stephanie & mike in loveee | san antonio engagement portraits

What a SERIOUSLY awesome last engagement session in San Antonio. Stephanie and Mike were my favorite kind of couple to photograph–they were so down-to-earth and their photos were anything but stiff (see the end pictures where they jumped in a waterfall, haha)! I felt happier just by being around them. They are SO in love.

These technically aren’t engagement photos; when I met these two, they had JUST gotten married in San Antonio. Their official ceremony will be a year from now. They told me the cutest (Mike, I’m allowed to say cute, right??) story about how they met in basic training. If I remember the story correctly, in basic training the men and women aren’t allowed to talk to each other, but Stephanie liked Mike anyway, so each time she went to wash her hands, she would take an extra long time so she could see him :) Now, they have wedding bands on their fingers!

Steph & Mike–CONGRATS to both of you and best of luck with your upcoming move. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for you!

This was a last-minute session for me in San Antonio, but I’m so glad that I was given the opportunity to take photos for the sales crew at Clear Channel Radio. What a fun, laid-back group of people. I had a few strange requests for these headshots (and as a consequence, ended up with quite a few ant bites) but they were down for anything and made my job so easy.

a long time coming | san antonio family photographer

I couldn’t be more thrilled to finally share this video with you! The idea for this project had been sitting dormant for quite awhile, but everything finally fell together this past week and I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. I post so many finished pictures on the blog all the time, but I wanted to share some of the behind-the-scenes action in the hopes that people can better understand what a photo session is all about. My friend Alex Walker perfectly realized my vision for video. He is incredibly talented and great to collaborate with–be sure to contact him if you’re interested in his work!

Many thanks to Allison, who graciously agreed to include her senior session in the video, as well as the two incredible families below. All of them came out bright and early to shoot, braved hot weather, burrs and mosquitoes, and I’m forever grateful! :)

Below are a few stills from the sessions, as well as some shots of my friend Alex in action.

Abby - the video is perfection!

bevin, class of 2011 | san antonio senior portraits

I’m pretty sure these senior pictures have been in the making ever since I took pictures for Bevin’s sixteenth birthday a couple of years ago. Months ago, she told me about her plan to do the first part of her pictures in a cave that she’s been exploring since she was a kid. I thought it was a great idea, so we made the hike down. Of course, mistake #1 on my part was wearing flip-flops :/ You should have seen us…you would have laughed, I promise!! I was struggling down the rocks in flimsy shoes, Bevin was making her way down in a formal dress, and her mom was right after us carrying Bevin’s flute and keeping it safe. I think the twenty mosquito bites I got that night made it even more comical :) Talk about an adventure!

BUT the pictures were SO worth it! Girl, you are stunning in these…so glad the plans worked out and I hope these are just like you imagined!

allison, class of 2011 | san antonio senior portraits

I loveddd this shoot on Friday, and I should have known it would be good because I’m friends with her adorable big sister and obviously, being awesome runs in their family.

We did these out at Old Bandera, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite session locations. I’m also excited to tell you that these photos are a part of a special project which I’ll be announcing shortly on the blog…can’t wait to show you what we did this weekend!!

The awesome mom behind the photos :)
