Officers of Love {San Antonio Engagement Photography}

Claudia and Oscar are both work for the SAPD (San Antonio Police Department) so when they followed our car to the various locations for their engagement photos, Megan was definitely driving like a granny. It was kinda funny because when we got there Oscar asked us if we were lost. Nope, just Megan's idea of following the law (maintaining a buffer of at least 15-20 miles under the speed limit). They were such a fun couple to photograph, oh- and don't let Claudia's gorgeousness fool you, she was a marine before joining the force and could easily kick your... bum. It seemed like the day we chose to take pictures the sun decided it was time to set at 7pm so a bunch of the photos we took ended up being in the dark and some random spots that we could find natural or ambient lighting... I think it turned out AMAZING. Oh btw, keep your eyes open for Claudia's bridal portraits, the woman is fearless!

Two Pieces of Heaven {San Antonio Infant Photographer}

I had the opportunity to photograph my first set of twins, let me tell you, it was a challenge. When you got one into the correct position, the other would move and they would both wake up! Once I was able to get them nice and comfortable it was a breeze.

Here are a couple of tips for your infant photography session:
1. Allow for at least 2-3 hours for your session. With infants being so unpredictable you cannot mold them into a pose like you can with a child, often times you have to sit and wait and then sit and wait some more.
2. Expect that they will want to eat more than usual during their session, I don't know exactly why but I've noticed this trend.
3. I usually turn off the air so the room is warmer than usual but it makes the little ones more comfortable.
4. Relax. Don't worry about making any special preparations, allow baby's day to stay as normal as possible.

Rick & Cynthia {San Antonio Engagement Photography}

Cynthia and Rick were A-M-A-Z-I-N-G to work with... I mean how many couples do you come across that trust your vision so much that they will get into a lake fully clothed? I think their photos turned out pretty darn cute in my opinion. Oh and that spiffy vintage teal car? Yeah how awesome would that be to own one of those. I am always in the market for a old ford truck... it has to be super rusty though.

My number one tip on how to take great photos to (drum roll, please)
Relax! Please, please, please do not pose. My best and most favorite photos are unplanned and totally spontaneous. Laugh, be goofy, horse around, be irreverent, poke fun, be corny, be cute, just have fun and enjoy yourself. Interact with one another, heck, ignore that you're even being photographed. My goal in your engagement session is to experience your essence as a couple. I want you to be relaxed in front of me and be natural, be yourself. I understand that it can be awkward to be photographed so honestly, if I start to act a little goofy, ridiculous, or even a little lame in front it is all for a purpose (despite what my family and friends will tell you, I'm a really cool, sophisticated, hip gal).
