Sugar Photography

Voted Dallas' favorite family photographer (dallas child magazine)

Welcome to The Sweet Life blog!

This little blog is where our fabulous families are showcased after each and every session. Scroll down to soak up the eye candy that can only come from photographing what truly are the sweetest kids in Dallas.

This is the new version of our blog, and we are thrilled that each of our 2+ years of blog posts have made the transition. However, our favorite links still need to be added...which we'll be sure and tackle...as soon as we've taken a deep breath and detoxed from the fun that comes from setting up a new/old blog. Phew!

In the meantime-bookmark us, let us know what you think, and come back often! We always love to hear your comments too, so don't be shy.

Bookmark us so you can check back anytime...we are especially fun to read while you're waiting in line at the post office or grocery store!

Will and Kayla, v. 2008

November 3, 2008 – 2:11 pm

These two are some of our holiday regulars, and I always look forward to watching them grow.  I first met them FOUR years ago, when Will was just starting to sit up like a big boy.  Now he’s almost 4, and seeing this family is like hanging out with old friends. Easy, effortless, and just plain FUN.

I have to laugh at this sequence of three…Just take a look:

(and then he tumbled into the grass, and I laughed so hard I couldn’t snap a decent photo of his little legs up in the air  OR I SO WOULD HAVE)

Beautiful Kayla and her GORGEOUS hair, skin, freckles, eyes, etc.  Could eat her up!

And this guy’s not too shabby looking himself ;)

The sisters…

November 3, 2008 – 2:06 pm

Little Mikayla is a preschool classmate of my sweet Ben’s, and last year her family got into a little bidding war over the auction lot Sugar donates to our school every year.  On Sunday morning we beat back the time-change yawns and met to photograph Mikayla and her family, including her three big sisters (who obviously just ADORE her).

Daddy and his girls!

I love that when they sat for this photo the older girls had to duke it out over who was going to sit next to Mikayla. And she just eats it up!

I am now the mommy of a 4 year old boy.  And I could seriously eat him with a spoon.

So darn cute, spirited, sweet and just plain yummy.

He’s adjusting to life as a middle child, and we no longer want to pull our hair out.

Happy Birthday Man!

Sugar Baby…

October 23, 2008 – 4:08 pm

Sweet Colette came into the world last Monday, and on Wednesday was placed in our arms and became forever ours.  She is an absolute dream baby, both in spirit and temperament, and I had THE best time photographing my own little one.  Not unlike every other newborn I get to play with, she needed some persuasion to fall asleep. But once she was out, she let us do all sorts or crazy things to her…just take a look:

BIG HUGE THANKS to Ann of Ann Beck Photography for sending Coco this awesome little onesie.  It arrived *just* in time, and I think we’ll use at least one of these on her birth announcements.  It is so perfect!

(see? crazy.  our great dane Hannah is awesome with kids.  I think we’ll have to get this one BIG for our bedroom.)

And this, my friends, is why I look so harried and crazed these days.  If you see me around town or at school picking up the other two kids..just keep walking. We listed out all of the sessions that need to be edited in time for holiday cards and it’s over 30. The good news? I’m getting *really* good at editing pics with a baby over my shoulder.  That’s talent, people.

And you know what? I can’t imagine it any other way.  We are so blessed.

Ben + Ava…

October 22, 2008 – 11:39 pm

Ava has grown up in front of my lens, and yesterday I had the chance to meet her new little brother, Mr. Ben.  At six months, he has the exact same eyes, same expressions, even the same hair as his older sister did when I first met her. It’s such a case of deja vu, photographing these baby blues again.

I mean, is there any doubt that these two are brother and sister?

EYELASHES!!! (and even better…FRECKLES!)
