A Beautiful Bride

Only 2 more days until we're all on our way to Jamaica for Carey and Michael's big day! My sweet nephews Aidan & Maddox are going to have a NEW aunt Carey. There isn't another person in the world who I'd rather share my precious nephews with! Carey & Michael are getting married this weekend in Ochos Rios Jamaica! We all are so excited for their special day and to get to have a little fun in the sun together. Carey, you look absolutely radiant, you seriously could not look more beautiful and happy. I'm so very excited to get to document one of your most special days. Congratulations and welcome to the family! :)
Thank you for Andrea for being my awesome assistant and wonderful sister, and so happy that I got to snap a few pictures of Carey and the boys!

Totally Inspired

I had the amazing opportunity to take a photo workshop by Jessica Claire at her home in the Orange County this past week. The day was absolutely inspirational. The room was filled with such fun and talented photographers eager to learn and get to know each other.
Lindsey and Braedon were our beautiful and absolutely wonderful models for the day. Their love for one another shined through in every photo!
Our photo shoot was styled and designed by so many fabulous vendors. Thank you to those for making this day so much fun! And thank you again Jessica for all the genuine inspiration that you gave to us all.

Sneak Peek: Nina & David

Here's to another amazingly in love military couple! Nina & David are both in the US Army, and got married a couple of years ago. They never had the chance to have portraits taken of the two of them, so this past weekend we met at Mayfield Park in Austin, TX. Once again, the beautiful winter lighting set such a romantic mood for their intimate photo session. Their love for eachother shined through in every photo, they were such naturals in front of the camera.
Thank you both for all you do for our country! It is greatly appreciated....

My Love....

Today is "our" 2nd year anniversary!
I met Chase four years ago on New Year's Eve on 6th and Trinity. Funny thing is I was moving to New York City for the next 6 months for an internship, but not even New York could keep me away from him.
It was love at first sight...... and then before we knew it we were standing side by side saying our wedding vows.
The only thing was....nobody ever tells you how hard marriage can be. You only hear about the good times and all the great big love stories.
I'm even blindsided a bit, because all I ever photograph is "LOVE".
By being married for the past couple of years, I've learned a whole new meaning of love and what it actually means to love someone with all your heart.
I'm a very lucky girl to have someone as special as Chase in my life. My life wouldn't be complete with out him. :)

These wonderful photos were taken by a dear friend: Mackenzie Rollins Photography @ Mackenzierollins.com. Thank you for making these special memories for us. There is nothing more romantic than pictures in the rain at Central Park. :) :)
