… is gorgeous.

I had a fun evening yesterday getting to know this little sweetie and her mom and dad… It took a lot of coaxing, talk of fiction birds & trains, and trailing as she tried to run away from me to get her to peer into my camera, but it was definitely worth it!  Just look at that adorable face…  So sweet and full of personality!  Thanks for being such troopers mom and dad!

Can this image get any sweeter and dreamier?  I think not.

More soon, mom and dad… Promise, they are all this sweet.  :)

…of this handsome cutie.

Look at these chubby little legs… I could just gobble them up!

This was the  perfect, little smile I saw nearly every second of the entire shoot:

He totally knows that he was dashing during his entire session, giving us lots of smiles, laughs, poses, and whatnots… So, here he sits on this little throne of a chair giving us a smug look as if to say, “Go ahead. Ooo and Ahh. I understand.“

Sorry for being a bit late with your sneak peek, O Family… There is more to come after I get back from my evening session tonight…  This was just a little quickie to get you through to your real sneak peek later on.

I love meeting couples like this… So easy going, energetic, and very much in love!  Their happiness rubbed off on me and I left the shoot feeling revived and ready to come home and spend some quality time with my own husband and family.  Thank guys… You are truly lovely.

And one last one… Showing off some of the many laughs they shared while in front of the camera:

I can NOT wait to show you guys the rest… Very cute!

Yay!  The holiday season is upon us!  I am excited to announce that this year I will be doing Holiday Mini Sessions in my own town!!  The past two years, I only offered these minis in Austin and Dallas…  They were a big hit there, but I think it’s definitely time I offered this special to you guys too!

Keep in mind… These Holiday Mini Sessions do NOT have to be holiday themed or all about family.  They can be anything you want them to be: photos of yourself, your baby, your baby bump, your twins, your parents, your dog… whatever.

The session slots are limited and I expect that they won’t last all that long.  So, if you are interested or need more info, shoot me an email or give me a call so we can get you set up.  :)

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
