Yusuf

Yet another indoor session on the blog! 

I love having friends from all cultures. I met Ilknur at a friends baby shower one day and completely fell in love with her kindness and personality. I hadn't seen her throughout her whole pregnancy and this week I went to say goodbye before I depart to Chile. Her son, Yusuf is already 3 months old! I hate to miss so many memories of people I wish I was closer to, but in the end I know I am privileged to live the life I do. Ilknur and her husband are from Turkey, she has a bachelor’s in early developmental education and is currently pursuing her master’s degree! She is a kind and gentle soul. She says that Yusuf makes her smile every day. She loves motherhood. We had a sweet time together in  which Ilknur and I just chatted, took some candid pictures and talked about our lives and family. It is incredible how similar we really are no matter where we come from. Enjoy this indoor session :)

Kinser- Indoor session

Indoor sessions have become a favorite of mine and I was very excited when Jennifer reached out to me wanting to do an indoor session with both of her kids. Blake and Olivia are years apart, but make the sweetest siblings. Together they had loads of fun. They ate donuts, played inside Blake’s teepee, and hung out with mom. Is there anything better? I want to mention that I had the privilege to document this session with my sister Ericka during the thanksgiving break. She made an awesome assistant and wanted to give her the appropriate credit! Who knows, maybe she can join the team in the future eh? :) For now enjoy these two siblings who had a blast hanging out at the comfort of their home.

Ashley + Mike

Can you imagine driving down to Corsicana, TX, shoot an engagement session and coming back to Houston all in one day? Well.. we did that twice that weekend! First it was Nacogdoches with Lindsey and Jason and then Ashley and Mike met us in downtown Corsicana from Dallas, TX. We were both traveling and let me just say that it was a fun adventure!

Mike and Ashley met in New Mexico where she is now a school teacher and he is in law enforcement. They will be wed in just a couple more weeks and we will drive once again to document their love. I am so excited for these two! They could not stop laughing during their session and that just makes my heart happy. Congrats Ashley and Mike! Can’t wait for your wedding! :)
