Russell and Jubilee Engagement Sneak Peek

I'm so excited to work on the pics we took this morning. (too bad I'm way behind on editing) We had so much fun and Russell and Jubilee were amazing subjects with great ideas for locations in downtown Houston. They're getting married in Cozumel in November and Kris and I can't wait! Here's a sneak peek from their engagement session.

Torget Family is back in Texas (and they brought a little one!)

I'm pretty behind on editing, but stay tuned in the next couple weeks for the Torget Family. They're good friends of ours that just moved back to Texas from Virginia. We're so happy to have them closer to home!

Beth and Robert and Baby J on the way

Ok, here they are! My first maternity pics, and all in all, I'm pretty happy with them. We started down at the marina at April Sound.

the cutest, tiny, glowing, beautiful mom to be!
love this one! she's almost 9 mos in these pics, can you believe it!!??
they're a couple you don't even have to know and you can still feel so happy that they found each other
"prego on the dock of a bay..." what, don't think that's funny? :)
they are seriously this cute, all the time!
on the golf course at April Sound...
I don't think this mom is going to be wearing mom-jeans!!
so funny, when Beth first saw this, she said "I need to clean my windows", but I think the light is beautiful
possibly my favorite shot of the day, she's beautiful and glowing!
or maybe it was this one, so sweet!
I love his hand on her belly


Thanks again to Beth and Robert for being my guinea pigs! Especially Beth being such a good sport with my "sit here", "lay there", "now move over here". Congrats!!
