Ha, I bet that title got your attention! I've just finished editing Maribeth and Erin's wedding so I'm onto my portrait sessions. I have 4 portrait sessions scheduled this week (2 bridal and 2 eng sessions), which is a large number for me in 1 week considering how much time I spend at the actual shoot and editing afterwards. Right now I've started to edit my first bridal session of the week. I'm dubbing Mandi my "bathtub bride"! We shot the images at Mandi's mother's home in far South Austin. It is a beautiful property, and also where the wedding will be held. Mandi wanted a different look for her photos, and she wasn't afraid to try anything. When we started I told her I had a strange sounding idea, which was to shoot a few portraits in the bathtub of her mom's beautiful bathroom. I was afraid Mandi, her sister, and her mom might look at me like I was growing an extra ear when I suggested that, but they said they had already thought of that idea! It was meant to be. Here are a few shots from the "bathtub". Mandi also thought to put on her cowboy boots for these pics, which was a great touch! Cinematographer Chris with Mason Jar Productions http://www.masonjarproductions.com was there videoing the shoot for Mandi. I'll try to post the link to his video when it is ready.Here are a few more from the shoot... 
Mandi is an accountant so we thought it was funny to do some pics in her father's study with an income tax book!

Here Mandi is making faces back at her sister Anna Kate, who was trying to make Mandi laugh for the photos.

We brought a leather chaise outside and did some pictures with Mandi on the chaise in the middle of the grass.



Mandi's sister Anna Kate made Mandi's bouquet. Isn't it gorgeous?


Here is a shot of Mandi walking her poodles. Boy was that a difficult shot to get - those dogs have a lot of energy as you can see!

One last shot - another difficult one! I wanted the blue of the pool to show behind Mandi so I had her lean back in a chair right on the edge of the pool and I stood on a chair above her.

That's all for now!
