We have known Jackson since he was 11 years old, playing drums for the church youth band. He is an incredible musician who participates in the Houston Youth Symphony. When you think of Jackson, you think of DRUMS. For this senior session, he even brought his own kit to the shoot.
Kendall and Blake live in New Braunfels, which happens to be a gorgeous location for an engagement shoot! We chose Landa Park, and the diverse scenery, beautiful park, changing leaves, and breathtaking, hill-country, landscape serve as a stunning backdrop. We look forward to celebrating their wedding with them in June!
You haven’t SEEN stunning until you’ve seen Davanie & Billy’s maternity session. This Galveston photo session was so dreamy, with the natural light setting just right through the pillars of the pier, and Davanie & Billie were absolutely glowing.
This couple could NOT have picked a more beautiful venue for their shoot! The Peach Orchard is brimming with lovely backdrops and dazzling scenery. Melissa and Joe are super sweet and easy-going, giving off a calm excitement that shines through in their photographs. The classy, modern, décor gave this shoot an upscale vibe.
Our associate, Megan, did this session and we’re thrilled on how it turned out! Ella and Megan met and serve together at Valiant Church on Galveston island, where Ella has invited many of her college friends. Ella’s studies and tattoos were driven by her passion for the ocean, so naturally, she wanted to her photos to showcase that passion by taking some photos right on the beach near Galveston Pleasure Pier.
After graduation, she plans to continue her post-grad studies at Oceans Research Institute in South Africa. (how cool!) We can’t wait to see your success and adventures, Ella!
