Rheanna - Modeling

Enjoyed an early morning modeling session with our good friend Rashaan's daughter Rheanna...




This young lady has the right attitude to go far in the industry... and the fact that she is beautiful and fun to work with doesn't hurt at all.. thanks Rheanna, it was a pleasure to work with you...

Rocking at New Hope Church


Last night I had the honor and privilege of photographing my good friends Ben Donnelly and Niccole Liston as they performed at New Hope Church.

The band was amazing as they always are. The crowd enjoyed the beautiful voice of Niccole as she sang "Grace Flows Down" and Ben brought down the house singing his huge hit "Mighty King". Here is a version of the song you can all enjoy. Stay tuned for the upcoming album...

Thank you GOD for giving them the talent to sing the sounds of your word so well...

Alondra & Marden ~ August 1st

This past weekend we got an early start at Demer's with our good friends Alondra and Marden. They chose a morning wedding to avoid the Houston summer heat.

A nice feature of the Smith's wedding was to observe one of the current trends of the Unity Sand Ceremony...
The flowing sand and blending of the colors in the Unity Sand Ceremony symbolize the bringing together of two lives into one. Some couples prefer to leave a small amount of sand in their respective container to show that even though they now function as one, they remain individuals. The two sands symbolize everything that the bride and groom have been or will become in the future.
The blending of the sand represents the union not only of them but their friends and families as well. The separate sands once poured into the unity vase can never be put back into their separate vases. They are forever entwined just as the lives and loves of the bride and groom.

Thanks guys for letting us be a part of your special day...

Alondra & Marden - Part 2

A couple of weeks ago, we had the good fortune of meeting Alondra & Marden. Being hired to photograph their engagement portraits, bridal portraits, and wedding day, we were excited to be a part of this special time in their lives. We posted their engagement portraits shortly after meeting them and promised to post the bridal portraits and wedding day images soon. Now that Marden has seen Alondra in her dress, we are happy to share a few of her bridals from that stormy day:
