destination engagement photographer | johonna + shane's engagement on the nile river jinja, uganda

Some of you may know Sterling and I went on a mission trip to Uganda, Africa this summer! That will have to be a post in itself because I took so many pictures I can't wait to share with you! For now, I have a lovely shoot to share taken at The Haven in Jinja, Uganda right on the Nile River! Johonna and Shane were part of our team and are just the sweetest couple! Shane surprised Johonna and proposed on the trip which was just so special and unique! On the last day of the trip we decided to take their engagement pictures right on the Nile River! I mean really, what better opportunity than to capture that special time in such an amazing place! Johonna and Shane, I am so excited for you and all God has in store for your marriage and life together. I know God has great plans for you two and I can't wait to see where He takes you both! We spotted a monkey in the trees!!! Enormous jackfruit hanging from the trees!

houston photography workshop | ashelynn manor | square one with lovebird photographie

Amy and Jason of Lovebird Photographie came for a Square One Workshop to hone in their skills and take their business to the next level. It was such a pleasure to spend the day with Amy and Jason discussing everything from camera functions to lighting, posing, equipment, post processing, marketing, pricing and so much more. We started the day bright and early at Ashelynn Manor where my sweet friend Christina did an awesome job modeling for us. My dear friend Allison of Exquisite Reflections did an incredible job with Christina's hair and airbrush makeup!
