{ A Family’s Love }

Today I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful family of three. It was their first time getting family portraits made and I was so thrilled for them! This sweet little boy, who turns 1 tomorrow, was very squirmy and I didn’t think we would ever get a smile out of him, but once we did he really performed. Mom and Dad were so patient and in the end we got some really great shots.

I had a wonderful time with this family this morning during their session. Dad returned just seven days ago from an 8 month deployment to Iraq. They are based in Germany but Mom and son came here to be with her family while he was deployed. You could just see the love that these two parents have for each other and their son. I am humbled thinking about the sacrifices that they and all military families make for our freedom.

Today was a gorgeous day here in Central Texas….96 degrees nice to be exact. I LIVE for this time of year. Here are a few photos I took at sunset tonight as the family was hanging out in the backyard after dinner. I cannot wait till summer is officially here!

{ Happy Birthday Baby “N” }

Today’s afternoon session was very special to me and I was so happy to have been able to do these.Â A few days ago I found out that my cousin and her little boy were going to be in town from Nashville. Her Mom and Dad also had come in from Houston, although her Dad had to go back, her Mom was still here so I got to catch up with her too. I haven’t seen them since my wedding ten years ago! We have kept in contact however through our blogs, email and Facebook. Thank goodness for the web! We had to fight the brisk wind to get these portraits done but it was so worth it! Baby “N” is so precious and I loved watching his curiosity with everything around him. He is already a typical boy and took joy in the simple things like rocks and sticks. I am so glad I got to see them and only hope it’s not another ten years before I see them again. Happy First Birthday sweet boy!

This morning I had the pleasure of doing some maternity portraits for my friend Kristen and her family. Our sons are in school together and we met Kindergarten year. She is the one who did the wonderful portraits of my husband and I for our tenth wedding anniversary in March. She is due in just a few short weeks with a baby girl. Here are a few from their early morning session…

My son Brady turned 8 on Monday, March 2nd. I took him out to the downtown area of Round Rock to shoot some portraits of him. We had a blast hanging out and he even brought his camera along to take pics of nature and “cool things” when we were done. My husband and I are just so proud of the young man he is becoming.

{ An Old Friend }

Tuesday I met up with my old friend Karen, her husband Ray and their two precious little girls. After reconnecting recently on a social networking website, we realized that she lives just down the street from my grandparents house. Such a small world! I have known her since we were in middle school and we all three graduated high school together. This shoot was so much fun for me because I got to catch up with her and get to shoot portraits on my family’s farm land. They are an adorable family and you could defintely see the genuine love they had for their girls and each other. Thank you Karen and Ray for a wonderful session! Oh, and I hope you remembered to give Miss R her scooby-doo popsicle for being such a good sport!

Here is your sneak peek…….

Dad contacted me to get some portraits done for his wife of him and their 2 boys as a surprise for Mother’s Day. I had an awesome time with these guys….Mr. “K” and Mr. “G” were so much fun, patient and full of energy. You can’t get any cuter than these 2! I was a little worried about ruining the surprise but Dad said the hardest part of keeping it a secret will be keeping the boys from telling Mom! So here you go Dad, a few sneak peeks…I think Mom is going to love them!
