i love this one of *r* and her mom! love the expression, love the colors, love the pose. i got to go out to fulshear for this session and even though we weren’t that far away from where i live i felt like i was in the country. so much more quiet and peaceful. i even brought my family out later in the day to enjoy bar-b-q at Dozier’s-yum!

My fall newsletter just went out on Friday. If you’re not on my mailing list send me an email and I’ll be sure to send you one. In it I announced dates for holiday mini-sessions. I’ll be posting the dates on my blog soon!

i can’t believe this little boy is already 2! i remember when he was born and i took newborn pictures. this time i was literally chasing after him he and his big sister are soon going to have another sibling in october! such a lovely family–mom always has the cutest outfits for them.

it really is going too fast. my baby is 3 months old already! i can’t think about it too much or i’ll get teary. i snapped these of the boys the other morning and just love them. watching them interact is the best!

on a business note–be sure to subscribe to blog updates above because this will also put you on my newsletter list. i’m working on a current newsletter with info. on how/when to schedule holiday sessions. can you believe it’s rolling up on that time of year again?  you know you don’t want a holiday card that looks like anyone else’s–something unique to YOUR family. be thinking of locations and things that are meaningful to YOU!  i’m going to start reserving holiday sessions starting next month so call or email to reserve your spot!

so the boys in the previous post weren’t alone…they have a mommy and a very good one too! she brought them not only cool sunglasses to wear but great big lollipops too!

i love this silhouette of a dad and his two boys. more of this family session soon!

*K* thank you for asking me to photographer your family again. You guys are the best and I’m so excited to get to meet your growing family. *A* is going to be a great big sister!

for Father’s Day I was taking some pictures of my hubby with the boys and just cracked up over these pictures of Dylan. Ohhh…the poor little baby cry. Is it sick that I think it’s too cute? I have no idea what my hubby did to make him cry but the little pouty lip right before he lets out a big wail in the second picture kills me….so cute!

all I can say is thank goodness for modern medicine! there are times that i really wonder what i would do if i lived in the middle ages rather than today? case in point….this friday night my husband and i were traveling to Galveston for a college friends rehearsal dinner. the in-laws had come to watch the kids and i was so so excited for a night out with the hubby. unfortunately about 40 miles outside of Galveston i started feeling a little odd…things just weren’t looking right. at first i thought it was just a little motion sickness from riding in my husband’s jeep which tends to be a little bumpy to say the least. things got progressively worse until the whole world was literally spinning around me and my stomach was oh so unsettled. i finally told mike he had to pullover. like. now! i can honestly say i have never been so dizzy and sick to my stomach in my entire life. the scariest part was that i just wanted to go home and go to bed, but we were 80 miles away and the thought of the car ride in my current state  was just terrifying. i knew i would never make it. i was begging to go to the ER. thankfully mike found an urgent care center that was only 2 miles away and got me there pronto! the sweet dr. and nurse determined quickly that i had a bad case of vertigo. thankfully several medications later I was feeling completely drugged– but so much better.  it’s times like this and during the recent birth of Dylan that I am so so thankful for wonderful doctors and modern medicine. Hallelujah!!!!!!

here’s a recent pic. of dylan that i’m in love with…

and one of a friend’s little girl…check out her eyes!

it’s been a while since i’ve posted on my blog, but for good reason! on april 22nd we welcomed our son, Dylan. needless to say, things have been busy around here with our new arrival. I’m currently on maternity leave through the end of this month but will start booking sessions again starting in june–weekend dates only.

introducing dylan-our sweet new addition!

Just wanted to show mom a few sneak peeks of her twins….*E* was definitely a little wiggle worm but I think there are a few cute ones!

happy easter! what a great day today was! my son just looooves Easter–really any holiday where he gets lots of candy and treats! last week his school had an easter egg hunt…notice who was first at the gate and first to get to the easter eggs. yep-that’s my son in the gray tshirt! he had more eggs than anyone else in class. thankfully he’s pretty good at sharing and offered his friend Matthew some of his eggs when he started to cry that he’d only gotten 2!

it was  a gorgeous day–i’m crossing my fingers that the warm (but not too hot) weather holds up for the next few weeks so when i’m home from the hospital with the new baby we can go on lots of nice long walks.

today we got to really enjoy our Easter with an easter egg hunt and  lots of candy (of course!)….

A great time flying kites…..

And what else? a commemorative photo to remember the day. Of course even a photographer’s son doesn’t always want to cooperate. Third time’s the charm! Happy Easter everyone!
