Wedding: Therese and Maik

Once upon a time, there was a boy from a far away land.  Maik and Therese met in high school when he was visiting as a German exchange student.  This is when their LOVE story began.  They were married in Napa a few weeks ago and it was a lovely union.   Therese, you look stunning!

Del Rio Country Club Fashion Flash 2011

This past week I was invited to photograph Luxurious Swimwear by Aqua Bliss at the Del Rio Women's Invitational Fashion Show.  They had great vendors, food and the best DJ in town!  Here are few pictures of the fun filled event!

I don't know why I like this photo, but I do!

Have I mentioned I'm obsessed with brown Italian leather?!  If I were a AerogreeN golf shoe I would want to be one of these!  

Some of the beautiful details put together by event coordinator Amber Allen from Del Rio Country Club

Quincenera: Vanessa

A few weeks ago Vanessa celebrated her 15th birthday.  She wore a beautiful white dress with gold embroidery.  I loved her simplistic approach to her Quincenera.

Baby Jaxon

Meet Jaxon!  An old friend from high school contacted me to do her son's photos and I had a blast meeting her little guy and catching up with her.  This tiny bear was only a week old at the time of the shoot and pretty awake to my surprise.  His beanie was purchased on etsy.

The frame shoot: Karis

When Karis was 7mo old we did a bucket shoot now that she is almost a year older we wanted to do another themed shoot and this is what we came up with.  Tia loves you!!!

This was a mock Ralph Lauren shoot we did just before Easter.  I love that Brynn is just like her mom!  She is totally girly, yet tough and can keep up with the boys.  Brynn was excited to finally move on to her part of the shoot after Austynn's.  As I was getting ready to leave she said, "Tia, thank you for my photo shoot."  Brynn,....de nada, te quiero mucho!!!

Baby: Austynn

When your close friends have kids you love them like family.  That is why this precious little girl will know me as Tia!  We were all praying that she would recover quickly from being ill and when she finally made it home from the hospital we were able to get these shots.  Her beautiful, big blue eyes just popped against the blue streaks of yarn in her beanie.  I LOVE you little girl!
