Worst Blogger Ever

I am seriously the worst blogger ever! It takes me a minimum of 6 months to post anything new.

It's been a busy year. I've photographed a few weddings and a few babies, but for now I just want to share some shots of the snow that blasted through Texas. My daughter has been having loads of fun throwing snowballs, making snowmen, and sledding (and by sledding, I actually mean me pulling her on a trashcan lid because that's just what we do in Texas).

Halloween Mini Sessions!

It's that time of year! I'll be booking a limited number of halloween mini sessions for $100. They include a disk of 10-15 images. All sessions will be on-location (your home or a local park/public area). Sessions will last between 30-45 minutes and can include one clothing change.

Pumpkin patches make great locations!





And little ones in costume look cute anywhere.

Sweet Baby Girl

Have I mentioned how much I love babies? I really do. Mind you, I don't want anymore...I just wish mine would stay little. Since mine refuses to stay little, though, I will be content to snuggle with other people's babies when they bring them over for photographs.

Here is a cutie from last week.







And here is her precious big brother. I just love his blonde curls and big blue eyes!

Where the Bluebonnets Grow

One of my favorite things when I lived in San Marcos, Texas was to make the drive back to Texarkana in the spring and see the bluebonnets that lined the roadways. Ever since Riley was a baby, I've been planning a roadtrip to get pictures of her in the bluebonnets. You see, they don't grow around Texarkana and I have to drive at least an hour away to see them. We finally had a free weekend and went to visit some family and friends in Burleson, Texas. We found an amazing field of blubonnets.... but we had 2 very uncooperative children. I didn't get a single good photo of Riley because she threw an epic tantrum.



And this is the only photo I got of her cousin, Clayton.


But, I was able to get some photos of my beautiful friend Aimee and her adorable son.


I guess we'll try again next year. Hopefully Riley & Clayton will be a little more cooperative by then.

The Traveling Tutu

I participated in a group on Flickr called "Me, You and the Traveling Tutu." Photographers signed up and the tutu has been making its way down the list. What luck that I got the tutu the week before Valentine's Day!

This is my little stinker. She was less than thrilled about wearing the tutu, but I'm not above a little bribery.




And here's my darling cousin, Indie. She didn't protest about the tutu, too much.



I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the journey of the Traveling Tutu.

Seasons Change

"No spring nor summer beauty hath such grace
As I have seen in one autumnal face." ~John Donne

I absolutely love fall: the colors, the weather and, of course, the food. I took my daughter to the pumpkin patch this weekend. I think she'll have a lot more fun carving the pumpkin, than she did picking one out.

Balloons Make Everything Better

I did some portraits for N's family not too long ago, and now it's time for some birthday photos. I just love this little guy. He's so sweet and just adorable beyond words. Happy birthday N!

Happy 1st Birthday!

This little guy just had his first birthday and I had the honor of taking his one year photos, as well as a few family shots.
