I met Denise back in 2003/2004 working at a child care center. We hit it off instantly I think - lol - it's been a few years!! I even got to "co-teach" with her in the Toddler room for a brief stint and it was super fun! Anywho -- through the years Denise has known about my passion for photography and has always encouraged me to 'go for it.' In fact she and Raul were the FIRST engagements I ever shot and my FIRST wedding all those years ago! I am so blessed to call these 2 my friends! Through the 10 years we've known each other they have moved from Austin back to Uvalde, back to Austin and now back to Uvalde and had 2 beautiful children too! Emily is full of spunk, sass and sweetness and Nathan is your typical 2 year old - energy, feisty and stubborn!
I'm always honored to photograph their family. So when they made the drive up to Austin recently we made sure to get holiday photos! Nathan was not as cooperative as we had hoped but I managed to find the only way to make him look at me was to have him tell me "NO!" I tried bribery, talking about Ironman, and even a tickle here and there -- he was set on not taking photos! But look at what we captured!!! A GORGEOUS family full of love and sillies. Thank you for always inspiring me and encouraging me to go farther with my passion. I wish you and your family many blessings for the year to come and can't wait to see you all again - maybe capture a few more memories! Merry Christmas Denise, Raul, Emily and Nathan!!!
