I will be out of town tomorrow until the 16th photographing one of my favorite families in Florida!   I will be available only by email so if you have to reach me please send me an email to   info  @  TheSmileHouse.com   (take the spaces out).  Since blog posts without pictures are lame… I’m going to post a few more seniors!!  Oh to be young and have your whole live ahead of you!

Sneak Peek for Leah and Cameron – New Braunfels Baby Photographer

My goodness, is Haiden ever a little heart breaker. He’s got these big blue eyes!   I just love the flirty little looks he gives when he raises his eyebrow when you talk to him. SO cute. I got to hold him and he has that sweet baby smell! Just yummy!   This first image he’s on a beautiful family quilt. I love when people incorporate family heirlooms.   I had a wonderful morning today with this sweet little boy!  It was so good to see you guys! I can’t believe how much Haiden has grown!

Beautiful Luisa – San Marcos High School Senior Photographer

Gosh, I love to photograph seniors. They are always so fun. I really love young people. So full of life and optimism.  Meet beautiful Luisa. She’s so many things but the short list is smart, beautiful, kind, and musical! She’s going to Trinity University in the fall.  This girl has no fear!!  Even when I warned her to walk “loud” through the bushes just in case there were snakes.  Didn’t phase her!!  She never complained about the bugs, the humidity or when I asked her to cross the somewhat deep bed river because the light was prettiest on the other side. She was awesome and boy does the camera love her! Talk about being photogenic! She’s stunning!  I love love love her session! So many beautiful images!   I also had a wonderful time getting to know her and her family.  Thanks so much for choosing me to photograph her Senior portraits! It was a pleasure!

Laura, these pictures are so gorgeous. You did such an amazing job, and I am so glad that I got to meet and work with you, even if only for a few hours. Your talent is truly apparent and absolutely amazing. Best wishes for the future.

Sneak Peek for Troy and Priscilla

Had a great afternoon with Troy and Priscilla!  We were blessed with a beautiful day! I was soooo worried about the rain again! It goes to show though that the news isn’t always right!:DTroy and Priscilla were awesome!  It was hot and bugs were eating us alive but they still managed to rock it!  It’s always a joy to photograph couples in love!!  Just a quick peek!

Shannon & Brian ~ Engagement Session

Shannon has been a friend/client for about ten or eleven years now.  I have to say one of the best things about Shannon is she loves to laugh.  She’s always fun to be around.  Her nickname if she were an Indian would be “Laughs Like Thunder”  her laugh is contagious as is her good spirit and love of life.  Who knew one day in the elevator at work she’d meet a man who would forever change her heart and world.  Brian and Shannon have found a special love together that gives us all joy.  They’re proof that love can find you when you least expect it.  So of course when we were talking about where to photograph their engagement session we had to go visit the “Elevators of Love”.  They met in the elevator on the right and he proposed in the elevator on the left.   Sweet huh!!  Then we ventured out to The UT golf club where their wedding is going to be held!!  I can’t wait for 12-12-12!  Congratulations guys! So happy for you both!!  If you’re an email subscriber be sure to click HERE to see the video!
