Baby Brooklyn’s family portraits

Remember Baby Brooklyn’s newborn portraits? Her family loved the pictures from that session and drove in from Canyon, Texas to have their photographs taken.

Brooklyn was joined by her parents, aunt and uncle, cousins, and grandparents for this portrait shoot. We met at the Museum of the Southwest here in Midland and enjoyed a relaxing session. The whole family had fun at this session then went out afterwards for ice cream to visit and celebrate.

The “F” children were absolutely wonderful to work with!

This expression on Baby Brooklyn’s face totally cracks me up!

Baby Brooklyn

“F” and “H” family, I truly enjoyed working with you all. Your family is beautiful and your children are absolutely precious!

Fun family session

The “B” family is spread out across the nation. They all came together in their hometown of Midland, Texas last weekend and wanted to have some family photographs taken. I love working with fun families–this group was up for anything despite Texas’ hot mid-day temperatures!

Isn’t this baby absolutely adorable? He was putting on quite a show as he tried to figure out why his proud grandparents, aunt and uncle were making silly faces at him. Check out Mr. Personality below!

Happy birthday Hannah!

Our newest family member

Max is a three-year-old old blonde terrier mix with a great personality.

I met Max a few weeks ago at Midland’s Animal Control and immediately fell in love with him but was told that he was scheduled to be put down that afternoon. I knew that he was the perfect dog for our young family. Max is a calm dog–past the hyper (and chewy) puppy stage. He is gentle, wonderful with our children, and has excellent manners.

Upon adopting Max, we took him to the vet where he checked out perfectly healthy. We bought a supply of Heartguard, Frontline Plus, and scheduled his neuter appointment before heading home to cuddle with our newest family member.

Max joins our basset hound, Jezebelle, as a much-loved furry family member. Max and Jezebelle are now inseparable friends.

If you are considering adopting a pet, please check out the SPCA and animal control–there are some amazing pets available for adoption. Over 10 million pets are euthanized every year in animal shelters nationwide. Many of those pets are young kittens, puppies, or purebred dogs.

Which are your children?

Since I have so many photographs of children on my website, people often ask “which ones are your kids?” I really need to make an effort to share more pictures of my own family here on my little ‘ol blog. (And maybe one of these days I will even get around to posting my own profile pic/mugshot on here).

Hannah is three years old and is crazy about Elmo. She went to Nemo on Ice, reads her Nemo books daily, loves to watch the DVD, and has several stuffed animals, coloring books, shirts, etc. that feature the little orange guy. These pictures were taken last night after bath time when we were getting tucked in for bed.

Sam is 18 months. He enjoys exploring, getting into cabinets, laughing at his big sister’s antics and eating. These snapshots were taken this morning at breakfast time.
