Two's better than one ~ San Antonio, TX

Two years ago when we moved into this neighborhood, we were the very first ones and lonely. Then along came Chad and Lisa, moving in two doors down. We couldn't have asked for better nieghbors! I remember quite vividly the day Lisa and Kayle came knocking on my door with the ultrasound picture, Lisa's face in shock. "Look" she says as she holds it out for me to see... "There's two!!" Out come the words in disbelief as I struggle to understand what I'm looking at. They were expecting twins!! And not just twins, but IDENTICAL boys. They are here!! And they are adorable, with their little old man resemblance. Wyatt is the one with the pen mark on his big toe. Cole is the ink-free one. So far, this is the only way to tell them apart. Kayle is such a good big sister. Oh so fun!!

Congratulations!! We are so glad the boys are here safe and healthy. Thank you for letting me capture these precious babes!

Surprise Party! ~ Austin, TX

Happy Birthday to Lynn! This amazing party was coordinated by the oh-so-talented Billinda Wilkinson of Wilkinson Rhodes. The details were impeccable. Some of the top Vegas Showgirls were flown in to perform for this event. And then there was the cake with the firework on top. We weren't sure what would happen when it was lit, and told to stand back. When it blew, it blew candy and goodies in the air and made for a good laugh. Quite the event!!

Here are some of my favorite images from the night...

San Antonio Weddings ~ Feature Article

San Antonio Weddings is a local bridal magazine and online resource for everything wedding. Denise Marcos, a writer for San Antonio Weddings, contacted me and wanted to do a piece about me and the Platinum Weddings show. She said some really nice things in the article. Here is just part of the article...

"For many looking for a photographer who has a true passion for great pictures, a documentary style that captures true moments and a fun and outgoing personality, then they probably stop searching after inquiring with the nationally-recognized Mrs. DeYoung."

Thank you Denise and San Antonio Weddings!
