This session was purchased as a gift certificate back at Christmas time… and we had to reschedule a few times because of weather or t-ball games… but we finally got together this weekend and got some amazing shots!  They were SO good– that I didn’t have to even bribe them with the lollipop— and I almost forgot about them until we were walking back to the car!  They were quite happy I remembered– and I hope I didn’t ruin their lunch!  

Enjoy!:

And WOW is she cute!!  (You’ll remember her beautiful Mama from maternity pictures– and my favorite one of her in the bluebonnets just about to pop!)  Madi was SIX days old in these pictures– and a true angel.  We moved her around about every two minutes, but she would just whimper a little bit and go back to sleep.  She’ll appreciate the pictures someday!  :)  And… for anyone who might be getting a birth announcement from Madi’s parents– don’t worry, I am not showing the pictures they are using.  Although, her Mommy did have a hard time deciding!  :)

Congrats to Kathryn & Brad.  You made a beautiful baby!

BUT… I’ll do it for people I love!  :)  So… my husband’s brother got married in Vegas over the weekend and I was their more “creative” photographer.  They got married in a chapel– so there was a “wedding” photographer there for 30 minutes for the service and then for large group shots afterwards.  I was relieved I didn’t have to try to figure out my flash for those!  :)  I took pictures of the beautiful bride (now my sister-in-law!) as she was getting ready, then right before the wedding, then the happy bride and groom as we made our way from the ceremony to the reception– we got to walk down the strip for about a 1/2 mile snapping pictures anywhere I felt the need!  VERY fun!!  Then I turned my camera onto automatic (yes– even fancy cameras have that!) for the reception pictures… hoping anyone would take pictures with it if they saw the opportunity.  I learned quickly that nobody wanted to touch my “third baby”… so I took them all!  :)  We had the best time the whole weekend.  Congrats to David and Beth… and here is YOUR sneak preview!  :)  I hope this will bring a smile to your faces (and Mama Dee’s too!)

ENJOY:

And… ONLY in Vegas…. walking down the strip– will a girl with a guitar filled with alcohol stop to take a picture with the bride and groom!!  We were a tad worried she might get sick on Beth’s beautiful white dress!

First, little Miss C was sick on the day of our Arboretum session… then my Ryan had to stay home sick from “school” when we reschedule our makeup… so FINALLY we got together last week for this session.  It was a perfect day for it– and we went to a cool spot.  I’ve photographed these two before– and each time I see them they are more and more adorable!!  I hope you love the preview!  I love the shot of the four of them walking.  Can you tell who is in charge there?  Just like my daughter– so it made me laugh!

ENJOY:

But they are still as CUTE as ever!!!  We barely needed the lollipops at the end (although, they did enjoy them).  They were just so good.
