One of my best friends, Shelly, (the who was brave enough to backpack Europe with me in February) titled my blog today: “Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.” How true is that? Having Portraits taken is a way to have a memory that you can hold in your hands (and your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will get to hold in their hands as well!) As a photographer, it is such an incredible honor and blessing to create memories for my clients, and their future generations!
It's been a very busy and fun week around the studio! Not only has the weather been incredible for the outdoor sessions, the indoor ones were loads of fun as well! Here are a few sessions from this week:
Sweet Ava
Little Ava came to be photographed for her 6 month session. Ava was one of my favorite sessions that I have ever had! This little piece of sunshine completely made my day...Her laugh will melt your heart in a split second! Thank you Duane for sending her to me!..And Brittney, your baby girl is absolutely amazing!
Kyra
Kyra, her mom and I headed down to Galveston this week to take her senior portraits! We had an incredible time! Kyra is such a fun loving, free spirited girl who I KNOW is going to do great things in her life. Kyra, thank you for asking me to photograph you! You are so sweet, and I am SO proud of you!
Baby Macie
It has been such a joy to see how the lives of those around me are always changing and growing! I went to high school with Macie's mommy (Brittney) and I was so excited when she asked me to photograph Macie as a newborn! Thank you Brittney for allowing me the honor to make these sweet memories for you! Macie is such a tiny little blessing! Congrats to you, Travis and Kody on your new little bundle of joy!

Just Catching up!
Hey Everyone! So sorry for taking so long to update the blog (Yes, I know there are no excuses!) 2010 has already been an awesome year! I took the month of February off to go on vacation and have a much needed break! During my time off, I backpacked Europe (Italy, Greece and Germany) with one of my best friends from college. She and I had an amazing time (here are 100 of my favorite pics!)
I love this time of year A.) because I LOVE spring, the weather in Texas is hands down the best!.. and B.) One thing spring always seems to bring is lots (and LOTS) of wonderful little babies! I have had a great time this month photographing beautiful Momma's to be, and then their new little slices of heaven!
Spring break is also a great reason to celebrate March! I love having a week full of Seniors (and I also celebrated my 24th birthday)!
Here is a few of the people that I have been privileged to know:
Cortney and Brett:
One word to describe this couple: ADORABLE. As a woman of many words, you know I can't just leave it at one word! Cortney and Brett are the sweetest couple! They were such good sports!!! (Ladies, just for the record..Brett even will carry her purse, WITH OUT her even asking...) I'm gonna go ahead and say it out loud, "HE'S A KEEPER!!!!" ;) Cortney and Brett- thank you so much for asking me to make these memories for you...I adore both of you!
The Brown's
If I had just one question to ask myself over and over...it would simply be, "How on earth are there people THIS NICE?!" The entire Brown family (Mom, dad, two sweet children, their dog, and even grandma!) are the NICEST people on the planet. I truly mean that too...and I'm just going to say, this family is GORGEOUS! Molly and Brendon make the CUTEST babies. Hands down...and the way those two sweet kids interact with each other..it's priceless!!! Molly- I can't wait to work with you guys in the future- you're amazing!
Baby Dylan
Sweet little Dylan is the newest pride and joy of one of me and my husbands friends! (You might remember their maternity portraits listed previously on the blog). Anyways, Little Dylan was born in January...and he had a much awaited arrival! His Momma, Becky, wanted to wait and find out (at birth) what they were having. So, all our friends took bets on what she would have! Dylan is the sweetest, and CUTEST little guy! He has light blue eyes and bright blonde hair..enough to melt a woman's heart from a mile away! Congrats Becky and Travis on your new bundle of fabulousness!!!
Adrienne and Joseph
I don't think I have enough time to tell you all of the wonderful things That I could say about this couple! Adrienne was referred to me by a fellow vendor (Thank you Tristan!). From the second I met her, I KNEW I would like her! She is so spunky, has a fun and outgoing personality and is SUPER stylish! Joseph, Adrienne's husband, is hilarious. I don't think I have ever laughed that much during a session. He kept giving Adrienne a "gun show" (showing his arm muscles)...oh, I crack up just thinking about it! These two love birds are going to make the most amazing parents to their sweet baby girl! Adrienne, thank you so much for your positivity and sweet and encouraging spirit, you hands down, are the most gorgeous momma, inside and out!
Katie
I first met Katie when I did her family's Christmas Portraits (see blog below!) She comes from such an amazing family! Katie is one of the sweetest seniors I have ever met! She had so much confidence (which I LOVE!). One thing I loved about her session, is you could tell that she came ready to have fun! She couldn't have wished for a better day, and I couldn't have wished for a better senior on that day! Katie, You are the sweetest! Thank you so much for asking me to make these memories of your senior year for you! You are SO gorgeous (and your curls are to die for!!)

The Christmas Season is Here!!!!
Yes, it is hard to believe that the Christmas Season is quickly approaching (Every year it seems to get here faster and faster)...I almost feel like I should leave my Christmas tree up all year! This has been an interesting year for our family and friends. In April, Mark (my husband) and I lost one of our best friends in a tragic accident, and after attending several other funerals around the same time, it became very heavy on my heart just how important having family portraits are. There are moments in our lives that we are so busy and we find the time flies by...and even though we think we will remember those small moments, we often do not. Having a quality family portrait is priceless because when tragedies occur, it is comforting to have a small reminder of that persons personality. There is no better time to have your family's portrait taken than now. Celebrate life, Celebrate the small moments and Celebrate the reason of this joyous season! Life goes fast... how will you remember it?
