Fall/Halloween Mini Sessions!

This was my first time attempting to do mini sessions. I was a little scared because I didn't want to go all out buying props, etc. and then not have a single person sign up! Well, I was able to get the perfect location and ended up getting a few props and to my surprise, word spread and I was booked! I just love the way these turned out, and the light was soo gorgeous the day of!! I hope you enjoy these as much as I did!

Jose & Karely are MARRIED!

And now... to follow the post of their engagement session below, here are some images from their beautiful Wedding. Their parents and family did SUCH a great job on the decorations!! Everything was absolutely stunning!

Jose & Karely | Engagement Session

Wow.. so it's been TWO months since my last blog post. That goes to show how busy I've been! This last August was our 1 year anniversary as Noah's Ark Photography, and it's been such a journey. As with any business, the hardest part is building up your clientele. I spent pretty much the whole year marketing my butt off and trying to get our name out there! I stayed busy throughout the year, with newborn and family sessions for the most part, but nothing consistent... until the end of August, when I was in the Houston Wedding Showcase and got to meet soo many amazing people that were *in love*. Between the wedding showcase, our first Fall/Halloween Mini sessions, and word of mouth, I started getting lots of calls! I couldn't be happier :)

So here I am, trying to catch up on my blogging.. starting with a close friend of my husbands. My husband and Jose have been friends for many years, and when we found out that he was getting married we were soo excited for him! I took Jose and Karely's engagement pictures mid August in the Houston Heights. We pretty much just wondered around, had a good time, and took awesome pictures. Here are a few images from their engagement session!

Juice Fasting!

I just got done watching a documentary on Netflix titled Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead. I highly recommend this film to anyone who wants to live a healthier and better lifestyle. It really makes to think twice about what you are putting in your mouth and how it affects your body in the long run. I've been researching 'Juice Fasting' for a while now, and although it seems like a great way to detox your body and release it of all the nasty stuff we put in it, I've never had the will power or strength to actually go through with it. Not even for 5 days, but I think now, after lots of research, advice from others that have actually done it, and watching the film, I've decided to take the plunge.

Today, marks Day 1 of my 5 day Juice Fast challenge. I am not eating any food, except for a couple raw fruits and vegetables throughout the day, and I am drinking only juice made from fresh fruits and veggies and lots of water. The good thing was that I didn't have to invest in a nice juicer- we already had one packed away and collecting dust. Yesterday, I gave it a good washing and practiced a couple of juice recipes. Once my son was down for the night, I headed over to the grocery store and packed up on kale, cucumbers, beets, carrots, strawberries, blueberries, apples and plenty more. My husband said I wiped out the whole produce department! After all the preparation, I was ready.

I woke up today, rushing out the door as usual- but not without my juice in hand! Breakfast was made up of kale, carrots, apples, and blueberries. It was delicious! That's the thing about all these recipes, they have all tasted great. Normally, I would not pick up a raw vegetable and eat it. Gross. But when mixed with others, and juiced to perfection, it's so easy to drink up. Another plus is that through juicing, I can add many different fruits or vegetables and drink all the nutrients at once because who would really eat kale, celery, beets, and an apple as a snack? No one. I know these first 3 days are going to be tough. Heck, it's not even 5 o'clock on the first day and I'm struggling, but I know if I can get over this hump, my body will adapt and I will end up feeling great in the end. So, here's to a longer, happier, healthier lifestyle... Drink Up!

Everyone go watch Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead.. It will seriously change your life. And if you want more information on how to Reboot your life, click here.

End of Summer Pool Session | Houston Photographer

A couple weeks ago, I got to photograph 5 families spend a fun evening at their neighborhood swimming pool. I have known 3 of these families for quite some time now. I've been photographing their kids for about 5 or 6 years now! It's crazy to see them grow up soo fast. So anyway, since summer is coming to a close, and school is about to start we did what has sort of become a tradition and did a session at the pool. I got a lot of great candid shots of the kids a long with some breath taking set ups we did. I know you'll love these!!

The adorable banner that was used in our set up is by Primitive Moose.. Be sure to check out her page on facebook here.
