Myri's parents commissioned me to capture a paramount moment in most young kids’ lives, THEY become teenagers. Myri was turning 13 and we had to capture some amazing images to share the moment with the world. We shot at the Houston Rental Studio, which is in EADO Houston, and it has an amazing feel to it. One side of the facility is all white, while the other side has an industrial warehouse look and feel to it. We chose two different colors which came out amazing. The session went so well! Myri's mother, who actually looks like her sister, joined in on the fun. Papa Keenan also had some behind the scene images but, he opted out of being on the blog. That’s the nice way of saying he didn't make it (lol).You don't have to trust my word for it, take a peek at the images!
Airat and Christopher were an amazing couple to work with. Their smiles were genuine and their style was superb. Chris brought it with his dapper blue velvet blazer, but Airat shut it down with her elegant red lace dress. We were able to book a studio session at the pretty popular West Studios which is in the Heights of of Houston. West Studio has some unique characteristics in and around it which gives you an opportunity to get one of a kind photos.
I had the pleasure of working Lynn and Wesley, a fellow former University of Houston football teammate. So we decided on making Downtown Houston our engagement photo session playground. These two are an awesome couple, and have a great energy between the two of them
On September 23 we had the pleasure of working with two easy going clients. Patricia, a gorgeous bride, who wore a stunning dress and Wilson who was just so happy the day had come were he could marry the love of his life. Patricia and her family rented a historic Galveston beach home which had amazing character, in other words it was a photographers play ground. Wilson enjoyed the comfort of Hotel Galvez while he was getting ready and we had some good laughs as we exchanged stories of fatherhood.
It has been a while since I have been back Downtown Houston to shoot since Hurricane Harvey, but when Evan reached out to me to shoot his engagement photos I was geeked and honored. I say I was geeked because Evan is a fellow photographer and I knew he would let me push the limits and I'm honored because out of all his photographer buddies he gave me the chance to work with him and his future bride to help create their vision.
Elmo and Christa are the true definition of two people marrying their best-friend. Christa is a light hearted spirt and Elmo with his witty comments through the session made it a fun one. During our entire time at Chateau Cocomar,
This past weekend I had the chance to work with these two young and very talented models. Pierce and Brenna were featured models at a well known Instagram Meet up in Houston, this past weekend. We were in the Market Square Park which is one of the nicest parks in Downtown Houston area, and had many great elements. These two have great smiles and amazing baby blue eyes, but on top of their great looks they have warm and great personalities as well. This was a fun shot but hey don't take my word for it, let the images tell you.
I was fortunate enough to photograph an awesome milestone in any young person's life this past week for Tia Jackson. She was celebrating her 25 birthday, that may not be the correct age but I want to have a long life and you can't do that revealing women's age. Tia brought on Feyi ,a houston based stylist, that I had worked with before, and let me tell you guys Feyi came to Slay, I've always wanted to use that phrase.
Recently had the chance to work with my good friend Phillip of Jprstyling, he said that he wanted to do something unique for memorial day. He mentioned shooting at Manready Mercantile, and once he said that I know that it was the perfect place to shoot because that amazing American vintage flag that they have on the wall downstairs.
Brittany and Warren have been an awesome couple to work with, I'm actually sad to see them go. These two are great people and I enjoyed every moment of their wedding. I knew that we were going to work well together based off the engagement session that did with me late last year. Brittany is a bright and funny young lady, and Warren is the perfect mix of cool and calm.
Their wedding was held at The Heights Villas in Houston, Texas. Brittany and her bridesmaids were a blast and they enjoyed themselves through the whole process. They killed it with the matching fuzzy flip flops. Warren and his groomsmen were sharp. When they both read these specials notes they had prepared for each other, Brittany's love for Warren shined through. As she read his letter you could tell what he meant to her. Warren only lost his chill demeanor when he saw his beautiful bride come down the isle.
