My littlest girl is in love with her new blanket and pillow set…  She loves it because of the bright fun colors, because it’s cuddly, and mostly because I made it for her.  I originally made it for her to take to Mother’s Day Out, but she wants to take it home with her everyday when she leaves school.  It makes me feel good that after considering learning to sew for the past 5 or 6 years, I’ve finally done just that!  I’ve been practicing for a while… But, this blanket and pillow is my favorite thing I’ve made so far.  Because it was for her.

Hadn’t seen these two adorable little bundles of joy since their newborn session in May… My how they’ve grown and changed!

The chair that saved the day…

Three cousins.  One amazing chair.  Children who are contained and can’t run off.

That, my friends, is what you call one heck of a chair!

I love this one… Little man being silly with his elephant mask while his sweet little cousin sits there smiling without even glancing at him once.

And lastly, a super sweet moment between mother and daughter…   This is what motherhood is all about.  Making your child sing with joy and laughter.

… 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.  :)
