This is my first wedding at Vista West Ranch and it was absolutely beautiful!

Erin and Dustin met as freshmen at Rice College and had a very romantic first date of watching Saw IV When it came time to plan the wedding they figured that Texas Hill Country would be the perfect backdrop for an outdoor wedding. For Erin and Dustin’s engagement shoot we decided to incorporate some of the more eclectic sights of East Austin into the pictures, and I adore how well these quirky, colorful photos turned out!

I *love* the Zilker Kite Festival!  It is so pretty and whimsical and FUN!  Sadly I missed it earlier this month (note to self: next year get there EARLY) so make myself feel better about it I’m re-posting these photos that I took at the 2011 Kite Festival.  Suspend your disbelief!

Shelley and Frankie had a beautiful baby girl. Welcome, Miss Olivia!

I’m so glad these two invited me into their home. They’re now responsible for a SERIOUS case of baby fever

I photographed Jessica and Justin’s wedding back in May of 2009. I remember it well. I remember driving through a flooded San Antonio on my way out to Utopia. I remember being pregnant. I remember being covered in fire ants at one point during the night. What I remember the most though, is how sweet and in love these two were. And they still are

They welcomed their beautiful daughter a couple months ago, and their love has only gotten bigger.

Jessica and Justin,

Thank you so much for inviting me into your home to photograph your new family. Evelyn is wonderful, and I hope she continues to bring you love and joy!

*hugs*
