.The L Family.

Just a few for now....


Thanks C! It was so nice to meet your beautiful family.

.Baby B.

Okay....just one more, I think this one might be my favorite.

.Newborn.

Meet 13 day old "B"....isn't she an angel? She is so precious, it was hard to pick just a few to post!

.Maternity.

I had the chance to capture Maternity shots of one of my closest friends(a month and a half ago!)..This was my first and I couldn't have asked for a better sport,she was up for anything, although I know she must have been exhausted by the end of the day! Thanks A! These are long overdue but here they are..... Leave a comment, let me know what you think!






I'm so behind in blogging that I have already completed the newborn shoot for A's precious baby girl-I'll post those very soon!!!

.Baby Shower.

So, I'm a little late on posting these but thought I would share anyway. I had the pleasure of giving one of my most precious friends a baby shower....we even let the guys join in and gave them a little incentive for being such good sports(see favors (:
A & B,Wishing you all the blessings and love that I am certain little Miss "B" will bring to your life-I cannot wait to meet her!



Isn't the mommy-to-be absolutely gorgeous!

.Operation Love Reunited.

I immediately liked 'S' upon our first phone conversation, we after all, had a kinship of husbands in the service. It was like talking to an old friend, I could put myself in her shoes, I had walked in them before.
She called one day a couple of weeks ago and told me her story. A story of her family and her husband that she missed so very much. Her son was only 6 months when Daddy had to leave and now on the day of his return he would lay his eyes on his 15 month old son. 'S' requested an OpLove session and I was excited to do it for her! I was honored to be asked to record such a wonderfully emotional and special day in their lives.
I knew what it was like to welcome soldiers home, I had done this before-no problem. But this was different....I stood there hiding behind my lens and watched as families and strangers waited in line to welcome and thank our Heroes home. I felt a lump in my throat and then it came...that slight cold sting of a tear drop daring to leap down my cheek. I was proud. Proud of the men and women before me, of the strangers who took time out of their day to welcome these soldiers home, of the Mothers and Fathers, spouses, and children who were so strong while their loved one was overseas..... of the 'L' family who stood in line waiting patiently for Him to finally arrive!
Dear L Family, I want to thank you again for allowing me to share this moment with you, thank you for all that you sacrifice and your service to our beloved America. I will email you soon for your new address so that I can send your album! (:

...Coming soon. OpLove Session.

It's been entirely to long since my last post, I know. I know.(possibly I am the only one that knows?) However, I am very excited about an upcoming OpLove session scheduled for this Monday!
If you haven't yet heard of this program you can check it out at www.oplove.org
It's a way for photographers to give back to Military families by donating their time and artistic vision(: The photog also sends an album to the family member overseas in hopes to encourage and show a small token of appreciation with images of their own family. The family at home can also opt to schedule a homecoming session which is what we will be doing Monday. Looking forward to meeting the "L" Family and honored they chose me to capture such a precious and emotional time in their lives.

“The departure of our boys to foreign parts with the ever-present possibility that they might never return,
taught the real value of photography to every father and mother.
To many a mother the photograph of her boy in his country's uniform was the one never-failing consolation.”-Louis Fabian Bachrach
Have a wonderful week!

.Happy Birthday.

It's hard to believe that we celebrated B's 1st Birthday last Saturday, which just so happens to fall on Valentine's Day. It seems like yesterday we were all gathered at the hospital anxiously awaiting her arrival. The year has flown by and it's been so wonderful to get to watch her grow and learn and develop her very own little personality!
Here are a few shots from her party:





Have a wonderful week!

.Welcome to the World.

Today was baby A's 5 day old photo shoot! He was so beautiful and wanted nothing to do with the whole "take all my clothes off and put a camera in my face" bit! We did, however, manage to steal a few in between feedings and showers...(of love, of course) (: I had so much fun hanging out with you guys today, thank you for allowing me to capture these first precious days.
**side note: I met baby A's proud Papa when he came to our rescue to help us rent our home, he's worked very hard to get some prospects in a matter of a couple of days! If you are looking for help in that area, he's your man! http://www.realpropertydfw.com






Congratulations Garcia Family, he's an absolute angel. Hope you enjoyed your sneak peek!

.The S Family.

I had the pleasure of working with the 'S' family yesterday morning. This precious family was the kind you meet and you feel an instant closeness to. The kind that make you miss your own family. And I just loved that they were ready and willing to do whatever I asked even if it may have felt a little silly-a photographer's dream!(:

Yesterday morning was ridiculously windy, not just a little breezy, I mean GUSTY! But, we managed to get some great shots and had so much fun doing it!










Thank you A. B, and little J-you guys rock! And thank you to the K Family for the referral. I have a coupon with your name on it!

Engaged!

Over the Christmas holiday, my sister got engaged! I was excited to get some shots of them before they were on their way back to Japan...it was 9 degrees in Wyoming on this day but they were troopers(frozen troopers, but troopers none the less)We didn't have the time to search for a GREAT location, so creativity was limited or that's my excuse anyway (:
Aren't these two just gorgeous?
Congratulations on your engagement B&D, I adore you both.

Happy 2009!!

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and are celebrating the first day of the New Year with the people you love! We had a beautiful Christmas and traveled to Wyoming, where my parents now live. It was extremely cold and windy which for a Texas girl was almost enough to send me packing....but I so enjoyed spending time with my family celebrating,laughing, cooking,and eating.
I always feel a little blue when the Christmas holiday has past and it is time to put away the wreaths and ornaments and trees and lights...I just love Christmas and the way it wraps itself around every person's spirit, I just know Earth shines a little brighter on Christmas Day!
This year, though, as I pack away all of the Christmas goodies....it's not so bad. I just have so much to look forward to in 2009! I have made my New Year resolutions and taped them up on my mirror. Have you set a 09' Resolution? Making a resolution used to feel so meaningless because I knew that by the time Jan 23rd rolled around, that piece of paper was now crumpled up in my purse(or as my husband refers to it, the abyss) somewhere with a grocery list scribbled over the long forgotten, at one point very important, goal for the upcoming year. Well, My first Resolution this year is to remember the importance of a Resolution. It is, after all, the perfect time to reflect, start anew, get motivated, re-group, seek help(?)(:
I have been so blessed this past year and am looking forward to BEAUTIFUL a 2009! I'm excited about what the future holds for my family as well as my Photography and am anxious to build my business and portfolio!Thank you to all of my clients for a great 08'
