  • The R Family

    We need rain soooo bad but it looked like it might start right when we had this session scheduled. This sweet family drove from Houston and where they live it was pouring. And we felt drops of rain a few times but luckily we had the perfect amount of time and pulled it off. After they left she sent me a text letting me know that it was raining not too far from where we had been!

    I always love watching brothers and these 2 were no exception. They tease and roughhouse and keep you entertained. These 2 did some of that but they also did great for the pictures. Aren’t they cute?!! It was wonderful to meet you guys! Hope you enjoy your little peek:)

  • The E Family

    I hope everyone is having a great Labor Day:) I’ve actually had a couple of days of some down time and it’s been good! Each of the kids have gotten to do something special and we were able to have a date night last night.

    This is one of my regular families that I started doing pictures for when their first child was born. And now I’ve done their second child’s newborn pics and now she’s ONE. I can’t believe how fast it seems like their kids have grown. They are definitely one of the sweetest families that I know! Hope you enjoy your sneak peek of pictures guys.

  • Family of Four (May be a graphic post to some…you’ve been warned!)

    There is a lot to say for this post. First, we did their family session at the beach last year and it went really perfect. Mom raved about those photos so going into this shoot I was a little nervous about living up to the last session. To start it off they drove from over an hour away and when they got within a few minutes away they made a quick stop. On their way to the car their youngest son tripped and literally landed on his face on the cement. When we all met up he was still quite upset (very understandable…poor thing)! We started playing and eventually he joined in and it seemed like it was all going to turn around but next….he was running down a hill with a kite flowing behind him and fell. And he was upset again. Then he was happy again and he was swinging and he slipped out of the front of the swing and as he was getting up it hit the back of his head (it was a rubber swing and not moving very much but still..)So, needless to say his day wasn’t going very well and in turn poor mom was stressed because the session wasn’t going as she had imagined it. Next we decided to go feed the ducks. From this point on things started to improve as far as taking pictures but there was another surprise coming!

    And this is where it may be graphic to anyone that is squeamish about large rodents with long tails. WARNING: pictures at the bottom of blog post!


    Just when you think you’re feeding a group of cute ducks…

    you look up and right in front of you and out of nowhere appears a non-duck! A non-duck with whiskers and a very long tail!

    Apparently, he or she is fed a lot because it was not scared and came right up for its share of bread.

    At first glance you think you’re looking at a Beaver (of which I’ve never seen in person…don’t even know if they’re in this area…probably not but since I saw a bear crossing the road sign near Destin, Florida this year you never know. That’s a whole other story) but then we quickly realized it was a Nutra Rat. And it had friends. We spotted 5. And when we moved down to a dock over the water most of them swam their way over to where the ducks were going. Two of the younger ones were even fighting in the water. And another fact in case you’re interested (I’m sure you’re not but I’m going to tell you anyway:) is that their back feet are webbed just like a duck. So, the lesson to learn here is that when you’re going to feed ducks that walk up the bank from the water you need to watch every.single.thing that walks up for bread.

  • Ms. T – 4 Years Old

    This is Ms. T who just turned 4. I can’t believe it because she’s the little girl in the picture that I get the most comments about. In the picture she is having a stare-off with a horse who is hanging his head out of his stall window. She was one then! And NOW SHE’S FOUR! At her 2-year pics she didn’t want anything to do with me and my camera but now she will willingly pose and give me that gorgeous bright-eyed smile. Hope you guys enjoy the peek:)


  • Short & Sweet

    Amazing clients that I see several times a year and I even saw them again last night for Miss T’s 4th birthday pics. They had family in from out of state and wanted a picture of everyone together. I’m pretty sure there was some ice cream bribing going on and luckily it worked pretty good:)

  • One More Family Group

    Such a nice family and a gorgeous setting for pictures. We did the session at one of their homes and it was really pretty. It was spacious with green, green grass. There was a hammock, a nice new fence, a dog, a cat, and some chickens (that managed to make it into the background of a few pictures).

    It was wonderful meeting everyone and I hope you enjoy your peek:)


  • No Warning Needed:)

    A couple of people in this family voiced concerns about how the session would go. There are lots of people….lots of kiddos…would they cooperate? They tried to give me a little warning. BUT, it totally wasn’t necessary. Everything went so smoothly. Everyone did such a great job (especially the kids)! I always love the dynamics of a large family and this one didn’t disappoint. Just take a look at the first picture!

    One little boy in a group of girl cousins!

  • Mr. B & his Family

    It’s time to catch up on some sneak peeks! This was my second time to work with this family and it went really good! Both kids were full of smiles and Ms. B was especially full of posing ideas and smiles. Hope y’all enjoy the peek:)

    It’s so cute…while he’s gaining teeth…

    she’s losing hers.

  • Galveston Beach Family Session

    Another Galveston family session. This family is friends with the last family I posted who were friends with the first family. Makes sense?:):) They live out of the country but come to visit in the summer and we were lucky enough to be able to meet up this year. It was good to see you again…hope you enjoy your peek.

  • Beach Boys – Galveston Part 1

    I went to Galveston to do annual pictures of one of my favorite families and we also did some of their friends. As soon as I saw them I thought they looked like beach boys with their tans, light blond hair and bright blue eyes.
