Lisa & Stephen . Engagement . San Antonio, TX

Meet Lisa and Stephen. The moment I walked into the room to meet Lisa for the first time, I knew we would be friends. She is so friendly, so happy, so sweet. I had a great time with these two downtown. I am really looking forward to their wedding next March. Stephen is a huge Beatles fan and they are incorporating that into their big day. How fun! I was so glad he brought his guitar to the photo shoot. I always love it when a couple brings those things that make them who they are along with them. AND - he's good! (you never know, just because someone likes to play, doesn't mean they'll be good...)

I had so much fun with these two! Here are some of my faves...


































Katie & T.Dub . Just Married Session . San Antonio, TX

Amidst my crazy travels, lots of blogging has been put on the back-burner. This is one of many to come...

Katie and Tdub wanted to do a Just Married Session following their wedding. So the week after they were married, we hit the streets of San Antonio. They are such a fun couple and completely head-over-heels, giddy in love! My kind of couple.

Here are some of my faves...

Outdoors with a touch of city.






































We were shooting in front of the Alamo and a group of kids walked by, with lots of "ooh's and aaah's"

Honduras . More Photos...

The last several weeks have been full of some amazing travels for me. While it has been some of the most hectic and chaotic several weeks of my life, I wouldn't trade them.

The week in Honduras definitely had the most impact. I continue to reflect on my time there and wonder how it will change who I am and the plans the Lord has for me. I'm excited to see what will come for all of us who went. And what an amazing group of individuals - Lauren and Josh Clark, Lauren and Peter Zaffos, Shari Henson, Memoree and Cody Barrett, Lesa our leader, and the hilarious-keeps-you-hoppin' Ginny Corbett also fondly known as "Ginny-cake". We all laughed 'til our stomachs ached, daily. I felt like they were all family by the end of the week and it was sad going our separate ways. To have seen and experienced so much together.

People keep asking about the trip. Honduras is such a beautiful land filled with a high rate of poverty. The poor are pretty much ignored by the wealthy, as if they don't exist. You can see that walking through the village. Adults won't make eye contact with you because they assume you will ignore them. (White = wealthy in their minds). One morning, while walking through the village, I started saying "Ola" to every adult I saw, then making eye contact and smiling. The way they looked at me with surprise and then to see their face warm, was heartwrenching. In a society where we are raised to think so much revolves around us and our "happiness", where people get upset when they aren't acknowledged, as if entitled, I realized I can't even imagine feeling like I didn't exist. But the biggest thing was seeing the joy and love in the faces of the children. Children who have nothing, absolutely nothing, and don't even know if they will have food tomorrow. To think of the children here in America, who have their parents convinced that buying them a certain toy, or watching that movie, will make them happy. Right. Not true happiness. Don't fool yourself. The happiness and joy I saw on that mountain was the kind that more of us need, the kind you only get from love. The love of others, the love of Jesus. What a week!!

Hope for Honduras is an amazing organization, run by Ron and Shelley Jones, true servants. They are truly changing lives up on that mountain. If you feel led to give or serve, there are opportunities for both on their website - www.hope4honduras.org
