This is one of my favorites from Saturday’s wedding!

This good-lookin couple hired me over the phone, and I didn’t get to meet them until right before their wedding. We sat down, talked about their day, their personalities, and I knew we’d have a great time! They had a beautiful wedding, and they even decided to do a fun day-after session (coming soon!).

Venue/Caterer/Cakes: Barr Mansion

Dress: Bellissima Couture

Flowers: Abby Daigle

Make Up: Katy Holland

Hair: Avant Garde Studio (Julia Plaia)

We did this shoot on the East Side. Our adventures took us to Rio Rita where my friend Bryan Nelson (Australian Cattle God Records, Austin Facial Hair Club) lives next door. He happened to be out in his yard so we asked if we could borrow his goat Yaggi. Yeah, you heard me right. Goat! An impromptu goat shoot! Ha!

This photo features the tiger artwork of one miss Hope Perkins. She and I were once roommates!

Sam’s mom contacted me about doing a Quinceanera portrait session. “Sounds fun!” I say. “By the way, do you happen to teach second grade? My son had a second grade teacher with the same name as yours.”

“Yes! I do teach second grade! Who is your son?” And I tell her his name. Peyton Tanzillo. And she appropriately replies, “Awww! He’s the greatest student I’ve ever had and he is so wonderful and nice and I wish he were my own son!”

Well, she didn’t say that. But she did say that he is a wonderful kid and she was glad to have him in her class and then she and I had a good chuckle about what a small world it is. And then I took some pretty photographs of her gorgeous daughter.
