Sessions

It all began in charming downtown San Marcos, Texas… around 1:00 am in the morning.  Mary Catherine was enjoying a night out with two friends, and because she was only 20,  she was the honorary designated driver. After a night of fun, the three were walking back to their car when they heard and saw […]

There is nothing quite like a sparkler exit… The soft warm glow of the crackling light, the cheering of guests, and not to mention the extra rush of adrenaline because let’s be real… you are running through fire together and you just got married!

Sessions

Today is my 25th birthday…. 25th! To some (mainly my younger siblings) I am now “old” to others I “haven’t even lived yet”. I agree with both sides of the arguments. I am young, but I have also lived long enough to learn some valuable lessons. In celebration, I have pulled together some of the […]

Sessions

“Slow and steady wins the race.”  “Like wine, good things get better with time.” For Stephen and Chelsie, these statements ring true.  When Chelsie met Stephen, she was love struck and set out to get to know him more. They found commonalities, but it still took a while for Stephen to truly open up.  Chelsie […]
