Inspiration from Mr. Darcy--- College Station Engagement Photographie

when i talked to this super sweet bride-to-be, who also happens to be one of the dearest friends to me, she told me one of her only thoughts for their engagement session was this: she would love for part of them to be reminiscent of the infamous scene in Pride and Prejudice. you know the one. Elizabeth Bennet, after a shocking late night visit from Lady Catherine, takes a walk in the foggy sunrise, only to see Mr. Darcy walking purposefully in her direction through the fog, with the sun coming up behind him.... sigh. yes. i can honestly say i believe i've watched that movie at least thirty times.

cooking? Pride and Prejudice.
editing photos? Pride and Prejudice.
cleaning? Pride and Prejudice.
having a sad girly night? definitely Pride and Prejudice.
oh yes. introducing your significant male other to your favorite story? Pride and Prejudice.
absolutely.

love it.

we could not have had the most perfect morning for this shoot, either. field? check. stunning sunrise? check. slight fog?... we can push it and say yes, check.

this couple is getting married in May. i could NOT be more excited for their special day. angels in heaven will be rejoicing at their marriage. oh man. Jesus, look out. this couple is on fire for You!!

Roomie Love-- College Station, TX Photographie

it feels like this shoot was ages ago. just before Masterpiece in early March i hung out with these two beauties, Meg and Allison. we found a random spot on the side of the road and started shooting!

I know them from working first half of Pine Cove Christian Camps this past summer. they both have some of the sweetest, most genuinely transparent hearts i know. they love to laugh, and are (sorry for the repetition) just sweet sweet roommates to each other. not to mention, as you can see, they are just gorgeous people. love you both :)

Austin Photographie-- A Day With Becca

A little while back my sweet friend Becca came to visit. I told her as her rent for staying with us for a night, she had to let me take photos of her in downtown Austin. Who wouldn't want to? She is gorgeous. Becca is one of the most selfless and humble women I know, and loves Jesus so so passionately.

We walked, talked, laughed, and of course, shopped. 

I asked her to sit in the middle of the sidewalk on Guadalupe St.... Um, can you say, "rockstar?" 

We then made our way over to South Congress. We left our love with these little puppies... 

And then we came across some official SXSW action, graffiti that I'm sure has been the spot of countless photos already, and the best backdrop ever (last shot). 

But no, my friends, the fun did not stop there. Bry (-bear) and I took her out for Amy's ice cream and Mt. Bonnell to watch the sunset. 

And what could have possibly made her stay any better??? 

Why, we are both bakers!! We must bake, by golly! We spent quite a while deciding what to bake, and the winner was... 

a MAGNIFICENT Big Crumb Coffee Cake with Rhubarb. If you've never tried rhubarb, I highly recommend it. 

Becca, I love you and I am so grateful for our friendship!!!
