Anna Beth + Samantha | Portraits

I met Anna Beth and Samantha yesterday for their portrait-roommate session....and you will soon find out they are amazing. These lovely ladies are sophomores at Abilene Christian University and are studying graphic design! (Once again fulfilling my belief that graphic designers are the bomb... period).

Have you ever heard of the theory that you are connected by 7 degrees of seperation? Or is it 3 degrees...anyways, whenever I meet people through interesting ways I contemplate how much truth that theory contains. For instance, I actually got married at Anna Beth's home/wedding venue! That's right, they live in a beautiful plantation! If anybody is getting married in the Austin area and you are wanting a dreamlike atmosphere, the best wedding coordinator, and just pure perfection--you need to check out, The Plantation House. I did and loved every bit of it. :) 

Thanks girls for asking me to help capture your friendship! I wish people did these sessions more frequently...I had a blast getting to know you both :D.

Enjoy!

PS---This pink chair, we found on the side of the road!! A true surprise :)

:D 

Don't they have the best hair?

Oh la la!

Above: I LOVE the lighting in this photo...the soft lighting on Anna Beth is just perfection! And how Samantha's hair is blowing!! Yessss haha

Below: Now, these next two photos were totally my crazy idea...I just thought the idea was so fun! Thanks for doing it for me :)

:)

You two, without a doubt, spectacular. Thank you so much for asking me to do this fun shoot!! 

Hope you had as much fun as I did...haha :)

belinda + matt | engagement

I met Belinda and Matt yesterday for their splendid engagement session. We took photos in Abilene, drove around, and all the while I got to cuddle, pet and love on their adorable four-month old dachshund (weiner dog)! Belinda is about to start student teaching, she wants to be a middle school math teacher. Matt is studying to be a high school counselor! Awesome right? They actually have known each other since high school! 

So everyone, may I happily introduce Belinda, Matt and Bella :). 

Above: Check out those cute skin rolls on her legs! So adorable :) 

Beautiful eyes!!

Below: And my favorite pic from their session!! Way to go Ann Thai Restaurant :) 

Thank you both so much for asking me to take your engagements! I wish you both the best with school, moving, student teaching, and starting your new life together :D

And I can't wait for your bridals Belinda!! :)
