Lacie’s bridal

I have been photographing Lacie’s family for several years, her mom/dad, sisters…etc.   When I met Lacie she was still competing at Miss Texas USA. She has modeled for a long time, we actually did a few ads together for some jewelry and clothing companies.

Well, Lacie got married. She wanted me to do her bridal portraits so I did. No matter our fashion/pageant history together, Lacie is a flower child and she loves vintage..and she love peace signs, and she loves flowers..  Photographing Lacie’s bridal required a “throw-back” style and coloration and to tell you the truth, I do enjoy doing that sometimes. Anyway, I hope you enjoy looking at a few photos from her session.

The first image is that one that she chose for her main bridal portrait. this dress was handmade by a family friend/dressmaker of her family. Her name is Rupa and she is incredible. The dress is made out of exquisite french lace and the belt was hand sewn from a bunch of natural stone necklaces that Lacie procured. Each stone type has some meaning around “love”. I have never seen a bridal belt like this before and it is truly beautiful.  Makeup, of course, was provided by Maris Malone Calderon, who I work with ALL THE TIME. She does makeup for about 95% of my clients that wear makeup. I think only a few of my brides were not able to book her in time. So if you need makeup, call Maris but book early!

Finley is back

Last time I saw Finley, she was 6 months old and I also did her 4 day old newborn portrait as well. Now, she is back and she is 1 !!! Holy cow – how the time flies.  They live pretty far away and it is a long drive to get to me but when I think it was worth it.
I love her mom, Jen. She is one of my biggest supporters and I just love her so much. Anyway, I think these are so much fun and I just loved photographing her-she is so full of life!

Austin Wedding Day Magazine -May/June 2012

Latest Cover of Austin Wedding Day Magazine has just hit the bookstands. I saw them at Barnes + Noble this week. It is so exciting every time that a new cover that I have photographed hits the bookstands. Anyway, HD (our groom) is from Neal Hamil Agency in Houston, Texas and our lovely bride is Bailey from The Campbell Agency in Dallas.

The crew…usual. The fabulous team of Maris Malone Calderon on makeup, Jen Hoover on hair, Edith Henry (also represented by The Campbell Agency) on styling and Ray Swarts as photo assistant.

Well I truly love photographing their covers, they are so much fun for me and I do love bridal fashion! Enjoy.
