So what’s the big deal with “mini-sessions”, and why are they so great? Mini-Sessions are simply a shorter version of regular photo session. Photographers group multiple sessions together in one day, back-to-back. The date, time, and location are predetermined. All you need to do is sign up. It’s a simple and cost effective way to […]

“What! What!! What is happening??” Natalie thought she was meeting up with her friends McKenna and Alexa for brunch at the Austin Country Club, but when Alexa said they needed to go somewhere first, Natalie didn’t think much of it.

When Talin and my brother Russell started dating, they were 13 or 14 years old (the debate is still out). I’m not sure what the likelihood is of finding “your person” at that age, but for many years now, it’s been so clear that’s exactly what they did. In the past 9 years, they’ve grow up […]

Angela & Matthew have known each other basically their whole lives. They met in second grade, grew up alongside each other, started dating as sophomores in high school, went to Texas A&M together, and now, after nearly seven years of dating, they’re planning their wedding! I love hearing stories about couples who are clearly meant to […]

After 30 years of marriage, Richard gave Ann the wedding they never had. It was stunning; with beautiful florals, table settings, and decorations designed and coordinated by their daughters. It was meaningful; held in their own backyard, with friends and family who traveled from around the world to celebrate with them. And it was all a […]
