I’ve had some super fun clients lately…can’t you see? Loved this idea and couldn’t wait to do this photo shoot. We stayed in their backyard which was absolutely a dream backyard. Can you guess which dog was into modeling and which thought that we were wasting his time? Typical male:) Especially a typical male (not every.single.one. but most are like this) being forced to dress up for a photo shoot!
We went out with the family today for some pictures of our own. We had one little man (ahem, Drew) that would NOT cooperate. Yes, I have one of those kids! I wonder if another photographer could get some shots of him?! It was pretty fun. We decided to go to some of my favorite places in downtown Houston. Hopefully I’ll have some time to share some.
But because of my daughter’s birthday/slumber party last night and family pictures today (you know how stressful and tiring that is) I’m absolutely pooped out and need to get to bed. So, Jennifer in case your checking for a sneak peek…I promise I’ll get on that first thing in the am:)
AND FOR THOSE THAT ARE WAITING ON THE HOLIDAY CARD SAMPLES THOSE WILL BE UP BY TUESDAY!!!

Very easy-going family with a busy little girl and such a sweet little boy. Little miss brought her own baby and blanket along and gave us some great photo ops as she played peek-a-boo with us.

This was such a blast! I LOVE puppies so I jumped on this when his owner asked if I’d take pictures of her 7-week old puppy. She kept apologizing that he wasn’t being good but he was actually so easy to work with. In fact, one of the easiest new babies ever.
Ummm, he weighs more than that. That’s just the front end. A little chunky monkey:)

I spotted this field and loved the yellow flowers. I just know that it will be cut soon so I headed out with my girls and a friend of mine and her girls to take a few shots in the flowers. The only problem was that it had been pouring rain every single day, and was supposed to continue to pour, and I didn’t have much time. By the time we grabbed clothes and did some quick hair fixing, drove over there and unloaded everyone and everything, we had 20 minutes until I had to leave to go to another photo shoot. It was like “Ok, you…get out there!” “Act like you love each other”! NOW! “Ok, next”! It was pretty funny but I’m really glad we went.
I love side profiles
Can’t you just feel the love between my two? Ha I’m pretty sure they were making smart alec remarks to each other and finding it pretty amusing.
Our poser of the day
Ahem….couldn’t get a real smile out of her until we said a certain boy’s name.

This place had it all…sigh:) There were hay bales, huge beautiful trees, and 2 old rustic barns with vines growing on them. I could do pictures there every day.

Threaten to run away that is. The girls were never brave enough or didn’t think of it, but Mr. Drew is a totally different ballgame. Just today I’ve been told that I’m not his friend, that I’m not invited to his birthday (which is not until the end of May…hello!) and he wanted us to pull over tonight and let him out because he was leaving. I couldn’t help myself…I had a little fun with it.
“Oh yeah, where are you going?”
“I’m gonna go to my friend’s house.”
“But you don’t even have any shoes on. What if you step on a rock or glass?”
And then the girls had to chime in and tell him that it would hurt and he wouldn’t have any band aids (he’s a band aid fanatic) and that it would gush blood.
“How are you going to get there?”
“I’m gonna run super fast.” (Yes, he’s still using the super word every chance he gets)
We actually did pull over…to rearrange his seatbelt and pants that were halfway down his behind which was one of the reasons he was upset…but he thought that we were pulling over to let him out and that didn’t go over very well either. Good times.
Here’s one of my fave families and their new baby girl. Momma was one of my first maternity clients and it’s been so awesome to follow her growing family. Hope you enjoy the peek of your new little princess…she’s precious:)

We just did his 2-year-old pictures and he was an only child but I just got word yesterday that he’s now a big brother! Congratulations on your baby girl K family. Can’t wait to meet her:)
How many dogs do you see? It takes a minute.
These dads and all their tricks lately…

-mom brought a huge bouquet of balloons for these pictures
-I carried them and tied them onto the stroller (didn’t knot it because we did that at a recent photo shoot and then had to find something to cut them off because they get so tight blowing around)
-we forgot about them and did some other pictures several feet away
-there are signs that say “Please stay on the walkways” “Stay on the path” etc…
-I decided to break the rules and step off of said path into a grassy area so that I could get the perfect angle and at the exact moment I stepped off the path we hear…bang, bang, bang
-my first thought…they have this dang thing booby trapped…is someone shooting at me?
-mom asked what that was…I don’t know I said
-we took a few more pictures, walked to get our other things and
-the balloons were GONE…stuck up in a tree…popped (you knew where this was going didn’t you?)
-I felt terrible and what a bummer but glad to know
-the place isn’t booby trapped after all:)

I know I’ve talked about having issues with ants at photo shoots before but this time took the cake. We went to a location that I had been eyeing and it was just as fabulous as I thought it would be. I LOVE LOVE LOVE yellows and greens in the outdoor colors and that late afternoon light coupled with trees, grass, and bushes that have yellows and greens and then add in the sunlight streaming though…well, that’s what this place has. But what this place also had as we quickly found out was crazy ants — aka Rasberry Ants.
And the name “crazy” fits them perfectly. They crawl across you at a speed of like 80mph…I’m not kidding! The good thing is that they don’t bite. So we would see them crawling across our feet as it they were in the Formula One race but no bites. After a minute or two of this I said I guess we’d better move on…although it was killing me because the light, the yellows and greens, a happy one-year-old adorable girl…well I knew I loved the location (minus the ants) but how could I expect them to deal with crazy ants. But they didn’t mind…they said they’re not biting us so we can deal for a few minutes…Yeah! So, they get the award for harshest conditions for a photo op with the best attitude:) I hope you can “see” the beauty that I was seeing for this place. Enjoy the sneak peek:)

This sweet girl and her family doesn’t live in the town that I do. When she and her mom got here her mom told me her daughter’s name is Kate. I mentioned that my son’s best friend is named Kate. Then we talked about how her Kate is tall for her age…so is my son’s bff Kate. After a little bit more of this we finally figured out that her husband works with our Kate’s dad. Following this?? They are also good friends with our Kate’s parents (which we are, too), but she was referred to me by someone she works with so our Kate’s parents had no idea they were coming to our town to do pictures. Funny how things work out that way:) Anyways, she was a great little poser and quite quick when she wanted to be. Not my normal outdoor shots but it was pouring outside and this was fun for a change.
Hope you enjoy the pictures:):):)
