5 Generations

We recently had the opportunity to photograph 5 generations of the Maggie Jimenez family. Maggie, her husband, daughter, son-in-law, and grandson were visiting from Georgetown, Texas to see Maggie's Mom and Grandmother. It was a blast. It was so funny watching the grandparents fighting over the grandson's attention and which one of them he was going to look at while I was taking photos. I cracked up several times.

Here a few of my favorites.

Sandra and Sal

We had the opportunity to photograph Sandra and Sal's engagement session recently, and it was a blast. The session was at South Padre Island, and of course, the weather didn't cooperate until the end. A norther had blown in earlier and it was cool and windy. I didn't realize how cool it was until on the walk back to the vehicles at sundown I noticed that Sandra's fingernails were purple. I didn't remember them being purple when we started. I found out that Sandra's fingernails turn purple when she gets cold, and it wasn't fingernail polish....sorry Sandra!

Turns out that both Sandra and Sal are Optometrists and they met in Med school. Sal whisked Sandra away to New York, where he proposed to her at the top of the Empire State Building! Way to go Sal! They are really wonderful people and we can't wait to do their wedding in August! It is going to be fun.

We got some beautiful shots even though the weather didn't cooperate very well and we got some really great silhouettes.

Christy and Richard's Wedding

In a previous post I mentioned what great fun we had at Christy and Richard's wedding. It was a blast.

There were so many photos to choose from (we took over 2,000!), but here are a few of my favorites.

This is a photo of the bonfire on the beach after the Rehearsal. It was a lot of fun making smores and hanging by the fire.....until it started raining!

This is a photo of Christy's hand while she was waiting to get her hair done.

Christy had her veil draped across this lamp. We turned the lamp on and used the light from the lamp for this photo. The veil was also in a place that made it easy to forget, which thank goodness her sister remembered. That are what sisters and brides maids are for...right?

This has got to be one of my all time favorite silhouette photos. While we were walking toward the beach, both Richard and I noticed that it was a full moon, and it was out. Richard wanted to make sure that I included the moon in some of the photos. In this photo it is between their faces, the sun was going down and every thing just lined up.

Thanks again Christy and Richard. Best wishes for you in your life together!
