Are you ready for total sensory overload? Here is updates GALORE!

Hey Ya'll! So YES, I am AWFUL! I've had so much on my plate the past five (or six) months that I haven't blogged once! (SO SORRY!) So I am going to devote my next couple of hours to catching you up to speed! (It might have to even start with some Christmas portraits...how sad is that?!)
The Elders:
Here are a few portraits from the Elders' session! These two little girls are two of my most favorite little girls ever! I love spending time with them! They both have huge personalities are are so much fun to photograph!

Natalie and Steven's Wedding:
This couple is so sweet! I have known Natalie since we were babies! I was so thankful that she asked me to photograph her wedding! They were married outdoors in Feb. at sunset...it was so gorgeous! Congrats and best wishes!!!

Christine's Maternity Portraits:
So as you might know- this is my sister (every one says we look a like) and she is due any day! She and her husband, Richard are having a little girl and naming her, Brooklyn Rose (how can you get a more beautiful name than that??!) So- I just want you to know that I have already spoiled this little girl rotten and she hasn't even made an appearance yet. I simply can't wait!

This is her baby shower invite that I custom designed for her baby shower (that I hosted of course!)

Brittney and Hailey's Senior Portraits:
Both Brittney and Hailey (who just happen to be sisters) were both graduating at the same time (Brittney from Nursing College and Hailey from High School). They wanted to have a few of their portraits taken together- so we combined their sessions and had so much fun! It is so great to see two sisters that love each other as much as these two girls do! Congrats to both of you for all you have accomplished!


Carson and Keaton's Portraits:
Carson and Keaton (who was turning one!) are the two cutest (!!!) and sweetest little boys that you will ever meet (I would like to know how I only ever get the best clients?!!) These little boys were GREAT for our session (which included me asking Carson if he liked hot pink marshmellows and he replied, "No, hot blue ones!" haha.. Hot blue marshmellows would be so awesome!


Chris' Senior Portraits:
Chris is SUCH an awesome person! We had so much fun taking his senior portraits! As you can see- he loves baseball. He currently plays for his school (Baytown Christian Academy!). He is such a genuine and kind hearted person! Chris- we wish you the best in all you do...you are truly the sweetest gentleman!



California 2009:
My husband (Mark) and I traveled (by car= 3,500 miles...to take our surfboards!) to California for to celebrate our one year anniversary (March 1st). We had an incredible time of surfing (of course!), hiking, exploring, a little shopping and visiting with his sister, Emily and her boyfriend, Seth! Here are just a few pictures I took (many more to come!)



(This is Trestles...its an awesome surf spot!) Mark had just bought a new board (which is SUPER cool...) and this was his first day to take it out...so instead of surfing, I took many pictures to remember the day!

Sarah's Senior Portraits:
Sarah...wow...I could go on all day about this girl! She is SO incredibly sweet! Her dad is my website designer (GR Studios) and we trade services...he does my site and I take portraits! So - we have said for the past 2 years that when Sarah graduated- I would do her senior portraits...wow how 2 years flies! Sarah was recently accepted to Baylor, where she will be attending in the fall. Sarah- I am SO proud of you!




Alyssa's Maternity Portraits:
Here are a few portraits from Alyssa's Maternity session. I really enjoyed working with Alyssa and her husband, Michael. Alyssa came in with a few ideas of her own and was so trusting to let me take those ideas and still put my touch on them! She is having a little boy, Brennan, who is due in the middle of June! I can't wait to see this little boy- he is going to be SO precious!
