Houston Engagement Photography: Christa and Roy

February 19, 2010 – 8:12 am

Christa and Roy win the award for braving the coldest day of January. Man it was cold. I was wearing my red wool coat with scarves and my dad’s driving mittens that I found in his truck. They kept my fingers warm while I clicked away and took these shoots of the two lovebirds.

They are getting married in March and I’m so excited to shoot their wedding. First wedding of 2010! :)

Here are a few shots we took in Downtown Houston by Minute Maid Stadium.

I told them to bring it in real nice and tight, it also helped keep them warm.

Christa, you look FIERCE!

One of my favorite from their session. I love their expressions.

Roy is a firefighter and an EMT so we headed back to his station and took a couple of pics there.  He represents STATION 9!

This one is so sweet!

Thanks to Christa and Roy for being such troopers in the cold and not complaining. It sure was worth it!

The Wedding Album

February 17, 2010 – 8:00 am

After the cake is cut, the last dance is done and you return from your honeymoon the one thing you are most excited about is getting your wedding photos. To relive the day from beginning to end. From the getting ready details to the reception details. Your wedding album is your first family heirloom. The album you will show at family reunions and the album your children will flip through a million times.

At JTG STUDIO, everything is done in house. I meet with you for your initial consultation, you book the date. I photograph your engagement and bridal session. The wedding day goes by smoothly as you are working it for the camera. After all the other sessions, you feel so relaxed it’s as if I’m just a good friend with a really nice camera. While you are away on your honeymoon, I sort through all the photos and narrow them down to an average of 400-600 pictures. The wedding album is designed in house as well. I create an album that will stand the test of time, without flourishes and stamps that will date your album. You will receive an elegant, clean crisp design telling the story of your wedding day.

My favorite part (after taking the photos) is seeing the bride and groom flip through the album and just falling in love all over again, laughing and reminiscing on how wonderful their day was.

Here are some photos of a recent album. It is an 11×14 album, with a cocoa leather cover and a champagne accent strap.

The 8×6 cover photo is made out of metal.

Do you see some foreshadowing?

Incase you are wondering, here is Sory and Oscar’s album design.

Houston Maternity Photographer

February 5, 2010 – 8:33 am

Last year, my last session was with Lely and Pedro. I was thrilled to hear that they were coming to Houston for Christmas. I hadn’t seen them since their wedding in November of 2008.  I was even more excited because Lely is 7 months pregnant and a maternity shoot was a must. With such beautiful subjects who could resist.

We set out that day to my favorite park in midtown and had a quick session. The sunset was beautiful and it made for glorious photos.

I can’t wait to meet your little bundle of joy.

My favorite from their session.

Happy Friday!
