They've known each other since high school, but it took them until last Fall to finally start dating. When you know, though, you know and it didn't take them long after that to realize they were meant to be together forever.
Such a cute couple! I can't wait for their wedding this summer. I'll for SURE cry that day (yes, I'm a crier - so what?!).
This session was scheduled by a guy wanting to have his girlfriend's kids photographed as a gift to her. How great is that?! Such a good idea, and really it's one that any mom would love. Guys, you don't have to even be all super-sneaky like he did and already HAVE the session because even just a gift-certificate would be perfect. Keep it in mind for Mother's Day!
I think this is one of my all-time favorite photographs! LOVE!
Wow! Do you guys think I've fallen off the face of the earth? I can't believe it has been so long since I posted to my blog, but then too, who has wanted to go outside for a photo shoot in the weather we've had recently? I can't wait for Spring because I'm really starting to miss shooting all the time!
This is the Payne family. You've seen some of them here before, but this time they met up with me after Christmas and brought the WHOLE family. And no, they're not related me to me, but I wouldn't mind if they were because I always have a GREAT time hanging out with them!!!
Aren't they the cutest couple EVER?!
STUDIO NEWS: I know it's months away, but graduation will be here before you know it. If you're still needing to have your Senior Pictures taken is it NOT too early to call and schedule a session. I've already got quite a few bookings for March so if you're wanting a specific date you need to call me now and reserve it!!
I had so much fun with these girls. I'm also really glad that women my age aren't expected to wear skinny jeans. lol I really love photographing teenagers. They're so much fun and creative and I love how they have their little packs of friends they do everything with. I miss that as a "grownup".
Anyway, this group of girls came to hang out with me because they wanted some photos of themselves together for the school yearbook. I did the same thing for Ashley's big sister and HER friend last year, so it was fun to continue the tradition.
They're all so pretty!!!!!! Loved hanging out with you girls! Hope you have a great 8th grade year. :)
Seriously cute family!!! AND, it was someone's 1st birthday. I brought along balloons for the birthday boy, but he was definitely more interested in running around the park. Honestly, I can't blame him. Of all the things you get on your birthday, balloons are probably the LEAST exciting. Cake. Now THAT's the best part of a birthday!!!
He's gonna break some hearts with those eyes!!!
So cute!!!!!
I met up with this family early last weekend at Getzendaner Park in Waxahachie. That's such a great park. If you've never been it's definitely a must-see. And if you see me, stop and say HI! :)
Anyway, we had a great time, even after the little one did a slight face-plant into the sticky weeds. It's hard being little and new to the whole sitting-up thing!!! But we persevered, and I think their very first family pictures turned out great. Such a cute family!! And their very first Mother's/Father's Days are coming up soon! :)
I love all these little girls I've had lately. Get's me ready for this summer and the twin nieces I'm getting in a few months!!! So much fun!!!
Some of my families I already know when they schedule a session. And the ones I don't know, well, I never know what to expect. Will they be uncomfortable? Will they like me? Will they get "into it" and have fun?? Seriously, I stress out about it!! It's really like a first, blind, date. With the Lewis family - I didn't need to worry AT ALL. When a little boy jumps out of the car, shakes your hand, and starts talking 90-to-nothing, I KNOW it will be a fun shoot. And it was!!! Plus, the whole family is SO STINKIN' CUTE!!
I took so many pictures it was really, really hard to narrow it down, but here are a few of my faves:
This one is a little bit of an outtake - but I LOVE IT because of the way she is looking at him. I imagine he gets that look a lot! :)
I have about 100 pictures of different expressions from this one. SO FUNNY!!!!!!!
Met this cute little guy at Getzendaner in Waxahachie for some fun Easter pics. He was NOT all that into me chasing him around with a big black box, but I managed to get some super cute pictures! And I'm a little envious of his shoes.......so cute!!
I had the honor of photographing the 90th birthday party of the father of some of my favorite clients. It was so wonderful to see all the people who came to celebrate with him. Literally HUNDREDS of people came to pay tribute to him, and I can only hope I am that lucky when I turn 90!
It was hard to narrow the images down, but here are a few of my favorites:
The birthday boy and his sister......
I wish I knew what this conversation was about.......lol
A few of his grandkids and GREAT grandkids.......
So much fun!!! I was so glad to be a part of this, even if the speeches DID make me cry. :)
