Little Man turns One!

This little guy recently moved to Tennessee and I had the pleasure of meeting his mommy just in time to take his one year pics! We met at a local park and it was a perfect setting for pictures. He was such a happy boy and we had such a great time! He even did a cake smash at the end and it made some great portraits. Here is a sneak peak of the session...

Little Princess

This little princess had her session in the midst of the Houston heat topping at 100 degrees and she started to sweat towards the end. I don't know how she lasted as long as she did, but she was such a great sport! She had multiple outfit changes and her mom brought some really cute chairs for us to play on. She is so adorable and I love seeing her every time I am back in Houston!

I love this last one...I think she's thinking, "Am I done yet?"

Poster Boys!

I mean it!! These two could be on the cover of a magazine with their cuteness all bundled up! I LOVE these boys and their parents are just the sweetest parents ever! This family is just such a pleasure to be around. I get to see them again in November when I travel back for my holiday sessions and I can't hardly wait.

And He's ONE!

I recently met this family while I was in Houston on my last visit. His mommy really wanted some shots of him and his dog. I have never owned a pet in my life, so I wouldn't consider myself 'good' with animals. I know that I am in the vast minority when it comes to that, but that doesn't mean I dislike pets. I always welcome families to bring along their pets for a family photo shoot if they want them in the photos. I just hope that it is understood I have NO talent for making a pet smile for the camera:) In this case, the dog weighed twice my weight, so I was a bit intimidated:) He was SO well behaved and despite the miserable heat, we got some fantastic shots!

This session will go on record as the hottest session I have ever done breaking the thermometer at a whopping 106 degrees outside. Ouch! What troopers! Normally, I wouldn't have done a session in these conditions, but I was only in town for that day for sessions. It was worth it to get such great pics!

Sweet Innocence

I have known this little girl since she was a newborn and had the pleasure of photographing her through all of her milestones. She is always such a delight and I just adore her mommy too! I found out that she is moving so even if I make it back to Houston for more sessions soon, I will likely not get to see her again:( So this was just as much a farewell session for me as it was a 18 month session for her. I will miss this family so much but wish them lots of luck in their upcoming adventures.
This rocking chair was a special chair that belonged to her great-grandma. She didn't like sitting in it very much, but it was such a beautiful chair to have in these photos as a memory of her loved one!

Fall Fun

These three kiddos are ALWAYS fun to work with and I love seeing what adorable outfits their stylish mom has picked out for their photos! They always look so cute and she has such great ideas. I get to see them again in November and I'm already looking forward to it! Getting a great shot of them all three together is usually a challenge, but we are starting to get it figured out:) Thanks guys for pushing through the heat in your jeans and sleeves and giving me a great session!
