More Aidan...

And once again, it's Aidan!

I've been photographing Aidan since birth... well, actually before birth since I shot his mommy's maternity portraits (you've probably seen him on the blog before). At any rate, he always shows up with his uncanny eyelashes and his big brown eyes-- this time he showed up with a mouth fullllll of little baby teeth! Growing up so fast, this little guy.

We decided to go for something a little different than our usual studio portraits for Aidan this time, so we hit the Strand in Galveston. He's walking really well now, so it was fun to get out and let him explore.

Near the end of our session, Daddy stepped in as the entertainment and we caught some incredible little Aidan-smiles! I absolutely enjoy working with this family time and time again.

Heartfelt congratulations to Karey and Jason, who just found out that Aidan will become a big brother sometime next year! I can't wait to welcome baby #2 as we continue to watch Aidan grow into a little man. Happy and healthy nine months to you, Karey!

Some December Wedding Favorites

Here are a few of my favorite wedding images from last December... the ones that stick out in my mind the most. Erin and John were married in Galveston and had a reception at Garten Verein, where outside there were some streetlamps shining on an arbor of vines that were leafless for the winter. Who'd have thought dead vines could be so pretty?

Leslie and Miguel's wedding sticks out in my mind because they'd previously planned a destination wedding, but moved it up at the last minute simply because they didn't want to wait to get married. Their last dance before the exit was "All I Want for Christmas is You".

Ashley and Jason were just laid back, go-with-the-flow people. The picture of her cracking up during the cermeony is par for the course of their wedding day.

Elizabeth and Andrew were a couple of cute young Aggies, and I lucked out at their church with a great blacony from which to capture the Cinderella-dancing image.

Trash that Dress!

Erin and Jason celebrated their first wedding anniversary by having a "trash the dress" photo session (Yep, it sounds crazy but it's quite en vogue these days!). We stopped off beforehand for some great shots along the highway on the way to Galveston-- then hit the beach and got down to business!
