My bff and her gorgeous family

Angie and I go way back (like 3rd grade back and no, we won't be discussing how many years ago that was) so this was an extra special session for me. I saw these sweet kiddos come into the world and cannot believe how quickly (and how beautifully) they're growing up. Love you Angie, Brian, Adair and River, thanks for letting me spend the afternoon with you and River, I think your smile is just perfect. :)

Cute Cowgirl

There's nothing more adorable than a little girl in a cowboy hat and flip flops! I mean, seriously, how can you not just love Miss Cady? This spunky little cutie rocked the Stockyards for her birthday shoot and yes, that's a real longhorn she's riding! I love how her little personality just shines in each and every one of these shots.

The Fabulous "F" Family

This has to be one of the prettiest families I've ever photographed. You may remember the adorable H's from their shoot last fall, well, I was lucky enough to get to shoot them again, this time with their parents. Thanks, F Family, for inviting me to stroll around your pretty neighborhood and capture these shots for you!

Tolar's turn to shine

And shine he did! I'm sure you'll recognize this handsome fella, he is Ava's big brother and he accompanied her to several of her monthly shoots. This time though, it was all about him and he totally rocked it. This was one my fastest shoots ever (he was that cooperative) and produced some of my favorite images ever, too. Thanks, Tolar, for being such a super star model, hope your Spongebob birthday party was a blast!

Pretty Family

Wow, has it really been that long since I blogged? I seriously need to catch up! I really have been shooting, despite the quiet here, so be looking for several new posts to pop up this week.

First let me introduce you to one of the prettiest families around, who also happen to be very good friends of mine. We had a fun session on a gorgeous afternoon back in May (see how behind I am?) and here are just a few of my faves.

Pretty Sisters in the Sunshine

I met these sweet sisters at the garden last week on a gorgeous sunny morning. They looked so cute in their light pretty dresses and even though it was a bit chilly, we had a great time walking around and exploring. Thank you J & G, for being such sweeties and smiling so pretty for me!

Look at her grow!

I got together with Baby Ava and family again last week and wow, is she growing up fast! I just love these shots of her, it looks like we're in the middle of the forest (it was actually the Botanic Gardens) and you wouldn't know there were crazy landscaping people trying to blow us away with leaf blowers, would you? Yeah, they were. Good times, I tell ya. I just hope Ava and Tolar didn't suffer any hearing loss from the experience. :)

Anyway, enjoy these shots of Baby Ava and her big brother. Love these cuties!

Another gorgeous family

Do I have some pretty clients or what?!?! Oh, sorry boys, I meant handsome, not pretty. Check out this beautiful family, we braved a GAZILLION mosquitoes for this shoot (and I'm really not being dramatic, there were swarms of them!), but managed to have fun despite nearly being carried away. Enjoy your little sneak peek, Kendal, I'll have your gallery up soon!

Trick or Treat!

Check out the adorable characters that visited me this week. Their Pinocchio and Little Red Riding Hood costumes were almost as cute as they are. And you gotta love Miss Ava's Halloween bow, it was almost as big as her head! Thanks Tiffany, for letting me shoot your little cuties once again. I'm already looking forward to next month!

Gorgeous Family

Remember my sweet friends from here? Well, meet their sweet (and beautiful) neighbors. This shoot was almost too easy, the kids smiled on cue and everyone did exactly what I asked when I asked it. Even the dog cooperated pretty well and look how beautifully he matches his family! :)

Enjoy the sneak peek, Linzy, I have plenty more for you and will have your gallery ready soon!

The Adorable H's

Check out these two gorgeous siblings, are they precious or what? Their outfits were just to die for, especially little H's sock monkey suit! I had such a nice time visiting with their mom and Loli (hope I spelled that right!) and can't wait to see them again for some family pictures with mom and dad. Here are just a few of my faves from our session.
