oh, this one is one of my all time favs… in the ray of sunlight coming in behind Kristin, there were 1000’s of  “dust” particles  floating around. When I was a kid, I used to imagine those were sundust fairies. So glad to have captured them on camera, they are very shy and elusive:) (Yup, for those who didn’t already know, I’m a total cheeseball sometimes!)

Fair Queen

October 16, 2009

Brittany is running for Montgomery County Fair queen… and I think she’s going to win:)  The photogenic & fun gene definitely runs in this family. I photographed her sister Christa’s maternity, big boy Jacksons first B-day, and Chad (the only bro) & Kristens wedding.   The wedding is actually going to be in Texas Monthly magazine for November so grab a copy!  Hopefully, Chad’s cheer inspired leaping shot is in there….

FYI  YALL:  got about 3 dates left in November for Senior sessions. That would be high school seniors, not senior citizens. But I may make exceptions if you’re young @ heart.Houston photographer, senior portraits, high school senior session,high school senior portraits, houston photographer, senior portrait, sacred image photographysenior portraits, highschool senior session, Houston model, sacred image photography

The Priska Proposal

October 7, 2009

(Just a preliminary word of caution to any husbands reading this, Marc may have ruined it for all of you.  He is currently at large and a prime target of loser husbands worldwide.)

In my line of work I’m very fortunate to work with young couples in love and really just beginning their lives together.  It’s less often that I run across a couple like Marc and Sandy Priska, married for 18 yrs. and just as in love as the day they met.  Or maybe even more so. 

Marc has raised the bar on anniversary planning, starting with the fact that he rounded up, and just considered his 18 yr. anniversary to be the 20th yr..  He contacted me a month or so ago, excited like a teenager about his top secret plans. If there was anything else he could have added to his vision, I really couldn’t think of it. Beginning with the white Rolls Royce (customized Priska plate) picking Sandy up @ work, check. Single red rose, photo framed picture, a box of tissues, and an ipod with his personal message to listen to laying on the seat, check.  Sandy in tears after listening to his message, check.  Jaspers  restaurant in The Woodlands, check. Rose petal trail leading to private dining table in a room filled with roses, check. 4 piece orchestra playing all Sandy’s fav.s , check. Customized menu, check. (see pic.s of the food on my facebook page.)  Seriously tip of the iceberg folks, he even had sent her out a few weeks before to buy an outfit, anything she wanted and then had it waiting for her @ the restaurant  to change into.  In between dinner courses, Sandy was duly shocked when Marc got down on one knee, reproposed and then gave her a newly designed old wedding ring that hadn’t fit right for many years. Even more shocking was when she said yes. Just kidding, of course she said yes!!!

blog3proposal  at Jaspersblog4After dinner, we went outside to take some fun and romantic pic.s in the area. They had never done this before as they had eloped to Las Vegas the first time around, and now their 2 adorable little kiddos get most their camera time. Just as we began the shoot, it started to rain, but never fear, as Marc had apparently arranged for a rainbow to appear too. That’s some serious planning.  After Marc and Sandy brought out their inner model freaks for awhile, we wound up the shoot on the penthouse suite balcony @ The Woodlands Waterway Marriott, with an amazing  sunset in the background.

But after almost  20 yr.s ,  it’s really still just beginning.  Plans for the rewedding in 2010 in Las Vegas are in the works and I for one wouldn’t miss it…:)
