Gorgeous, cool, non-humid weather is hard to come by in Houston… Even in the fall.  So, this family and I considered ourselves extremely lucky that we ended up having a refreshing breeze upon our backs.  It was the perfect day for a session in the park… And, so we did.

Little man was crawling all over the place for us!  I had to do some quick jumping around to keep up with him!

And lastly… A totally sweet shot of the little guy:

The one thing I love more than a party is a baby’s party…  It’s so much fun to see how happy they get being the center of attention (and also how tired they get – hehe, poor things!).  This little sweetheart had her first birthday party yesterday and her loving parents asked me to be the photographer for the fun event.  It was very refreshing to see how much these two wonderful people love this little girl…  I mean really love her.  And, adore her.

Here’s just a few that I adore…

Don’t those two above photos make you all happy and gushy inside?!  I love them!  :)

What’s a party without a little milk break?

I love this last one…  She looks so tiny and sweet sitting all alone there on that rug with that gorgeous sunlight breaking in behind her.  And just look at how those long eyelashes are glowing!!  Siiiigh…

I’m loving this brand new dress style just released by CourtneyCourtney!  A comfy cowl neck dress made from all recycled materials: old shirts!  So fun and extremely unique!  Wearing it definitely gets heads turning and other mommies asking “Where did you get that adorable dress?!“…  Which, of course, never gets old!  : D

Check out Courtney’s shop….  The dress pictured here is cleverly called “Wise Cowl”.

Dress Details…  Very cute, very fluorescent ruffle:

And, another fabulous dress style that you can find available in the CourtneyCourtney shop…  Seen here on this super sweet little gal, who loved EVERY single minute of her CourtneyCourtney modeling photography session.   : )

Really.  I’m not lying…  She was seriously beeming from ear-to-ear with happiness!  See:

Told ya.  Here she is sporting a more serious look…

A little smug here:

And happy again:

Sweet, little ruffle detail on this dress too…  And the pattern on this particular dress’ sleeves is divine, in my opinion!  I just love how it adds a little soft element to the dress!  Adorable!

That’s all for now…..  Check ya later!  :D

Everything about the photos in this entire post makes me happy!  I love the expressions.  The sparkling eyes.  The laughter.  Everything.

Now, I may be a little bit biased (because these are of my nieces and nephew), but seriously they are some of the cutest pictures I think I’ve ever taken!  I love their entire set of photos!  Everyone was in great spirits and literally did every pose and movement that I asked them to do, without a single complaint…. And, the girls had fun creating their own poses too, which were very interesting to say the least.  hehe.

Enjoy…

These are to be used on Little Miss’ 1 year birthday invites… So sweet and cheerful, don’t you think?!

And Little Miss’ older sisters…

I love this next ones sooo much… I must get one made for me, too!

She’s so stinking cute… I just love it!

And this little one here… She was just adorable .  I love how all these turned out… Perfect!!

And, of course, we got some of the whole clan… Which included big brother (my nephew)!

And lastly…

Oh wait… That can’t be the last one!

I didn’t include one of big brother by himself!  Oops…. Here is Mr. Handsome hamming it up for me.  :D

What a session… Full of playing and fun!  This was the second time I’ve gotten to work with this little sweetie… and I was shocked to see how big he’s gotten since last year.  So much taller, but just as handsome as before.  ;)

Here’s a few that I loved right away…

And, of course, one of the sweet-as-can-be (and rather large) family pooch:
