Lauryn and Tim were married at the lovely Ashelynn Manor Last Sunday and it was absolutely magical. The weather had predicted 80% chance of rain, but with the adorable chapel and lavish reception hall it didn't pose a problem. Luckily, the day could not have been more beautiful and we were Blessed with beautiful skies that allowed us to utilize the stunning outdoor areas this venue has to offer as well.

When Tim won Lauryn's hand in marriage- He wanted to go to Disney!

Blake Gets a Brother | The Woodlands Maternity Photography | Sunlit Maternity Session

You might remember The Parker's from past favorite sessions of mine. They are stylish and fun with a loving bond, and I am always excited to document their milestones. As a portrait photographer there is nothing that makes me happier than seeing your family grow. Creating a bond with your children makes our time shooting fun, relaxing, and enjoyable for all of us! I love all of the little (and big) friends I have made throughout my photography journey. With your permission I do provide non messy snacks and fun trinkets like stickers or bubbles at the end of our session. My goal is for your portrait session to be a fun family outing where mom looks her best, dad is so proud of the unit he created, and your children leave with big grins and hopes for another session soon. I always have fun with my little pal, Blake and I can not wait to see how handsome his little brother will be. Brittany and Ryan are fabulous parents with an intense love for one another and hearing that they decided to expand their already perfect family made my heart happy. Upon discovering this new location I knew it would be ideal for their sunset maternity session in The Woodlands. I am always on the hunt for new and exciting locations that provide gorgeous natural light, cascading fields, and other beautiful landscapes we can utilize. Providing variety for my repeat clients is crucial to me, and also fulfilling as an artist. Here are a few favorite shots from their stunning maternity session. 

Rainy Day Engagement Session | Houston Area Wedding Photography | Lisa & Joey

While I do offer free in person consultations, sometimes the first time I meet the special couple {{who so carefully chose me to document their wedding day}} on the day of their engagement portraits. This was the case with Lisa & Joey, and I must say that I was immediately drawn to their quirky personalities. Their original session has been rescheduled due to rain and much to our surprise, the rain would show itself on their second attempt as well. After a quick regrouping we decided to stick it out and try to get some gorgeous rainy day shots. Lisa explained that their first date was very rainy, and it might have just been "meant to be that way". After seeing the results I couldn't agree more. Their images are intimate and lovely and warm despite the cool crisp air and sprinkles of rain that were upon us. Love conquers all.  Each of my wedding day packages does include a full engagement session, so if you are newly engaged I would love to chat with you more about what I offer and set up your very own couples portrait session showcasing the everlasting love you have for one another. Here are my favorite images from Lisa and Joey's engagement session located in The Woodlands, TX this past fall. I am anticipating a lot of love and laughter at their wedding later this year. 

Randal & Aaron's Sun Soaked Engagement Session | The Carriage House | Houston, Texas Wedding Photographer

One of the most exciting things about getting engaged is the portrait session that will follow. This is the perfect way to announce the big news to all of your friends and family, to show off the ring he so thoughtfully chose for you, and to capture this most exciting time in your lives. There is nothing more beautiful than a woman who's been genuinely complimented- and there is not a compliment more genuine than the proposal of marriage. Your engagement portrait session can be scheduled at your wedding venue, like Randal and Aaron chose- Or I am always happy to provide a list of location options as well.  When you do choose to shoot at the venue where you will say your "I do's" it gives me a chance to look over the space and plan out how I will best document your wedding day.  Each and every portrait session with Us Plus Love includes a complimentary styling consultation where we will discuss the overall look and feel you would like to portray through these heirloom images. Outfit changes are permitted as time allows. Here are my favorites from Randal and Aaron's Engagement session at their wedding venue, The Carriage House Houston. I hope you'll enjoy the love and warmth that are radiating from these two.
