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!

Bookings and Many Thanks

I wanted to thank everyone for such a great year, thus far! I have been super busy and it's because of the amazing referrals from all of my loyal customers! A HUGE thanks! And it's because of all of you, and your understanding, that I am able to work from home, spend quality time with my son, and provide an additional income for my family. For that, I am truly grateful.

At this point, I am no longer booking for December. Those that have contacted and booked as of today, are on the schedule. All other bookings will be scheduled for January.

I am taking this time to spend and ENJOY my family, husband, and baby boy during the Christmas Holiday! I want to decorate my house, shop, bake, sing Christmas carols, travel to see family, etc!! Thank you in advance for your understanding, and I can't wait to see you all in January!!

Giovanna's Quincenetta Portraits

Giovanna is a gorgeous girl! She is having her Quincenetta on December 26th in Mexico! Her family is from Monterrey so it makes sense to have the party with the whole family! And check out her Converse shoes--she had bought them when she got her dress and we thought they were too cute!! Here are some of my favs from our session at the Houston Garden Center in Midtown:

Fudickar Family

Meet the Fudickars/Scarboroughs/Christophersons....and everyone in between! This is what happens when families grow up and get married and others join the group--the names get all mixed together!! Ha!! I shot Kelli and Cory's engagements a few months back, and now that the two oldest boys are going overseas for duty in about a month, they thought it was time for a family portrait with the whole gang! They were the nicest family--sometimes when you get that many people together to get their pictures taken, everyone gets tired and a little crabby near the end, but not them! The margaritas were flowing and the so was the laughter!! We got shots in between the game on TV, chit chatted with the ladies in the kitchen, and even did a few clothing changes--all without anyone complaining (at least not while I was there to hear!) I tried to make it very relaxed, and I think we got some great, casual shots! Here are my favs...
