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!

Beautiful Baby {Dallas Baby Photography}

I love the emotion captured in this top photo of mommy and baby. You can just feel the love they share for each other as they locked eyes. I was blessed to have a beautiful Dallas home with gorgeous natural light that we did the entire session in. Baby is such a cutie...I love the twinkle in her eyes and her sweet smile in the bottom color image. She was such a little trooper, 10 months old babies usually get tired and cranky by the end of the photography session but not this one...she knew she was the star of the day!

High School Senior {Keller High School Senior Photography}

I photographed senior pictures for this young man from Keller at a cool, rustic spot. I've known his mom for years now, and am proud to call her friend. He is the spitting image of his mom and has her personality too so we hit it off great during the session. We bonded, laughed, cut up...seniors are fun! And when you're as nice looking as this senior guy, well, it just makes my job so easy!

Mr. Handsome {Southlake Baby Photographers}

I last photographed little Mr. Handsome when he was about six weeks old...he's a doll and a true tow head. It can be a bit tricky photographing such white blonde hair in bright light but I live for a challenge! He wasn't sure about being photographed, naturaly he would rather be playing on the rocks at this cool Keller park where our photography session took place. I found the trick though...he would start shrieking and I shrieked back and that cracked him up! I was sure my vocal chords were going to be sore the next day! He was just being a typical two year old and I could have just kissed that cute little face but sadly he is at the age where he doesn't want to snuggle anymore. They get independent so fast, these little guys, and smart moms know that the only way to hold their babies in their hands forever, is with beautiful pictures.

Beautiful Boy {DFW Baby Photographers}

Little B is the embodiment of a beautiful boy! He looks so much like his big sister who has been featured on my blog in the past. Mommy has strong genes! He is a sweetie, once he warmed up to the camera and studio setting he gave me the best smiles! Mom waited until he was 8 months for his pictures and that worked out great, he was sitting up much easier and that's such a good age for babies. Babies are generally very happy little campers around 6 to 8 months. I think the beautiful pictures made it worth the wait, don't you? I do love to photograph babies!
