I met this family for their Spring Photos at Champion Park in Cedar Park, Texas. There was peek-a-boo in trees, twirling on the bridge and lots of hugs and snuggles.

When your very first date took place at Jester King Brewery, it only makes sense to go back there for your Engagement Photo Session. These two are getting married this Fall in Mexico, but before that fun event, they made time to

  • eat some pretzels
  • drink some beer
  • pet some goats

during their photo session.
