Super Fun Family

I know I've probably been living under a rock (and my husband swears he told me about these) but I just found out about these cool car stickers that you can purchase to leave on other people's cars. Here's just one example:



There's many wording variations (I'm sure you can imagine). Such as "You park like an ***hole". This is one of those inventions that I can't believe I didn't come up with it first. I've needed one of these at least 88 times just in the past week. Anyone have these, or use these yet?? Please share!

Onto the sneak peek. I had a BLAST working with this family. The area that they live in is beautiful and it was very easy to find good locations! And the best thing about the session is how much we laughed. They were so easy to work with and you could see how they truly enjoyed each other. Hope you enjoy guys!!








Totally, naturally into each other. I loved all of these:)

I love the look...

of the sun shining on her gorgeous red hair. We did pictures out in the field and then next month we're going to do some more senior pictures at the beach. That should be fun!

Get this: Four out of five in our family had the flu shot. I just got back from the pediatrician and the one person (Mackenzie) that didn't get her flu shot was diagnosed with the flu:( Such a bummer. She's been home all week and will probably stay home at least the rest of this week. At least this forces me to stay home and get some work done. Yeah, right:)


























When taking pictures in the...

little hut at the Japanese Gardens I now know to always look in there first. Every time that I've been to the Japanese Gardens you have to wait to take pictures with the hut. There's always lovebirds hanging out or families that have made it their little picnic spot. So when I saw that it was open at the moment I said that we should go take advantage. First I had the family do some shots at the opening and then I asked them to peek out the side from the inside. I think they were trying to give me some hints that something was off but I was missing them. Finally, they mentioned something to the effect that these shots weren't really working...I was still clueless. They came out and told me that there was a homeless man in the corner inside. It was pretty funny because I was in front of it, to the left of it, to the right of it, but from every angle I had no idea someone was in there. You had to actually go in...which was what I had them do. Of course he was harmless but it felt like we were invading his little shut-eye space. So needless to say we moved on.











These girls adore their parents.

I love...

that my senior season is starting. This beautiful senior has the most gorgeous eyes and lashes that are real honest-to-goodness inches long! I commented on them and told her that I bet she must hear comments about her lashes a lot and she said that yes, that was the 3rd comment just that day. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek:)





How cute are they?











and with mom and little sister...

Family Shoot

The weather in Texas is crazy...for this photo shoot we settled on a time. Then because of the weather we had a wait-and-see approach...and then let's wait an hour...No, no let's do it the next morning instead. And then once again we waited an hour...and finally we decided "what the heck" let's just get this done -- so we did. The ground was wet and it was a little chilly but overall not anything we weren't able to work around. Their 4-month-old was adorable. She was so good the entire time. I was so happy to see some color blooming at our location, too.

I hope everyone had a great Valentine's Day. I told my husband that all I really wanted was for him to vacuum our floors and tape the walls so I could paint. I hate that part!



















Our nosy little begging friend.

Here's the same....

little guy from back in October that I named Mr. Speedy look here and I can say that without a doubt he still holds that title! He's as cute as ever though and we all got our workout for the day (especially his mom). Hope you enjoy the sneak peek:)

Gorgeous Senior & 1 of our Baby

I was sitting at my dining room table today with my sister-in-law and she started laughing. I looked over and Cosmo had jumped up into one of the chairs and was peeking over with his chin laying on the top of the table just watching us. It was too cute! I didn't even know he could jump up there yet.

These pictures are of a really pretty senior that will graduate this year. She wanted to incorporate her dad's motorcycle and the family boat and then we also did a few edgier ones with her guitar. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!


He's gotten so big and as rotten as can be!
