Did I blink?

WOW...where has December gone?!?!

I apologize for not updating but I have been working my tail off making sure everyone was able to get their prints, albums and cards in time for the holidays!

I promise to catch up and post tons of great client images in January after I spend some much needed time with my family.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and that you have time to reflect, refocus, and truly enjoy your families and the other joys in your life.

See you in 2008! It is going to be a great year!

Twins!

I have had so much fun this last month! Besides all of my wonderful regular clients I had the pleasure of photographing triplets, twins as well as assisting on a quadruplet shoot! Plus I get another set of triplets in a few weeks!

I think you will have to agree that these twins are beyond adorable. As I sat here editing these I couldn't help but let several audible "awwww"s and "ohhhh, how cute!"s slip out. When I get to look at faces like this all day I can't help but think how much I love my job. :)

1, 2, 3....

two year old triplets!!

I am just in awe of this family...everything they do is times three and they pull it off beautifully -- while staying beautiful the whole while!



All three kiddos were so adorable.

Can you believe these curls! Just to die for, and when combined with that adorable smile she is off the scales cute!





I just loved how this sweetheart could go from thoughtful to silly in a split second. Isn't she stunning?!





And last but not least, the brother of the gang. Cute as can be and a first class charmer...he is going to break some hearts someday!





and all together...


Thank you guys!!

Why I love what I do...

In just a few hours I get to...

meet special animal friends


be part of the silliness


get great room tours


be reminded of the miracle of life


and meet superheros :)


Not bad, huh?

Thank you guys for the super fun day!

All work and no play? Never!

This is sweet Emma - I meet her earlier this year when I photographed her wonderful family (I'll share those soon!!). Anyway her mom wanted to capture a few of her at this age as she had done with her two older children. We did a few formal ones at their home then we headed to the park!

It was so much fun chasing Emma around and watching her have a blast! I love that I was able to capture those big grins and belly laughs, because that is what childhood should be about, right?

Something different

I was so excited when this family decided they wanted to do an "urban" session in the downtown area. There are so many great colors, textures and architectural details it would make any photographer drool.

Beautiful girls again...(seriously, are they making kids more beautiful these days??? I don't remember looking like anything but an clumsy, lanky, freckled goofball at that age - well, this age too now that I mention it!)



I mentioned beautiful, right?


This smile could not be contained!!




SO CUTE!!


Together....


Last but not least - Family. I debated posting this because it really can not be appreciated at this size. But as a huge wall portrait - now that would have impact.


Thank you for the wonderful session!!

Dallas + August = HOT!

This session was back in August, but I think these great kids definitely deserve a mention for being such troopers!

As is typical in August, it was a hot steamy day, but we had the added bonus of fighting off mighty thirsty mosquitoes. Despite that, I think these kids did an amazing job! They are not only gorgeous but truly good kids.

First, Katie, who to me is an all-american beauty!


Next we have Elizabeth - she is only 12 and is already STUNNING - such gorgeous hair, skin and eyes!


Here is baby brother Rett - the handsome 3rd grader and comedian of the family!


I had to include one more...you can tell what a special bond these sisters have!

What a great week!

We are definitely in the midst of the busy season! It can be so exhausting, but all the fun that comes with it makes every late night, packed schedule and mad dash from activity to activity worth it!

I will be posting many sneak peeks and great client images soon, but before I head out for the day here are my own two boys trick or treating and at the pumpkin patch.

**disclaimer** I swear my son's skeleton pants fit when I bought them a month ago! :)

One more pumpkin princess

Is that dress just adorable or what??

Happy Halloween!

I hope you all have a wonderful and safe Halloween!

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of doing a really quick session with these sweet girls at the Dallas Arboretum. If you haven't been there, it is a must see. I enjoyed it so much that right after this session I went and bought my family a season pass!



This one made me laugh...I love the way big sis is looking at little sis like she is crazy.


Now this I admire...if you are going to go for it, go BIG!

If only...

If only I could harness this girl's energy! She gave me a workout but I had such fun spending the late afternoon with her. How could you not have a blast playing with someone as cute as this?

family

Here is another family I have photographed before that I just adore. This time their extended family town so we had a great time with everyone together.


It may have been gas but I will take that sweet baby smile!


My clients - super family!


Aren't his eyes gorgeous!


A fitting end to a marathon session - nap time!


Thanks again J & J, I hope you enjoy your images!

time

While traveling in Colorado this summer I had the great opportunity to photograph one of my first clients - from 3 years ago!

This curly locks...


grew into this beautiful girl...


And this little man...


Became this adorable boy...


I can not go without sharing a family shot, because to me this is what family is all about.


J & A - Thank you for letting me capture your wonderful family!
