Southlake Family Portrait Session {Southlake Family Photography}

Most photographers will confess to each other that large group portraits can be a nervewracking experience. You have to pose a lot of people, make sure they are all looking your way, coordinate clothing choices beforehand etc. So when I got this call from the grandmother (who by the way sounded 20 on the phone!) I admittedly gulped a bit when I heard it was 20 people!

I thrive on a challenge however; I think it gives me a secret rush or something! I got to their gorgeous home in Southlake and they had a great barn to use, an open pasture with a pond...unfortunately the beautifully landscaped front yard was in full sun so that was not going to work. But they had a beautiful front porch in shade and we did use that with gorgeous results.

Other than it being hot (late July in Texas, of course it's hot)...all went very well and they looked awesome!

Who let the dogs out??? {Keller Family Photography}

Okay, I LOVE that song and got to use it for this post so sing along now....

A gorgeous couple and their beautiful boxer...he was the most well behaved and well trained dog. He loved having his picture made, when he was not supposed to be in the shot he kept wandering back in. He thought he was the star of the show! And Mom and Dad are so gorgeous and loving, they just made this a really fun and easy session. I love animals and so I was thrilled when they asked if they could be photographed with their pet. Of course!

Where's Waldo...I mean Cathy? MIA that's where! {Keller Family Photographers Keller Texas}

What the heck happened to me in 2009? Life got very fast tracked there for a bit and my blog got sadly neglected. Like the rest of the world I have made some New Year's Resolutions...eat better, exercise, keep my blogging up to date.

I did get a new grandson in the fall so he has taken some of my attention...he's adorable so its hard to resist him...he has big blue eyes and the sweetest smile. His older sister Gigi has not been jealous at all, what a surprise! So, my apologies on being behind on EVERYTHING...please check back - I promise to make it worthwhile for you. Meantime, meet my gorgeous new grandson.

Extreme Home Makeover - The Viewing!

Well, I said I'd post when it was airing and I'm late in getting that info on here...its going to air on Sunday evening at 7pm Central on ABC on March 1st. The Augustin family as you know from my earlier posts, are long time friends and Amber and I work on some photo shoots together...we make a great team if I say so myself! I can't wait to see it...I was there for the last two days of shooting so look for me in the crowd...I'm sure I'll be teeny tiny in the big group shot and will most likely look frozen when they did the "move that bus" part of the filming. I have seen the house but can't say anything until after the episode airs...but its awesome! Don't miss it!

Beautiful Family on a Beautiful Fall Day

Mom did a perfect, perfect job coordinating outfits for her group and their family photo session in Keller. The clothing colors went really well together and with their coloring (beautiful redheads!) and the fall foliage. I couldn't have asked for a better wardrobe! I was thrilled to see the little redhead, middle child...he was a doll with huge eyes. His older brother informed me that he had big eyes too...he was so cute with his little braces on. The baby was just sweetnatured and went along with all the photography poses and ideas but when we did the family tickle fight was the only time she wasn't so sure about what was going on. I guess her family doesn't usually break out in tickle fights at home! So, as usual, I'm showing one in black and white but decided to grace y'all with a color image too...I do them, I just have a natural preference for black and white portraits...what can I say?

We're Back! {Keller family Photographers}

I loved photographing this Keller Texas family last year, they were so fun; I was glad to hear back from them again this year, needing another portrait session. The kids are just too cute for words. Little miss there can give me a run for my money in the talking department! She is full of stories and just sharing her view on life in general. Regular readers of this blog might remember, brother had just lost his two front teeth last year - too cute! He has his new teeth in this year....kids are so cute when they first come in, they're so grown up looking. It's wonderful that these parents are documenting all the fun stages of growing up for their children to look back on. They're a beautiful family and I absolutely love photographing them. Don't you love this family tickle picture...I like to do those at the end and get the kids all wound up and then they go home with mom and dad! I'm sure they're thanking me all the way home....ha ha.

Christmas Cards / Fun with Friends {Keller Christmas family portraits photographers}

Here's a recent portrait of my friend Amy and her family from Keller...they came out to the park a few weeks back for some quick images for their 2008 Christmas cards. This isn't the picture she chose but its my favorite so just did one up for the blog. That'll teach her next time to pick my favorite ha ha! If you want to see the holiday card choices available this year you can see them here and the code to view is 2008cards.

Time is running out for Christmas photo sessions and holiday card orders so don't miss out!

Meet the "K" Family

Earlier last week I got to meet and work with the K family, they are the nicest people, very easy and fun session. They are "new" Texans but have already survived one summer here so I think they'll be fine. They were referred to me by one of my longtime customers and to her I say thanks! I always appreciate the referrals and it lets me know I'm doing my job right.

I love this shot (and so do they)...very pretty day and the Botanic Gardens are always a gorgeous venue to shoot in. It was a bit of a vacation for me working with older kids, and I enjoy the older kids personalities and sense of humor. Sometimes the little ones don't get my jokes....

Thanks K family....I hope you enjoyed your session as much as I enjoyed photographing you!
