April 10, 2018 marked our second year as husband and wife! Our celebration included a stay at the immaculate Hotel Alessandra, a movie date, massages and relaxation time at Fiori Day Spa, being chauffeured in a Maserati (SO FREAKING COOL) to dinner at the impeccable Potente Restaurant in downtown Houston, brunch at Bosscat Kitchen & Libations, which is now one of our favorite brunch spots, and ultimately, just enjoying each other's company. :) Also, we couldn't celebrate a milestone without some pictures, so in true Josh & Mikala fashion, we set up our tripod for some fancy selfies. ;) 

Baby Talon, welcome to the world! We met you in your momma's tummy a few weeks before you decided to join us, and we were so excited to finally see you! 

Christine lost her father in late 2017, so when she decided to do her maternity photos, Christine had the wonderful idea to honor and dedicate the photos to her later father. Seeing as he had been the pilot of Apache helicopters during his time in the military, what better way to honor him than to take photos with the very choppers that he flew! We knew that this was a very special and powerful session, and were all in when she pitched us the idea. I am glad that we were allowed on base, because we LOVE her session and the meaning behind the setting! 

Sweet Samara made her grand entrance on February 21, almost exactly two weeks before her due date! Rumor has it, Samantha even drove herself to the hospital since Tito was at work- beast mode! We were so thrilled to be able to meet this teeny one on her 6th day, and are in love with her and the memories of her that we were able to capture for their family!

Mika (Meek-a, I've got your back, girl- I understand the struggle lol) and James were just the absolute sweetest couple! They had their very intimate ceremony and reception on December 30, right before the new year, and boy, we couldn't think of a better way to start the new year than married to your best friend! The place was all smiles, and a few tears as sweet Mika and James said their "I do"'s, and tied blue ribbon around each others' fingers to signify their promise to love and cherish each other through the good and the bad, through sickness and in health, which, I am positive meant more to this couple than we realized at the time.

So many congratulations to Diedra & Deoh'Andre on their recent engagement! This sweet couple was such fun to work with, and Diedra's lively spirit definitely brightened our day. :)

Nelly & Rene were the perfect couple to work with! The love that they had for each other radiated from their smiles, Rene knew just how to make Nelly laugh, and they looked just incredible, which made for simply stunning photos!

We had such a fun time at the pumpkin patch with Brittany, Mitch, and their two cuties, Cooper & Brielle at their mini session! Cooper was SO GOOD at saying "Cheese!" We have to give him major kudos there, for sure. ;)

The scene was set, the crowds had cleared, and in that moment when they walked up the steps, the only people in the world were Jorge and Kelley. Jorge dropped to his knee asking for Kelley to share the rest of her life with him, his face radiating with the elation of hearing her response.
