Christian & Aryn’s nerdy engagement photos at Meyer Park.
When you’re into things like medieval swords & helmets, you bring them to your engagement portraits! I had so much fun playing around with portrait ideas that involved the props Christian & Aryn brought. I had to bring my spawn along for the ride as well, and he enjoyed setting up a pose or two.

As I finish editing Jared & Liz’s wedding photos from a couple of weeks ago, I am reminded of their adorable engagement session at Kleb Woods. It felt like the beginnings of summer (though it was only April) when we met up. It was already hot and sticky… apparently an omen for the summer to come. We were in Jared’s element as we explored the forest. I really wanted to take some photos on the bridge, but it was under construction.

Payton and Katlyn chose to explore a new brewery both in location and taste buds for their engagement portraits. It was a gorgeous afternoon when I met them at Walking Stick Brewery, North of 610. I loved the contrast of the metal and old machinery against the fresh hydrangea bouquets placed on every table and the winter wonderland like sculpture affixed to the ceiling.
I loved getting to see the couple goof off and truly be themselves in front of the camera. I asked them to do some crazy stuff, and they didn’t even blink an eye… maybe they’re born with it, or maybe it was the liquid courage?

Brad & Christy’s Brazos Bend park engagement portraits were set on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. The birds were chirping and the bees were busy pollinating. Spring had officially sprung!
I enjoyed walking around to some of the places I’ve been before and exploring some new locations within the park. Check out the engagement photos below.
Brad & Jenny’s engagement photos at the Menil Collection grounds
I have lived almost my entire life here in Houston and I have never, until recently, even known about the gorgeous Menil collection grounds. Jenny suggested the location for their engagement photos. There was so much to see in the area. I’m also a sucker for old oak trees, especially ones who’s branches touch the ground.
At the end of this week, Brad and Jenny will marry. Happy wedding week to this amazing couple!

There is a unique place as your heading out to Galveston that I have wanted to stop at and take photos for a while now. I was so excited when Leighton and Heather agreed to be my guinea pigs. So, before heading to the beach, I met up with the couple at the marshes.
When we got to the beach, I found out that Leighton & Heather could dance. When I say dance, I mean intense quasi-acrobatic swing-dancing. They showed me their sweet, sweet dance moves (which I captured) then we walked down to the jetties, which I’ve been intrigued about for a while now. There, I got into some trouble with the lifeguard because I kept standing where I wasn’t supposed to stand, and I asked Leighton and Heather to stand where they weren’t supposed to… who knew there were so many rules around the jetties?
It was a gorgeous day when we set out to hike the Hermann Park trails to take engagement portraits. So gorgeous (compared the the previous days) in fact that it felt like half of Houston had the same idea. The park was swarming with people, but the further into the park we got, the fewer people we came across.
We hiked from the zoo parking lot all the way to Rice University where the azalea’s were in full bloom.
