Grace - Baby

A few weeks ago I had the privilege of shooting some photos of a newborn, almost at the very time of her birth. Meet Grace. The latest addition to the McConaughey clan and the first girl for Karen and Brian. Having gone through a delivery myself just five months ago, I was surprised and in awe of Karen's bravery having a photographer in the room with her just after an experience like this. However, this is also why I felt so honored to do something like this for her. The room was filled with all sorts of fabulous emotions as her family walked in to meet little Grace for the first time. It was hard to hold back tears myself as I did this shoot... So worth it!

With Karen also being a photographer, I'm sure Grace is going to be the SECOND most photographed baby I know :-)

Congratulations Karen and the rest of the McConaughey family. Little Grace is absolutely perfect and beautiful.

Negron - Huddleston Wedding - San Juan

Wow. Where do I start? This past weekend I traveled to beautiful San Juan for an absolutely fabulous wedding joining Jim and Yeishi. As a photographer, you know it's going to be a good day when the bride is this much fun to be around. Like so many of my brides, Yeishi is just so beautiful and fun, she just lights up any room she enters. And to see her and Jim together is always so endearing. As I've been saying for so long, whenever a couple has this level of chemistry, you're always going to get some fantastic photos. Here is another shining example of this.

I want to congratulate the Kiernan, Huddleston, and Negron families and thank them for the warm hospitality and upbeat atmosphere they always generate. I know from experience that these people know how to have a wedding... And it's always going to be unforgettable.

Most of all, congratulations to Jim and Yeishi. May you have the most rewarding and treasured moments going forward together as man and wife. And Jim, don't forget to "go Roth!"

Chapin - Pair Wedding

Saturday, we shot a wedding with a theme I don't get a lot of; pure country. Located in Tomball, TX is a small little place called Oakland Farm & Ranch. (yes, it's THAT country :-). It's a quaint outdoor venue for the most part with a small chapel and a room or two for receptions when they need to be indoors. The beauty of this place is in the ranch though. Vast open areas all around for taking photos that are so peaceful, green and full blue skies.

This is the venue of choice for Robin and Sam whom, up until Saturday, I hadn't even met except for a conversation over the phone. What a perfect pair they are too; so sweet and bright with smiles. It was a beautiful evening and a perfect Texas-style wedding for sure.

Congratulations Robin and Sam!
