I love newborn skin!

Baby John came over from Odessa for his newborn portrait session.

This lucky baby boy was born to a mommy who happens to be a labor and delivery nurse.  She is already such a great mommy–I would never have guessed that this is her first baby!

Isn’t John adorable?  I love his deep, soulful eyes.

Jill & Ellie

What beautiful girls!  Jill and Ellie met with me earlier in September for their mother-daughter portraits.  We started off taking a couple of pictures of Jill & Ellie together before snapping some pictures separately.

Then we moved on to taking Ellie’s baby portraits.  She has the cutest smiles and expressions!

Jill & Ellie, I completely enjoyed working with you guys.  Thank you for giving me the opportunity to capture your beautiful smiles!

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.

Jackie’s senior pictures

Jackie is an Odessa, Texas senior girl who currently lives in Florida. She came home to Odessa for the summer to visit family and wanted to take some senior portraits while she is “home” in Texas. She wants to return to Florida with custom senior pictures that are different from what everyone in Florida will have. Jackie had a blast at our session. She brought along some “entertainment” (family members) who kept her laughing throughout the shoot.

Brittany & Bubba: We did

Brittany and Bubba were married in April at First Baptist Church in Midland, Texas. A few weeks ago, Brittany contacted me requesting a post-wedding photography session in downtown Midland. She wanted a laid-back, fun session with a hint of artistic urban edge. I absolutely love the results!
