Cousins

In December I had such a great time photographing these sisters and their kids! I always think cousins are such a fun dynamic and really have special relationships. It is so great that these sisters who live in different states are really making an effort to make sure their kids know each other!

The sisters (gorgeous, right??)


This family lives here


And this one out of state


We found a little patch of woods near their home and had the best time exploring, playing, and throwing leaves!




These eyes are just an amazing ice blue!






Thank you for the great day!!

How do you spell adorable?

J-A-C-K!

Whether playing peek-a-boo...


or giving his dad some exercise...


or swinging...


or snuggling with mom and dad...


Jack is just one cute, fun, and happy kid!!

Kissable!

This baby girl may just have the most kissable cheeks in Texas, don't you agree? I am so glad her adorable family recently relocated here...

Need a baby fix?

Check out this little cutie! Not only was he completely adorable but he had so much personality! He recently mastered something that sounded like a lion growl which he loved to show off.









This was taken while he took a cat nap...I can never get enough of baby feet! So precious!

Find your peace

While on vacation in Colorado I had a really wonderful experience. One snowy afternoon I took a walk up an isolated road to a point where I was surrounded by only mountains and trees. As I stood there taking in the beautiful scene, I suddenly became aware that the only sound I could hear was the snow softly hitting my jacket. I can't remember the last time I was in such sweet, peaceful silence. I stood there for quite a while trying to memorize that view and that feeling so I could bring it back out when life gets a little too crazy and a little too loud.

It is so easy to get caught up in the noise of life but I really encourage you all to set aside time, even if it just for a few moments, to find your peace. I know Dallas is far from the mountains, but there are plenty of places to pause for a bit. Go in a dark closet if neccesary. :)

It does the soul good.

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!!
