  • Gorgeous, gorgeous maternity

    Such a beautiful family. If I had looked that good pregnant I think I would have done a couple of maternity shoots:) Hope you like these:)

    My mom is still in the hospital. She went in for one problem and ended up having a heart attack and a small stroke while she was there. It has been a roller coaster from day-to-day to say the least. The good news is that she was moved from ICU to a regular ole room today and there is talk of her going home. THANK YOU so much for the continued good thoughts and prayers that you have sent my way. It means so much:) Thanks also to my clients for being so patient with your pictures. I have been spending a lot of time going down there (it’s almost an hour away) and shuffling the kids around so that I can go to see her.

    I spent some time today catching up on sneak peeks and I’ll tackle some proofs tomorrow. I hate that you’ve had to wait longer than expected on proofs but I’m sending a little something extra your way to hopefully make up for it a little bit:)

  • 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!!

  • Katy, Tx family shoot

    I love doing photo shoots where they live because they have some great spots just around the corner from their home (I’ve done some of their neighbor’s pics before). They were great to work with and we even got to add their 2 dogs into some of the poses. Sorry again for the lateness on the blog sneak peek…hope you enjoy:)

  • Family Shoot at Sam Houston Park

    I had only been to this location once before and remembered that finding a parking spot might be an issue. There are one-way streets all around and if you get caught on one of them without finding a parking spot you have to go quite a ways to turn back around (don’t ask me how I know this:)) Anyways, we were lucky and found a parking spot the first time. It was a really pretty evening although pretty darn hot! The thing I really enjoy about a large family is seeing how they interact together. You know, there’s always some joking around, sarcasm and silliness…chasing kids and bribery. It’s exactly how it was when my own family did large group pictures last October.

    Hope you guys enjoy your peek. Sorry that it took so long!

  • 9 Months

    and she’s walking. Not just unsteady steps but like when you put her down she is off! She is so adorable though with her little bottom teeth shining bright every time she smiles.

    On a personal note my mom has been put in the hospital twice since last Thursday and is there now. I’ve had a lot of hours there and am quickly falling behind on everything. I’m trying to not have to cancel any sessions but I may be a little behind on sneak peeks and proofs. This is when I really wished that I worked off of a laptop. Personally, I don’t like the feel of working on them but oh the work I could have done if I would have had a laptop with me. I hope everyone understands and please know that I haven’t forgotten your pics.

  • Beach 2010

    Parents, grandparents, and 4 kiddos for this beach session. They found a great new neighborhood on the beach for this session and I loved it. When the grandparents arrived first they were surprised to find a sandcastle-building contest going on with tons of people on the beach (oh no!) but by the time that we met up for the session they had cleared out (great news for us!).

  • Family of 3 and 1-more-to-be

    This session has to be the hottest, stickiest sauna-like session so far this year!! If only there had been a breeze of some kind! They have another little one on the way and mom looks fabulous.

    Hope you enjoy your peek:)

  • Beautiful Girls

    Such sweet and well-mannered little girls. Their youngest was pretty spunky and ready to be on the go…but who can blame her! So adorable. They brought their dog along as well for a few of the pictures and she’s a girl too. Poor dad is really outnumbered!

    Thanks for meeting with me L family. I had a ton of fun with you and your precious girls!

  • Family Session of 4

    Another one of the families that had to be re-scheduled a zillion times because of weather issues….so glad we finally were able to meet up without rain! They are Saints fans and dressed for the occasion. Hope you enjoy the sneak peek:)
