The Mauldin family, The Garris family, The Surrec family, and The Bounds family

This morning I had the pleasure of hanging out in Round Rock with Jessica (far right) - who introduced me to the rest of her amazing family! She and her two sisters, Amanda and Sarah, wanted to give their mom something special for her recent birthday...so they surprised her with a family photo shoot.

Here are a few of my favorites...

Meet Martha and David.

And here is Sarah, Daniel, & Lilah. Isn't Lilah just adorable?

Jeff and Jessica are a super cute couple!

Last, but not least, meet Amanda, Nick, and their twins Clara & Carter. I couldn't resist posting this photo - it was totally spontaneous and one of my favorites from the day.

On a more serious note...

And did I mention how fabulous all the girls looked?!?!

Now for a lil' fun with the kiddos. 

Clara thought it would be fun to play with her mom's hair...she was totally cracking herself up and loving every minute of it!

Another favorite...David spotted this huge oak tree and insisted we take a few photos by it...I'm sure happy he did. :)

I had an absolute blast with this fun and loving family. Thanks for sharing your morning with me!

Laura and Jason: Wedding

This past Saturday, I had fun getting to hang out in Marble Falls with Tara - a wonderful friend - for Laura and Jason's wedding. The bright Texas sun was nice and warm during their afternoon outdoor ceremony, but the nice breeze made it tolerable.

Here are a few of my favorite wedding pictures...

And now a scene from The Godfather...

My favorite photo of Laura - she just looks so peaceful. 

Laura and her father before she walked down the isle.

The happy couple!

All the flowers were made by a family friend...they were very pretty!

Laura and Jason, thank you for sharing your special day with me. I wish you happily ever after.

Rhinestone Cowgirl

When my iPhone says it's 92 degrees outside, feels like 96 or more like 166, what could possibly be more fun than heading out for a photoshoot???? I've been wanting to try a new concept shoot out, and who better to test it on than Stacey.

She was a real trooper and didn't complain too loudly when we saw a snake chillin' by a watering hole...

Here are a few of my favorites...

Thanks for hanging out with me...the shoot was a lot of fun but I don't think I'll ever do a mid-day shoot again! Well...not until the weather in Texas hits 70 degrees.

Sarah and Neal: Wedding

I was beyond thrilled when I found out that I'd be shooting at the beautiful Spicewood Vineyards again with Tara. The bride and groom met with attending Texas A&M (whoop!), and according to the toast made by Sarah's maid of honor, couldn't be more perfect for each other. 

While I know the newlyweds are on their honeymoon in Jamaica, enjoying their cottage that's just 30 feet from the ocean, I'll share my favorites from their special day.

First, a look at the guys.

And now the girls...

Neal even took a few minutes to hang out with his precious niece.

And now introducing the Mr. and Mrs. Before entering the reception, they snuck away for a few shots in the gorgeous barrel room.

Here's a look at some of the really pretty reception details...did I mention they were Aggies?!?!

Now to end the evening with a little dancing...

Sarah and Neal, thank you for sharing your special day with me. I wish you happily ever after.

Elizabeth and Jeremiah: Wedding

The day couldn't have been any better, it started off sunny with a gentle blowing breeze, thus allowing me the perfect opportunity to spend a little time with the guys before Elizabeth and Jeremiah said their I Do's. While Tara was busy taking photos of the girls at the gorgeous Spicewood Vineyards, I was in Horseshoe Bay having a little fun of my own. 

The guys really did an amazing job, here are a few of my favorites.

And because Jeremiah loves to play golf, we snuck onto the course for a few shots.

Once the reception started, the dark clouds rolled in and the rain began. It was quite refreshing, and trust me, it didn't stop anyone from having a good time. Here are a few details from the reception...

Check out their really cute candy bar. Their guests loved it!

And you couldn't ask for a more perfect ending to a wedding...one blessed by a rainbow.

Elizabeth and Jeremiah, thank you for sharing your special day with me. I wish you happily ever after.
