Creating a Wedding Album

Filed in : LG Tips, Personal, Wedding

Our Favorite Gift We Gave This Christmas Hands down, the best Christmas presents my husband and I purchased this year were our wedding albums for our parents. Our wedding photography was one of my favorite things we invested in for our wedding (big surprise there, right??), so displaying the best photos in a well made, beautifully printed […]

Chapin Family Portraits

Filed in : Mini-Session

While in Dallas visiting my parents over Thanksgiving, I had the privilege of taking some family photos for my cousin Ashley and her growing family. Her husband Alan and three girls were so fun to photograph and they picked a beautiful location in McKinney. With three kids close together in age, she said it had […]

Durango, Colorado Christmas Vacation

Filed in : Personal, Travel

I’ve been on some pretty great vacations – to Hawaii, Jamaica, Grenada, The Grand Canyon, the East Coast, Florida beaches – and in my three or so trips to Colorado, it’s proved to be one of my favorites every time. Like Austin, there’s a lot to do and a lot to see. But there, the […]

Best of 2016

Filed in : Personal

Despite every late night comedy show joking about how 2016 was the worst year ever, I think 2016 was one of my BEST years ever. I don’t know what those guys are talking about, but 2016 was awesome for me. To recap, here are some of the best parts of MY year: I GOT MARRIED […]

Miranda’s Senior Photos | Brushy Creek

Filed in : Seniors

Meet, Miranda! She’s a senior in Leander ISD and my second 2017 senior to photograph so far. Miranda picked Brushy Creek for her location, and it couldn’t have been a better choice! After shooting there only one time, it’s already one of my favorites! This natural area includes unique bridges, a perfect little creek, a […]

Ava’s Puppy Portraits

Filed in : Personal

Photographing dogs can be difficult. They want to explore, chase after at every unfamiliar sound and smell, put everything in their mouths, and usually aren’t the best at remembering what “sit” and “stay” mean when there’s a camera in front of them. Despite these challenges, taking what I call Puppy Portraits is really fun, and any time […]

Krystyn & Casey

Filed in : Engagement

So, I’m pretty excited. These are some of my favorite photos from any engagement session (or any session period), and I’m excited to share some of them with you all! Krystyn & Casey met each other while they were both on the track and field team at A&M. After graduating and dating long distance for a long […]

Amber & Steven | Austin Engagement Photos

Filed in : Engagement

Amber & Steven wanted a relaxed and casual engagement session and chose the Hope Outdoor Gallery for the location. It was a perfect fit! This place goes by many names (Baylor Street Art Wall, Castle Hill, The Art Wall, etc.) and is the site of an abandoned construction project from the 1980’s. It’s only officially been […]

Janessa & Rebecca’s Grad Photos | UT Austin

Filed in : Seniors

As a Texas Tech grad, it’s hard for me to admit how pretty the UT campus is. It’s got everything – tall trees, beautiful and unique architecture, and a variety of different backgrounds around every corner. It’s perfect for portrait photography, so when LGP Bride Rebecca asked if I would photograph her (again!) and her […]

Creating a Wedding Snapchat Geofilter

Filed in : LG Tips, Wedding

Snapchat geofilters. They’re 2016’s trendy wedding idea, and people are going CRAZY for them. I recently read that one of the first things a couple does after they get engaged is come up with their wedding hashtag and start searching for geofilter ideas. The average couple does this within 24 hours of getting engaged. Wow! While I’m sure […]
