Fabulous Engagement Session -- {Bryan/College Station Engagement Photographer}

What a fabulous session! Kyle and Lori are the SWEETEST couple! It was so hard keeping them from smiling. Their smiles are contagious! I LOVE the looks that I captured them giving each other. There are two pictures on here that I just adore the look Lori is giving him. SO loving and so hot. hehe It just melts my heart. I was excited to get to try out a new location. We went to the now "infamous" barn and to a nature trail. Thanks guy's for choosing me to take your portraits. You make my job so fabulous!!!

Happy and cute 1yr old -- {Bryan/College Station Children Photographer}

OMG! Where has a year gone? It seems like it was just yesterday I was taking this sweet boy's newborn pictures. How stinkin' adorable is he? He had the best personality. Happy and ready to go! I just love the images I got of him. Here is a sweet little peek!

Baby Tripp -- {Bryan/College Station Newborn Photographer}

I was so excited to finally meet baby Tripp! What a beautiful baby boy! I had the pleasure of taking maternity pictures of this gorgeous momma. We had a great session. He barely made a fuss. I just LOVE the pics I got of the two of them together. It makes my job so worth it when I see how excited my clients get over their pictures. Here are a few I will share but believe me, it was hard to choose. Hope you love them Morgan!

Kinsley's 1! -- {Bryan/College Station Children Photographer}

I can't believe she is one already! This last year has flown by. It seems like just yesterday I was taking her newborn pictures. We had some fun playing dress up. She got a sweet new skirt for Christmas so we incorporated her adorable birthday headband with it. She looks like a lil can can. SO CUTE! No nap and happy baby! We had a lot of fun with this session. Here is your sneak peek Kristin! ;)

Modeling for fun -- {Bryan/College Station Photographer}

My family went to my in laws in San Antonio for Christmas. I was standing on the upstairs patio looking at the empty lot behind them. It was evening and the sun was setting. I got that little "ding,ding,ding" in my crazy little head. The light is flowing through the trees so beautiful and golden and there is green all over the ground, I wonder if my sweet and cute sister in law would want to do a fun little photo shoot over there this week. She happily agreed so we went through her closet. It started off as a grunge/teenage photo session and ended up more of a "Twilight" type session. My other sister in law is also doing photography so she joined us. They were both cracking me up by talking about things "Bella" does in the Twilight series. I saw the first movie but I'm not the huge fan a lot of people are, so I couldn't really remember how she acted and such like they did. I'm more into "True Blood". After doing this session, I def want to see it again. My young sis in law was not a huge fan of Twilight until recently. My mother in law bought her the series of books and she can't put them down. She informed me that the vampire bite is NOT two puncture marks but a crescent shape. I would have never known. Then they told me about the eyes of a vampire, they are dark when they are hungry and ready to feed and light when they are full. Perfect with Julie's eye color. Ya know, ya learn something new everyday right? lol Anyway, we started off with a fairy thing and went to more of a twilight thing. It was fun to just play. Julie was such a natural. Thanks again Julie. You are the bomb! OH, and I almost forgot! As we are shooting a spiked buck walks right into the lot. We are like "OMG", then a 4point (or so) buck walks up behind him. I can't say I have ever been that close to one. We were laughing saying that went right along with our theme but didn't get any pics of them in the background. They didn't last long. The clicking of our cameras ran them off. THEN, the neighbors had their binoculars out trying to figure out what we were doing. It was pretty funny! To the like 3 people that follow my blog, I hope you like them!

Hot & Awesome Engagement session -- {Bryan/College Station Engagement Photographer}

This was an absolutely awesome session. My good friends were up for anything! We laughed and got silly. It was so hard to pick out my favorites! There were SO many. They told me some interesting stuff about downtown were we took these. I have done a lot of sessions downtown but knowing the history a little more is always fun to me. They were telling me about Lyle Lovett doing a video to "This old porch" down there. It was in the 90's. After I watched the little documentary and video and saw all the places where I take pictures, I was in awe of how much it has changed. Heck, it has changed a lot just since I moved here about 14yrs ago. I love Lyle's music!!! I can't believe I didn't know he had filmed a video here. He is an Aggie and use to live here (heck, he may still have a home here). Anyway, made the session really interesting hearing all of the stuff they knew about the downtown. I'm not a big history buff or anything but do love to know interesting details about places I love. They are really cleaning up this area. There are so many other places I would love to shoot at but it's not the best part of town! ;) So hopefully more will be done so I can have some new spots! It really has become over saturated with photographers too. Can you blame them? lol Ok, enough of me rambling on about my fun location. Here is the awesome session...
