my little sister got married this weekend in austin!  

the wedding was held at their restaurant, abel's on the lake. i loved the venue.  it brought back memories of spending most of the summers on the lake in central texas with my family, so, it was fitting that they tie the knot on the lake.  happy monday.  check out some fun images from QUESO, our photobooth.  perez photography will have the full wedding details later!

soul is a deep word and most of the time i find it to be a complex thing. if i had to show you my soul, it would be of the first image. backwards but moving, changing with the flow of what life has for me. it longs to be found and seen clearly by everyone, but most of the time its hidden. what does your soul look like?

images taken in austin, texas at the st. cecilia.

i never posted that i was heading to vegas for wppi (a large photographers convention) earlier this month.  maybe its due to my pregnant self, or making sure i am caught up on all of my clients before the baby arrives in may, or maybe its because we were working really hard at preparing for an amazing week in vegas?  lots of hard work went into wppi this year because we were there to throw a party (airhorns and lasers) and we all were very excited because smilebooth (you may know one of the products: queso) was on the trade show floor being sold this year.

great times were had with all of these fine folks... josh, jess and whit, marfa trip girls and boys, the mammoth men and women, the flash dance, max & margaux, our labor of love team, and the wonderful ashley who kept me laughing all week. 

it was exciting to meet so many of you at the booth.  here are a few shots jesse and i took on the final day.  can't wait to show you all of the fun shots we got over those three days, those will be up soon on the site!

before i sign off, here is a video that still motion threw together from the party. they do amazing work and certainly captured the fun from the night and all the work that was put into it on the back end. want to see photos from the smilebooth that night?  click here.
