We had an absolutely gorgeous evening photo session at Hermann Park. It was great fun to run around the park and find great spots for photos! Carleigh will be attending George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, just outside Washington D.C. to pursue a B.A. in Film and Video Studies. Congratulations Carleigh!

So excited to share these photos! Before you see this very soon to be college graduate - let me show you a few photos from the past! I had to search for a few of these. So much fun to see! We had a blast running all over Lamar University Campus! Also had some fabulous food and did a bit of shopping. A great day in my book! Mackenzie is brilliant and beautiful and she will continue to soar! I am borrowing this from Lisa Mckenzie Savage - who said it so well.

"Mackenzie Savage will graduate summa cm laude with a BS in Biology and minor in Chemistry. A Reaud Honors College graduate, she plans to attend medical school in Fall 2023. Until then, she will work as an EMT and plans to travel. CONGRATULATIONS!! "

I was very honored to photograph the wedding of my dear sweet friend Kristin Box Miller and Travis Huffman . Kristin is a wonderful person that is beautiful on the outside and in. The time we spent in Orlando was such a delight and I am grateful for good friends and great times spent together. Here are a few preview shots for her while they are still enjoying their time in Florida.

So happy this session finally happened! The weather was perfect! Morgan is a former student of mine and such a doll. We met at the National Oak Park in Alvin - with the great bridge that I love. Here are a few favs from their session.
