Wow! It’s been quite a while since I’ve updated my blog. You know what that means. I’ve been very busy getting shoots lined up for my clients!! It’s only been a month and a half into the new year, and I cannot explain how very excited I am for what’s to come. Not only have I been working on wedding and engagement shoots, I am getting published in local magazines in the area. How exciting!!!! Keep an eye out for I will be updating my website with those tear sheets soon!
Linda+Long
These two are the most amazing couple. Linda lives in Houston, Texas and Long currently lives in Hawaii enrolled the US Navy. They do not get to see each other very often but Long was able to visit for just a few days during new years. Linda and I discussed many concepts for the shoot so when Long arrived, he did not have to worry about a thing! Linda works in retail so she was able to style the entire shoot herself! I was dying for her brand new Christian Louboutins! I could tell how happy they were to just be in each other’s presence. Long didn’t complain one bit when we told him to put socks on or change into black shoes instead of brown. What a great guy!! It’s the smallest things like that that show how perfect they are for each other. Long could not stop talking about how lucky he was that Linda takes such good care of him. My heart was melting the entire shoot.
We started our session with getting hair done by the phenomenal Liz Nevin (http://www.liznevin.com). Not only did Liz style both Linda and Long’s hair, she was onset for the shoot making sure the hair looked perfect for every shot. I mean, how great is it to have a personal hair stylist on set for your engagement shoot?! We started our casual/cozy look at the Long Center. For the second look, the couple booked a room at The W Hotel Austin and had the incredible makeup artist Laura Martinez (http://www.bylauramartinez.com) come on set to do an evening look on Linda. Check out that glow and shine on her face, and not to mention the seductive and sexy red lip!! I have the most amazing team, and I thank my lucky stars for them every day. For the last look, Linda wanted to take a few shots in the downtown streets of Austin. Just a few photos of Long and her shopping, having a good time, and simply enjoying each other’s company. I just loved the way the entire shoot turned out! They seriously look like they belong in VOGUE for engaged couples. Haha.
Linda + Long, thank you so much for letting me shoot your engagement session!! I had the best time, and I am so looking forward to your wedding this April!! You guys are AWESOME!!! A special thank you to my good friend Mary Nguyen for referring this amazing couple to me and for being on set for the shoot. I am so thankful for the support of friends like you.
