Maggie + Jimmy : Engaged

I met Maggie and Jimmy a while back this year to talk about hiring me to shoot their wedding. If my memory serves me correctly, it was...OH! WAIT! I have it written in my calendar! It was the 18th of July 2009! (Thanks, iCal!)
Anyway, I got such a great vibe and energy the minute we met! They are so fun, sweet, laid back, relaxed, and so totally in love!!

Their wedding is not until June 2010, and I wanted to work and see them before that, so we scheduled an engagement session right before I went on holiday! When I asked if Maggie had any suggestions for a location, she asked if the Capitol here in Austin would be alright. Want to know why? Because that's where they had their second date!!! How sweet is that?! It's such a great date idea, too, because let me tell you: the Capitol is BEAUTIFUL! I was so excited for this session!!!
























Maggie and Jimmy, I had such a blast with you two on this session! I know I said it during the shoot, but I totally cannot wait for your wedding! Thank you for everything!!!

Soon, I'll post a few pictures from my first Christmas with James as an engaged couple (and first Christmas we have ever gotten to spend together)!!

If I don't see anyone/post before it, Happy New Year, everyone!!!

xoxo

Melanie + Lloyd + Baby Trip [Maternity]

Many moons ago, thanks to everyone, I was able to offer the first ever "Free Session Saturday!"
Do you remember? I know it was a while back ("FSS" was on the 14th of November), but I'm happy to show some pictures from that day!

Remember Melanie and Lloyd? Well, they took advantage of the "Free Session Saturday", and boy (emphasis on the boy! That's what they're having and they're naming him after his Daddy and Grandfather; but everyone calls him "Trip" because he's the triple [III]!) was I glad they did! They decided to use their hour long session to get some maternity photos done!

Here are some of my favourite photos from the session! We had it at a park near my apartment. I was looking so forward to the session, but when I woke up at 6:00 AM, it was so incredibly foggy! We made the session time for 6:45 AM, but with the fog, I knew it might be difficult to get light filled shots. I called at around 6:30 and told them to take it easy getting to the park and to go ahead and grab some breakfast and to just meet me at the park at 7.

It was still incredibly foggy by 7, but we were all optimistic! I'm glad we chose to go ahead and shoot, because we got some great shots!

Just a kiss because they love one another! So natural! I love it!

This next shot is probably my favourite from the entire day! Like I said, it was really foggy when we started...but of course, five minutes before our session was over, the sun started creeping in! I was so happy, because I had an opportunity to snag a few shots like this one:

I just LOVE this photo! It's so romantic and beautiful to me! (If I may say so myself!)

I always have such a great time working with you, Melanie and Lloyd! I can't wait to meet little Baby Trip one day! Happy Holidays!
