I thought this mom-to-be looked magnificent! Such a nice family and I loved everything about hanging with them except the heat! I had 2 sessions back-to-back this day in the am but afterwards said that that would probably be the last mid-day shoot for months! It was hot, hot, hot. And the funniest part of the shoot was when mom and dad would bribe their daughter with an M&M. She would literally take at least 3 or 4 bites of each one. Those things are tiny and to be able to make it last for several bites is pure talent. I can’t even stick to just eating one whole one at a time…it has to be a whole handful.

I brought home…
some new props. If you’ve read my blog much you’ll know that I’m completely out of room for more props. AND my husband stresses this ALL.THE.TIME. But, the problem is that I’ve wanted to use these for years and knew that I had this shoot with 2 teen sisters coming up and knew it would be perfect for them. I really need a warehouse…that would solve my room for props problem:) maybe.
These beautiful sisters are older versions of what I envision my girls to be like when they are this age…personality-wise. It’ll be interesting to see if it turns out that way. Anyways, they are super sweet, fun, and highly entertaining (just picture chicken fights atop tires and rolling down hills). I had a blast…hope you guys did too!
I had a really busy weekend as far as shoots but didn’t get any computer work time so if you’re waiting on proofs from me I will be buckling down the next couple of days. Thanks for hanging in there with me:):):)
I totally made her do this shot. Thanks for humoring me Miss J!





Nothing like a chicken fight while sitting on top of some tires!

Bluest Eyes Ever and The Chicken is Baaaacccckk
I didn’t think that anyone could have bluer (is that spelled right?) eyes than Miss A until last week when I saw her younger sister. I think Miss E’s eyes may be even a little bluer. If you don’t believe me just look at these pictures. My pictures that come straight out of the camera….no photoshopping or enhancing done….have their eyes looking that blue and sparkly. Lucky girls:)
The obnoxious yellow chicken made an appearance during this session. Miss A wasn’t quite sure about him and spent a few minutes sizing him up!

Cousins
These cousins (brother & sister / big sis & lil’ sis) got along so well. The older girls are within weeks of age of each other and you could tell that they will grow up super close.
The mom of the littlest one was hoping that she’d be sitting up by the time of our session but she wasn’t quite ready…almost though. They were bribed with ice cream and I hope you got them lots of scoops with lots of sprinkles because they did really great!
Hope your families enjoy the sneak peek:)

For A Little While…
he was super shy, hanging on to mom or dad’s leg. But once he warmed up to me and found that he really, really liked Cassidy (my daughter and assistant for the day) then he was busy and independent. When I looked through the pictures afterward I noticed that he was running in a ton of them so I had to include a set of running pics. You can even see Cassidy running beside him. And in honor of Mother’s Day I included lots of him and mom.
Hope you enjoy. It was great to meet you guys:)

A boy and his drama-mama sister
I just had to include some that shows her drama-mama personality shining through. I’m pretty sure her mom is going to crack up…she was there witnessing it all! I love the one with the 2 of them in the chair and her brother has just given up. Her booty needed more space in the chair…she was pushing on him…and then when he throws his head down in exasperation she goes for the perfect pose.
I ended up picking too many pics for the sneak peek and meant to narrow it down and then ended up with all of them…what do ya do? So, there you go…lots of pics of your cute kids. Hope you enjoy the peek:)

A sweet little angel and her wonderful brother
These 2 kiddos are from Oklahoma but were in town for this cutie’s birthday party. She is their cousin and I’ll have a sneak peek of her up this week as well:)
Miss M has had a heart issue since she was little but at her recent doctor appointment she got some great news…a clean bill of health! So, her mom wanted to do some pictures that illustrated the trials that she’s had to go through in her short life. She wanted her chest scars to show for some of the pics so we decided that adding some angel wings would be perfect. She and her brother were absolutely amazing during the time I spent with them and I was so impressed at how sweet he was with her.
I really hope you enjoy your sneak peek! I’m so glad that the timing worked out:)
Susan, your peek will be up tomorrow. Sorry! I’m running a day behind:(

Anyone sick…
of yellow wildflower pictures?? It’s hard not to incorporate these gorgeous flowers right now because I know they won’t be around long. And I actually like them more than bluebonnets (gasp!)….there, I said it! I know, it’s like a crime to say that in Texas:) Bright yellow just seems like such a happy color and when it blankets an entire field I love it. And it was so fun to watch these sisters play in the field and pick the flowers.
Sorry for the late peek, but I hope you love it:)
