new website

Check out my new photography website Here
It's up and running. There are some new galleries too for those of you that already saw it. Click on "featured galleries." And remember to tell me what you think!


We're all doing pretty well. No one is sick, which is a miracle at this time of year. Andrew is passed the half way mark in Law School. He's 5/9 finished! Gabriel is talking more and more and it's really cute when he sings "Zacheus" (Now that I have my new computer I will try to get a video up.) Jonah started saying "dada" and he has pulled up a couple of times this week. He's just getting too big! And I have been staying pretty busy between Stroller Strides, play dates, trying to keep the house clean, photography, training for a 5K, and working on my new website in my spare time.
Life is good.

Bridal Portrait Session

This week I went to Nacogdoches to do a bridal portrait session. We went to an Episcopal church that was beautiful. I know I had a lot of fun shooting her and I hope that she had as much fun. Here's how it went.
Let me know what you think, and which ones are your favorite.
