Matt + Natali = Baby Ali

Chrystal — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 03:51:28 +0000

Natali and Matt were high school sweethearts. Growing up I hoped to find someone who would be as sweet as Matt is to Natali (my cousin). I was so excited to do Natali’s Maternity pictures and even more excited to meet their beautiful baby Ali.

There is no way Ali could be anything but beautiful with a mother that looks like Natali.

Talk about glowing…

So sweet!

Natali & Matt LOVE you guys! Congrats to both of you!

Alan, Evelyn, and their adorable 11 month old daughter Anna were full of fun and giggles during our photo session. Anna won me over with her laugh. She is such a cutie.

Anna could win anyone’s heart over with a smile like that…

Searching for the perfect leaves…

I had so much fun working with you guys and I can’t wait to do it again!

Mrs. Blackman

Clark and Katy were adorable in their engagement pictures. I thought Katy looked stunning in them, but she makes and even more stunning bride.

Let me introduce you to Mrs. Blackman…

Katy you looked absolutely beautiful and your wedding was so much fun!

I am so happy for you and Clark!

Adam & Sarah

Meet Adam & Sarah

Together 07.2009 | Engaged 03.2011 | To be married 07.2011

Adam is my cousin and is absolutely one of the nicest guys. Sarah and Adam are cute quirky and down right adorable together.

This one is my favorite…

Sarah… you are soo cute!

You guys are so much fun. I love it! You made it so easy to get some great pictures.

Congratulations! I am so happy for you two! Yet, I am dissapointed I won’t be able to see Adam dance to the twelve days of christmas this year (dang marriage exemptions)!

Rose

My niece Rose is absolutely precious and full of smiles and giggles. Her little bobble head full of smiles always puts me in a better mood. Her older sister Lucy is a great big sister and refers to Rose as “her baby”. I may be a little bias, but I think babies just don’t get cuter than this.

Jackson

Jackson is an absolutely the most adorable little boy I have ever seen.

He is sooo sweet to his mom…

And has the funniest “mad” face… I literally was laughing so hard I had to stop taking pictures.

He is a always full of giggles and loves any his cowboy boots. I LOVE the boots. In fact, love them so much I decided my niece Lucy (Jackson’s BFF) needed some for christmas after seeing his little boots.

Jordan had also asked me to make them a Christmas card this year. Yes, chrystalmac.com does christmas card designs! There are more to come…

Clark & Katy

I have to just say. If I could specialize in any category of portrait photography… it be engagement sessions. Nothing is easier to photograph than a couple that can’t keep their hands off eachother…

Meet Clark & Katy

Together 04.2009 | Engaged 04.2010 | To be married 07.2011

Clark & Katy are adorable together. Katy, you are stunning… need I say more? Clark knows what I mean.

You guys are sassy, sophisticated, and are so in love. I dare say… it is the perfect combination.

Oh and this one is by far my favorite…

So these two were so just walking in front of me and had to grab this shot… LOVE it. I mean it doesn’t get much easier to be a photographer when you have clients like these two.

I can’t wait to see you both on your big day. I know you must be so excited!!!!

Summer 2010

Chrystal — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 04:19:22 +0000

So here is just an update… Lately, I’ve been hanging out with the family & my girls and having some much needed fun.

I went to Austin with some friends this past weekend and had fun hanging out on Lake Travis, riding jet skis, and tubing. It was so nice to catch up a bit, and I am definitely at my happiest when I’m out on the water! (but didn’t take any pictures).

I also floated the river with some fantastic people this year! I don’t think I have laughed, danced, and drank so much in my life (love ya Magan, Sara, Beth, & Jeanie). I am definitely looking forward to the trip next Summer. (Sorry no pictures, doubt there ever will be in the future too)

Celebrated Lucy’s 3rd birthday and Sean and Payden’s 5th (pictures to come).

Went to the Lady Gaga Concert with Ashley.

The costumes of the fans were hillarious… I would totally post some pictures, but I took them without people knowing so to post them would probably be wrong (but tempted).

Studio RED Architects helped design the Extreme Makeover home that was in Houston. I was able to help out during construction and help with the drawings of the house. It was a bit chaotic, but so much fun.

But, Basically I’ve been having a good time with some of my favorite girls.

Abigail’s Disney Birthday Party

Chrystal — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 03:28:39 +0000

So now things are starting to settle down and I am getting organized… I am starting to uncover photos that have been hiding away on my computer. Sorry Sara… I know it has been months.

I have to say that my best friend Sara and her husband Travis have the cutest, prissiest little girly girl I have ever seen. (She is Sara’s daughter and I expect nothing else). She loves to play house and call her “boys” honey. She takes every chance she can to dress up and pretend she is a princess. So what better way to celebrate her birthday, but in true Disney fashion.

I wonder who is going to Disneyland?

The grand entrance to the birthday bash!

Yumm!

The Birthday Girl had her very own custom chair cover… (Sara you should really sell this stuff on ETSY.com!!)

A custom candy necklace station and a candy bar!

The girls were working hard to put those necklaces together.

And doing a little taste testing…

When it came to the games they were just getting silly! The moment she spotted her big SURPRISE!!! (Tinkerbell can fly!!)

Riding in style.

The cake was awesome…

The whole family!!!

Sara, my friend, your daughter is freakin’ adorable! She makes me laugh everytime I see her and I LOVE how excited she gets when she sees me. You guys are so lucky to have such a beautiful sweet little girl. I can’t BELIEVE she is three!!!

Miss me?

It is finally over! I am done with school! I now have my Masters in Architecture from Texas A&M University! It has been a very busy month with work, and finishing up with scho0l, and I have managed to also land myself a new job in Houston!

Graduation was a BLAST! There is no other feeling like holding a degree you worked so hard to get. Crazy how much one little piece of paper can mean and how many years of hard work it represents.

Also, a BIIIIIG thank you to Mom and Dad and my family who have supported me along the way.

I am loving my new firm, but I will miss all of my coworkers from Arkitex Studio. They were an amazing group of people to work with and I was able to grab some beautiful pictures of their work before I left.
