Bumps on the beach!

McPherson Family-"The Bump" Photo Shoot

04.29.12

This weekend I had one of the most amazing shoots thus far.  It was a maternity shoot for one of my best friend's sister in law Helen.  Helen is the tiniest, cutest, prego mommy-to-be ever!  I love that her husband is so much taller than her.  The juxtaposition of lil Helen and her tall husband made for an amazing photo shoot dynamic.  They also brought their sweet pup Sundae.  Isn't that the cutest name?! My best friend Amanda assisted on this shoot and was the official dog sitter.  I don't think she minded since she loves pups as much as I do.  The shoot was in Galveston, my first and the weather looked a bit ominous on the drive down.  I was a bit concerned it might rain but low and behold the weather cleared just long enough for our shoot.  The light was STUNNING!!!!  There was this gorgeous glow in the sky and Helen looked beautiful!  She was such a natural that in only 30 minutes we had 500 pictures!  I could not have asked for better models, lighting and scenery.  Simply gorgeous!  Here are some shots from that day. 

Two Lovers & Bruce Almighty

Kayleigh & Mike-Engagement Shoot

04.28.12

I love engagement shoots!  It is such an awesome honor to work with couples who are about to embark on forever and witness them so in love with one another.  This weekend I had the pleasure of working with my old boss, Janelle's, daughter Kayleigh and her fiance Mike...oh and their dog Bruce.  Oh what a lover Bruce was.  He was so handsome and such a good boy.  Kayleigh and Mike are getting married next April and are so adorable together.  Mike is such a gentleman...never letting Kayleigh carry too much, bringing a handkerchief for her to wipe her brow, and helping her at any moment she required it.  These two were so much fun to work with and Janell came a long too to wrangle Bruce.  We had a lot of fun and a lot of laughs.  Oh how I love LOVE....here are a few shots of the two lovers and Bruce Almighty.  :)

Different Scenes & Different Moods

Jabbar Family

04.26.12

I just love photo shoots at Hermann Park and the other day I was able to work there again.  There is something so great about the park.  It might be that you can create several different moods with your photos with all the different scenery options.  I was so excited the Jabbar family chose to have their session at the park (except for the parking).  The Jabbar's brought their two adorable lil girls with them and I just fell in love with their sweet faces.  The littlest one was so feisty and independent while their elder daughter was a doll and so well behaved.  It is so fun to watch kids and their different personalities.  They really are lil' people.  The Jabbar's shoot was a lot of fun and I was lucky enough to work in one of my favorite venues that day.  Here are some shots from that day.
