A Little Reluctant

My friend, Amy, reminded her parents that their kids didn't have any recent pictures of them. She begged, pleaded, and (I believe) demanded them to take the opportunity while in from out of town to have some pictures taken. I have to say I think a lot of excuses were given and they were a bit reluctant...so she apologized in advance to me for their non-cooperative behavior. BUT...they were awesome, I had a fun time, and I really hope they ended up having fun, too. I think they did because there are quite a few playful, loving, having-a-good-time-with-each-other type of pictures out of the shoot. Enjoy your sneak peek!







This one cracks me up...look closely at their hands.

100% Guaranteed...

that you'll see LOTs more of this sweetie. She belongs to a close friend of mine and I'm sure I'll be forcing my way in with the camera a LOT in the months to come.
P.S. The adorable white blanket can be found here

With it

Ok, I have to say that I'm pretty proud of myself for getting a Monday blog post up. I used to always try to start the week off with a new post and have totally been slacking lately, and since it's 12:06am, then technically, it's not only a Monday post...it's a early morning Monday blog post. Ha!

I hope everyone had a great weekend. Ours was super busy, but fun. We went Saturday night to eat seafood on the water and just as we got there a huge storm began. We were sat and had our drinks and food ordered and the restaurant electricity went out. Luckily, we were out on a covered patio-type area and still had a little outdoor gloomy light. Our server brought some candle lanterns and we had to ask the most important question. Can they still prepare the food??? "Yes," he answered, so all was good. It was kind of freaky to see the clouds rolling over the bay and lightening striking straight down to the water all around us. But we did get our yummy food, ate by candlelight, and were done right about the time the storm passed by.

This sneak peek is for the sweetest family! We did some indoor and outdoor shots for this session. Mom really wished that she had done some naked baby pictures long ago and realized that her daughter was about to be too big so we caught a few of those, but she also loves the outdoor shots that have all the color of the outdoors so we headed out after some inside shots. The kids were so good, even in the Tx mid-day dripping-wet heat. Hope you enjoy!

Sneak Peek for the Portrait Party

Here's a sneak peek for Nicholle's portrait party. I really appreciate everyone who came. I'll let you know when all of the proofs are ready. Thanks and hope you enjoy!!

So behind

Sorry I haven't updated in so long. It's been crazy with end-of-school-year activities. We're in full summer swing now and I'm hoping to be able to keep up with photography business.

This senior wasn't totally thrilled to have to do senior pics but had a great "let's make mom happy and get this done" attitude. He even took out his earrings and dressed up for the first set. Next he climbed a tree to please mom. She said that's how she remembers him growing up...always climbing in the trees. And I loved the blue guitar he brought. Thanks for the great photoshoot! Hope you enjoy!
