James & Henry :: Newborn Twins

Wednesday, March 21, 2012 Posted in Newborns

Do you guys remember the cowboy baby shower we had a couple of months ago? My cousin Rob & his beautiful wife Allison welcomed their twins into the world last month! I was so excited to go visit them this past weekend and get a couple of shots for their birth announcement. This was just a little mini shoot, they are so precious and sweet :)

Here are a couple of quick photos I shot of the boys!

This is HENRY!

Adele :: 1 Year

Tuesday, March 20, 2012 Posted in Children

I’ve been friends with Adele’s Mommy for as long as I can remember! It’s hard to believe that my Alicat has 2 beautiful babies of her own! Her youngest, Adele just turned ONE! As always its a pleasure to photograph such special memories for my friends and to watch their lives change and grow. We took these over in Rivertown which seems to be the hot spot lately – they have so many cute little areas for photos. I love it for this age!

Here are some that I loved from Adele’s session! Her outfits were awesome!! :) Thanks Ali… for always calling me to document your loves!

I had a great time last week photographing sweet sisters Lucie & Charlotte! We headed to the Botanical Gardens in City Park for their session. It was a beautiful morning with a nice breeze! I love this time of year, the sun stays out longer and its not TOO hot yet. The temperature is nice :)

I love their matching dresses. Check out some of my favs of these 2 beautiful girls!

Well first off… it’s always a pleasure to photograph past clients, but its even more special to know that I captured Parker’s parents Wedding back in 2009 :) We had a great shoot and Parker did wonderful! All smiles and so full of energy! Her outfits were just precious, I adore photographing this age!

Headed out the door to photograph my third ONE year session this week :)
