Remember those triplets from the Bluebonnets?

Well, they are turning ONE and I had the honor and privelege to photograph their first cake experiences, as well as some other fun family shots!

I don't know who had more fun today - the babies or me!!! This was one of my favorite shoots! The babies were in great form and everything just 'clicked'. I love it because it because it makes for such wonderful pictures!

There were so many GREAT pictures to choose from, I'm really having a hard time compiling them for the slideshow. Here's a sneak peak to all the fun we had today!

What a BEAUTIFUL family! Those Red/Blue tutu's were made for me by a local gal. I plan to implement these in future rodeo photoshoots! They have bandanas mixed in with the tulle! Really nice! The babies were EXCELLENT models for them too!


Happy Birthday Babies! This was just the beginning of the cake experience! By the time we were done, the babies were COVERED in cake and mom jumped in to the waterfall pool to clean the babies up!




Perfect smiles! I love this picture, even with Dad's hand in this one. I love the way the babies lined up and did that perfect angle pose!

Bluebonnets in Texas...

Since I decided to start a blog, I've had the pleasure, of going back through previous customer photo sessions and smiling as I recall what fun experiences I had.

One of my favorite times of year in Texas is the Springtime. In fact, it's probably one of the most colorful seasons you'll see in Texas. We've got it all - Bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrush, Goldenrod, Poppies, Wisteria from the roadsides, Jasmines, etc..

This year, I had the good fortune of photographing a set of triplets, many many twins and a single singleton - with her older brother!

Below are some of my favorite images from these sessions! Does it look like we're having fun???? Have I mentioned how much FUN I have when I've got my camera in my hand? I LOVE my job!

Triplets...


mmmm.... yummy!


Do we have fun, or what?

Helen's Garden Photo Shoot in honor of July 4th...

I think 18 months is one of my favorite ages to photograph. They are still 'babies' in the sense that they are exploring and seeing everything for the first time, but they are old enough to smile and just do funny things.

I've photographed these twin boys before, and they are always spirited and fun to be around. This time, I had the good fortune to photograph my customers older daughters as well. They are such a GORGEOUS family! Plus, it helps when you pull out all the right tools (bubbles and glittery hats) to get those smiles!

The older girls were so fun to photograph! I'm so used to following very active, exploring the world types... you know the ones ... the crawlers or the toddling as fast as they can crowd. I love the little ones, because I'm forever being reminded about what is amazing and wonderous about life. However, when I am given the chance to 'pose' my subjects, I get that chance to tweak my camera settings for some truly equisite effects.


I really think the shoot went well and we got some amazing shots. I was worried that it was going to rain, but, the sun came out and we had a fun shoot. I am so lucky to have a job that I love, working with such fun families.

The Garden's are one of my favorite locations to photograph families. There are so many scenic opportunities to capture those fun-loving memories for families.

Enjoy!

To Blog? or NOT to Blog? That is the question....

Well, I guess it's time for me to join the blogging revolution. I have had many clients ask me what's going on, or what specials I have, or can they have a 'sneak peek' at their pictures, etc..

So, I guess the answer is TO BLOG!

Be sure to check back often for an inside look at the families that inspire me to create a wonderful photo session experience.
