Katherine {dallas children’s photographer}

August 31, 2010 – 5:43 pm

Katherine is one of our yearly regulars, and there is nothing more special for me than watching these kids grow, year after year. This year Katherine is SIX! And LOVES! BALLET! And HAS! A! NEW! DOG!

In other words, she’s pretty emphatic about a LOT(!) of things. I loved being able to just watch her do her thing, and really enjoyed sitting back and documenting her little world.

Oh, and she’s going to be a BIG! SISTER! Which, of course, means I have to ask what the baby’s name will be. And then? Then I just start clicking…

(ps-if baby is a girl, Katherine thinks she should be called ‘Sassy’. Why am I not surprised? ;)

(by the way, these aren’t posted out of order. She really did change her outfit a few times…my little stylist in the making!)

The cute little family of three-and-a-half:

LOVE LOVE LOVE this series. This dog is PRICELESS.

And this? Is a woman on a mission. She’s got big plans for that dog, and I have a sneaking suspicion it involves baby clothes and more time in the stroller.

Matilda + Jax {dallas children’s photographer}

August 27, 2010 – 6:27 pm

This sweet family drove from far, far away to bring their cuties in for a Sugar session. One that, flatteringly enough, they had saved up for and were so looking forward to. At one point Matilda’s mom told her “this is the person that takes those pictures you’ve seen on the computer!”, and Matilda said “Ooooh!” (and I felt a little like a celebrity…a six year old recognized me (well, my WORK. I’ll take it)).

Matilda turned six yesterday, and lost her front tooth on the same day. Jax is one and, well, I was warned ahead of time that Jax was a guy on the move. He most certainly did NOT like sitting still. Or sitting at all. Or being held. Or anything that did not involve running, crawling, walking, or wiggling in the opposite direction. I had my fast shoes on today, and we ended up getting just what we wanted. (it helps that I have a mover and a shaker of my own…I know how to be quick!). So between the missing teeth and the busy boy we had a fun session from beginning to end (and lots to document!).

Miss Matilda brought her own special outfit to wear at the end of our session…she styled it all on her own, and OH MY GOODNESS was it full of sass and sparkle, wings and bling! Of course, then she rocked the look completely.

Charlie + Matthew + Caroline {Dallas Children’s Photographer}

August 9, 2010 – 4:14 pm

Charlie’s last babyplan session was yesterday and OH MY WORD am I going to miss seeing this family every few months. Caroline was one of the original babyplanners (in fact, it was her cute mommy’s suggestion that we offer something in a package that created it in the first place). Though, somehow, I think they are excited to graduate to holiday session families, who only have to coordinate and wear bright smiles while sweating in the heat once a year instead of three. So, my pity party is for me only. ;)

And we managed to end our third babyplan with a bang. Location #1 was a big, fat FAIL (don’t get us started because *grumble grumble UNPUBLISHED PHOTOGRAPHY FEE DIDN’T OPEN ON TIME grumble*), but we quickly hightailed it to location #2 and went to town…playing peek-a-boo with the 11:00 sunshine and August heat. And I won’t lie…there *will* be some headswapping taking place with the final images (after 3 babyplans, this family knows only too well of my mad photoshop skillz)…but after a quick run-through I am delighted with the highlights from our grand adventure.

This one just makes me laugh…such a typical image of a VERY LOVED little brother.

Sophia + Jack {Frisco Newborn Photographer}

August 6, 2010 – 5:44 pm

Babyplanner graduate Jack (now 3) introduced me to his new little sister, Sophia, this morning. And oh my…if she isn’t the spitting image of her big brother at the same age! (Which reminds me…what happened to Pumpkin? I forgot to ask!).

They just don’t come sweeter, easier, or sleepier than Sophia.

A quick, behind-the-scenes snap of Jack. Don’t worry Sophie, he’s got you covered.

Edith + Greta + Henry {Dallas Newborn Photographer}

August 6, 2010 – 5:33 pm

6 day old Edith *may* be the youngest, and the littlest, and sure…she doesn’t quite know how to do more than just lay there and look cute. But give this kid a few months and I just *know* that Greta and Henry will show her the ropes. And when that happens? She’ll be able to hold her own. I just have a feeling ;)

A quiet moment with Mom and Dad, and the little one that completes their family of five.
