I'm loving the newborns

Isn't she so sweet sucking on her fingers?!




I love getting that newborn yawn.




I've had quite a few newborns lately and I'm LOVING it. Anyone that knows me knows that I just LOVE the newborn stage. They are just soooo sweet and you could stare at them and be simply amazed at little movements and sounds they make. And this is before they become little (and this is in the words of my friend, Amy) pit vipers that wake up from naps spitting nails. (Amy comes up with the funniest sayings. I'll have to do a blog entry just with those. She cracks me up!) I'm also realizing after all of these newborn shoots that I like to crop in close and convert to b&w for newborn pictures for some reason. I guess it highlights all those sweet little baby parts better.

Well, you may recognize this couple from a recent maternity shoot. Now they have a sweet little girl added to their family. She was so sleepy but did not want to give it up for the photoshoot. But I think we got some good pics. Hope you enjoy the sneak peek S & K.

Brother&Sister Sneak Peek









It was a little chilly this day for us (It would be warm to Northerners, arctic freeze to Texans). Anyway, these 2 did awesome cold and all. They came up with poses and were fun to be around. Enjoy your sneak peek!

1st Celebrity Clients -- Ozzie&Sharon (and their owners)

My absolute favorite. Ozzie was singing Christmas carols to get us in the holiday spirit.

I love this one. Ozzie was moving so fast towards me I could barely get the picture.






Ok, so they're not the Ozzie and Sharon you were probably thinking of...but they're much cuter! You can't always be sure how 2 dogs are going to be when you're trying to get them to pose for family pictures, but they were great. I had a lot of fun guys. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

Sweet Newborn Girl






Just look how proud he is



I know that everyone is probably ready to see something other than the "vine tree" that's been in all of my recent posts, but I just love the look of it. I promise something different soon.

Anyways, this was a great family that I clicked with right away. Mom was on the same page as me as far as pictures and had some great ideas; and as you can see from the picture, dad is really into all of his girls. I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek.

Another sister shoot...


And if nothing seems to be working, you pull out the ginormous lollipops.





but this time they were much smaller:) We did a little of everything for this shoot to try and keep the smaller cutie in the mood to pose. Her big sister was so patient and a huge help. Hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek.

Mr. "L" and family









Here's a sneak peek for Mr. L and family. His mom is a friend of mine and Mr. L sometimes plays with my son. "L" is sooooo busy. He did a great job for the pictures. He'd take a couple of a certain pose and then move on to somewhere else. I think the only time we had him in any one spot for a good amount of time was when he sat on top of a 5-ft. gate post and couldn't get down. But when he posed for the camera he was full of big grins. Hope you enjoy guys!

Complete cut-ups sneak peek





Now you have to look closely at their middle daughter.





This is a friend of mine who is also a photographer. So the pressure was definitely on to get some shots. And because I have known her family for a long time I'm posting several shots that I feel are *SO* them. Enjoy Kristin and Derrick!
