The Bakers - {Family}

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you probably remember the post a few weeks ago when my family had an unexpected twist. The week following Christmas, my grandparents and aunt & uncle decided to come to Dallas for a quick visit. I was so happy to be able to spend a little bit of time with my extended family! For part of my grandparent's Christmas gift, my mom had arranged to have a photo session with all of the family. It was hard on us to know that we had someone missing, but I know we will truly treasure these photos for years to come! 

My Grandma & Papa are such kind hearted people. They adore their great grandbabies (as is quite obvious from the looks on their faces in the photos)! My Papa is constantly picking at my Grandma, but I know it is out of love and is how he shows affection. I love spending time with them, even if it isn't as often as we would all like! 

Meet more of my sweet family!

Aren't they so cute? Over 50 years of marriage! Such amazing people. :)

Benjamin - {18 months} - Sneak Peek!

Are you ready to have your heart melt? This little guy is SO cute! We met up on a very chilly day that was quite foggy and overcast. We were originally supposed to have a morning session, but had to change it to the afternoon due to rainy weather that morning. Benjamin pretended to be shy for the first few minutes (you can see some of the first photos he has this adorable bashful face). But then he quickly decided I was a-okay and he gave me some great expressions! It was so much fun chasing him around during the session! His mommy was so sweet and even played in the leaves with him at one point to get him interested. 

Here are just a few of my favorites!

Mark & Patricia - {Just Because} - Sneak Peek!

I met with this gorgeous couple last month. They had never had a professional photo session together before, so I was very excited that they decided to use me for their first one! You wouldn't be able to tell at all that they had never done this before. Mark & Patricia were total naturals in front of the camera! I am totally jealous of Patricia's gorgeous hair - if I even try to curl mine, it ends up looking like curly sue. It was so easy to see that Mark truly adores Patricia. Such a loving couple. :)

These are just a few of my favorites from their session!

The Tanners - {Family} - Sneak Peek!

I met up with this adorable family a few weekends ago for their family session. The location we chose happened to still have some beautiful fall color! All four of them looked fabulous. I love their coordinating outfits! Justin & Sally are wonderful to be around and their kids were a hoot! They definitely showed off their personalities during the session. It was so much fun being around all of them! During the session, Justin & Sally mentioned they had never had family photos done "like this" before. They went on to explain that all they ever had done was something of the Sears variety with the fake backgrounds, big umbrellas and bright flashes. I think my sessions are way more fun than that! When else do you get to run around outside & act silly? :) But in all seriousness, it makes me so happy that people choose me as their photographer! 

Now for the good stuff! Here are a few of my favorites from their session!

The McConnells - {Family} - Sneak Peek!

This family met up for their session just before sunset on a *very* windy day! They were such troopers and even had their sweet pup with them. These two brothers were such sweet kids and not camera shy at all! I loved meeting this family and really enjoyed our session - even if we did nearly blow away ;)

Here are just a few of my favorites!

Baby J - {Newborn} - Sneak Peek!

Are you ready for a sweet, adorable baby boy??  Baby J slept throughout the entire session and no matter how much we tickled his little feet - he didn't want to wake up. hah! He was one of the easiest babies I have ever had a newborn session with! Baby J's mommy was my boss at my previous job & I was thrilled when she asked me to do his newborn portraits. When I saw her holding him when I walked in, I could already see the new mommy glow. I have never seen her look *so* happy! I know that he is very loved by everyone around him!

Here are just a few from his session!

The Bowers - {Family} - Sneak Peek!

I met up with this sweet family right before sunset a few weekends ago. It's so amazing for me to see just how much these sweet kids have changed in the past year! It was before I was blogging, but we did a session with Baby K when he was a newborn. He's def not a tiny baby anymore! Little V has a big personality and always keeps me laughing. It was so fun chasing the kids around and getting to spend time with their mommy and daddy!

Here are just a few of my favorites!
