Sam + Ethan

February 14, 2010 – 12:01 am

These 9 year old boys were a ton of fun last weekend, and I was so thrilled to finally meet them after years of hearing about them from my dear friend, Jenny. Their dad delivered Katie a few weeks ago (and Maggie before that), and this session had to be kept under wraps so they could surprise him. I heard one of them may have slipped a bit after our session, but I am quite sure that he will still enjoy the slideshow link he’ll be given on Valentine’s Day. What better gift?

These boys might be twins, but they are quick to make sure that folks know how very different they are. I could have sat and chatted with them for *hours*…they were hilarious!

Skateboarder Ethan…social, chatty, never met a stranger:

Artist Sam…sensitive, intuitive, creative:

“*eye*+*heart*+*Daddy*”…who could say it better?

Caden + Jade

January 11, 2010 – 10:41 pm

Yesterday afternoon we braved the (warmer, but still brrrr!) chilly weather and hit the back alleys of Deep Ellum for Jade and Caden’s session. These two kids? Total troopers.

I had the best time with these two…they were so easy to play with, quick to laugh, and quicker to love on each other and their cute parents.

Jade had THE best expressions:

I’m realizing now that I grabbed a slew of images to show for their sneak peek that are all of Jade’s awesomely funny faces. I *promise* that I grabbed a few of her happy self too. Just look:

But once she’s done, she’s DONE (her ‘bottom was cold’…mine was too. I don’t blame her!)

I hope you guys were able to snag that hot chocolate at dinner! I think I’ve developed a craving for it after hearing Jade tell me all about why she loves her some hot chocolate. It tastes like chocolate! But HOT! LOL. Love these kids!

Greyson, Hadley + Alex

Think it was a tad chilly outside this morning? Trust me, it was COOOOLD. Greyson, Hadley, Alex, their parents and I all trooped outside this morning for the baby’s six month babyplan session…and I think my fingers and toes are ALMOST thawed.

That being said, as I look through the images and try to pick just a FEW for the blog…I love that these kids? They just go with it. You’d never know it was 35 degrees, with ice in the puddles around us (or that they drove an hour and a half to be there this morning).

Rockstars…all of them.

Meet Thomas. He’s almost 8, is in the second grade, and has a girl that is a friend (NOT a “girlfriend”). We hit the streets of Deep Ellum yesterday with his rockin’ skateboard, a few cool outfits, and his mom to cheer him on. He has some serious skateboarding moves, and these absolutely gorgeous blue eyes. I just love this age!

He was such a little fashion model! But his biggest fan? His gorgeous, soft hearted, amazing mom. She was our homestudy caseworker for our adoption, and got to know our family VERY well (and she still likes us! She even approved our homestudy! Obviously she’s a smart woman BESIDES being beautiful both inside and out :) )

Sofia + Jake

November 22, 2009 – 6:36 pm

My two eldest (Sam and Ben) have best friends that just happen to also be brother and sister…meet Jake and Sofia (and their gorgeous parents). These kids are at our house (or ours are at theirs) just as often as they can finagle it, and of course we love it because they are just the sweetest, most respectful kids with great big hearts (and we parents KNOW how important that is!).

Jake and Sof’s mom is also the magic behind several of Sugar’s gorgeous mommies…her hair and makeup skills are incredible, and her cute new salon, Moxie, is about as funky and cool as it gets.

Sweet and sexy, all at the same time:
