First bday twins!



 These girls reminded me so much of my twins when they turned one.  We started off the session with an adorable lemonade stand that their dad made - thanks, Dad!  It turned out so cute!  Then we attempted to have them smash their cakes, but they didn't know what to think of the giant cupcakes mom made, so we had to really encourage them to get messy!  We finished up the session with an old fashioned bath & they loved it!  I want to say a special thanks to their Grandad who came all the way from Australia.  He was a big help during our session!  This is just a sneak peek at some of my favorites - enjoy!

Baby love

This fun family of 2 boys finally added a girl this past week!  I have had the privilege of doing their photos a couple of other times through one of our annual fundraisers, and I felt so honored that they chose me to come photograph their sweet new addition.  She was precious, and wide awake for most of our session, but we were able to grab a smile while she snoozed a minute! This is just a sneak peek at some of my favorites from our session!




Have I mentioned I LOVE twins?!

I had to post a sneak peek for this fun family!  Mom came up with the vintage outfits, and we shot at a great area in Frisco.  Can you even stand the cuteness in these pictures?!  Many more to come, B family!








Sweet wedding

It was such a blessing getting to work with this sweet couple.  Their wedding was beautiful, and even though it was a hot day, they let me get some fun shots outside.  Congratulations, Andrea & John!  Thanks for letting me play a part in your special day!

Hyde Family

I had the privilege of getting to spend Memorial Day with this amazing family.   From picking berries for our homemade cobbler to shooting skeet - they know how to have fun.  Here are some of my favorites from our session on location at their home.  Thanks again for having us Hyde family!

Life is funny!

As most of you know, I spend a large portion of this time of the year doing fundraiser mini sessions for incredible organizations like MOPS from FUMC Richardson, Firewheel Moms, Incarnation Academy, and the North Dallas Mothers of Twins Club.  With most of these fundraisers, we pack as many families as we can into one day with very little break time.  It is fast, crazy, and honestly, I love it.  Now editing ALL those images later is another story!!  ; ) I love how these sessions keep me on my toes and we usually end up with some great images.

A couple of weeks ago I was doing one of these fundraisers, and while I was working with one family, I noticed another family in the park who were looking for their photographer - not me.  They were still there as I worked with another family, and another, and still their photographer had not shown.  I could tell the mom was getting frustrated, and you could tell she had spent a lot of time shopping for adorable outfits for her 3 beautiful kids.  Well, life it funny sometimes, and  unfortunately I had a few families who had to cancel.  At the risk of sounding like crazy people, Brittainy and I decided we need to see if we could help them out and do some photos for them.   I was so happy I ran into this sweet family, and I hope I have a client for life!

Precious Smith Family

I have the privilege of working with this precious family usually twice a year.  Mom always wants to get pictures of the kids in their Halloween costumes-which is always so fun!  The 2 youngest kiddos and their parents are all hearing impaired, which makes my job a little more challenging.  Instead of saying "smile" or "telling" them where I want them to move in a pose, I actually have to position them and sometime I jump up and down  to get the little one's attention.  Thankfully, not too many pictures are blurry!  I am so thankful that this family has chosen me to be their photographer.  They are definitely a blessing to work with! 

 If your child has special needs, vision, or hearing impairments, please don't hesitate to get their photo taken.  If you've struggled with this in the past, maybe you haven't found the right photographer yet, and I would love to have the opportunity to work with your family!
