2015

The only thing I'm truly disappointed about in this year is my lack of shoots. I only have myself to blame, but for 2016 I have some amazing things up my sleeve...at least I'd like to think so. I want to focus more on living outside of the box when shooting. I don't really have a choice in that since moving anyways and I've been on the look out for some good scenery (which is my favorite part about being back in Austin). 

But here's a bit of what I did get done this year. See ya, 2015. On to the next one...

an Engagement part 1

A pair of best friends, Jasmin and Ricky, got in engaged in Amsterdam this Summer! Not only do I get to take their engagement pictures but I'm apart of the wedding party. Yep, just over here trying to fulfill my bridesmaids duties from 200 miles away, but I'm lucky they're literally the most relaxed pair on the planet. 

They wanted to take a couple at the State Fair, which I honestly was skeptical about but everything from the weather to the lighting turned out great! They'll be here in Austin soon to take their fancy photos, but I'm hoping this holds them off until then. 

Moving On

I've been making quite a few trips back and forth to Austin in the past few months for many reasons. One of the biggest reasons is because the husband got an amazing job opportunity out there so I'll officially be moving back at the end of this month. That's honestly why I've been so absent. I was basically on pins and needles figuring out all the details but we can finally put the word out and we are so happy! 

One of the trips down there I got to do a mini shoot with my best friend, Kaitlyn. We're basically sisters and it's pretty odd that I've only taken her picture this way maybe one other time. But this babe better get used to it (and you guys too) because she'll be around the blog a lot more. 

Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's day?

Since Summer will be officially over in a few short days and I'm just spending some time reminiscing. Specifically this rainy Houston day with Kat back when we had free time to travel to one another, hah. I'm missing this girl like crazy and all her sunshine personality. Mostly because I can't walk past a Forever 21 without seeing a Shakespearean quote or two, but I'm not hating the trend! 

Girl Next Door

Is it just me or did July happen in a flash? I hardly remember the time going by and now I'm here inching close to mid August and I have no idea what I've been doing the last month. All I know is that's been crazy hot the past month and I'm dreaming of cooler times. You know, back when it was semi bearable to shoot outside.... 

This shoot was back in those days. May, to be exact. I snuck a quick trip down there before Kat's summer travels began and wouldn't of been a good time if we didn't sneak in a shoot (or two). 

Neighborly

I few months ago my dear friend Kyndra and I took a couple snaps around her neighborhood and chatted about life goals and photography. This girl is not only gorgeous but a wonderful photographer herself! She shoots and models the Free People Fort Worth instagram  and shoots film freelance. Even her husband, Trevor is an amazing photographer and artist himself, working along side her from time to time.

You can see more of her work on her site and Facebook!
