Jackson called me with a plan to propose to his girlfriend Rachael. He threw an idea out during our conversation that involved me pretending to be a cleaning lady showing up to their vacation rental as they were departing. Then he said he knows it sounds crazy.

I am positively stoked to bring you this epic Tangled X Star Wars engagement session. It’s no secret I’m a Disney girl. So when Angelica reached out about wanting to incorporate her and fiance Sebastian’s fandoms, I was so excited to combine my love of photography and Dis-nerdiness.

Shayla and Layne wanted a really laid back, casual Galveston Beach sunset engagement session. Since their wedding venue, The Tasting Room, is a bit more modern and formal they wanted to embrace some time together with a free-flowing and natural vibe.

When Elizabeth reached out to me about photographing her sister’s upcoming surprise proposal I thought…wow, these are some sister goals!
