The { H } Family

A little bit of drizzly, cold rain didn't stop us from taking pictures of this family! And these cousins were so cute and full of life, they made the weather so much more tolerable! I will have pictures from another side of this same family soon. I've known them my whole life!

Three of a Kind

I'm so sad that these guys have just made a huge move to the west coast! We've photographed them too many time so to count! They are adorable and fun and I wish them the best on their new adventure in Washington!

The { A } Family

My nephew and his cute family had me take their family pictures while they were in town over Thanksgiving. I love all of my family, especially my nieces and nephews. We all grew up together, are fairly close in age, and all have super cute kids! Thank you guys for letting me take your family pictures!

The { B } Family

This session almost didn't happen due to all of the rain we've been having! Thankfully Mom trusted us enough and we went for it, overcast and soggy and all! We love big families, especially when they're as cute as this one. Three adorable girls and a little guy too! Here are a few of our favs!

A Happy Accident

So a few days ago I was going to post some pictures I took of my son, Ben, on the blog I have for all of my family stuff. I also wanted to update the look of it since I wasn't thrilled with the layout I had. Unfortunately for my 6-months-pregnant-brain I changed the template on this photo blog instead! So I bowed my head in disgrace and stepped away for a few days.

I decided to hit it running today and get it back to a state of normalcy! And fortunately I was also able to do a tutorial that helped me create my very own Flash animated header (I have previously been using animated gif files which aren't as crisp). You can find the tutorial here. I'm excited because I love the look, and even better, I can offer custom Flash headers to blog design clients!

I'm hoping to add design clients this spring as we transition from a one-kid to a two-kid family!

In the meantime, enjoy some highlights from recent shoots in some upcoming posts. It's been a busy season! We love our clients! And here's some of Ben in the snow, which pretty much prompted this whole blog redesign!

The { G } Family

Here are my favs from this beautiful family's session! We finished just before the rain started, the overcast skies made for some really great light!

Mini Session – The { F } Family

My sister has known this family for so long and I was excited when they wanted to do a Mini Session! We haven't shot at the Canals in so long it was fun to go back. It was a popular day there and, as it can sometimes be, super windy!! Luckily their little guy did awesome, and he obviously could not be any cuter. His smile kills me! Here is a quick peek!

I ♥ Faces – Sun Flare

When I saw this week's contest was sun flare I was so excited, especially since Becker is the judge this week! One thing I love doing is blow out shots with subtle flare behind my clients. This gorgeous couple has been my fav engagement session so far. You'd never know we were standing in the middle of a parking lot in a busy entertainment district of downtown Dallas for this shot. Here's my entry for I Faces!
