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!

A Pair of Princesses {Southlake Childrens Photographers}

Here are some from a recent session of one of my Arlington families. It had been a few years since I last photographed them....wow! I couldn't believe how they'd grown. The time just flies and kids just grow like weeds! They were so cute and fun to work with...I think they had a good time being silly with me for the Southlake photography session, I know I did. They were a breath of fresh air during spring break in Fort Worth!

Last Call for Sessions!!!

I am going to open up a few more slots for 3:30/4:00ish during the week so if you have been trying to get an appt and I just haven't had any....jump on 'em! As you know the weekends go really fast and I have 1 afternoon weekend slot left and that's it! That would be the Friday, Saturday or Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend so let me know if you want that one....what with my family and my customer's families all being in town for the holidays that's all that's available...don't miss out!

Call 817.975.5387 to book one of the remaining slots, thanks and happy holidays!

Brother Love {Southlake childrens photography}

Well, maybe brother cooties...big sis here isn't too sure of having to kiss her little brother. But turnabout was fair play so he got to do it right back to her. Siblings are so funny...don't want to sit too close, or have to touch each other or sometimes breathe the same air. Brings back memories for sure! These two are really close and love each other but it was a hot day and I can't blame them for not wanting to be too touchy/feely.

They came in all the way from New Jersey to see me. Okay, well they were in town seeing family and did a session with me while they were here. But saying it the first way sounded better didn't it? This is one of my long time customers and they moved about three years ago but we still fit a session in every August when the weather is just so beautiful and pleasant ha ha!

Sweet Brother and Big Sister

I photographed this little 18 month old with his big sister last week and he was fast! But a great smiler and very sweet little boy. I enjoyed watching the two of them, they were very sweet together...just enough age difference between them so that she was his "little mother" or at least I didn't get any "little brothers - yuck" vibe from her. We lucked out that it was before the rain and not as hot as it had been, so a great day for a session. How great is my job that I get to go play with kids, and take photographs, for a living!

My Brother and I

Met this cute pair last Friday for the first time. They are 2 and 4 and very cute kids to boot! Very typical for that age, when asked to "blow" in his sister's ear, he instead gave her a little raspberry! Gotta love little brothers! And of course, they did not want to sit "too" close to each other on the bench. This brought back so many memories of my childhood and how my brother thought his two little sisters had cooties! I love photographing kids because you never know what you're going to get and that keeps things interesting! All in all, we had nice weather and the rain didn't stop us because it was so dry that it got soaked up immediately. It actually helped cool us off! Mom dressed her two just perfectly which was great!
