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.

Little Man C {Southlake baby photographers}

I got to meet and photograph this cute little toddler last weekend...his mom is an awesome interior designer in Southlake that I have photographed homes for, but this was the first time I photographed her family. Mom's gorgeous and her son inherited her looks obviously! He was so observant throughout the whole photo session it made me chuckle; very much observing and analyzing what was going on. It was wonderful that he was a very good sport about it all, I think he approved of it his portrait being taken. Grandma came with him and mom and got him to smile for me...but she informed me later that when they were in the car on the way home he was grinning from ear to ear...isn't that always the way? lol

I referred to him as a toddler above but he's actually only 7 months old, a baby really...already crawling, climbing and standing up...I suspect he will be walking by 9 months. I think he's got places to go and people to see and is ready to get on with it!

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!

Short and Sweet Session {Southlake Childrens Photographers}

Sometimes you just need to capture in pictures a special milestone like losing that first tooth, a birthday or a new haircut. That's where the Short and Sweet Photography Session comes in.

It's just $75 and you get a 25 minute session and 10-15 images in an online gallery. But here's what makes it even "sweeter"...if you book and have a session now through May 15th, you will also get 20% off my normal portrait prices! Sweet!

Boys and Girls and Puppies

You know I love it when I get to do photo sessions where they also include the pets! One of these images is a "where are they now" shot. This boy and his dog were photographed in January and their image won 1st place in the photo contest (a previous blog entry below). Look how that little puppy has grown! She's an adorable Cairn terrier named Dixie and is a cutiepie. "P" who's her owner, has grown so much too, lost his first tooth and got $5! That tooth fairy pays way better than when I was his age.
His sister, also "P", has the most gorgeous curly hair and the tinted/sepia image her, one of my favorites from the session. Mom kindly brought her beautiful bench out to the yard and we put it to good use with this beautiful petti image.

Okay, now the other kids and dog are cousins to the first brother/sister. They just got a new puppy named Marley who's 12 weeks old and adorable! She posed quite prettily for me and was very patient...but when she was done, she was done and off that bench in a flash! Her owner "D" has just lost his two front teeth and mom wanted to make sure we captured that important milestone in his life....he's such a sweet little guy and very well mannered...mom and dad should be very proud of him! His little sister "P" modelled this hat for me before running off to go play with her cousins and the dogs. She also has gorgeous curly hair and she's the little girl that's on my blog header (I told mom I get a ton of compliments on that shot, its one of my absolute favorites ever!).

Impish Grin {Fort Worth Baby Photographers}

This cute baby boy was in the studio on Sunday and our goal for this particular picture, was to have mom and dad holding his hands with baby standing up...but he had ideas of his own!

He had learned to crawl and that's what he wanted to do! I love his red hair and his little grin. Baby portraits are so unpredictable and wonderful. The pictures you don't plan are sometimes a better memory than the images you do plan. Little boys are so sweet (says the mom of a grown son...). He got to do a lot of different things during his photo shoot but crawling was definitely his favorite!
