Emily & Robert ~ A Country Wedding

This wedding was in June of 2010 out near Brennan, Texas. If anyone has been to Texas in June or even heard about that time of year, its hot. It's really hot. Luckily we were at a beautiful farm situated on a slight hill. After the sun went down we started to get some breezes and it was quite nice actually.
The heat did not bother Emily and Robert this day. They only thing on their minds was each other. I was with the bride before the ceremony and the other photographer was with the groom. I don't know about Robert, but Emily couldn't get out of there fast enough to see him. Once the church doors opened, all that anxiety and stress washed away. The instant vision and feeling of love was felt through out the whole church.
Congrats to Emily and Robert! May your love and marriage be as hot as that June evening.

Megan ~ A Bridal Portrait

World meet Megan, Megan meet world. This lovely lady was married this past weekend to Chris. I am still in the process of editing the wedding images, but I took a break and want to do this quick post of her bridal session. I am too excited to show you how amazing their wedding was! It'll happen soon, I promise!

Megan works for a very prestigious interior designer here in Houston. She choose to have the bridal session at one of the homes she and the company she works for has been working on for some time. This home is stunning! I think I made Megan go into every room because I couldn't get enough of it. The first shot here is the one she chose to show at the wedding and the rest are some of my very favorites. Enjoy!

Towards the middle of the session we took a break and had some champagne and cheese. Megan's mom Sue, was gracious enough to help us out. Thank you Sue!

Gnomes ~ Herbs

My herb garden is blossoming along with all the other vegetation going on in my yard. I'm so excited! I thought I could only be a gardener when I lived in California since anything you throw in the ground grows, but I'm gettin' the job done here in Texas! As you can see I've got some basil, parsley and cilantro growing. I had some rosemary and dill, but the damn neighborhood squirrels thought it was fun to use the pot they were in for its own personal sand box. I'll try those later and see if it happen again, finger crossed. Enjoy my yard!

You can see what the "intruder" has been up to

My Gnome has proven to not be such a good protector.

Early cilantro

Now that's what you call new tree growth!

Audrey ~ My Kittybaby

I feel like you might not know who my baby is, I mean, my kittybaby, and not knowing who she is means you don't fully know who I am. Her full name is Audrey Hepburn Dufour "Shamu" Austin. Audrey Hepburn because she's wearing a tuxedo and she's classy like that, Dufour is my maiden name and hers as well; once you marry me, you marry my furbaby! Shamu is because shes just fat, but I think she's perfect and Austin is her new last name. A few more names might come into play at some point, but I'll stop here for now. Her nicknames vary. Right now she is either My Boo or Booger Boo. Sometimes I say boo in this high pitched squeak which I think is hilarious, but Sam (hus-band) does not.

I think that's enough at this point, I'll continue soon on the never ending story that is Audrey...

can you see her beauty mark on her nose? classy

More of my new home

k ok, its been a while and I know it. The last pics I posted on here of my new home were the ones I stole off the HAR.com website. It's been about 4 months now since we moved in and it feels like we've always been here. Every room is complete except for one, the office. That one will take some time. Anyways, I have to thank my mother-in-law for spending all here (non)extra time helping us unpack, hang pictures and ladders, dig up that garden and use her awesome decorating style to complete our home. She is for hire btw, send me an email if your interested. Now I am by no means an architect photographer, but I try, so no judgements.

So here are some updates:

Front of the house at sunrise.

We lost a tree, don't worry it was already dead. At this moment, the guy was still strapped to the top of the tree. So much fun to watch!

Living room and kitchen.

Sam and Maggie. See out shelves up top? Maggie did all that.

Hanging ladders.

As they say on MTV Cribs, where the magic happens. Now imagine me jumping backwards in slow motion onto the bed...

Can you see me in the reflection? Yup, I'm in my PJ's. Got a problem with that?

The Glorious Closet. Shoes!

Oh ya, and that's my jewelry closet. I made it all by myself.

Walk way from the living room to the back. Also the back door is behind Sam.

Back sitting room, soon to become music room.

Guest bath.

Back porch with sexy lighting.

This is how we spend out time when we get home from work.

The intruder that keeps eating my herbs! And I thought it was one of the millions of neighborhood cats, nope. I lost my rosemary and dill because of him, but I'll try again soon.
