Engagement session season is in full swing!! I have a week’s worth of love lined up for you!
Next up are the adorable Merrill and Blayne. We hit lots of spots around Austin and their classic style was perfect for each location. Ladies, note Merrill’s scarves! I love scarves for photos!
They are also easy to talk to (Merrill and I were in the same sorority – I KNEW I liked her the moment we met), laid back and generally just pleasant to be around. I loved that it was just a chatty, fun afternoon – there was never a lull in the conversation. I really enjoyed getting to know them better on a beautiful spring afternoon. They are planning a fall Wildflower Center wedding and it’s going to be just lovely – I can’t wait!

It’s time to get back to work!
Here is a super sized Sunday Sneak Peek of the the spicy hot Lori and Jason. Their session was a blast and I can’t wait to show you more later.

When you see a certain flower that is in this part of Texas for a very specific time period, you will know how behind I am in blogging.
My slow blogging does not mean I love these two any less though. Kristin and Nik and I had a great time during their engagement session. We battled traffic on South Congress during first Thursday, wind, the threat of rain – pretty much a full plate of drama as far as shoots go. It didn’t matter how weird the circumstance, though, these two were calm and trusted in me. They are so lovely together. I think you’ll agree.
I can’t wait for your fall wedding! Thanks to Barbara of Barbara’s Brides for bringing us together. (Aren’t we all dreaming of fall this time of year?)

Christine and Tyler are Deee-lightful! Kind and adorable and smiley smiley smiley. Love. Them.
I spent some time tonight with Christine at her bridal session (she is gorgeous!) and remembered that I have not blogged this session yet. Well let’s get that fixed shall we?
I can’t wait to see you guys in just three weeks!

Wow, was it cold the morning we did this session. Like, crazy-most-Texans-would-not-be-caught-dead-outside cold. However, the lovely Stephanie and Paul had come in from Houston, so we made a fun winter session out of it!
Stephanie and Paul and are an awesome combo of smarts, silliness and smiles. Despite the frigid temps, I had a blast hanging out with them and then almost getting kicked out of a bookstore {more on that below}. People, let me remind you the power of the phrase ‘But this is their engagement session.’ It is usually followed by ‘OK, then do whatever you want.’ Hooray for love!
Thanks so much for being such superstars you guys! I can’t wait for the wedding.




Stephanie and Paul love books and hanging out at bookstores (as do I!) . In fact, when we were finished with the shoot, I left them at the store. They may still be there for all I know! Hope you guys had fun at my favorite Austin bookstore! Thanks again!
