Hearing Theresa tell hers and Travis’ story, it all came about pretty simply.
One day waiting outside of a class at UNT she heard this guy playing guitar. She loves music and plays guitar herself, so she sat down beside him to listen. Before she knows it they’ve struck up a conversation and before parting ways Travis asks for her number, ya know, just in case they should ever want to play music together . . . On campus that same day a group was handing out plastic purple and white bracelets to students and randomly enough both Theresa and Travis separately ended up with one. And both of them kept those bracelets because it had been a noteworthy day.
It turns out they still wear those bracelets to this very day (and are in fact wearing them in these engagement photos) because after that day they were Theresa-and-Travis.
Theresa and Travis, I wish you both the happiest of engagements as you make your way toward your destination wedding later this year!
Sweet Scarlett’s two-year-old portraits are hopefully an accurate portrayal of what her second-year of life will hold — lots of giggles, running around  and some downright fierce fashion sense (courtesy of momma).
Happy second year of life, Scarlett!
This December I had the pleasure of going to New Braunfels to photograph Quinn’s senior portraits around the town. I could tell from our initial e-mail interactions that I was going to love working with this girl, but when I finally got to meet vivacious, bursts-of-laughter, gorgeous, suh-WEET-as-can-be Quinn in person and heard her plans for the session locations there was no doubt that this was going to undoubtedly be one of my favorite senior sessions to date.
It wouldn’t be a proper New Braunfels photo shoot without the river making an appearance.
Next up was downtown New Braunfels.
As much as I loved shooting at the river and in downtown New Braunfels, I think my favorite part of the session was when we headed out to the farm Quinn’s family lived on when they first moved to New Braunfels. Just from talking to Quinn and her parents I could tell this location held many memories and so much meaning to all of them.
 Thank you, thank you, Quinn for having me come out to New Braunfels to take some photos during this exciting season of your life. I’m so excited for all that is in store for you as you finish up your senior year and head off to Baylor in the fall!
In case you missed the last blog post of this gorgeous couple’s rainy day wedding, be sure to check it out here. Because the clouds opened up and let out a complete downpour on Ashlei and Jesse’s wedding day I had no idea what we were going to do about bride-groom portraits. It was a fully outdoor venue and my flash equipment wasn’t going to hack it exposed to a rainstorm, plus the bride and groom were soaked to the bone. I thought about this mini-predicament throughout the entire reception because there was NO WAY a couple was going to go to the trouble of flying JZP all the way from Texas to Georgia and NOT end up with any bride-groom portraits. Then it hit me — perhaps it would be sunny again TOMORROW and perhaps Ashlei and Jesse would be game for waking up early for a day after photo session, and perhaps our ride back into Atlanta wouldn’t mind pushing back our scheduled departure time to accommodate such a plan.
Seeing as how God is good, Ashlei and Jesse are awesome, and our ride back to Atlanta just happened to be the bride’s super-sweet parents, everything came together and we were able to do bride-groom portraits in THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SUNSHINE the next morning at the wedding venue.
Are they not two of the most beautiful people you’ve EVER SEEN?
Happy/contented sigh. Love. Just love everything about the above image.
It’s just crazy how perfectly everything fell into place after what seemed like everything first falling out of place.
Ashlei and Jesse — I couldn’t have asked for better clients to work with. I’m convinced that you two and all of your family have GOT to be some of the nicest people in all of Georgia. On one of the most important weekends of your lives, you took the time to make me and James feel like family. And we’re so thankful to have been a part.
