Sunshine Winters Photography bio picture
  • Hi! Welcome to my blog!

    What's in a name? Sunshine Winters is not the kind of name that your hear everyday and luckily for me I fell in love with photography and it was meant to be.

    Becoming a Wedding & Portrait Photographer felt like a natural calling and has become my passion in life. I feel so blessed and lucky to have the opportunity to capture and create art from all the most exciting and joyous moments that life has to offer.

    With this blog you will have the chance to view some of my most recent work whenever you like. I will also post a little bit of what goes on behind my lens just for fun. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for stopping by!

    Pix~Love~Peace!!!

Jared’s Bar-Mitzvah Formal Portraits-Beth Yeshurun Houston

This past weekend I had the pleasure to be a part of another special Wiesenthal family event…Jared’s Bar-Mitzvah.  Here are some of my favorite images from his formal portrait session at Beth Yeshurun on Friday.  Check back to see the fun photos from his cool race car themed celebration!

Erin + Kevin Wedding-Chapelwood Houston Masaraff’s

It was a gorgeous and perfect fall day, for Erin and Kevin.  They picked one of the luckiest days of the year to get married 11.11.11.  I began taking photos of Erin and her children at her home that was decorated with pumpkins and fall foliage, which looked so pretty against the plum colored dresses.  The kids loved the “big car” that picked them up and to take them to the church.  They were so excited about the limo, it was so cute.  Heck, I still get excited to get into a limo too. lol  Erin and Kevin had an intimate ceremony at the Chapelwood Church surrounded by their closest family and friends.  Erin, later confessed that she was so busy planning her wedding, going to school, working and raising 3 children, that it kinda slipped her mind to tell the kids where to stand during the ceremony.  I thought they were so good during the ceremony, especially giving me a picture perfect moment when they all sprawled out on the stairs to watch the show (too cute).   Afterwards, to celebrate E+K  treated their guests to fabulous food and wine at  Masaraff’s.  Congrats to Erin and Kevin…may you continue to be lucky in love!

Nikki & Ernie Engagement Session-League City

I had a blast shooting their engagement session.  I love going to new spots.  I met Nikki and Ernie in League City. They wanted to shoot at Helen’s Garden near by thier wedding site, the Butler’s Courtyard.  N+E are a super sweet and easy going couple who made my job a breeze.  They were striking poses left and right and working all of their moves.  I loved it!  They love spending time outdoors, especially hanging out with their lovable furbaby Piper (their French Bulldog).  They also love going to the movies, so I thought the old town in LC would be another great spot for their photos.  It has such a cinematic feel with the old looking store front buildings and the old rail-car.  I love the juxtaposition of the boys riding through my shot.  I can’t wait to shoot their wedding!

Colton Cerny Portraits-Austin Texas Musician

I met Colton in November when he came into town for our shoot.  He is an up-incoming singer/songwriter from Austin.  He is in the process of recording his first album.  We discussed his music and vision that he wanted for his photos and he told me his music is a combination of garage rock , 60′s pop and old school R&B.  If you like Van Morrison, Bob Dylan and James Brown you will like Colton Cerny.  He is super sweet and full of soul. He wanted something really gritty and urban, so we went to a few locations near the studio and downtown.  Here are a few of my favorite images from the day.
