Baby Melton – Gender Reveal Party

brittney — Mon, 20 May 2013 18:15:33 +0000

We were waiting for this party for what seemed like forever… it was a long week. We got to see Baby Melton this past Tuesday and had to wait 4 whole days (torture) to tell everyone. I mean, I put it on myself haha… but it was still hard none-the-less.

I wanted to do something a little different than I had normally seen. I had always seen the theme of “Mister or Miss” and loved it. I made cute lips and bow-tie photo props and brought out the Oh Snap photo booth which seemed like fun for everyone :)

The “Reveal” was where I wanted to get unique. I saw this photo on Pinterest and loved the idea of reveal the color in a confetti popper. I’ll post more tutorials that I found online below.

We had a great time and I’m so thankful and blessed at all the people that came.

SO, would it be blue or pink ;)

It’s a…

Miranda & Brian: Wedding

This wedding was perfect. We ALL were praying for rain to stay away and it did! The weather was perfect.

Miranda & Brian found the perfect spot to hold their quaint intimate garden wedding with close friends and family. Sycamore Heights B&B really is beautiful. The flowers were to die for – quite literally I wanted to take photos of them all day. Gorgeous! So, get ready for photo overload :)

It was such a great celebration and I loved being there.

such a sweet first look

every little detail was so perfect

Bump II…

My family has been asking… so I’m going to post more bump pics!! :)

We find out in exactly ONE WEEK from today the gender… Boy/Girl? Any guesses?

We’ll be having a gender reveal party back home with our family and I will be sure and post more photos of the party AND of course reveal if it was Boy/Girl… BUT… after the party! Derik and I are so excited!

It’s so amazing to me the difference in just even 1 month! WOWZAS!

Alison & Matt: Engagements

Saturday was a beautiful day. I was really worried because the last half of the week was really cold and windy. The cold was gone and it was a perfect spring evening when I met up with Alison & Matt.

Alison & Matt actually both went to University of Nebraska… BUT, they didn’t meet there. Their love of teaching brought them all the way to Houston, TX through a school program. They both teach here and met through friends once they were here in Texas. I don’t know about you, but that’s amazing!

They are getting married this next summer in Colorado where Alison’s family lives. Sounds amazing… A summer wedding in Colorado.

They had some amazing ideas and even incorporated their love of teaching through some cute and unique photos!

they’re so cute and fun!

Amanda & Brent: Engagements

brittney — Mon, 06 May 2013 16:06:53 +0000

Amanda & Brent were so much fun to hang out with this last Saturday morning. Brent is in the U.S. Navy Band and plays trombone. They’ll be getting married this July and since Brent had a little bit of leave, they decided to get in some engagement photos while he was back in town.

They both met at University of Houston at the School of Music. Amanda is a 6th grade band director… so they both are doing what they love. Music. I’ve never been on the campus at UofH and it was a beautiful morning… perfect weather really. We also managed to head to Discovery Green for some fun photos as well.

I hope you guys had a great time!

Dana & Scott: Wedding

brittney — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 15:00:19 +0000

Dana & I go way back – all the way to High School (and really probably even before that!). I was so honored to be there through it all – from their engagements… her amazing bridals, and her lovely wedding. The wedding day called for rain and it held off just for Dana & Scott.

I always love coming back to Star Ranch as well… it’s where Derik and I had our reception, so it holds lots of memories for the both of us :)

I hope y’all are enjoying yourselves and taking in the sun in DR this week! You’ll LOVE IT! Congratulations Newlyweds!

ha Scott!

GORGeous! :)

Dana: Bridals

brittney — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 17:00:02 +0000

I met up with Dana a couple months ago at Chateau Bellevue… and OH MY GOSH what a place. It’s amazing and I highly recommend it. I loved shooting here and Dana made my job easy! Thanks Chateau Bellevue!

Dana & Scott were married yesterday and I’m so excited I can finally share!

Brandy & Cyrus: Just Because

brittney — Mon, 15 Apr 2013 19:20:49 +0000

I met up with Brandy & Cyrus in good ‘ol Montgomery Texas this weekend… now doesn’t that sound country :)

They wanted to get in some bluebonnet photos this spring – just because. And, Montgomery, you did not disappoint.

We had a great afternoon with seriously amazing weather… Houston, will you hold out on Summer temps just a bit longer!?

Bump…

I’ve been taking a photo a week (well, trying to remember) since we had our first appointment. At 8 weeks, I just grabbed my hubby’s iphone, so – it’s “our” first picture ever, and also my least favorite – haha – oh well! I’m glad I have it. It was the day after we first met you :)

It’s so crazy to see the growth in just a couple of months. I’m 16 weeks TODAY and have about ONE more month to find out if this little one is a boy or girl!

We can’t WAIT to see you again!

Lauren & Russell: Wedding

brittney — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 15:30:31 +0000

This past Saturday I had the honor of photographing Lauren & Russell’s wedding. Their friends and family were more than excited to be there to celebrate and ended up dancing the night away.

The ceremony was held at St. Mary’s Catholic Church and the place was gorgeous! Lovely ceremony for a super fun couple. Lauren & Russell made this day their own and had tons of fun surprises throughout the night.

Lauren & Russell – so glad I was there! Enjoy your cruise and have a blast!

ummm… wowzas girl!
