The pack. We're talking about THE pack here, not to be confused with a wolf pack. We are not wolves...just very silly photographers that like to call ourselves the pack. LOL. Actually, Margaret dubbed us as "the pack" very early in our conversations about getting together and for some reason, it just stuck. We tried to brainstorm new names and we were met with complete silence. Nothing. So...the pack it is!
Our love of photography brought us together; the desire to live, learn and share. I decided on the place - my new favorite coffee shop, Antidote Coffee in the Heights. If anyone hasn't visited there before, you are missing out. Our wonderful attendees were the talented portrait/wedding photographer Margaret Lee and the beautiful family portrait photographer Jenna-Dee Detro.
As we were in the middle of very serious discussions, I was THAT person that pulled out their camera to interrupt the conversation. Love it!
A shout out to our long lost fourth member, Kimberly was out sick and we missed her desperately. We are looking forward to hanging out with her on our next outing!
This is the ever hilarious Margaret Lee.

We tried to be VERY serious and only talk about business, but who can help having fun? Definitely not with Margaret around!!
So...Margaret and Jenna-Dee were a little jealous of my recent session with Sarah Rhoads...They decided to reenact their favorite image.
Then we decided to take cheesy maternity pictures...Jenna-Dee tried to help us, but...
We had so much fun! For anyone out there who loves photography, getting together with new or old friends and being able to share and learn from each other is invaluable. Don't let fear get the best of you, just DO IT!

I have been really excited to blog these images. Not only because Shelly & Mark hold a special place in my heart, but because it was a beautiful place, a beautiful night and a couple full of love and laughter. I'm sure I have mentioned this before, but Shelly has a contagious, open and loving laugh. It filled the room the night of their wedding.
I slightly outdid myself with the number of images I am posting...(no, REALLY) but I just couldn't help it! I hope you will agree it was worth it...LOVE this first one.
I mean seriously, look how hot they are? Are they posing for a magazine?
Shelly's friend Rory did the flowers and they were GORGEOUS...
Where to start with our resident Michael Jackson for the night...he not only knew all the words, he knew ALL the dance moves. He was TRULY an entertainer. :)
Just a great night all around...
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Love you guys!

Oh, where to start...the uber fabulous Sarah Rhoads posted images from our mentor session today from a couple weeks ago. I wanted to pretend that I was totally cool and was patiently waiting, but who am I kidding? I was a blubbering school girl that could think of nothing else. :) All I have to say is Sarah and Chris were absolutely amazing at the session. Not only did I get to see Sarah in action taking pictures of yours truly (me), but they were completely open and honest and answered any questions that I had. They armed me with all kinds of new tips and tricks in my pocket. They ROCK!
For any new photographer out there, setting up a session with a photographer that you admire is an amazing way of growing as an artist. When I first started out in photography, I remember thinking that these sessions and workshops were A LOT of money and they still are, but I will tell you whole heartedly that if you are smart about the people you reach out to and the workshops you take your precious time and money to attend, it will pay off 150%.
Enjoy!

I talk a lot about magic when I talk to my brides and grooms for the first time. I think your wedding day is so magical and I strive to capture that feeling in my images of your day.
Yesterday was a marathon wedding for Don & Susan. The wedding ceremony was at 2pm and there was a short break before we started the real fun at the reception. More pictures to come of their beautiful day...but here is a sneak peek of one of my favorite images so far...pure magic.

I am off to shoot another beautiful wedding today, but I wanted to give a shout out to the INCREDIBLE weather Houston has had this week. I know it's a little hotter and stickier than most cities, but I am just thankful for the abundance of sun. Our lucky streak may be ending tonight, so I wanted to make sure and mention it.
Speaking of sun, sometimes I love to take random pictures of sun and clouds. As a photographer, sunlight can be our best friend and our worst nightmare. We have to learn to wrestle with it and ultimately be the winner. Here is a picture of clouds I took when my husband and I visited Austin. They have the most AMAZING sun there...they pretty much have it all. Enjoy! Have a great weekend.
