Beach Families

Not a lot of words today because I’m headed out the door to go back to Galveston for a day with my own kids. My good friend Kristen is here with her 3 girls and we’re heading to the beach and Moody Gardens.

Hope you enjoy the sneak peek:)

Smiles and Dimples

This little boy hands-down gets the award for the most smiles. He smiled every couple of minutes…but boy were they fleeting. I guess he knows how to show off those adorable dimples. He was really good for us…for which I was really grateful! I hope you guys enjoy the sneak peek of your precious little boy.

Celebrating 25 years

This wonderful couple did a 25-year anniversary vow renewal and decided that it would be a great time to have some family pictures of just themselves and some with their 2 kids. They apologized for the broken wood on the pier and the multiplied lily pads in the pond but it was an amazing setting. All of the details added to their pictures and I loved the location.

I hope you guys had an amazing ceremony with your friends and family. Enjoy the sneak peek:)

Their dog decided to jump in the picture.

So Sweet

I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. I enjoyed having a few days off and now I need to play catch up! Mackenzie is taking a sewing class that a friend of hers talked her into and she is already teaching me things:) My mom always sewed but I never had any interest. A friend of my sister-in-law gave me a sewing machine to use for scrapbooking (back when I had time for that, ha) and it mainly sits without use. I’ll take it out about once a year, get a quick lesson from my mother-in-law on threading it and then make some curtains. And believe me, I need a lesson every.single.time because I go so long in between using it! I’m sure I’m not doing the curtains totally correctly but they look good. Instead of patterns I’m kind of a wing it and figure it out kind of girl. Well, right now I’m in the process of re-doing our study into more of a studio that will be good for doing pictures of newborns or 1 or 2 children at a time(it’s not too big). I bought some fabric from here and I’ve been looking at it for a week. Well, yesterday the girls decided they wanted to sew so we spent hours cutting the curtain fabric, making pillows, and they made their American Girl dolls some clothes. My mom will NEVER believe it! But it was fun and I’m closer to being done. If anyone is in this area the store that I mentioned is AMAZING and I’ll also share soon how I make a cheap curtain rod.

I’ve really been enjoying the newborns. They are just so sweet! This little guy was very alert and super strong. Sorry for the wait on the sneak peek…I hope you enjoy these:)

Expecting

I’m so excited for this family. They’re expecting their second child pretty soon and I can’t wait to meet him and do the newborn pictures. They were up for anything for the pictures and their son, Kai, got into the role of photographer and didn’t want to stop. I hope you enjoy the sneak peek guys:)

Changed

Someone just might be….waiting on this post…heehee:) Sorry it’s taken so long Amanda. We did their family pictures this past winter so it hasn’t been too long since I’ve seen them, but their son has changed so much. He was so easy the last time. We would plop him in a spot and he’d stay. Well, that has changed! He’s mobile and quick. When we did some inside shots I thought that if we threw a chair or stool in there it would slow him down. WRONG! He would just move them across the floor in front of his path…too funny. Luckily, big sis was very easy on me.

Hope you enjoy:)

3 years old

Her 3rd birthday party has a horse theme and where better than to do 3rd birthday pictures than at the horse stables.

Pretty in Pink

I just loved her coloring. The gorgeous red hair and bright blue eyes. Then when we were outside her cheeks were flushed pink (probably from our hot Texas heat) but adorable however she got them. She was so good and very smiley the whole time.

Sweet Baby Evan

It was so great to have a couple of newborns these last 2 weeks and I’ll have another one Thursday. I know I’ve said it before but I LOVE photo shoots of newborns!

How precious is he? I love all his little details…his eyelashes, little fuzz, little fists.

A Big Toothy Smile

This little one was all smiles…smiles that showed off her cute little teeth. During our session she actually realized that she could clap and I have a ton of pictures of her huge smile and hands in various stages of clapping.

Hope you enjoy the sneak peek:)

Get a look at these shoes!
