Love is in the Air {Elena & Ian}

From the archives...

Genuine. Caring. A true friend. This is my unofficial definition of Elena (though I may submit it to Webster to see if we can make it official). We met at work, became friends over many, many burrito bowls (thanks, Chipotle), and have "grown up" together photographically. Now, I am proud to say that I've had the distinct pleasure of photographing beautiful moments in her journey from Perez to McLaughlin.

Elena informed me that Ian had previously taken flight lessons, and with that notion, a theme was born. We decided to begin Elena & Ian's engagement session on the tarmac of the West Houston Airport.

This is what happiness looks like. They wear the glow well, don't they?

After we left the airport, we stopped by a cute little spot that was perfect for a picnic.

Max Muller said, "A flower cannot blossom without sunshine, and a man cannot live without love." Elena & Ian, may you live the rest of your lives truly and fully in love.

Spring Petite Sessions {Pearland Portraits}

Spring... A time when the laughter of children and the sweet songs of birds fill the air. A time to reflect on the beautiful memories we have already created. A time to capture the beauty of "now." A time to dream of the wonders we have yet to encounter.

See you soon!

Long Distance Love

Love sometimes has a mind of its own. It does not care about preference or convenience. It gives no attention to minute details, when the grande scheme is considered. Once it grabs hold, distance does not matter. Kim & Will's relationship has blossomed with hundreds of miles separating them. Their patience and endurance will soon reap a harvest of love when they get married in Texas, and begin a new chapter of their journey living in Nebraska.

Once Kim & Will agreed to a themed Engagement Session, the wheels began to turn for me. I LOVE thinking outside the box and letting creativity reign. "Long Distance Love" ruled the day.

To add a little touch of romance that would give them something special to hang on to at the end of the session, I asked Kim & Will to write a little note to each other to be opened later.

I truly enjoyed getting to know these beautiful people a little better. The way they love is a wonderful thing to behold. Hearing stories of their frequent travel and Skype conversations reminded me how strong and stubborn real love is. When it is meant to be, when it is true, it will be. And it will be lovely.

Playtime with Karter

I had the privilege of hanging out with my little friend, Karter a bit ago. We had an intense conversation about tutus, sparkly shoes, how learning to walk is going, and her plans for her birthday party. I even got to witness some of her dance moves. It was a great time. :-)

The beauty that love creates is found in the eyes of a child. And each moment I am able to spend looking into those windows of innocent souls - freezing tiny moments - is an absolute pleasure for me.

Dearest Karter, as you approach your first birthday, I wish you courage to find your dreams, joy to fuel your soul, and love to fill your heart...from now until forever.
