A Sneak Peak at a Beautiful Family

27 October, 2010
I love this family.... had a chance to work with them earlier in the year, and so I was pumped to get to do this again.  They are so pretty, and so sweet.  I feel so lucky every time I have a session like this.  I don't want to post too many, or post any family shots, as they will probably be used for Christmas cards, but couldn't resist sharing a few!  And this place.... I feel at home here, so peaceful and quiet and perfect for family portraits.  I use it a lot, but always find new ideas every time I am there.




Ms. P is 8 months.... Fun Fall Session

The months are flying by, and I can't believe she will be a year old before we know it.  She is always gorgeous, no matter what the theme, color scheme, location, etc... and we kept it pretty simple this month.




Latest Sessions..... Cannot Share Yet!

23 October, 2010
Just wanted to quickly update that there may be several sessions that I cannot share until after Christmas.  More and more, people are doing these as gifts for grandparents, or for Christmas cards, and I don't want to spoil the surprise.  In the meantime, here are a few custom Christmas card samples and some other custom products that I offer with each session.  I try to make all custom products that I offer match the style and coloring of the session, and the taste of the client.










Portrait Boxes

Custom Albums

Ms. S, Balloons, and Lollipops!

18 October, 2010
This little beauty is not all that into the camera.  Mom warned me that she doesn't do well in the studio, and since I don't either, we both thought that being outdoors would help.  I think it did, but the biggest helpers that day were the bouquet of balloons and coordinating suckers (luckily they matched the outfit and background because she was not letting ago!).  As long as she was happy and showing those beautiful brown eyes, I really didn't care if she was holding them in every picture.  Keep the boss happy!






Macy Turns 1!

17 October, 2010
Our beautiful cousin turned 1 last week.  We were so happy to be able to travel in for the party, and a couple of days later we went to the gorgeous Dallas Arboretum to do her portraits.  She is so precious, and looks just like a doll!  The best natured baby ever!






Visit From Sadie and Tripp

Last week our wonderful friends came for a visit, and we snapped some festive shots of the kids.  I loved their bright, colorful clothes with the pumpkins, and even with some teething and sleep deprivation, they are adorable, sweet babies!



Baby E Turns 1!

09 October, 2010
We had such a nice, peaceful morning doing Ms. E's 1 year portraits.  She was absolutely perfect, in a great mood and giving lots of sweet smiles!  Her pretty white dress is probably ruined while we posed around in freshly watered grass, but I hope the pictures make it worthwhile for mom!




Another Sweet Newborn Boy!

04 October, 2010
All these gorgeous, dark haired babies!  Love it!  I was actually worried about these portraits....  big brother just wasn't feeling it, and baby boy stayed wide awake for a while, but what we got was awesome!  I was very pleasantly surprised when I started going through them!  I met Mom eating lunch one day several months ago, and she remembered me and found my website.  I'm so glad she did, because it was fun to chat a little more, and be a part of this special time!   It was also special to do these in their home, and their living room was the perfect spot for the family!









A Perfect Saturday Morning with the Perfect Family

I felt so refreshed and blessed leaving this appointment.  Mom and Dad were awesome to work with, and I know it is good for everyone (especially dad and the kids) when they can get out of the studio, and get outdoors in the fresh air.  I got to work with beautiful blue eyes, again, and that is always a treat.  The kids were adorable, with busy little personalities and tons of energy!  And I always gravitate toward the images with one on one parent/ child interaction.... it is so heart warming.
