Cindy and Barry’s December wedding

01/27/2010 by happyphotographer

Cindy and Barry got married last month at The Woodlands United Methodist Church in the beautiful Robb Chapel. Here’s a few of my favorites from that evening… You can view the whole event or order prints here. They are such thoughtful people- and asked for donations to Tom’s Shoes in leu of gifts. How awesome is that!? Thank you Cindy and Barry (and family ) for welcoming me as if I were family. Enjoy!

This is Cindy's dad and Cindy's son... I looove generational pictures! Seriously, love em.

I think this one is so much fun! I love the expressions! haha.. maybe because it was absolutely freeezing at this point.!

all dogs go to cupcake heaven

01/23/2010 by happyphotographer

Yesterday I met with Melissa and Ross, who won a photo session at this year’s Young Women’s Alliance (YWA) fashion show. They brought their two dogs ( who were MOST pleased about this whole gig) and their laid back selves to enjoy some of the first few days of sunshine Austin has had in a while. Maybe I’m partial to the pooches, but I really love these pictures. Can’t wait to get my hands on the rest- but here’s the first few that caught my eye…

…and they lived happily ever after.

01/17/2010 by happyphotographer

Today I took some photos of Becky and Warren as a little “engagement” session for their wedding early February. It was SUCH a joy to work with these encouraging and caring people who genuinely cherish each other. It was so evident. These are the days that I find myself thinking … oh how I LOVE my job. :) Warren is an artist too! He’s an illustrator for WONDERFUL positive books. See his talent at www.warrenhanson.com. As always… here’s my favorites. …and as always- I can’t ever decide.
