Sweet Scarlett’s two-year-old portraits are hopefully an accurate portrayal of what her second-year of life will hold — lots of giggles, running around  and some downright fierce fashion sense (courtesy of momma).

Happy second year of life, Scarlett!

This December I had the pleasure of going to New Braunfels to photograph Quinn’s senior portraits around the town. I could tell from our initial e-mail interactions that I was going to love working with this girl, but when I finally got to meet vivacious, bursts-of-laughter, gorgeous, suh-WEET-as-can-be Quinn in person and heard her plans for the session locations there was no doubt that this was going to undoubtedly be one of my favorite senior sessions to date.

It wouldn’t be a proper New Braunfels photo shoot without the river making an appearance.

Next up was downtown New Braunfels.

As much as I loved shooting at the river and in downtown New Braunfels, I think my favorite part of the session was when we headed out to the farm Quinn’s family lived on when they first moved to New Braunfels. Just from talking to Quinn and her parents I could tell this location held many memories and so much meaning to all of them.

 Thank you, thank you, Quinn for having me come out to New Braunfels to take some photos during this exciting season of your life. I’m so excited for all that is in store for you as you finish up your senior year and head off to Baylor in the fall!

Oh dear! I almost forgot to blog this gem of a wedding from late October! I’m so glad I realized my mistake so that you call could take a peek into Trina and Toby’s delightful Denton wedding day that started off at the Little Chapel in the Woods.

Here you catch a glimpse at Trina and Toby’s first look to kick off our portraits before their ceremony.

I was tearing up right along with Trina as she opened her wedding day present from Toby — a journal he wrote in for her during the last 40 days leading up to the wedding. On the back inside cover he wrote, “Not the end . . . but the beginning.” Good job, Toby.

Toby wore Beatles cuff links for his mom, and carried Trina’s grandfather’s pocket watch.

I so enjoyed getting to steal Toby and Trina away for a few minutes of sunset portraits before we all headed to the reception. I love, love getting to photograph my brides and grooms right smack-dab in the middle of sweet newly married moments.

We snuck out of the reception for a few portraits of Trina and Toby working it with their get-a-way car before the big send-off.

 I’m so happy for you, Trina and Toby! Thank you for trusting James and myself with documenting your wedding day.

Morgan describes herself as more of a city girl.

Chance describes himself as a full-fledged country boy.

Morgan wanted Chance to feel represented by their engagement session location — so we met up in the small town of Gustine, Texas the day after Thanksgiving for some photos in the country.

This next spot is pretty cool — my uncle tipped me off to this house for real built in 1900 out on some property owned by some family of ours. I went out before the shoot to scout and showed Morgan and  Chance the place and they were all for shooting here. Huzzah!

Oh yes, and there was that time that I asked them if they wanted to climb up into this hayloft and they totally did. That was pretty cool.

To end the shoot, Morgan and Chance brought out some holli powder . . . ya know . . . just to see what would happen . . .

 And this was what happened. A holli powder fight between a country boy and his city girl.

I’m so pumped for y’all’s June wedding!
