My 25th Birthday

Thursday, April 9, 2009

So my birthday was actually over three weeks ago, March 23, but I'm just now finding time to blog a few pictures from the day's festivities. My family and a few close friends all took me out to Escalantes in Highland Village! The food was awesome, conversation was great, and we had some great laughs goofing around. Wow, a quarter of my life has passed by...I'm starting to feel old ;)

These pics were taken with a point & shoot camera...just a heads up.

My friend Chris, Jasmine, Mandy & Jean

My and my lovely girlfriend Alex.

That can not possibly be your mom. Seriously? She is GORGEOUS and does not look old enough to have such an old son! (You can tell her I said so too. Us moms have to stick together.)

Happy birthday again - fun seeing your party!

Andrea & Juan : Sneak Peek

Wednesday, April 8, 2009

Last Friday I had the pleasure of shooting two of the most prominent Rock Bander's I know! In all seriousness though, these two were awesome. While going through their images after the shoot I could tell that they truly love each other. That's so awesome when that is able to come off on camera! Anyway, here is an image from the shoot...check back tomorrow for the rest of the images.

Dominique & Ryan : Engaged

Wednesday, March 25, 2009

I had a great time shooting Dominique and Ryan's engagement shoot last week! Seriously, they are two of the coolest people I know. Even though we didn't get to use our original location they were able to wing it and just go with the flow. Dominique loves desserts so Craves Cupcakes was an excellent substitute location. I can't wait to shoot their wedding next November, but more excited that even after I can call them friends. Peep the images!

Two Saturday's ago Leah and Borys were married at St. Lukes United Methodist and had an elegant reception at the Four Seasons in downtown Houston. These two are one of my favorite couples ever! We were able to spend about 30 minutes before the ceremony taking portraits of the two of them in downtown and we were able to get some pretty amazing stuff. Check em' out!
