Little Miss Sassy


This little girl just melts my heart...she's the baby of one of my earliest families, I've been capturing them since 2001! This is their last baby (I think!) and her strawberry blonde curls are so sweet and she's at the really cute age where their little personalities start to show through. She cracked me up today by doing all the hand gestures to the song "Wheels on the bus go round and round" - I sang it a lot today...well we all did, Mom and sister too! Now I can't get that song out of my head! Her session today was an absolute dream...a little cold but after a few minutes she just explored the Botanic Gardens and gave me so many good captures it was really hard to edit them out! Definitely adding many of her images to my website - which is overdue for some newer work anyway!

Meet Baby A


Not too terribly long ago I met this family and did their maternity images. They have a gorgeous little 3 year old girl and now a new baby brother for her, "A." She held him during the session and kissed him and while Mom and Dad were doing their images with him, she took care of my studio baby doll. It was very sweet to see what good care she took and how tender she was with both babies! Here's one that I thought was very sweet...he let me know pretty quick that he did NOT appreciate me firing those lights at him! And Mom got a little wet that day, though Dad lucked out and never got it once!

Laughing Kids


This is an image I shot of 2 brothers and their baby sister along with Mom and Dad this past weekend. I was forewarned by Mom that the boys were in to the "silly" faces stage...very typical of their ages. So I came prepared...brought out the old standby, the toot machine. It never fails me! They were laughing it up big in this shot, which I just love! These are the type images that in 20 years you look back on and smile and feel your heart melt just a little bit.

A Trio of Beauties



I got to photograph this family on Saturday morning at the park. I was nervous the park would be overrun with people but we got lucky...beautiful weather and not too crowded as it had been earlier in the week. This is a trio of Mom and her two daughters. You can tell they inherited their mom's good looks! I love this shot of them, and of course had to show it in black and white, my favorite! We did a lot during the session, the family, daughter and her fiance, and some with the family pets. This little boxer puppy here was to die for cute! I could have taken her home, it gave me puppy fever bad! If I were ever going to have a big dog it would definitely be a Boxer. And did you notice her beautiful pearl necklace, you're never too young or too canine to accessorize!

Busy Little Toddler


I forgot how fast toddlers can go! Mr. E here was walking and walking fast....he gave me a nice workout on Friday. We did his photography session at one of my favorites places in Fort Worth, lots of old brick and textured wood...he found lots of things to check out and see how they worked. He's one of my redheads and in this shot I love his baby curls (Mom said she can't bring herself to cut them off yet) and his long eyelashes! He's a heartbreaker for sure!

Be a Fashion Photographer

Have some fun and do a photoshoot with Daniella via Taco Bell's promo...its addictive! See if you've got what it takes! http://www.directdaniella.com

A really fun headshot session


I know, I know...I always "see" resemblances to celebrities when I photograph headshots but I can't help it! This girl, who recently won a big acting award in her school's UIL contest, came in to get acting headshots done as well as some modeling images for her zed cards. I aged myself when I told her she really reminded me of the 80's supermodel Claudia Schiffer...and she had no clue who that was! I'm dating myself with these 80's references. Or too much VH1 where are they now shows ha ha!

Anyway, this girl has legs that go on forever and I'm so jealous of her height and model body! I predict she will do well and wish her all the best as she selects her college to further her journey as an actor.
