Creating beautiful images for my clients is energizing to me. The relatively new Houston park called “Discovery Green” was the location for this particular set of images. A remarkable transformation from a ‘concrete eyesore’ to a beautiful urban park, Discovery Green has modern, heath-conscience vibe. Actually, Discovery Green is a lot like a picture of a healthy marriage; an anchor for further development, a source of health and happiness, a place to celebrate each other’s different talents and traditions, and an environmentally-friendly place! As the bride in these engagement photos suggested, the pampas grass made a lovely backdrop. I remember the first time I did a photo shoot at Discovery Green; this same pampas grass was barely a foot tall!

Brannon and Ingrid’s engagement portrait session speaks volumes in symbolism and imagery.
Their vintage country-style photo shoot in the heart of League City’s historic district is my new favorite! A portrait of Live Oak Trees; true love’s roots growing deeper, arms branching out to embrace one another, a symbol of strength – tough and durable. A portrait of the American Spirit; embarking on the adventure of a lifetime, like the pioneers headed out West, carving a new path, beginning a new life.
A portrait of the Simple Pleasures in Life; holding hands, a leisurely walk in the warm sunshine, stealing a kiss, the porch on a lazy Sunday afternoon. Like a country girl and her cowboy, they were at home and relaxed in boots and blue jeans among the rustic elements of Butler’s Longhorn Museum and Heritage Park.

I am always humbled and honored by our clients who have served or are actively serving our country in the military. Top quality individuals like Camille and Austin embody the many reasons that our soldiers and the people who love them are extraordinary! They are separated by distance the majority of the time because Austin is currently serving overseas.
In fact, he was just on leave for one short week, and they took the time to squeeze in their engagement photo session! Gazing into each other’s eyes, it became obvious that their love transcends distance, time and trials. When Camille and Austin smile at each other, the world lights up around them! There was no need to plead when it came to capturing their happy, playful affection for one another during their engagement photography session! Even though they will be apart until their wedding, we captured these beautiful, romantic engagement images for them and their families to hold onto and treasure until they are back in each other’s arms again! Congratulations to these love birds! What a gorgeously cute couple they make! I hope that time flies until Camille and Austin are reunited ~ I’m sure that their wedding will be absolutely stunning!

SGI Photography loves to see our happily married clients return to celebrate their anniversary with a portrait session! We chose to do Becky and Jacob’s anniversary photo shoot just south of Houston in League City’s historic district. We recreated the engagement photo shoot they’d always wanted!  The combination of the location, wardrobe and photography filters invokes a romantic vintage style feeling. Like a scene right out the movie ‘Somewhere In Time’ their stunning portraits portrays a timeless love!  Thanks not only to their God-given good-looks, but also the effort that Becky put into finding the perfect outfits and shoes produced fantastic results! Reminiscent of a catalog page from Anthropologie, each of their engagement photos is unique, and like Becky and Jacob’s love: one-of-a-kind! Congratulations, Becky and Jacob!  Here’s to unending love!

     “Come take my hand and walk with me
               we shall stroll our island by the sea
                       we shall talk of life and what’s to be
                             as I gaze into the loving eyes of thee . . . .”
                                    ~from the poem ‘Come Take My Hand’ by Sherri Havens

A good, old-fashioned stroll along the shore, or through the strand district of Galveston Island is the perfect way to have your engagement portraits taken by SGI Photography! There is a sense of stepping back into simpler times, slowing down and actually enjoying the experience. A photograph of a couple in love, holding hands while walking on the beach can seem so timeless.  Portraits I recently took near the ‘Old Quarter’ and the old Peanut Butter Warehouse (now the Peanut Butter Lofts) inspire a vintage feel.
