A big THANK YOU to Style Me Pretty Texas for the feature on Megan & Andrew’s wedding at Barr Mansion! Kate and Megan did an awesome job putting together the sweet and simple details of this pretty wedding, and I’m so happy to see their hard work recognized! Check it out here.

Happy Anniversary to Jennifer and Casey! It was a beautiful outdoor ceremony & dance hall reception with such attention to detail. Thank you for letting us document your special day!
We hope y’all have enjoyed your first year of marriage!
I’m biased of course….but this kid is cute even at just a day old. It must be his awesome dimples…yay for that Peacock gene! I still can’t believe Cyndea now has 3 boys. The stories of the Sampson boys are somehow going to get that much crazier (if that’s even possible). I can’t wait.
It was a fun day waiting for little Gray to arrive.
There are two reasons I wanted to do a post on my boys. The first one is for proof that they do actually exist. The second reason is because Shane and I are about to welcome a new addition to our family and I wanted to give a “shout out” to my little men before their world gets rocked a bit. We don’t know whether we are having another boy or if this one is a girl. Either way, we are so excited about this baby that should be arriving in just a couple of weeks. For now, these little guys are what keep me busy, make me laugh, make me crazy and show me what true JOY is! I love their unique and funny personalities! Gage, the oldest, will be four in June. Having a conversation with him would most definitely make you laugh. He says the funniest and strangest things! Case, the youngest (for now), will be two in May. He is our silly and sneaky little guy. He will try to charm you immediately when he thinks he is about to be in trouble. We are praying right now for his teenage years!
Shane and I are truly blessed by these boys!
Oh and their little “friends” in the pictures are their very special LOVES! These “animals” are affectionately known as Dougie and Walter. They, of course, had to be in the pictures with them.

Cyndea and I shot Melissa & Chris’ wedding on a cold, wet day last December. But the weather couldn’t keep anyone down. The day was full of fun friends and a sweet ceremony….and a reception dance floor that no one could resist! From the pretty flowers to the candlelit tables, it was a romantic night of good food, fellowship, and awesome dancing!

We had so much fun photographing Sarah and Zach’s big day! The couple, the wedding party, venue, etc. were perfect. Sarah was easily one of the most chilled and laid-back brides ever! We had a great time hanging out and capturing all of the preparations and moments before they got to finally see each other inside the church. The two of them were clearly so excited and ready to be married and celebrate with their friends and family.
They got married at The First United Methodist Church in Austin and had their reception at the Salt Lick Pavilion in Driftwood. The reception was complete with great food and lots of fun dancing! It was beautiful and festive and everything seemed to go on without a hitch. Through hearing the toasts and kind words from their friends and family, you got a great sense of how special and truly awesome these two are. They are definitely loved! It was so fun to see everyone celebrate these two and share in their special day.

There are several families that make up this bunch. We have brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins, and second cousins. They all wanted to get together to capture some photos together as they all live in different areas of Texas. The main reason for gathering was to get some pictures with their grandmother, the tie that bonded them all together. Sadly, a week before the session, she passed away after a tough fight with cancer. The family, however, still wanted to have pictures taken in memory of her. She was a huge Texas Longhorn fan. So in honor of her, they all wanted to have a group picture wearing their burnt orange proudly (even if there happened to be some Aggies in the bunch).
I loved getting to hang out with these families for a couple of hours. They made the session fun and easy.
