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…

 Oh, and did I mention he has a little brother on the way?!

Cheri Thomas - ADORABLE!!

Kathleen Cole - What a handsome lil dude!!

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

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.

Janica - Live it up, my friend. xoxo

Abigail’s Disney Birthday Party

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!!!

 

 

 

 

Jeannie Williams - Chrystal,
These are AMAZING, thank you so much!! Abigail loves her Aunt Chrystal and talks about you all the time.
We love you,
Jerry and Jeannie

Shannon - Yay for blogging…MORE MORE MORE!!

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.

The first residence I was put in charge of at Arkitex 

A renovation project they did when I was just starting at Arkitex

And an older project of Arkitex
