Beautiful Baby Baptism at the San Fernando Cathedral in San Antonio,TX.

I cannot begin to tell you how absolutely stunning the San Fernando Cathedral in downtown San Antonio is.  There’s just something so serene about it, it looks huge from the outside but when you walk in its actually smaller than one would think.  It’s quite intimate and just an absolutely perfect place to have a baby’s baptism.  If you have never visited this beautiful landmark, it’s definitely a must.  We were so honored to be asked to capture on of the most important milestone in baby Michae’s life.  How adorable is this little guy?  Look at those little cheeks of his! He was all smiles the entire time and was just loving the camera.  We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect morning to capture his baptism.

Grandparents- the best friends we never knew we had!

A family portrait is one of the most priceless heirlooms one can possess.  “Where do I begin”, This is the question I have asked myself for over two weeks since we photographed this sweet family.  This session touched Sam and I’s heart in so many ways.  We were so honored when we were contacted by Katie once again this  year for family portraits; this time the entire family was participating.  Sam and I were happy to capture these sweet grandparents in action just being themselves.  Grandparents are perhaps the most important thing a kid can have in their life.

Maternity Portraits at the McNay Art Museum

There is something so miraculous about preganacy. Our bodies actually creating another life. Maternity portraits are some of my very favorite sessions to photograph. We love capturing this special moment in expectant parents lives, and the excitement, anticipation, and pure love that shows in their eyes. And who can resist the adorable pregnancy baby bump?!? Somedays you feel like the day that your baby will arrive is never going to get here but then, before you know it, your pregnancy is over and you are holding your new sweet tiny baby.

A Garden Tea Party Cake Smash|San Antonio, TX.

Cake smashes are fun! It’s even more fun when there is enough time to plan one and make it perfect! I have been envisioning this session for a very long time and I wanted to make it amazing! Its crazy because I could never describe exactly what I envisioned to anyone- not even to Sam, he just said let me know what you need me to help you with for this one.  It was just a bunch of random ideas and items that popped up in my thoughts.  Of course my imaginary shopping cart on Pinterest has a lot to do with this as well- and I must admit it is my vice.  I’d like to say I’m so artistic and creative to have thought up this idea myself- but who am I kidding, I have the need to be surrounded by artistic creatives and I yearn for their company because they are my inspiration!  From graphic designers to event planners, Etsy shop owners to to florists and from the sweet woman at Thrift Town to the guy at the Starbucks drive through (who “donated” some pallets)- they all inspire me! #communityovercompetition [Read more…] about A Garden Tea Party Cake Smash|San Antonio, TX.
