Here’s one of my favorite little girlies that I’ve been photographing since birth. She has the bluest eyes (I did not do anything to them in these pics) and is quite the deep thinker. She was mostly doing her own thing and sometimes those are my favorite types of pictures.

Like this one…

We had some major wind issues for this photo shoot. Gusts were around 30mph and were constant. It was also a lot colder than it seemed like it would be. The sun was out full force but it was really cool. The kids were such troopers the entire time and the littlest one was working without a nap. I was really impressed. He did finally give it up towards the end but I don’t blame him one bit:)

I know I’ve probably been living under a rock (and my husband swears he told me about these) but I just found out about these cool car stickers that you can purchase to leave on other people’s cars. Here’s just one example:

There’s many wording variations (I’m sure you can imagine). Such as “You park like an ***hole”. This is one of those inventions that I can’t believe I didn’t come up with it first. I’ve needed one of these at least 88 times just in the past week. Anyone have these, or use these yet?? Please share!

Onto the sneak peek. I had a BLAST working with this family. The area that they live in is beautiful and it was very easy to find good locations! And the best thing about the session is how much we laughed. They were so easy to work with and you could see how they truly enjoyed each other. Hope you enjoy guys!!

Totally, naturally into each other. I loved all of these:)

little hut at the Japanese Gardens I now know to always look in there first. Every time that I’ve been to the Japanese Gardens you have to wait to take pictures with the hut. There’s always lovebirds hanging out or families that have made it their little picnic spot. So when I saw that it was open at the moment I said that we should go take advantage. First I had the family do some shots at the opening and then I asked them to peek out the side from the inside. I think they were trying to give me some hints that something was off but I was missing them. Finally, they mentioned something to the effect that these shots weren’t really working…I was still clueless. They came out and told me that there was a homeless man in the corner inside. It was pretty funny because I was in front of it, to the left of it, to the right of it, but from every angle I had no idea someone was in there. You had to actually go in…which was what I had them do. Of course he was harmless but it felt like we were invading his little shut-eye space. So needless to say we moved on.

These girls adore their parents.

The weather in Texas is crazy…for this photo shoot we settled on a time. Then because of the weather we had a wait-and-see approach…and then let’s wait an hour…No, no let’s do it the next morning instead. And then once again we waited an hour…and finally we decided “what the heck” let’s just get this done — so we did. The ground was wet and it was a little chilly but overall not anything we weren’t able to work around. Their 4-month-old was adorable. She was so good the entire time. I was so happy to see some color blooming at our location, too.

I hope everyone had a great Valentine’s Day. I told my husband that all I really wanted was for him to vacuum our floors and tape the walls so I could paint. I hate that part!

Our nosy little begging friend.
