It was cold, for Texas. And with the sun only making a rare appearance that afternoon, it only got colder as the hours passed. But this was my first style shoot since moving back to Austin and I was going to rock it.

I found Samantha in the parking lot of Star Hill Ranch in Lakeway, TX, recognizable by the yoga pants, sweatshirt, and magazine-ready makeup model-off-duty uniform. My co-bridesmaid, Emily, arrived right before showtime with hair and makeup ready straight from a movie set in Dallas. The hill country event venue was happily situated at the top of one of the numerous hills near Hamilton Pool, and wasn't only hosting our style shoot that Sunday afternoon but also had a variety of vendors, families, musicians, and even Santa Clause.
