Spunky

I had a super fun session with this spunky little guy over the weekend at a beautiful development in McKinney. Mom and son were an adorable pair and responsible for my new favorite candid photo - isn't it awesome!?!

Cutie Patootie

Aside from my own kiddos, this cutie patootie is one of my favorite babies to photograph. Admittedly I am kind of partial since she is the daughter of my best friend but can you blame me? Look at that dimple!!!

Two Front Teeth

Oh what fun I had with this pair of brothers. Mom invited me over to capture some candids of little brother in honor of his first birthday but I think big brother thought mom invited me over to play - it was awesome! :) Don't you just love little brother's gorgeous hair and sweet little front teeth? Fun, fun, fun!



I just love this one - have you ever seen such concentration?
Someone recently asked me, after viewing my website, if I had a feet fetish. In case you can't tell, I LOVE baby feet! The truth is that I love all of the little tiny overlooked parts and moments of a baby's development; chubby little cheeks, curly tendrils, pudgy toes, and dimpled fingers...basically all of the tiny little details that make babies so sweet and snuggly. I try really hard to photograph kiddos in a way that freezes that moment in time so that when mom or dad look through pictures of this one year old "big boy" they can find these pudgy, curly little toes and remember that he was really still a sweet little baby boy. :)

Heartbreaker

Talk about a heartbreaker in the making! I just love having friends who have kids the same age as mine and I find such joy in watching our little families grow up together. Little boy Green is no exception and I can already tell he is gonna be driving my daughter and her little girlfriends wild!

Pretty Little Princess

This weekend I met a beautiful little princess who LOVED the camera. We had a blast playing in our tutus and taking pictures with her sweet mommy and daddy. Here is a sneak peek for mom and dad.

One For The Books

Have I mentioned how much I love photographing infants? I had so much fun photographing my friend's two sons who are both around the age of my two kiddos. Big brother and I had fun hanging out in his room and playing games and then he was the most awesome two year old EVER just playing by himself and watching cartoons (the last photo) while I photographed his little brother. If only every session could go that well!!!

Dear Old Friends

This weekend I had the privilege of photographing the adorable son of some dear old sweet friends of mine. They moved away from Texas more than 2 years ago and we've missed them terribly so it was such a treat to spend some time with them and sweet little DDB. He was such a happy little boy and just one look from mom or dad produced the most awesome little gummy grin.

New life

This past week I had the privilege of photographing the birth of my best friend's last child, a surprise baby girl after 3 little boys. It was a busy week but I did manage to squeeze in a photo shoot with the sweet baby girl just hours after she was born. Here are a couple of my favorites from that morning...isn't she gorgeous?!?!?!

Mommy's Girl

I've been cringing thinking about my beautiful wedding dress aging in the back of my closet when a friend of mine used hers as a prop in a recent photoshoot and I realized I could put the dress to use again. It may never be worn again in a conventional way, hopefully she will get a dress of her own, but it makes for a great marker for my daughter's yearly photos.

Brothers

Right before I left for vacation I had the opportunity to hang out with the kiddos and sweet wife of an old friend of mine from church youth group many, many moons ago. We spent the afternoon hanging out at their nana's house and playing in the front yard and had so much fun. These brothers were just too cute and such a joy to capture. Here is a sneak peak for mom :)

Soaking Wet

This week I was invited over to spend some time playing in the sprinkler and capturing photos of my co-worker's adorable kiddos. I had a blast hanging out with the kids, dodging squirt guns and a completely unpredictable sprinkler hose; childhood rocks. I left with soaked pants, smeared makeup and a full heart. Here is a sneak peek from that session.
