I have finally caught up!

December 29, 2008 – 12:56 am

My hectic Christmas rush is over & I have finally caught up with work.  I now have time to get back to regular blogging!  I love blogging & missed it so much during the past few months so I am super-excited to finally be able to get back into the game.

Okay so my first blog post after my hiatus . . . MY OWN KIDS!

I have these two pictures hanging side by side in my dining room.  They are each 30×40 size stretched canvases hanging in frames.

I just love this picture of Sam’s smile.  This one hangs in my entryway in a 30×30 gallery-wrapped canvas.

Just a couple more recent shots of my kids . . . these are from early December.

I used a couple of these pictures for our 2008 Christmas card.

Family night out

August 8, 2008 – 10:41 pm

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 Andrew’s lifestyle portraits

August 2, 2008 – 10:37 pm

When Andrew’s mom contacted me a couple of weeks ago wanting to schedule a photo session for her son’s 3-month portraits, she asked if babies should only be photographed indoors with a backdrop or if it was okay for us to take the pictures outdoors. I love the fact that Andrew’s mom was able to think outside the box. As moms, we are bombarded with fliers from the photo-chains showing babies on backdrops. It is so easy to fall into the trap of thinking that posed studio-type shots are the only way to take baby portraits. I feel like custom children’s portraits are much more natural outdoors. Baby Andrew agreed with us–he was incredibly relaxed throughout the session and impressed us with his incredible smiles and personality.

Baby Brooklyn’s family portraits

July 24, 2008 – 9:02 am

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

July 22, 2008 – 8:43 am

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!
