I love this couple so much. This wedding was very special to me as I became friends with the bride and her mother throughout their booking. They even came to MY wedding just one month prior! Not only are they the sweetest people to work with, but they are so Stylish and know how to party. The whole wedding was on New Years (at night- yes!) and so the lighting I got to work with was very unique. Their Wedding was one of the very first to be at Ballet Austin. They got married on the stage! I could go on forever, but you'll see the photos and understand the coolness for yourself. Enjoy!

I LOVED working with Ballet Austin Light Engineers to create the above photos. Seriously amazing staff and equipment for a photographer like me. Thank you, thank you, thank you Ballet Austin.

Val surprised Bryan with having Poker at the reception! He LOVES Poker and it made for the perfect evening. Guests went from different "stations" of fireworks, food & drink, poker, and dancing. What a dream.

You cannot get any more Glitter and Graphite than this. Sometimes Glitter and Graphite means creative and traditional photos, but in this case, it meant ballerina and steam-punk. We still got the more "traditional" photos that our brand is known for, but for now we want to show off how we showed off this unique girl's personality. We love this session so much! Taken partially in a  junk yard and at Barton Springs.

I am so inspired by this girl and this session. Yay!

New years Eve wedding with FIREWORKS is coming up! In the meant time, I've been having fun with these two photos.

P.S. How are you liking the new look? If you're from instagram leave a comment to say hello :)

Louise and Frank had the most picturesque fall wedding. I loved the happy, laid back feel of the day- it was so joyful! I've been family friends of theirs for a long time, which made this experience so much sweeter. Enjoy!

Ballerina Glitter session? Yes please! Scroll down a few blog posts to see her Graphite session :)

Sweet, sweet Bethany. We had quite the adventure finding these photo locations along the Austin Green Belt. She's so beautiful, and her family has a very special place in my heart. I did their family photos and her big brother's senior photos a few years ago! Also, just as a side note, she has the coolest boots I've ever seen. Enjoy!

This is Madeline. She is beautiful and wonderful and graduating High school this year! Go Madeline! Part two, our Glitter session, is coming soon! :)

A few weeks ago I flew to Seattle for a new twist on a Glitter Shoot. Glitter shoots are all about having fun and doing something untraditional. My solution to that is usually throwing glitter on people and moving towards a fashion-esque shoot. However, I've always known I wanted to do more styled shoots- one with story lines. I knew I needed some help- and I couldn't have found a better event planner than Kelli at ShinDig Events. She coordinated a team of other wedding professionals to create the ultimate engagement shoot inspired by the ultimate retro lovebirds, Lucy & Ricky. Sumblime Stems provided the flowers, Lady Yum provided some DELICIOUS sweets, and Offwhite Beauty Boutique did some gorgeous hair and makeup. And our models? Prepare for amazing, folks. Shaughnessy and Kyle , owners of Hold Steady Clothing, drove all the way from Canada to join us! What an honor! Everything was just SO fun. We had the coolest location to shoot at as well- The Georgetown Stables in downtown Seattle had the perfect feel that we were going for. 

Why did I choose to shoot in Seattle, you ask? Becaauuuusseeee..... We're moving to the Northwest! By we I mean my husband and I. We leave in early January and will be living in Astoria, Oregon. In addition to having a marvelous shoot for the sake of having a marvelous shoot, we're hoping this shoot helps us get our names out with the folks in that area. We will still be coming back to Texas many times a year for all of our previously booked clients, and I'm sure we'll be traveling all over the states, and hopefully world! Okay, ENOUGH OF ME TALKING. Enjoy the photos! Thank you so much to all of those who made this shoot happen!
