LeeAnn + SidaLee

The following pictures tell a story. The story of a love so deep that rocks every woman. It is the deepest of human loves. I am speaking of the love of a mother and her child.

I’ve had the privilege to know this woman throughout most of my young adult life. I watched her grow into a beautiful woman. I watched her as she became a momma. I watched her as pain and hurt came into her life unexpectedly. I watched as she felt the loss of so many things around her. I watched her as she faced so many questions. In the midst of it all, she chose mercy and grace. She chose wisdom and truth. She is one of the bravest souls I know.

I hope these pictures give a small glimpse to the wonderful woman and momma she is. She is raising a young giant with a faith that can move mountains. I am so proud to call her a friend. SidaLee has the best momma!

“Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last;
    but a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised. "

Trevor + Patricia

On this cold, rainy, winter flurry day , let me introduce you to Patricia and Trevor. They rocked their session at Discovery Green and even though it was a warm and muggy morning, you definitely cannot tell ! Let this lovely engagement session warm up your chilly November (almost) snowy day. :)

Jackie + Robert

As an artist, there comes a time where you will face a road block. For a writer they face “writer’s block”, for the rest, we are simply facing the unknown. Many of us fear to get to that point. After becoming a mother I realized that I had lost my passion for photography. I was a little scared of continuing to pursue my art; I was afraid that I had faced a creative block of no return. 

Fast forward ten months and I am in Galveston with Jackie and Robert, shooting their engagement session. I had done a few sessions this year already, including a wedding in the summer. Yet, this felt a little different. I saw the light and like God says in His book, I saw that it was good! I saw alleys, shadows, colors…But above all, I saw two people in love. This was worth it all. Galveston gave me a little push to press on, to realize that a “block” is not necessarily the end. 

I met Jackie a few years back. Her sweet soul captivates the hardest of hearts. I believe her and Robert will be one of those love stories that are told from generation to generation. It is impossible to have a road block when a sweet loving couple makes Galveston shine.

Congratulations Jackie and Robert, I can’t wait for your Christmas wedding!
