Miss G – Shreveport, LA Newborn Photographer

I had the pleasure of photographing this beauty last week. To say that her Mommy and Daddy are “in love” is an understatement! It was clear that this sweet girl is going to receive so much love in her life, which I think is just AWESOME! Dad even mentioned that she is already completely wrapped around his finger.

Thank you L and D for choosing me for this special moment in your life. Give Miss G and that sweet dog, Miss T, a hug from me! Enjoy your sneak peek!

Look at this precious little girl! She was so serious for most of the session. When we put her on my new blanket she really got serious, and curious, and was checking out that black and white pattern in front her face. It was so cute.

Then her momma tickled her and got her laughing. Look at that sweet dimple.

Sporting her FABULOUS tutu (made by mom)!

Session Winner!

Last Christmas I gave away a session on my Facebook fan page and these were the lucky winners! We were rained out and had to reschedule a few times, but I think it was worth the wait!

Happy Mother’s Day!

The Dirt – East Texas Photography

May 6, 2010 | Filed Under East Texas Scenery, My Life | 2 Comments

When we lived in Dallas, the view of my daily drive was looking at someone’s bumper and passing by store after store, building after building. It was simply, a concrete jungle. Every now and then there would be that one spot in the middle of that jungle where someone had held onto their land and all you would see was pasture. Gorgeous green pasture. I loved looking at those pastures. In the midst of the chaos and stress, they were peaceful and calming.

These days, I don’t just live in the country. I live in the sticks, in the country. I don’t hear traffic. I don’t hear airplanes. I hear birds. I don’t see buildings, stores and concrete. I see pasture, trees and a dirt road. I see the beauty of God’s work. No chaos. No stress.

The “A Team” had their spring session last week. I love seeing them and seeing how much they change from session to session. The baby is sitting up now, the toddler is as busy as she was last fall (momma got a workout!) and the older girls are prettier than ever. Here’s your sneak peek, mom!

Birthday Boy

So, I’ve decided to make this blog a little more personal. It’s too cold and stale for me. Don’t get me wrong – the sneak peeks aren’t cold and stale. I love them! I just think there needs to be more. I want to interact with my readers (if I have any!) so I can get to know you and so you can get to know me. So with that, meet my son…

Kindergarten, and age 5, definitely changed him. He’s becoming more and more of a “boy”. He loves to play: Lego’s, army, and army with Lego’s. He loves Star Wars – oh but that’s not new. The Husband introduced him to the original Trilogy at age 3. A little young for me, but he handled it well and has been a SW fan from that day forward. He loves the dirt, the mud, and exploring.

My pride and joy recently turned 6. It sounds so cliché to say something like “it’s amazing at how fast he has grown up”, but it’s TRUE! He’s still my baby and always will be. He’s sweet, he’s smart, he’s thoughtful. He is my heart outside of my body. When I was a child my mom used to tell me, “I love you more than you’ll ever know.” She was right. Now it’s my turn to tell him, “I love you more than you’ll ever know.”

My friend and fellow photographer, Holly Bonner, took pictures of his party for me. If you have kids and you’ve tried to be in the moment and take pictures at the same time, you know that it’s pretty much impossible. So thank you, Holly! Thank you for letting me be in the moment.

The cupcakes – right after I iced them, but before the sprinkles.

With his friend (or as he calls her, his “girlfriend”). They’re a whopping 13 days apart. The husband and I went to college with her parents, which means we’ve known each other FOREVER. I look at this photo and I can’t help but see them as teenagers walking side-by-side just like this.

and last but not least…..I bet you can’t guess who won the musical chairs contest?! And NO, it was not fixed!!

These sweet little boys were born very early and after four months are finally home from the hospital. Mr. C decided he’d sack out for me right away and get his session over with, but his brother, Mr. P thought otherwise. He either figured a) I couldn’t be trusted so he was having no part of sleeping for his session, or b) he couldn’t get enough of me and wanted me to come back the next day. I’d like to think that he loved me so much he wanted me to come back. =)

Thank you so much mom and dad for choosing me to photograph these sweet loves of yours! It was such an honor and I can’t wait for you to see the rest!

Why the name change?

I wrote this up 3 weeks ago and didn’t realize I never published it. Oops!

I’m sure several of you might be wondering why I changed the name of my business. There are a couple of reasons, but the main one is that it felt right. It was a change that I felt strongly needed to happen, so I did it and I couldn’t be happier about it.

Check out pretty little Miss S. and her beautiful brown eyes. No offense to any other ages, but aside from newborns this is my favorite age. They sit up, stand up, look at you when you call them and smile a lot, but they aren’t quite mobile! =)

I love this little denim dress she brought along for her session. Isn’t it the cutest?!
