Great Engagement Session at a fun new location. These 2 are very in love and very cute together. I LOVE that they thought ahead and brought things they wanted to incorporate into their session. I am excited to share these images! xo

It is still hot and sunny here in Texas!

I am doing the happy dance because I am getting things check off this scary “to do” list! So excited to share baby Brody Gabrysch’s first LHP Session. He is 3 months old. (was when we shot the session!) I am already looking forward to month 6, 9,  and 12. Not only is Brody a precious baby with big blue eyes, but his parents are so so so sweet. I feel like I have known them forever. I actually remember Kelly as being one of the “nice and cool high school cheerleaders” when I moved to Cuero. I feel nerdy say that, but it is true! ha ha- now you know There is no better way to end a session than meeting at a favorite hometown restaurant for margaritas– cheers… looking forward to next time! xo

Really- it didn’t end. We all went out and partied after I know these posts were a picture overload, but I loved so many!!!

And the real fun begins! Good food, great friends, and lots and lots of beer.

I told you I had a lot of pictures to share! Stay tuned for one more wedding post tomorrow. (hopefully)

Dayum- weddings are a lot of work- but  I LOVE IT! This wedding was extra special to me since I have known everyone involved forever. I am splitting the wedding up into 3 blog posts, because I picked so many images I wanted to share. Here is the first. enjoy! xo

“Laugh often, long, and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

And, if you have a friend who makes you laugh, spend lots and lots of time with them.”

This quote is so true, and I am so fortunate to get to have grown up with and laugh often with these 2 great friends. Megan has been my best friend since 3rd grade… Kelby has been another best friend since 7th grade. Conveniently- he and Brandon have also been best friends since elementary school! We have many crazy memories and have literally been there for each other through everything. We Cuero kids like to date forever and then finally get married…after dating for years, Megan and Kelby are tying the knot in April 2012! I can’t wait to be there to make a sappy speech and get down on the dance floor. It is definitely going to be a partaaay! Heading to Port Aransas was an easy choice for this beach loving couple. It took me a while to get these pics edited, but it was worth it. I loved this session and I love these 2 people. xoxo

Sweet sweet baby Grant. This has been a crazy year for the little Bell family. A wedding, a house, a baby, a new job! crazy crazy.

This little guys is loved very much. We are all so happy he is finally here. xoxoxo

Happy Happy Baby Levi!! Such a joy. Gotta run but really wanted to share today!!! xoxoxo

“I hear babies cry, and I watch them grow, They’ll learn much more than I’ll ever know. And I think to myself, what a wonderful world.”

He is here! He is here! So beautiful and perfect. The Holland Crew is now complete. Big sister Annie and big brothers Sam & Jack couldn’t have been more excited to welcome baby Nate into the world. ahhh- life is good!

Very Proud Aunt Haley & Uncle Brandon

This is where I would normally say “I am so excited to meet baby Nate!” BUT–I am so far behind on editing that I have just completed his newborn session. ha

I am so lucky to be part of this amazing family. We have all been blessed with the birth of baby Nate- I am a very proud Aunt! I just learned that his name, “Nathaniel”, means a gift from God. That couldn’t be more true.

Suz really didn’t have a choice on doing a maternity shoot- isn’t she gorgeous!! ?? Big sister Annie wanted to get in on the photography action. Again- I am a very proud aunt!! xo
