Clark/Foster Wedding; part ONE

This post is bittersweet.

On one hand, it is my last official wedding for the year- unless someone super special comes along or someone super local (as in wedding will be in Brenham:).

As mentioned in a previous post below, I've decided to take some time away from the wedding scene and put more of my energy and talents into life here on the farm.

Boy did I go out with a BANG! I was blessed to photograph a killer wedding at Westin La Cantera in San Antonio. This wedding proved once again why I LOVE outside weddings. This resort is extremely gorgeous. The bride and groom were all smiles. I've never met a sweeter couple. This combination set the tone for a wonderful and fun-filled day.

I have seriously never had this many pre-ceremony favorites. But, I thought that since this was my last, I'd post my favorites from each category.

I'm working on putting up the entire wedding on my photoreflect site. You will be able to view all of the photos from this wedding HERE.

Groom seeing Bride for the first time......I highly recommend this pre-ceremony!

Baby McKlayne

I had the blessing of photographing a precious baby girl a few days ago. This little girl is extra precious to me, because I feel as though I've known her mommy and daddy for as long as I can remember.

I have photographed them as an engaged couple, married folks, new parents, a family (see below- Apel fam), and now they've added a second.

Meet McKlayne- don't you just LOVE this name???? She is an absolute doll in every sense of the word. There is just something about babies with dark brown and black hair- beautiful!!!!

I visited her mommy for almost 2 hours and didn't hear this little girl cry one single time. McKlayne is such a good and sweet baby.

Infant photography is always fun for me. You just show up and go with it. You must be flexible and ready to get to know the mommy really well. Kirby and I are already dear friends, so that was an added bonus to visit with her.

She even let me put her precious girl on top of a dresser. We did, however, choose the lower of the two that were options. I kept imagining the session had I not known her. It would be a bit awkward to place a complete stranger's baby on top of a piece of furniture and move them all over the place. But, thankfully I love babies and are pretty comfortable with them and Kirby is the most laid back mommy I know.

Here are some photos I snapped during my visit! And for more from the session CLICK HERE. There were so many good one. I had a hard time just choosing TWELVE!

Melissa & Luke; wedding

This was my first official Brenham wedding!

Lillian Farms is beautiful which made Luke & Melissa's wedding even more beautiful.

Here are a few of my favorites from the day:

Precious.

I'm a loser in a major way!

It has been forever since I've updated this blog. I've been busy with farm stuff- website, logo, chores, etc.

So, if you are still out there, thanks for stopping by.

I had a precious friend come and visit me over the weekend. We had a blast! I snapped some of her perfect little girl, Sadie.

Sadie is a sweetie pie! She definitely makes me look good in these photos. There were so many good ones of her it was hard to choose.

These were taken out on our farm in front of the brooder house. I am in love with the de-saturated look in these photos. Can you tell? I normally don't de-sat every single photo, but it just worked with the look we were trying to achieve. And then I loved the vivid color punch in the color ones.

I hope you enjoy!
