Our 2nd Anniversary!
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. ;)

Josh said it so well in his Facebook post when he said, "We're new to the married club and know it's only been two years, but we're here to stay. Here's to many more."
^^^AWWWW, I LOVE YOU BABE!^^^
We are proud of how far we've come in our marriage, and are excited to see where God takes us in the future, and can't wait to share highlights of our life with you! Before you look at our adorable (am I biased?) photos, I'll leave you with this scripture that we had engraved into Josh's wedding band, and we do not take lightly:
"So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." Matthew 19:6
Soares Family
Mikala here! Rebekah is a coworker of mine, so when she came by my desk asking to have family photos done, I was pumped! First, we love fun families. Second, I love seeing my coworkers in real life, for non-work related occurrences!

As soon as the kids got out of the car, we knew this would be a good one. :) Bella & Michael have such fun personalities, and they really shined through their photos! They were such encouragers to mom and dad, and reminded dad to smile for real at the beginning when he was still warming up to the camera. ;) We love what we got here for the Soares family, and Rebekah is already planning her canvases!
Preparing for Baby Samara
Our dear friends, Samantha and Tito, are expecting baby Samara in March, and it was our honor to be part of this step of their lives! Sam looked so beautiful, and the boys were too precious in their matching outfits. ;) ALSO, Josh gained IV's favor when he stumbled upon a trick to make him laugh! (You can see IV just dying laughing in some of the pictures!)

We have absolutely loved being able to watch and photograph this growing family! Samara, you are truly so loved already, and I can guarantee, you are being born into such a wonderful family! We can't wait to meet you soon!
Much love,
Mikala & Josh
Christmas Mini Sessions!
This was our first year of mini sessions, and it is safe to say, we had a blast! We were able to spend time with so many wonderful families, and had so much fun getting to know our new clients and take more lovely photos of our previous clients. Needless to say, this year's minis were a huge success, and I can't wait to start planning for more minis in the future!

Angela & Mike
Having been victims of the floodwaters of Hurricane Harvey in August, Angela and Mike made the decision to have an intimate family wedding, in order to focus their attention on rebuilding their damaged home. On November 4, 2017, their plans came to fruition, and they had such a beautiful ceremony at Helen's Gardens in League City!

On November 4, 2017, their plans came to fruition, and they had such a beautiful ceremony at Helen's Gardens in League City! This fun couple truly made it a day that reflected their fun and light personalities, and Mike kept everybody rolling the whole afternoon with his quick wit. Before the wedding, Mike described the day as being "the happiest day of his life", and based on the ear to ear smiles on both of their faces, I don't doubt for a minute that his words were true. :)
Although the rain cut us a little short, their wedding day was absolutely gorgeous, and their love for one another was so evident and undeniable.
Angela & Mike, we hope that you had such a wonderful first Thanksgiving as husband and wife, and many, many more blessed holidays to come!

Azzams in the Pumpkin Patch!
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 Ellisons' Little Pumpkin!
Let me first say, we have absolutely loved being able to see little Emmy grow! (even if it only has been 3 months! haha) This little pumpkin was simply adorable in her strawberry costume, and in the words of Josh, "What. A. Doll!" You know you can't deny it!

Micale, sorry that Emmy just refused to smile for us, but that makes her no less precious! I mean look at that little sleeping angel! We can't wait to see this precious little face again soon!
Happy three months, little Emmy! Mikala & Josh love you! :D
Check out their mini session at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Pearland, TX!
Claudia & Aldo
It was a perfect day for a September wedding in my hometown of San Antonio! Claudia wanted a cultural celebration, and there is no better place than San Antonio, which is notorious for it's Texan and Hispanic culture!
It was a perfect day for a September wedding in my hometown of San Antonio! Claudia wanted a cultural celebration, and there is no better place than San Antonio, which is notorious for it's Texan and Hispanic culture! In the words of Claudia herself, "I couldn't take the family to Mexico, so I brought Mexico to them," and that she did. The vibrant colors of the flowers, the flirty fun of the traditional Mexican bridesmaids dresses, and the energy of San Antonio's Market Square oozed the culture that she was wanting in her special day. And you can't go to Market Square without a trip to the famous Mi Tierra, which is exactly where they topped off their celebration!
Although Claudia and Aldo had a private wedding ceremony, we were so honored to have been invited to take portraits of the family and the glowing couple! And aren't they just beautiful?
Claudia and Aldo, we wish you the very best in your marriage, and more blessings and joy than you can contain!

Ryan Family Vacation
We absolutely adored our time with the Ryan family! They decided to spend a relaxing weekend in Galveston (one of our most favorite places ever) for Fourth of July weekend, and I'm so glad they decided to take some photos of the family while they were down!

The twins, Abby & Aiden, were absolute dolls, and Jake was a ball of energy and personality! Thank you, Amy, for giving us the opportunity to spend some time with your family!
Juarez Family Photos
Annie and I have been coworkers for just over three years now, and before Josh and I even began our official photography business, she was one of the first people that was interested in having photos done! Needless to say, we were ecstatic when my she let me know that she and Jose wanted family photos this summer!

Needless to say, we were ecstatic when my she let me know that she and Jose wanted family photos this summer!
Annie and I went back and forth about where would be the best place for them, and what style of photos she wanted- Galveston or Houston? Urban or woodsy?Ultimately, I think we picked just the right spot. :)
We decided to try out Buffalo Bayou Park, right north of downtown Houston, where we were able to find the best of both worlds! A lush spot, right in the middle of the city, Buffalo Bayou Park allowed to get both great skyline pictures and photos in nature, and have fun while doing so! It was a great opportunity to explore one of Houston's gems, and it was evident that Justin and Sophia (and Jordan, the lovable French bulldog!) all loved the park as well.
Annie and Jose, I hope you love your pictures as much as we do! Anytime you want more family photos, we're totally in! :)
