Here are a few of Emily & Barkley’s engagement photos. It was an incredibly HOT day for this session, but they were troopers and we got some great shots!

Here are a few of my favorites from Christina and Raymond’s session. Looking forward to the wedding this summer!

Laney & Daryl Engagement

Sorry for the lack of posts lately guys! I have been so sick. Not fun at all. Eating nothing but crackers and soup is not my idea of a good week. =( But on to better things! I’m feeling much better and now it’s time to share a few of Laney & Daryl’s engagement pics. These guys wanted their pics in a nice outdoor setting and we ended up finding great spots all around the studio. Laney & Daryl were great to work with and I’m looking forward to their wedding next year at La Tranquila Ranch!

PS: As soon as I started feeling better my first food splurge was Red Lobster — Endless Shrimp. Yup. (Now I’m feeling sick again…. just kidding the shrimp was awesome.)

Janet & Brandon | Conroe Engagement

I love when my fellow Willis Wildkats call me for photos. I went to high school with Brandon and he contacted me about doing his engagement session. He said he and his fiancee wanted to do them at the Montgomery County Airport with the planes since they are both pilots. I know most of you are shocked that Montgomery county even has an airport. But it was awesome, there were some old fighter planes that they pulled onto the runway to use. Brandon and Janet were a blast… and we had plenty of “that’s what she said” jokes (from The Office). The only thing I was worried about was the rain but it held off just long enough for us to finish the session.

Jennifer & Joshua Engagement

We did Jennifer and Joshua’s engagement session out by the Woodlands Waterway area. It was a really nice, but slightly cold day! Thanks to them for being such great sports about walking all over the place with the cold wind blowing! Can’t wait for the wedding next month at The Houstonian.

These guys have the most amazing eyes!

Randi & Jay Engagement

I absolutely love engagement sessions. It gives me time to get to hang out with the couple and I think it helps to break the ice before the wedding day. Randi and Jay were great to work with, and the session went pretty smooth. The only issue we had was the weather, no rain or snow, but it was COOOLD! Randi and Jay were troopers though, and the cold even allowed them to snuggle up to each other a little more. Their wedding will be next year at Heather’s Glen and if their guests are as cool as them the wedding will be a blast.

Megan & Alex – The Woodlands Waterway Engagement Session

I met up with Megan and Alex around Waterway Square in The Woodlands for their engagement session. I had asked them if they had a particular location in mind for their session and Megan mentioned that they loved to walk along the waterway on date nights after eating out at Market Street… and I thought…perfect, I love taking pictures out by the waterway! So after having rescheduled once due to the rain… we ended up with a better weather day and I had a great time walking around the park getting to know Megan and Alex. Can’t wait for their wedding next summer at St. Anthony of Padua and reception at The Woodlands Resort.

Gina & Dan – The Woodlands Engagement Session

Clark Lara Photography — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 03:50:16 +0000

I have known Dan & Gina since 2002, they have actually been a couple for as long as I have known them. Dan is super camera shy, OK he is actually the most camera shy person I have ever met. He did good during the shoot though, I appeased him by letting him turn away from the camera for a few shots or hide behind Gina. We started the session out at an old junkyard that had some really junked out cars that worked great for the backdrop. We also found an old 1956 Bentley to use. We finished up with some shots of Dan’s prized possession, his BMW M3 (which I think he said that I can drive whenever I want). I also wanted to try out another new location that I found so we headed out there and started taking a few pics and within a few minutes all of us were being attacked by crazy mosquitoes! So that new place only lasted a few min and I don’t think I’ll be going back there again without bug spray. One other thing, thanks to Kevin for all his help with shoot!

This may sound cheesy but I’m saying it anyways – One thing I noticed during the shoot was the way that Gina looks at Dan. It is so adorable, you can see how much she loves him in her eyes. As long as I have known them, she has always looked at him that way and it’s really sweet. OK – my girly moment is over. Enjoy the pics. Please comment.

Random fact about me: This is a story of 2 friends standing in line with a bunch of weirdos, asked to tell their most intimate secrets. Soon they stopped being friendly and started getting REAL. In 2002 me and my friend Wes decided that we would go try out for MTV’s The Real World. The age cut off was 25 and we both made it right before our 26th birthday. Needless to say we never made it on to the show, but it was a fun story.
