11 Days Ago

This little angel was born...








I am going to beg mom to bring her back, we didn't get as much done as I would have liked, we for sure need some pink in there! Baby Lexi was fairly restless and decided we were done, but I can't blame her, it was a long shoot. I need a lot more practice photographing newborns, so hopefully mom will let me play with her little doll some more. :)

Want to see something funny?

But first, something pretty...



And sweet...
And cute... (This was supposed to be just Madison's shoot, Tyler didn't agree)
And then, this little guydid this...And shoot is officially OVER...
Yep, he is actually eating my rug

And the hose is back :)

Yay for warm weather and sending the kids outside all day! Tyler HATES the pool and sprinkler but loves to hold the water hose, he will play with it for hours. As long as he is in control of the water he is happy. I tried to take some pics of Madison, too but she refused. Lots more on phanfare of course!

Where did my chunky monkey go? He is getting so thin, then again he never stops moving. All I will need to do to lose this baby weight in a few months is follow him around all day.

A Classic

So I have wanted to do these pics sent Tyler got these overalls and the car from Papa John and Grandma Carol for Christmas. It didn't go as smoothly as I had hoped but he is still so cute. He much prefers to push the car than to ride in it because he has not learned to peddle yet and probably won't for a while but I can tell this car will be a favorite for both boys for several years to come. If I have my camera though, he would much rather be poking the lens than doing anything else :). That's a 16 month old for ya.

May!

It's looking like summer! Tyler - 16 months old - in overalls from Papa John.

A beautiful woman in the country at sunset, what more could a photographer ask for?

This is the talented and gorgeous Beth Grace. Listen to her sing

I had the opportunity to photograph her out on her land this past weekend and I feel very honored for it. The location could not have been more perfect, she is beautiful and was so easy to work with. Thanks Beth!!!

More from the nature trail!

I just love this warmth and it's such a great spot for little boy shoots.. I did two there this weekend, here is Dawson, who did such a great job for a barely 3 year old! They usually give me a run for my money but it's SO worth it. I love catching these smiles...

And here is Caden...these two are good buddies and I can't believe they both did so well, I was having a really lucky weekend. How cute is he in his hat??? :)

Nature Trail

I found a new fav photo spot, the nature walk behind the playground here. It's pretty nice and super shady. We were waiting on Madison at soccer practice and Tyler looked good enough for pics so we had a mini shoot.





And one for the ladies...(of the future)

Easter Weekend

We spent the weekend in Austin and Papa John's and Grandma Carol's. We love Austin, and where they live is just gorgeous and the deer are everywhere all the time. In the mornings the kids could watch lots of them in the front yard eating, it' so serene.

We took a few pics in the field beside the house and as uncooperative as the kids were, I still snuck a few sweet shots.

First she put flowers on his head, then he attacks her with his open mouth kiss or monster eating mouth thing, not sure what it is lol...

Then he hugs her! YES! I actually have the proof that he likes her...it even lasted about a whole minute. A few minutes later, he did it again! Then he threw grass at her...that's a brother for ya.
She was so not into pictures, so this is the best I got.

We went to a nursery for an easter egg hunt. Tyler was sleepy and not really into it, he doesn't get it yet...or get that things are in the eggs. He just calls them balls, he got 2.

Madison did pretty good.

Something new

I was asked kind of at the last minute to do something I have never done before, a model portfolio, now I know it's not great, but I had no idea what I was doing lol plus it was mid afternoon, worst time of day for outside pics! I am pretty happy with them though, and it was fun. This girl is only 14! Man I am not happy that I have this to look forward to one day with Madison lol...but isn't she pretty?
