Baby "E" Turns ONE!

Yes I'm still behind on my blogging but had to share this adorable First Birthday Session with you before I head to bed. Baby "E" was so cute in these pictures with his little hat and amazing smash cake made by Robyn's Little Cakery. Happy Birthday Baby "E" I really enjoyed our sweet session.




Ms. Robyn from Robyn's Little Cakery was kind enough to send me home with some delicious cupcakes for my little ones...ummm yeah - those didn't even make it out of the parking lot unopened. DELICIOUS! If you are looking for a creative gal to make you a delicious cake check out her website... I know she will be able to whip up something amazing for you. Thanks Robyn!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas....

I just LOVED how this session turned out. I said this year I wasn't doing any "Christmas" themed pictures not because I'm being a scrooge, but because I've just run out of time. Of course I've done my Holiday sessions - just not the traditional sessions this year. Now I look at the pictures from the Williams family Christmas session and feel warm and fuzzy all over! :) This was a fun session and I'm glad all the kids were able to come together for Mom and Dad. Here's a few of my favorites...

The Vaughn Family

We have been trying to get together for this session for almost a year and it finally happened. I had such a wonderful time photographing this family. We got some amazing shots at their beautiful home. It was hard to pick a just a few of my favorites but here's a sneak peek at our session from Sunday. Enjoy.



Shane and Michelle thank you for inviting me into your home for your portrait session. I really enjoyed meeting your whole family. You are truly blessed.

The Martinez Family

I had a great session with the Martinez family on Sunday. I've gotten a little behind on my blogging but wanted to share a few of my favorites. Of course it's always hard to just pick a few especially when the kids are having a great day and make it an easy session. I love sessions like these.

DSAH Buddy Walk 2009

I was so blessed to be asked to photograph the DSAH Buddy Walk last Saturday. The Down Syndrome Association of Houston had over 3500 amazing people who made this event a success! So many families are helped with the participation and donations of family and friends! As I spoke with some of the families on Saturday I could see the amazing bond that brought them all together. Thank you so much for inviting me to photograph your event. I met so many neat families and the children were truly amazing. Here is a little peek of some of the great shots I was able to get on Saturday. The rest can be seen on Facebook and more on Shutterfly http://dsahbuddywalk2009.shutterfly.com/pictures
ENJOY!






I wanted to give a special thanks to my 3 assistants for the day... Ms. Whitney, Ms. Madison and of course my little Savannah.
You girls did an amazing job and I really appreciated all your help. I hope to see you guys soon!

Ashlee and Andrew

I'm so far behind in my blogging it's pitiful! A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Ashlee and Andrew. They were such a fun couple - we went to Huntsville where they both attended school to take their engagement portraits. We went to a cute little park across from campus that I totally fell in love with. Ashley and Andrew will be married at the end of January and I can't wait to share those photos as well. So much more to BLOG - make sure you keep checking back!
