A little bit of Faith...

Meet Miss Faith. This little one is a friend of mines fourth little one, and I swear everytime we get together for pictures we always seem to have too much crazy fun. My little man joined us for this portrait session and let me tell you, I think the studio has seen better days. Between mine and hers, they had way too much fun with all of the props! But, it was so worth it. Miss Faith has WAY too many good shots. Enjoy the pictures! Oh and BTW....I love the one of all four of them....that was so them!

Sweet Baby Z...

Today one of my good friend's brother came in for pictures of their newest addition. Being a proud new Aunt I know she is dying to see photos, so I wanted to get these posted before I called it a day. Mom and Dad you have lots of great photos, so get ready and start measuring those walls! 

Such a sweet girl...

Birthday Baby...

You know those pictures that you look at that just make you smile....well here are some! I swear every time I look at these pictures I can't help but grin from ear to ear. I love one year pictures, because they are just so much fun, but they are also kind of sad. Most of my one year babies I have photographed multiple times since they were in the belly and see them lots throughout their first year and I know that once they are one I will not be able to see them every few months anymore. :(

Well, these were just way to cute to share. Have fun smiling!

Future Baylor Fan...

So, rumor has it that daddy "loves" this pink outfit which is actually the same gown that this little ones momma came home from in the hospital. I just knew I had to share at least one sneak of little miss in the gown, since daddy loved it so much! :)

I hope you all enjoyed the pictures and just so you know daddy, this little one might be strong willed, but she sure does make gorgeous pictures!

Mommy & baby love...

These are 2 separate sessions, but I just wanted to get the sneak peek on here like I promised! Enjoy!

Twice the fun...

Excuse me....are we almost done? 

So cute, supporting sister's head...

These two little ones were SO much fun. Twins are always as blast in the studio and Katy and I enjoy getting these little ones posed in the perfect positions. These images are proof, that patience is worth the wait! Love them!

Love the hair...

Little ones with red hair always mean so much to me because of my little one. Something about red hair just makes them so special...

I photographed this families big sister for her 2 year photos, so I was so happy to meet the newest addition. Isn't she adorable?

Asking for your help...

Saturday, a very good friend of my husbands was involved in a boat explosion off Tampa Bay with their entire family (his 2 sisters and their family, his family and his parents). This story has made national news recently because of how horrible of an accident it was. We talked with the family last night and although we are so unbelievably thankful everyone is alive, there are 4 adults and 1 child who is still very critical. Prayer is our most important form of healing, so if you have a moment please send a prayer towards this family. They are such a close family who was spending time doing what they love...enjoying the water. 

Thank you for any prayer or thought you have to offer to them and we hope to see them up skiing again soon! :)

Below are some links to share background information on the story. Again, all thoughts are prayers will be greatly accepted.

6 Months...

Two little men...

These are two different sessions, but I know these mommas are dying to see their pictures. They are both two little cuties!

Little Man...

I met this family a couple years ago when we did little man's sister's belly pictures. (In fact...one of these pictures is currently hanging in the studio.) We always are able to do lots of fun artistic shots and this shoot was no exception. Little man did awesome for his first photo shoot and made sure to even let me know that he is gonna be a REALLY good eater. Of course...I have to show of the little girl who I first began photographing with this family....isn't she adorable?

And the winner is....

Miss B. We had a contest going for our spring shots for any who came to pictures in something from Ella's Children's Boutique. Well it was an obvious choice, because not only did she come in something from Ella's...she came HEAD TO TOE in Ella's. I think this momma loves this new boutique about as much as I do. Isn't this shot adorable. I love her little face...makes my heart melt. Miss B's momma will have the choice of choosing a free 16x20 from the shoot or a free session. With a shot like this....that is a tough choice!

~*~

On a side note, I will be giving away some more free stuff. Ella's Children's Boutique in Old Town Spring will be having her Grand Opening this Saturday (April 4th). The first 10 shoppers to Ella's will get a FREE SESSION from us. Better hurry!

Can you say busy?

I know I have disappeared for a while. I got online to post this blog and was shocked at the date I last posted. It has been busy, busy. Of course when it rains it pours! Right before we started our bunny pics I got hit with a wave of new babies, then of course got hit with another wave as we were finishing up our final shoot of bunnies. For some reason it always seems to work out that way. Here a few of our new little ones. More on on their way, but a knew I had to share a couple of shots!
