Is it possible for one person (me) to have to so many beautiful friends? Yes! Add one more to the bunch and you have Kristine. Last week I took these graduation pictures for Kristine who graduated from UT this May. We were finally able to get together and take some family portraits with her and her Boxer, Max. I think South Congress was a little too busy for this guy to keep his focus, but once he got that ice cream I think he cooled off and relaxed a little bit.
Here are a few of my favorites.
don't let his calmness fool you...
they guy working at amy's has three boxers...so he gave max a little treat...
How stunning is this family? This family photo shoot was taking at Festival Hill outside of La Grange. We survived the heat and Tom's dislike of photo time, but still got some great pictures.
Her eyes light up and her small smile gradually expands and she talks about their very first kiss..."sixth grade at Cozy Theater." Matt smiles with the little puff of his chest, obviously proud of this memory thinking now how that little girl is now his bride.
I actually didn't need any more of an explanation than that, being that I grew up walking in the same halls as this high school romance. Who would think sitting by each other at lunch and having your parents drop you off at the movies could possibly turn into the person you would spend your entire life with. I don't really know Matt without Ashley or Ashley without Matt. They are one part...soul mates destined to be together.
I love being able to photograph people that really mean something to me. Looking into their eyes through my camera I feel like I really know them more than I did before. So Ashley and Matt, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of something so huge. I can't wait for your wedding this winter!
This first part took place at Matt's parents home in La Grange.
both aggies, of course.
i love this one....whimsical
This next set we went down to our old high school...we had to do the whole high school sweethearts thing!
Now out to Warrenton...Ashley is the queen of antiques!
