Alpha Delta Pi! I saw her at our friend Lindsey's wedding and she asked me about pregger pics--and this weekend we got to meet up and spend some time shooting that pretty belly of hers!! Inside is Miss Abilene James (Baby Abbie). Robyn and her hubby, Jimbo, lived in Abilene, Kansas for about a year, not far from where I grew up! I think it's such a cute name!! Robyn and I hit Kemah, the studio, and a weed field that I thought was gorgeous! Here are some of my favs...but check out the online viewing for the rest because there were sooo many good ones!

Hanegan Family

Adam and Wade were Big Bro/Lil Bro in their frat, Delta Tau Delta. They were roommates for 2 years. They were/are in each other's weddings. Wade was the first person, other than family, to hold and meet Jackson in the hospital. And finally, after lots of talking about it, I finally had a chance to photograph Wade's entire family at their lake house at Sam Raburn! It was great! Right after Thanksgiving, we headed up to Brookeland, Texas to meet up with the entire Hanegan gang! Robert, Diane, Wade, Katie, and Valerie...and then the two (soon to be) family members, Lauren and Jordan! Unfortunately, it was COLD COLD COLD and RAINED the entire time we were there....uhhg. But I think we got some great shots anyway! After making the entire family go outside in the cold and drizzling weather, teeth chattering, we got a few shots on their amazing patio. Then, it was time for relaxing and eating and playing with Jackson! Their log cabin home in amazing--cement floors, a giant cedar wood staircase, tons of room--and pretty much baby proof (other than the stairs) Although it rained, we had a great 2 days with them. We ate catfish and hush puppies, watched KU get beat, and chit chatted about all the up coming nuptials (which I get to photograph!! Yeah!) They are the nicest family! Thanks for the mini-getaway! It was great while it lasted!!

Joan + Andrew Wedding

I was referred to Joan by a good friend of mine, Ms. Delee D'Arcy. And I am ever thankful. This was one of the BEST weddings I have shot! The love, the family, the venue, the flowers, the MUSIC, and all in just 3 short hours. Joan and Andrew "found each other later in life" as they said in their vows, but you wouldn't know it. You know when you can just look at people and KNOW they are soul mates? That's them! They are like little kids together--laughing and giggling and smiling (even in their eyes) They couldn't stop staring at each other, all day. And before the ceremony, they were both a BALL a NERVES, but the second they saw each other at the bottom of the stairs, before they walked down the aisle TOGETHER, you could just tell they were in a "bubble" (as I describe the feeling to my brides) Nothing else mattered but the two of them. I had only just met them, and I cried during their vows. EVERYONE in the room was mesmorized by them. Joan wore an amazing, yet simple, Ann Taylor gown with a gorgeous pale pink jacket over top--very Jackie O. And like I said, we got everything done, smoothly, in only 3 hours. Unbelievable! Miss Sara, at Sara's Inn is amazing and great at her job as wedding coordinator! Highly recommend her! And the DJ, Oskar with Overtime Productions kept the dancing going!! So much fun! I truly wish these two the best and HOPE to meet up with them again!
