Katie's Bridals

Katie and Jason were married on June 6th, and unfortunately I was not able to attend the wedding because I had a one week old baby. I know it was beautiful and a good time was had by all. We were definitely sad to miss the party! Back in March I was in Houston and was able to take Katie's bridal portraits. We weren't sure if it was going to happen because we were very short on time and it was pouring rain all weekend. She was able to find an indoor location at the last minute and we were a little rushed, but in the end I think we were able to get some beautiful shots. Katie was so gorgeous in her wedding dress and was a great sport despite the rain and the freezing cold weather! Enjoy!

Kate's Senior PIctures

I was so excited to get a call from Kate a couple of weeks ago. She was in a hurry to get some senior pictures done, and thankfully I had an open morning and could get them done for her quick! We had such a great time and she totally knew how to work it in front of the camera. She is such a beautiful girl, and it made my job that much easier and so much fun! Thanks Kate and good luck next year!!! In other news, this will be my last post for a while. Unfortunately I have had to cancel the remaining sessions I had booked for May, due to doctor's orders. Thankfully I will re-schedule the sessions in a month or so and have things up and going on the blog again! Until then, enjoy some of my favorite shots from our session.

Senior Pictures--meet Rachel

I met up with Rachel a few weeks ago to do her senior pictures. We were blessed with a few hours of beautiful weather before the storms rolled in later. She was such a fun gal to hang out with and photograph. Good luck next year, Rachel!

Twins!!!

It's been so much fun to have the chance to photograph twins lately! There is something about them that is so unique and so much fun! I met the mother of these two cuties at The GAP one day when I was looking for some maternity clothes! We started chatting, and the next day she called to book a session! What a blessing! She wanted all B&W pics of her twins for their 3 year pictures. We didn't have weather that cooperated with us, so we just played inside the house and got some fun shots indoors. It took them no time at all to warm up to the camera. Before I knew it we were sliding down the stairs (well, not me:)), playing games and becoming friends! Enjoy!

The Wright Family

I am so glad that I got to meet this precious family and take some family photos! Their 5 month old twins were absolutely adorable and their big brother Cooper was just a doll! He was so good with those babies and it was fun to see them interact with each other. The images are a little out of order, the ones of the twins sleeping were taken at the very end of the session. We wore them out! It's tough work to perform so well on picture day! I was happy to get some sleepy shots of them, because you usually don't get that at this age! Thanks you guys...it was a pleasure capturing this time in your family's life!!! Enjoy!

The Wolthoff Family

The Wolthoff family is one of my most loyal clients and I love seeing them every time I head down to Texas! The first time I did a session with this family, little "M" was just 6 days old and now he is such a handsome little 15 month old with an adorable big sister! It's so fun to see them grow up and capture the different phases in their life! What a beautiful family!

Lucy's mom wanted a picture of her and all her grandchildren. What a precious thing!
This might just be one of my all time favorite pictures. Is he not a doll or what?

The Smith Family

This family was so much fun to shoot with. For having a 15 month old and a 4 year old, pictures are oftentimes a challenge. Not for these kiddos! They were awesome! You would have never known it was picture day--aside from their adorable outfits and precious smiles! We had a great time exploring all over this amazing yard. The weather was great and things really couldn't have gone better! I loved these first two sequences of little "S" and her mom, so I put them all together. Enjoy! More to come soon!

TADA!
Kara's mom is getting married in June, so we took this opportunity to get some engagement shots as well! Best wishes you two!

Chickens, Frogs and Ice Cream

These three things aren't the usual things that come to mind when you think about a photo shoot, but they sure did make for some cute pictures! I met the Wilson family last week and we had a great time trekking around their house and yard capturing a little bit of just about everything! Scroll down to see and read more!

The chickens came out of the coop when the sweets were brought out. They pecked at the sweet stuff as much as the kids did! I'm surprised the images came out sharp because I was laughing so much!
Yummy strawberry ice cream!
He loved these chickens and I was told by his mom that he's even been known to bring them into the house from time to time. She even found one on their kitchen table once! Hilarious!
The Wilson Family
Cousins!
The kids started digging around in the irrigation drain looking for frogs...they were successful and found about three! Isn't she a brave girl!
I love generation pictures...

Baby Nolan

Courtney and I have been best friends since the 6th grade. The awkward days of Jr. High are where our best memories began! After I moved away in the 8th grade, she was one of the only friends that I really kept in touch with throughout high school. It was so exciting when we found out we were going to be college roommates, years later. Even more years have passed since our college days, and we continue to go through life's biggest experiences together. Engagements, marriage and now having babies! I'm so glad to be able to experience pregnancy and motherhood with so many of my closest friends. I was so excited that during my trip to Houston I would be able to meet Court's new little Nolan. He was just two weeks old when we did his newborn session, but oh so alert! We didn't get many of those sleepy newborn pictures because he just wanted to know what was going on in this new world around him! He did such a great job and we got some great shots. I love you three!!! Enjoy!
