Sunshine & Smiles | Fort Worth Kid Photographer

Holiday season madness is still in full swing around here and my brain feels a bit fried at the moment. I had to get this sneak peek up tonight and I couldn't narrow down the images. They all are so wonderful and have me so excited.

I think this one is one of my all time favorites from this year.



S & G, thank you for thinking of me for your portraits. I can't wait until you see them all.

Family Frenzy | Fort Worth Family Photographer

I am flying out the door to pick up my son and then get ready for my brother's birthday, but I couldn't help to pause and post this amazing sneak peek.

I love families. I love the dynamics. ;-)

And I love when I dont feel like I need to gush about how awesome a family is because the images can tell the story for me.
































And of course, the modern day real life family portrait.



Thank you so much Mr. & Mrs. A for making this session happen and trying out my wacky ideas!

Michigan Family Photography | Because I can't skip a sneak peek.

Someone told me tonight the blog is dead.

I thought I heard crickets. Thing is, I've been trying to take a "vacation" of sorts for a few weeks while visiting my family in Michigan. It's been a fabulous time so far and I've been so blessed to be able to finally get ten gazillion pictures of my son just as he's about to turn two. Sometimes when things get busy for me I stop taking pictures of him because I'm so tired of being behind the camera. Or I do take the pictures, and then they sit on my computer and never get printed because I forget I have them.

But tonight I had to revive this old blog for a minute and share a special session with everyone. I met up with my dearest friend Corrine and was introduced to a very special man in her life. We spent a couple hours together at a park trying to beat the rain and when we were finally finished I had to hold my camera under my shirt because the raindrops were so fat that I was afraid they'd hurt it. What can I say, I'm a little over protective of my camera.

And so, at midnight, I thought I would share a small handful of the images from the day to help put everyone's mind at ease about how it went.

To start I'll just say that the kids were a little excited. ;-)






Look Dad, I told you not to worry about her making silly faces. I'm still faster. ;-)



And one of my newest favorites ever



We were leaving the park and the rain stopped and I called Corrine from the car and told her to stop on this dirt road real quick. I almost didnt call her because I didnt want to push my luck with the kids, but I'm so glad I did.







Darling, I love you, can't wait to see you again next Thursday. Call me.

Sneak Peek | Fort Worth Family Photographer

I am blessed to have found a very dear friend who has a daughter the same age as my son. They are actually only a month apart in their births and this has lead to us having some wonderful playdates and conversations comparing the latest sleep trends and sharing parenting tricks and ideas. When I was asked if I would take some pictures for L's 2nd birthday I was honored and quickly scheduled a session before my vacation because I was so excited to try out a new location.

The day of the session we were met with huge storm clouds and buckets of rain, but we decided not to cancel just yet, and our faith paid off as just about the time we were originally planning to do the session the skies opened up and out came the sun in all it's golden glory.

Sneak Peek | Fort Worth Senior Portraits

I had the wonderful experience of meeting a fabulous young woman this past weekend. We spent four hours together braving the summer heat and talking about whistling and snapping fingers, and, oh yeah, also took her senior portraits. We had so many amazing images I just couldn't limit myself and had to post an extra long sneak peek tonight.








Of these two, I can't decide which I like better. Thoughts?







And of course, we made our way downtown for some fabulous night photography. It was a perfect evening for it and while I have just gobs of pictures to look through, I thought I would post two of them here quickly.






Thanks so much for an amazing time S & Dad. I'm glad you two stuck it out for the whole session despite some crazy ideas of mine.
