Baby Brylee

Brylee was as sweet as could be with her squishy little kissy lips. Unfortunately, she was so excited to have her pictures taken that she just couldn't stay asleep. And for those of you who don't know, that makes posing babies a little tricky. With a little patience we were still able to snap some cute shots while she dozed here and there.




Jessica & Randall

So I used to babysit this gorgeous girl when I was like 11. And now she's all grown up and getting married. Does that make me old? Never! We were worried the pictures wouldn't work because the wind was crazy and then it started to rain, but then the sun peeped through the clouds and lit up their faces, making this awesome contrast with the stormy background. Must be a good omen for this lovely couple.








Thanks for all the kissy-poohs (in front of your mother) and for being so cute together! Congratulations!

Houston

Houston has to be one of the happiest little guys I have ever met. (And one of the most energetic!) When I see these pictures of him I can almost hear his hearty little man laugh. We were lucky to have "Grammy" there to keep him chuckling!

The "F" Family

I sold a picture coupon at a church fundraiser and ended up getting to take pictures of this gorgeous extended family. I love their color choices. We had to meet in the middle of the day and didn't have a lot of good light to work with, but everyone was very helpful (even the little ones!) and we ended up getting some good shots nonetheless.

Baby Brielle

I got to take pictures of this very sweet baby when she was only a few days old. Here is the birth announcement I made for her. (Some names have been slightly altered to protect the innocent.)






Keelee, Tayven & Ava

I first started taking pictures of this beautiful family a few years ago. It's so fun to see them grow up through their pictures!
I love Keelee. She's so cooperative and photogenic and extremely cute. I could take pictures of her all day long.




I think Keelee was pretending to spank me while I was leaning over looking through the lens at Tayven. Anything for a smile!


Poor Ava didn't want her picture taken at first and we ended up with a lot of these "pensively looking into the wheat" shots. But then we discovered that a stick in my hair pretending to be a spider is very funny to a 2 year old!

The "M" family



I think these have got to be some of the cutest kids I've ever seen. In fact, their grandma later asked me if her grandkids were extremely cute or if I was a really good photographer because she loved the pictures. I'd like to think it was a little of each!

Their little girl is so sassy and rarely just stood still for a picture. We had her swinging her hips and kicking her legs and jumping off benches. So cute!

Halftime...eat some icecream then keep on smiling!



Thank you "M" family. You were so fun to photograph. Good luck in your new adventures in Texas!
