Love Lee Photography

October 17, 2009 // personal

If you know anything about Houston weather, you know that we have some pretty hot and humid summers here. Not only that, but the heat and humidity spills way into the fall season. Well today was one of those rare and beautiful days where the skies were beautiful and the temperature was in the cool 70's.

Edmond and I decided to take advantage of the beautiful day and spend it outdoors at the Sugar Land Town Square. I brought my camera to take some pictures of Madeline, but instead, my hubby got some shots of me and our baby :) After looking at the shots I realized that I rarely get pictures taken with my baby because I'm always taking them! I also thought...my hubby did an awesome job!

Enjoy :)

back in the game!

September 4, 2009 // personal / weddings

I'm back! I slowly started easing out of my maternity leave the past week and I'm glad to be back to work. In between the birth of my daughter and now I managed to shoot a wedding. Don't ask me how I did it, I just did and it was 4 weeks after she was born. But I'm glad I did, because otherwise I wouldn't have gotten this cute shoe shot!

On another note, I spent part of the evening getting wood floor estimates for my new studio. That's right! I've come across a great space that I hope to have ready asap for Love Lee Boudoir. I've got some exciting things planned too :)

Finally I'm gonna post a pic of my Madeline since she's on my left arm while I type with my right. I think this is her way of saying "I got my eye on you!"

a baby, a bridal show, and a wedding

July 29, 2009 // personal / weddings

This post is gonna be a big one. I know it's been a long time since I've posted so I'm gonna share with you several things. First of all, I'd like to introduce to you my daughter! My beautiful baby, Madeline, was born on July 19. She is, by far, the greatest thing that's ever happened in my life and I thank God everyday for such a precious blessing. Of course I already have hundreds of pictures of her and it hasn't even been two weeks since she was born! In her pictorial debut on my blog, here's my sweetheart!

Next I'd like to thank everyone that stopped by my booth at the Bridal Extravaganza. I couldn't be there to meet everyone and answer any extra questions. I just wanted to post a reminder that you have until August 15th to take advantage of my specials that I offer only for the show.

And finally....Meredith and Bryan! These two had a really fun and beautiful wedding at the Alden Hotel in downtown Houston. It was really hard to narrow down favorites for the blog, because the whole wedding was just awesome. I really loved working with Meredith and Bryan and after their wedding was over I said to myself, I'm gonna miss them. They must have read my mind because when they got back from their honeymoon in London and Paris, they emailed me with some pictures they took! It made my day :) Then about a week ago, Bryan emailed me to let me know that he and Meredith would be featured on Channel 11 KHOU. KHOU has a "Saving Cents" feature and they were interviewed for "Trimming Wedding Costs." I highly recommend everyone watch this video. Meredith and Bryan did a lot of smart things to create their dream wedding on a reasonable budget. CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO

I like the rotating pictures at the top of the page... Nice photos, cute couples. The ones of meredith and bryan look too posed for my taste. But the ones at the top look cute, you can really see the feelings and chemistry between the couples.

just for fun

June 7, 2009 // personal / photography

I'm in the midst of getting some great weddings to blog about. In the meantime I wanted to share some fun pics that my friend Julie and I got at a wedding she helped me shoot last night. Julie had a great blog post a few weeks ago about our "Pack." It's nothing fancy, just a few of us girls with a great common interest - our love for photography! One of the great things about our "Pack" is that we learn from each other and help each other out when needed. This photobooth was a lot of fun and a big hit with the guests. It was provided by Texas Photobooth. It was a nice change from the usual break I take at a wedding. Sometimes I just sit in a quiet place for like 5 minutes to recharge myself, but this break was so much more fun!

Hahaha!!! I just LOVE it! I am so glad you both enjoyed yourselves at our wedding and felt comfortable enough to get in the photo booth and let loose. We laughed at the pictures and thought you both had 'style'. Thanks again for everything!

A Precious Moment from my hubby

April 28, 2009 // personal

If you've been keeping up with me on facebook, or if you've just seen me lately, you may already know that my hubby, Edmond, and I are expecting our first child in July. We're having a girl and her name is Madeline Olivia. Madeline is such a wonderful blessing and she's not even here yet! Our friends and family are so excited and I can't wait to introduce her to everyone. Emphasize on "I can't wait." Pregnancy feels like forever!

Edmond has been incredibly sweet and understanding through all my physical and, well, emotional changes. LOL! It's really true ladies...the hormones can wreak havoc on your mood and at times I find myself going psycho on Edmond for no reason. Thankfully, I'm blessed with a very patient husband who knows not to take it personal and just do what I say. Wait...he does that already! Hee hee!

Tonight we were at the drugstore picking up my prenatal vitamin prescription when we came across this Precious Moment bunny. I thought it was so cute! What's even better is that I let Edmond pick the crib bedding when we went baby shopping and the theme he picked happens to have bunnies on it. My husband bought it for me without question. When you squeeze it's tummy it recites the "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" prayer. Thanks love!
