Anyone who has had a photo session with me knows that I never say that– and highly encourage parents not to say it either (unless you like those horrible fake smiles that follow that word!)  :)   So…. I thought this shirt was too funny– and had to get it for my Ry-guy.   My twins take their pretend cameras EVERYWHERE… and take “pictures” of everything and everyone.  They often use my “tricks” to try to get me to look at their camera– which totally cracks me up.  These three pictures were taken while we were waiting for our lunch at a local hamburger joint…. lighting wasn’t great for the rocking chair shots, but I couldn’t resist.  He was taking a picture of me while I was taking a picture of him.  Might have to frame it!!

ENJOY:

And I couldn’t resist the light and fun of this one:

This little tot was about 10 days old when I first met him.   He is a sweet little angel.,,but a little camera shy the first time I went to their house, so we had a 2nd shoot two days later– and got all the pictures we could possibly need.  My favorites are with the polka-dot blanket– and his parents will likely remember that part of the session forever.  Mama had to do some helping out!  :)   I’m debuting my 2nd special baby teacup— boys like tea too, right?  :)

ENJOY:

Love it in B&W too:

I just love a family with two girls– makes me remember my childhood– and all the drama you get with two girls!    How cute are they?  We had the most beautiful morning to take these pictures– gotta love spring in Dallas– even though it lasts about as long as one deep breath.  I know their Mama is dying to see these (they are a Father’s Day Present for her husband), so here are a few of my favorites!

Enjoy:

You know you are getting old when….. I told a few of my friends that I had a “Senior Session” scheduled for this week and they thought “senior citizen” instead of “high school senior”!  But no… she was a beautiful High School Senior— with amazing eyes, awesome clothes– a cool mom– and she’s off to a wonderful school in the fall (Emory– although, if I had gotten to her first I think she would have chosen Vanderbilt! )

She has to pick one picture for the “freshman book” by next week–  which I told her was very important for future blind-date setups and sorority rushing!  Ha ha…. Oh, to be in college again.

Anyway… ENJOY:

And we took a few with her mom:

and then her mom MADE  her (literally) put on her cap and gown…. they were laughing so hard I didn’t think we’d be able to take any pictures… but we got some cute ones (and also some pretty funny ones– like this):

And he was perfect.  He did not want to miss any of the action, so it took a long time to get him to sleep– but we prevailed.  His Mama was the fascinating one– she looked like a million bucks.  Already lost ALL of the baby weight, plus some– how insane is that?  I thought only celebrities did that!  :)  Congrats to the beautiful new family!  You’ll be seeing the little man again with my “Grow with Me” Package…  next time we’ll get the dogs in some!  :)

ENJOY:
