Noah is 1

April 16, 2010 – 1:37 pm

Noah has been a delightful baby planner. Sweet, snuggly newborn…big eyed 6 month old…and now a lightning fast toddler. This year has FLOWN by, and I was thrilled to hear that there’s a new little one on the way for this cute family!

This is his “I have a rock and I’m not afraid to use it!” face. Which is better than the “I’m in an alley in Deep Ellum and I’M GOING TO EAT THIS ROCK!” (which happened a split second before…LOL)

I was usurped by the tractor working in the street. I may be fun, but I can’t hold a candle to tractors!

Duke, Violet, Gracelyn + Quentin

April 15, 2010 – 12:03 pm

HOLY LORD this post is late in going up. This awesome family drove a long way for their session (though I’m already not-so-subtly hinting that their NEXT session take place on their ranch…SWOON (and HINT HINT). We had a BALL in Deep Ellum that morning. It was freezing, Duke (the baby) had taken a nose-dive that morning and bled all over his outfit…shoes were lost and replacements scrounged up, happy Duke was uncharacteristically UNhappy that morning (busted lips will do that to a guy). And beyond ALL that…we had the best light, the cutest kids, the coolest locations and an all around awesome time.

This is, to me, the quintessential family photo…playful, bright, fun, and imperfect. LOVE IT. (want one of my kids!)

Smiling Duke did emerge…and it was worth the wait. What a doll!

The brothers…*slight* age difference, but HUGE sibling love here.

These girls are ADORABLE! So quick to laugh, eager to love, and their expressions are to-die-for!

We joke that sessions end when the tears begin…but Duke started with tears (so we ended when he got happy). Gotta keep it fresh! ;)

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.
