Mr. Adorable

We did these pictures at her sister’s beautiful home and I loved the wood, stone, natural light….everything in there made for gorgeous pictures. He held his smiles for quite a while but really gave them up at the end. Hope you enjoy your peek:)

Put the camera down

I know that my friend here in the pictures is afraid…very afraid….of what I’m going to write about her family session. And I could really torture her. But it’s the Christmas season and I guess I’d better not:) Just kidding girl! It’s always so stressful being the person in the pictures, especially wrangling kiddos that don’t want to be in the picture. And on this particular afternoon Mr. Noah did not want to be in the pictures. He ran, he told me to stop taking pictures of him, he was doing some kind of ninja moves, and he wouldn’t crack a single smile if I was in the vicinity. His mom even came prepared with candy for bribery but he is stubborn. So stubborn that the candy was right in front of him and he wouldn’t be bribed. Yet we got one of my favorite pictures of all time. It’s the first picture here…The one where his dad is chasing him. Just look at that smile. He looks so happy and adorable. And his sister is little Miss Model. So no worries Margarita…I have Drew who wouldn’t cooperate at all for our family shoot and Cassidy who won’t be bribed by candy either:)

A couple of things…

that I need to mention. Studio Bloom Photography will have a price increase February 1st. I’ve never had an increase although all of my costs have increased over the years so it’s something that I’ve been needing to do but haven’t. It won’t be a huge jump or anything:) And if you’re already booked I’ll honor the current prices for those sessions.

Also, if you are waiting on me for samples of cards, collages, or proofs I am working on them and should send you something in the next day or so. If you’ve emailed me and haven’t heard back please send me another one or check in with me because I’m still getting reports of emails that are not coming through.

That’s it for now…Thanks:):):)

Rock Climbing:)

We started our picture adventure for this session at a neighborhood entrance that has a huge rock/fountain structure and then went to their home and finished up.

And this session has me amused for a couple of reasons:
1) I didn’t realize there was rock climbing so close to where I live
2) I imagine that there is a big ole’ NO TRESPASSING sign in front of said rock structure that was erected this past week

This family went and scoped this location out and mentioned it to me. I remember seeing it in the past driving by but had never paid too close of attention to it. Sure, let’s do the pictures there. Well, I didn’t realize that the rock structure is like 3 stories high and that I’m sure we were a spectacle to the cars driving by. But it was a blast and I love when families are up for an adventure!

Hope you enjoy the sneak peek:)

I’ve got to do a driveby…

by their house. They had me come and do pictures at their home because the husband likes to decorate for Christmas. So, I think sure, ok. Well, he REALLY decorates for Christmas and I can only imagine how spectacular it is at night. Their tree was humongous (my lens couldn’t even get all of it) and I’m pretty embarrassed to say that I haven’t even begun around here:( Hope you enjoy! Oh, and I have to mention that their son kept wanting me to hold him and as soon as I would pick him up he’d snuggle into my shoulder. Talk about melt your heart.

New Little Aggie

You may recognize this little girl from some past blog posts. Well, she is now a big sister to a baby brother. He wasn’t too much into sleeping but he didn’t fuss at all with the different poses we did. Hope you enjoy the peek:)

100% A&M University family

Sisters

Beautiful girls on a beautiful day.

Mr. Lotsa Nicknames

I was pretty excited to see this family. I hadn’t seen them since their little guy was a newborn. His eyes are still a bright blue and he’s as cute as ever. And I was pretty impressed by all the nicknames he’s racked up. I must have heard 10 during the session and I think you have to have quite a personality to have that many:)

Hope you enjoy the peek!

A Few Roadblocks

We, of course, had some weather issues on this day. We decided to wait and see and then decided to go ahead and do pictures. A little bit into the session their sweet daughter started being fussy. After a few minutes they realized she was warm and getting a fever. Poor thing. Here’s a few of what we got before that:)

Cutest little bald guy I’ve ever seen

Seriously….who could dispute that? Take a look:)
