Family night out

Tonight we had a portrait session for our church directory.  The pictures were taken by a national picture-chain that frequently does these types of church directory pictures.  The pictures turned out as we expected.  Hannah has a very bored/solemn/angry look on her face and Sam is almost rolling his eyes in the picture while Brian & I look awkward . . . and that was the BEST of the seven pictures they gave us to choose from!

We did have fun after the portrait session though.  We went out to eat & the kids got to hear a mariachi band for the first time.  Hannah & Sam could hardly keep their eyes off of the musicians.

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!

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

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.

Children and family

Last Thursday I met with the Hopper/Hardy family for a children & family session. This extended family came together for a photography session so that they could get some updated pictures of their own children as well as a picture with all of the cousins together. These children were cracking me up the whole time–they are a lively group who are fun to interact with!

I am also looking forward to working with Cory Hardy (6th picture down) for a commercial photography shoot in the near future. He owns a company that inspects commercial vehicles and they have requested some professional images for their website and advertising.

Newborn baby & a proud big brother

One of the perks of my job is having the opportunity to work with newborn babies during their first weeks of life. I absolutely love crinkly newborn skin! On Thursday I worked with a wonderful Midland family to capture some photographs of their baby girl and her proud big brother.

Jaxon has the cutest laugh! We played games and caught some fun expressions.
