Laura was amazing to work with, very photogenic and up for trying different poses, no matter how silly they felt. Bridals tend to have more of a “fashion shoot” feel because it’s just one person being photographed. During a wedding I’m more like a ninja taking photographs of moments as they happen. But a bridal requires some sort of artistic direction since it’s just the bride in a wedding dress.

I’m definitely looking forward to her wedding next month!

It was really delightful photographing Jaime. She’s a dancer at ballet austin, and easily cracks up in laughter, which made the session really enjoyable. I did fall off a pool chair in the middle of shooting her. I’m so graceful! But the camera was fine. We wanted something a little different for her maternity photos and so she gamely went into her east austin neighborhood swimming pool. Here are some of my favorite photos.
