Luke {1 Year Photos: Shakespeare Garden}

You might recognize this little guy from his newborn photos almost a year ago, HERE. It is crazy to see how much he has grown up, and how much I have changed as a photographer! So much in one year!!
Luke is a melt your heart kind of guy. He has the cutest little puppy dog eyes that just make you fall in love with him!! He was so happy the whole entire photo shoot and he was passing out smiles right and left.

Anja and Richard are awesome parents and they have nothing but love for this little guy. I love when I can see the pride in parents faces during a photo session. After this shoot with Luke I am even more excited for our little boy to arrive!!

Thanks guys for another great photo shoot, I love working with you! Enjoy!

Christina and Jeff {Couple Sneak Peek!}

These two might be in love... Seriously. Christina and Jeff are totally and completely 100% in love with each other. I so enjoyed working with the two of them! Their love is deep, by the stories they tell they have walked through a lot together to make that so. Their wedding was gorgeous and they were both beaming with love and happiness! I am so excited to share this sneak peek.

At their reception Christina's younger sister shared a toast in their honor and at the end she shared this quote. It moved me to tears and I just have to share it!
Enjoy these words and their love in photos ;)

"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
-St. Augustine
Thank you St. Augustine, wonderful words!!!

Texas Vacation!

A little vacation for me and Miss C!
Last Thursday Carsyn and I packed up our bags and took the long flight from CA to TX!! I had the absolute privilege of photographing one of my dearest friends weddings on Saturday and besides that we have been relaxing and just enjoying some R&R with my family. My brother was able to drive up from Austin for the weekend and my little sister has been on college break. It has been so nice to see Carsyn be loved on, but we do miss Drew.

My mom and I bought this little leotard for Carsyn this afternoon and we just had to take some photos of her in it with her TuTu!! She was so cute attempting her dance moves, but really just running from the camera!!

Sorry If I haven't e-mailed back quickly I have been forcing myself to take a week long break from editing and not checking e-mail too often!! I will be back next week!!

Enjoy these photos for now!
