Lanie and Jonathan, UT Austin

Posted on January 8, 2010

Lanie and Jonathan love UT and the longhorns just as much as they love each other. Lanie and Jonathan are so sweet, quiet, and soft spoken. I am sure they are watching the game and supporting their team. Here are a couple of pictures from their engagement session.







Time is running out!

Posted on December 23, 2009

Time is running out

Time is running before we join our family for Christmas so I am finishing up my last minute baking, shopping, wrapping, and doing the best to entertain my 2 kids who are full of energy and very eager to get their Christmas going. I am happy to announce that I am nearly done! Sometimes, I think that the holiday commercials can run on the corny end and when I saw this someone, I laughed so hard and screamed to the television, ‘hurry, Santa, hurry!’ I love this commercial!! I can relate and it made me smile. :)

I also want to wish all of you a merry Christmas and happy new year!! I have been so blessed to have worked with some really beautiful and amazing people this year!! I have had some incredible expericences and have you all to thank. It has been a blessing.

We are beginning our much needed family vacation and will return in mid January 2010. Can’t wait to catch up with you all.







Anissa and Arthur’s day after session. Austin,Texas

Posted on December 21, 2009

I can’t stress to you enough how much I love photographing Anissa and Arthur. You never know what you are going to get. Their energy is tireless and it made for such amazing and fun pictures that really capture who they are as a couple. Jake and Rae came along and it made for a really fun shoot!! If you are not familiar with the purpose of a day after session, I will tell you. :)  

A day after session gives brides and grooms an opportunity to get back into their wedding clothes and take some really beautiful and fun pictures together without the wedding day stress. Day after sessions are so much fun and my favorite kind of session.

More from Anissa and Arthur!! Love you two!!

Emily married Jeff on a very, very cold December evening at Vintage Villas. I loved the holiday details. Emily’s dress was beautiful and the lace reminded me of vintage lace….it was beautiful. It was a great wedding and lots of fun.

The Family Circus!

Posted on November 28, 2009

No thanksgiving holiday or I guess anything holiday is complete with the family chaos that I secretly love. My mom, dad, and niece came up to Austin for a thanksgiving feast, shopping and spending time together. I love my family and understand more and more each year as to why family is so important and learned very early this morning how much they love me.

Some of you may know that when I am not making pictures, I love visiting fabric shops and sewing. I mill around the house and pick up a DIY upholstery using my crafty skills and staple gun. There are times where I need to sew something and need a sewing machine. So, I think Jake got tired of me putting fabric together with Krazy glue (fabric glue doesn’t do the job for me). Jake and my mom found a sewing machine on sale and thought of me. I found out this morning that Jake snuck out of the house and drove to the store and fought through the crowds of people to purchase a sewing machine for me. Sadly, when Jake arrived to the store, the sewing machines were long gone. He came home and went back to bed.

My mother also snuck out and headed out to the same store and even called several stores to find the sewing machine and had the same luck. My mother came home and forgot the keys to our house and rang the doorbell, knocked loudly on the door, and even called me. Molly finally heard my mother and answered the door. I asked her how long she was outside and she modestly answer, ‘just a few minutes’. As we were running out the door, I grabbed my phone and started reviewing my missed calls and messages. I noticed that she did call me and try getting in touch with me for about an hour! My heart sunk!! I felt horrible that my poor mother patiently waited for someone to answer the door!! I love her and made it up to her as best as I could. I did end up getting a sewing machine at a bargain price and can’t wait to crank out some projects!!!

I had a great thanksgiving because of my family!!! No post is ever complete without some pictures. Here are some pictures that I took one of my favorite places. My mom and dad came along. Since my favorite place isn’t the most secure location, I held off on telling them until we got there. Mom and dad were such good sports and were amazing helpers. Mom cleaned the kiddos up as soon as I was done with them….you know how moms can be ;)

Happy holidays!!!

Christine Lerma marries Dustin McLemore. Vintage Villas, Austin Texas

Posted on November 3, 2009

Christine and Dustin found each other on E-Harmony. Their wedding was beautiful and intimate. Their vows were amazing and really hit home for me. The moment I had a spare moment, I let Jake know that I love him and appreciate him dearly. It really interesting to watch Dustin admire and love Christine with his eyes. It is evident that they are madly in love with each other.

I have started working on their pictures but wanted to leave with all with a few moments from Dustin and Christine’s wedding at Vintage Villas in Austin, Texas.
