Amanda + Adam = marrried! | Cypress, TX Photographer

When I was in seventh grade band class, I met a girl who played the flute.  We ended up being BFF's...because of the fact that we sucked at clarinet (me) and flute (her) and we both happened to be last chair.  Over the years,  her 2 sisters became the sisters I never had - little did I know, I would have the honor of photographing her little sister Amanda at her wedding 19 years later.  Hold on...is that possible that I was in 7th grade 19 YRS AGO??? Oh my gosh...I'm getting old. 

Amanda and Adam had their wedding and reception at Cole's Country in Cypress.  What a wonderful setting and you couldn't have asked for better weather (minus the mosquitoes)!  Well, enough of my rambling about how old I have gotten - her are some sneak peeks from Amanda and Adam's perfect day....congratulations guys and best wishes on a wonderful life together!

The Stewarts | Cypress TX Family Photographer

Monday night when my brain cells fell asleep, I forgot to load the sneak peeks for the Stewart Family.  I was afraid they would throw kecans at me (no, I didn't spell pecans wrong...don't ask...LOL)...but now, they get their very own post.  So Stewarts...here you go - enjoy!

Attention:  Shelby Inn Mini Session Clients -  I had some major malfunctions with my computer this week and my IT dept (Brad) was able to get them fixed last night, so now I have to reload my website template so that I can load your proofs...sorry for the inconvenience...thanks so much for your patience!

Sneak Peeks | Cypress Top Park Mini Session

 just finished sorting through all my photo files last night and I'm so excited with the results from this weekend's mini session.  Thank you, thank you to my clients for coming out and enjoying the gorgeous weather we had on Sunday!  As I mentioned on Sunday, I'm hoping to have your proof galleries ready soon, I'm hoping the first part of next week. 

And for you Shelby Inn mini session clients...be on the look out for an email from me in the next couple of days with your gallery username and password, I'm just wrapping up on your photos.

Okay, so enough chit-chat....here's the goods, check out some of the fabulous shots from this weekend:

Stewart Family - I will post your sneak peek tomorrow...I was up very late last night and forgot to save your files to my flash drive... please don't throw Kecans at me! (haha)
