Do boys get any cuter than this?

These boys were so good, handsome, and fun! I LOVE the colors their mom chose for the session!

LOVE. THE. COLORS.

I loved seeing their brotherly bond come out too. It totally reminded me of my two boys.

It makes me happy when people feel comfortable enough in a session to totally let loose and show their personality and love. So CUTE!

Storyboards...my new obsession!

I am really LOVING making 10x20 storyboards with photos from my recent sessions! Each 10x20 print will have 2-5 photos together that tell a small story or just look cute!

I love having candid photos mixed with portraits. I think it gives a glimpse into the personality of the people being photographed. Here are a few I've been working on.

This little gal gave me a run for my money. She took 2 perfect shots in the beginning with a background that I didn't love (good thing for black & white conversion) and then wouldn't smile big after that. These photos with her baby are my favorites! She loves her baby. SO SWEET!

And here a couple I did with my little Valentine model! LOVELY! In purple...

In red...

Something different...

I had a wonderful photo shoot with this beautiful gal on Saturday. We took photos in one of my favorite locations - a back street in Pittsburg, TX. It was quite chilly but we had fun and got some great shots anyway!

Valentines Special!

I recently set up a small studio in my home. For the month of February, I am going to be offering children's studio sessions at a REALLY great price!

Each client will get a choice of up to two backdrops and a 20-30 minute session. I have LOTS of backdrop colors to choose from. Your photos DO NOT have to be Valentine themed.

After the session, I will post 5-10 edited images to an online gallery. At this point you can choose which images you want for your prints.

Please see my Specials page for pricing and more details.

Here is an example of what you might get from your studio session!

Long overdue...

I am long overdue for a post on this blog. I guess it is fitting that these pictures have been long overdue for some editing and sharing.

I took these photos of my friend's niece over Thanksgiving. That's a LONG time ago.

She was adorable and kept climbing all these different stairs that looked exactly the same. She would sit, smile for me, and then climb down.

I don't want to admit on here that I totally messed up the white balance on this session. All the pictures turned out to have MAJOR blue tint. I was SO disappointed about that. If it would have been a paying session, I would have refunded the money and given them another session and prints for free. Luckily I was able to salvage a few good ones in black and white of this cutie!

You can be SURE that I will be checking my white balance settings and LCD display like crazy from now on!

Another sweet newborn...

Remember this beautiful mama...

Well, this is her handsome baby boy. So sweet and cuddly...

...and LOVED bunches!

Newborn twins...

There is nothing sweeter than a newborn. And when there are two there is a double sweetness factor. I'm sure it doesn't always seem sweet to the parents but for the rest of us...ahhhhh!

Anyway.

Sometimes these babies liked me...

...and sometimes they didn't.

Too CUTE!

Beautiful colors, adorable baby...

I LOVE the colors in the session. Their hair with their clothing choices with the beautiful changing fall leaves. SO beautiful!

I LOVE photographing happy babies as well! This little guy was a doll!

I'm Thankful For...

...families likes this one. I appreciate this family and what they do SO MUCH. There aren't many like them anymore.

Dad is a kindergarten teacher (and a GREAT one I might add.) Mom stays home with their daughters and homeschools the oldest. I appreciate the way they live and the choices they have made. They are good, solid, wonderful people and I'm grateful to know them.

I hope they love their pictures. This first one is one of my all time favorites!

Finishing up...

These are the last pictures from my trip to Houston. We met this wonderful family over 5 years ago when our boys were about 1. We first started talking at church as we let the little boys wander the halls during Sunday school. We quickly became great friends and spent a lot of time together as our husbands worked odd hours.

It was SO great to see them again. We stayed at their house for the weekend and had a great time. All 6 kids played great (together we have 3 more than we did when we lived close). We had fun catching up and playing games. Here are a few pictures of their wonderful family. Love you guys!

The little one is a crack-up. They call her "squishy". She is a dare devil. At the park she kept walking across the picnic table and jumping off. Crazy! and she loved it.

I thought this series was fun of how challenging it can be to get three little kids to sit still and look at the camera at the same time (especially at the end of a shoot). Apparently "squishy" was DONE!
