Sabian…

April 10, 2009 – 10:42 am

Sweet Sabian brought his parents to the Arboretum today for his one year session, and despite the threatening weather (and the fact that this was our THIRD attempt…darn you Texas spring!), we had a fabulous session.

Look at this sweet little man…I just wanted to nibble on his head. He is SO wee and cute!

Sabian came home from Vietnam in January, and OH! He is so loved.

This little looks cracks me up…he was two seconds away from depetaling one of those flowers (and then, he did). Such a boy!

Crazy hair! Love!

Annie + Lucy…

April 10, 2009 – 12:34 am

Kelly asked about a session months ago, right after arriving home with her youngest daughter, and today was finally the day…the weather cooperated, the girls were darling, and just take a look at the clothes she put together. Yummy!

We had a ball today, and from the gorgeous clothes to the drums to the antique truck, this session had a definite cool factor working for it from the word go.

For those that don’t know Kelly and Justin, they are the parents to Lucy and Annie. Kelly keeps a very active blog with LOTS of followers (no pressure!)…and as a photographer that just hung her shingle up for business, it’s an honor to be asked to photograph her sweet family.

Kelly-I hope you love!

Justin is a drummer for a touring band, and I can’t tell you WHO he tours with, but I will say that they’ve been to the Grammy’s.  And in case they were wondering, I am *always* available to play personal photographer at their next Grammy appearance ;) (I’m a giver like that)

Introducing Annie…

November 29, 2008 – 12:38 pm

One of my sweet mommy friends is Kelly…She keeps a wonderful blog documenting the day-to-day life of her first daughter, Lucy, and on Thanksgiving they returned home from Vietnam with their second beautiful baby girl, Annie.  She kept a separate blog for Annie’s trip (waiting to tell the online world about their adoption until their return), and I chewed my nails and worried obsessively about this sweet little family. Their return trip to Vietnam was very different from their first, and their flight home was bumped up two days to just get everyone HOME.  They have been struggling with attachment issues and some possible health related issues with sweet Annie, and I can certainly understand that desire to just get home as soon as possible.

Sweet Annie is beautiful, with big solemn eyes and a little snub nose.  I hope she settles into her new life with her adoring big sister and precious parents very soon (because selfishly…I want to play with her too!)

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.

Sophia meets Brenden…and the rest of Dallas…

October 15, 2008 – 8:36 am

Last week my dear friend Deanna called to let me know she had an adoption session at the airport that night…so I invited myself was asked to join her, and off we went!

We had two different cameras and two different lenses, but I’ll tell you…the love and emotion we captured that night looks the same in every photo. Amazing.

Deanna posted their story on her blog, and a few of our images. Here are a few more:
