little ensley

I had the pleasure of photographing this adorable little girl, and her mommy and daddy, back in July. Ensley is one of the funniest, most expressive babies I've ever worked with. It was so hot, even at 8:30 in the morning, but you wouldn't know it because Ensley just played and laughed and was absolutely cute almost the entire time. We had so much fun!

Thank you to this awesome family for a great shoot, despite the heat!

trisha & russell's wedding

I'm still playing catch-up, but I wanted to post some photos of the first wedding I shot this summer (even though it was back in June! Time flies so fast).

Russell is the brother of Amber, who has been featured on this blog many times with her husband, Austin, and her son Cib (who is now over a year old)! It was awesome for me to get to hang out with their family and be there for all of the beautiful, emotional moments of the day.

I found one of the flower girls playing with my phone - it was so hilariously cute that I had to get the look on her face before gently putting my purse out of reach...

Trisha looked absolutely beautiful - and she really surprised me when she told me the only make-up she was wearing was eyeliner! She is just a naturally gorgeous woman, and she made a radiant bride!

Russell's mother, Renee, and Amber made this gorgeous chocolate cake above. I was so impressed - and it was so tasty!

I had to include a pic of Amber & Austin - they were so great on the dance floor! And so was Cibbers (below), who was great at looking cute from every angle...

After the wedding, I had the pleasure of going back to the groom's parents' house, which is on this gorgeous piece of land in East Texas. We had so much fun doing some candid, playful shots of the bride and groom!

It was truly a pleasure to shoot Trisha & Russell's wedding - I can't wait for the next special occasion with this wonderful family!
