  • My Friend L…

    and her family. We met each other a really long time ago before husbands and kids. Wow, life has changed since that time!
    I was great getting to see you guys…hope you enjoy the peek:)

  • August Beach Session

    This mom really wanted a session full of shots of the family having fun, interacting. I love this…it’s exactly what I asked for with our photographer at our family session in February. And hands down those shots are some of my favorites! Their youngest son was so funny. He didn’t really want to be posed for some of the few posed shots we did but if you left him out of a shot he would run into it. I hope you guys enjoy your peek:)

  • New Trick

    I have about 200 pictures that document Mr. W’s new trick. It was him sticking out his tongue every time he smiled. And the more his parents tried to get him to not stick out his tongue it seemed like he did. Little rebel already:) Loved his serenade with the guitar, his smiling, happy eyes, and his new tongue trick:)

  • Mr. L

    Ok, thanks to my niece for going and having a baby and making me feel OLD!!! They are in town visiting and I’m so glad we were able to sneak in a little photo session with her precious son. He is too adorable for words. HUGE, blue, blue, blue eyes and the cutest smile. He was so good for the pictures smiling just about the entire time. Hope you enjoy your sneak peek:)


    Loved these curls in the first pic and then the next picture is my wonderful sister and her husband who are missionaries in Chile.

  • A Big Ol’ Smile…

    and gorgeous eyes, too. Poor little guy fell down hard enough to cry before I was even able to take the first picture. Luckily, he was able to get over it pretty quickly and then give lots of smiles. Hope you enjoy your peek:)

  • Newborn girl and her family

    I was pretty happy to see a newborn. It’s been awhile and I’m sure this means there are more on the way…because you know I have a theory that they come in waves. She was really sweet and sleepy and once you got her to sleep she was OUT. Gotta love that. It was great meeting you guys and I hope you enjoy your peek:)

  • Galveston Beach Pics

    ….with one of my favorite families. Lucky for me I’ve gotten to work with them several times a year and watch their girls grow and their personalities flourish. They’re beautiful and I love their serious faces as much as I do their smiles. Hoped you enjoyed your time at the beach:)

  • A super, super, super fun family

    Can you tell that they’re fun??? And that they enjoy being goofy and playing around together. I love that. Mom says that the kids do argue with each other but all I saw was a good time together. And they brought their 13-year-old dog. He was pretty chilled out for his short time in the limelight. I’m sure it’s pretty entertaining to the casual passerby when there’s a dog at a photo shoot because I will meow like a cat, bark like a dog, squeak like a squirrel (Ok, I don’t know how to imitate a squirrel, but I give it a good try) and most of the time it works. It must have worked because I have lots of pics of him looking:) I truly had a blast with you guys. It didn’t feel like work at all:) Hope you enjoy your sneak peek!

    I love that mom likes the urban style, too.

    These guys have some gorgeous eyes!


    Ummmm, you would think that boys are a little sillier, but Miss L started this…

  • Chicken Soup for My Soul comes from….

    my job.

    This session was scheduled several months in advance when their family would all be together. The day before the session I found out that my mom’s heart was only working at 25% and she would need an internal defibrillator put in the very next day. This was the day that I was supposed to do their Galveston beach session. I knew that this day would start really early and I’d probably be tired and a little sad but I really, really hated to reschedule.

    I told Jocelyn what was going on and she was amazing. We could play it by ear. We didn’t have to do it. She totally understood. But the procedure for my mom went well and I told her I was game. And I’m so glad. We met up at the beach and had a great time. She and her entire family were so sweet and full of life and so much fun. I left there and on the drive home I kept thinking about how glad I was that I had gone. And how lucky I am to do what I love…as a job. And how awesome it is that I get to meet such wonderful people. And how when now, as I work on their pictures, a smile comes to my face as I remember the way that evening made me feel happy. I hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek and I also want to thank you for a great end to a long day.


    Runaway family member!

  • Family

    This was Cassidy’s mother’s day out teacher when she was four and then she was Drew’s teacher this past year at the same mother’s day out program. A little birdie told me that she would love to do pictures with her family (especially when her parents are visiting from England) so that’s what I offered as a thank-you gift for putting up with my 2 kiddos….hope it’s enough:):):)

    I know the last picture is out of focus but I just had to zoom in and show what Mr. N is doing to his sister. I didn’t notice it at the time and saw it while looking at the pics….too funny!!
