Eric and Sarah {Portraits}

I can't start this story without mentioning that Sarah's mom was one of the first people I met when I started work at Germania several years ago, and is still one of my favorite people ever. She just has such a wonderful, energetic and fun spirit, which Sarah has inherited. 

Sarah and Eric are just a joy to be around. It also doesn't hurt that they're just beautiful people on the inside and out, too. Even after two years of marriage, they're still in love like newlyweds. 

We took these shots on a perfect Texas fall evening. The light was beautiful, the temperature was cool and everything just came together for a great photo shoot. Thank you, Eric and Sarah, for a great evening of shooting and for allowing me the opportunity to document this blessed time in your lives.

Before and After: Two Years Later

Valerie and Josh {Portraits}

Two years ago, Valerie was the first professional senior portrait I ever shot. Two years later - almost to the day - she wanted to recreate the shoot at the same location with her boyfriend, Josh. So we headed out with my pal (and one of the best strobists you'd ever hope to meet), Matt Parker, to try to capture the magic again.  Matt assisted me on the original shoot, so having out there again added a great bit of symmetry.

We recreated some of the same shots from the previous shoot and shot some new poses, as well. And it was especially fun photographing Valerie with Josh. They're both very fun people, so the entire shoot just went well.

Thank you, Valerie, for allowing me to once again document a special moment in your life. I hope you love these photos!

Becca, Anna and Morgan - Three Lovely Seniors {Portraits}

I've never photographed THREE senior women at the same time before, and so going into this shoot I was very nervous. But having the three of them there made the shoot so much more fun than normal. I'm surprised we got ANY photos shot - these girls were giggling so much! 

Becca is one of our (and our kids') favorite people in the world, so it was great to get so meet some of her best friends. I hope that these beautiful ladies enjoy these photos of a great time in their lives for years to come! Thank you for allowing me the honor of shooting them. :)
