Sorry there was no photo of the week last week.  It was a crazy, busy week, that flew by too fast for me!  This week I opted for a simple shot, which isn’t always easy to get.  First of all, you have to have beautiful blue skies out, which you just never know if it will happen or not.  Then you have to find some really cool clouds that have formed.  Lastly, you have to find the time to pull out your camera and take the photo!  I didn’t want to pass up the opportunity this time and hopefully I’ll be able to capture some beautiful sunsets soon as well.   Anyway, for now, here is my simple photo of the sky, with a really neat, whispy cloud!

This week I had the chance to take some fun photos of some very cold weather.  It usually doesn’t get cold enough for these kind of photos, but when it happens, you have to get out in the cold to take at least a couple of photos (it really didn’t feel that cold!)  Anyway, here is my favorite capture of my trip.  I had some close runners up, maybe they will get shared in some other post…Oh, and while I’m typing, I forgot to add a link to my new wedding website I have.  Here is the link and I also edited the post below with it!  www.kristenjoyweddings.com

First of all, Happy New Year!  A new tradition I’m starting this year is to post a photo every week of something I’ve taken in the past week.  So this first one is a little late already, but anyway, I have to start somewhere.  Doyle, my husband and I have started on a new venture of photographing weddings.  It’s never really something I thought I would do, at least by myself.  But after hearing Doyle commit to going to weddings with me, being my assistant and second shooter, I decided to go for it!  I recently took some photos of a beautiful bride, who has actually been married a few years now and my friend, Elyse, and I took some photos of her.  She was so awesome to let us do this and I’m very excited about how they turned out.  I showed quite a few at the Bridal Extravaganza in San Antonio we were at this past Sunday, along with this album, my photo of the week.  A 10×10 flush mount album, that’s just perfect for a coffee table!  Edited to add link to Wedding Website! www.kristenjoyweddings.com

I barely got all of our family Christmas cards out and decided just to put the same card up here instead of sending them out to clients. Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!

I took some photos the other day at this awesome ranch in the hill country.  I’ve been busy trying to do a ton of different things at once and slowly checking some things off of my to do list, but wanted to take a little time to get these sneak peeks up for them.  I had so much fun doing these and I’m sure you will agree with how adorable this little girl is!  Hope everyone has a happy thanksgiving!

This santa hat is my new favorite prop!  I can’t wait to take more photos of cute babies in it!

It’s so hard to believe how quickly these boys are growing up!  I’m so excited to have gotten the opportunity to photograph them on their 3 month birthday!  I also got one of their big brother, who was really hard to track down and get him interested in staying still for me long enough to snap a shot or two.  Silly boy…he was so good at taking photos when he was younger, I bragged on him all the time because he was so easy!

I’m so excited to share these twins with y’all.  It has been so much fun not only getting to take photos of these little guys, but being friends with their parents, means I’ve gotten to hold them plenty of times now and holding babies never gets old!
