Mini-Mini Sessions… {Frisco Child Photographer}

I had a great time with all these kids at my summer mini-session!  It was darn HOT (I’m talking 105 in the shade…) so they were all troopers!  I, on the other hand, looked like I jumped in a lake by the end!  Sorry to those who came later and had to witness that!  :)  I got some great shots of everyone… and even got the quads to all look at me and smile (AT THE SAME TIME!)….   It was fun to have some new clients join in on one of these crazy mini-sessions!!  I don’t think the moms knew what they were in for!  :)

ENJOY and the proofs will be ready for you all in a few weeks (after I catch up on summer sessions from my trip!)…. phew… better get busy!

One more thing:  There are only three spots left in the fall/holiday mini sessions… and right now, I am not going to add anymore!  So– anyone who has contacted me asking about them better book soon!

Happy Birthday, Lucy! {Frisco baby photographer}

I’m sure you all remember Lucy as a newborn… she is the one who slept the entire time and gave me a taste of what is possible in the world of newborns when they cooperate!  Well… Lucy just turned one!  I’ve had the pleasure of photographing her many times along this year-long journey and it’s been a ball!  She is adorable… and her mommy has been hoping for some photos with actual smiles for a long time… and I guess she just wanted to wait until she was one to make them even more special, because we got a lot of smiles!  (Thanks mostly to her daddy!… I can’t take the credit this time).

ENJOY:

Here she was as a beautiful newborn:

Delaney, Lauren & Olivia… {DFW family photographer in Michigan}

These three girls were SOOO easy… even little Livi.  She just followed her two older sisters’ lead.  It was adorable.  There was a storm coming, so we rushed to get these pictures in and then the storm went somewhere else, so we got to hang out more!  My kids LOVED these girls… they played games they have never played before and are still asking with they are coming back!

I’ve known their Mommy (and Daddy!) forever…. it’s so much fun photographing kids of parents I grew up with!  I need to come back to Michigan more often because I really love and miss all these friends!  OR… you could come visit us in Texas– and I’d probably take a few pictures for you!  :)

I hope you love this preview!  Great seeing you all!

PS… I will not be responding to emails until I return to Texas (August 8th)… so please call my cell phone if it is urgent!  I’ll update my blog if we have an internet connection!

Madison & Jack {Frisco Children Photographer}

I put one of the pictures from this session up last night… but here are a few more!  As many moms do, this mom worried that I didn’t get any good shots because they were a tad bit late, a litte bit frazzled and a tiny bit shy… I told her she had nothing to worry about… and I think I was right!  :)

ENJOY!

Finley, Palmer & Creed…. three sweet kids {Frisco Family Photographer}

I just can’t even stand how cute these kids are.  And they were SO.AMAZINGLY.GOOD… the entire time (even in the 100 degree heat!).  Love this family so much… and I hope they love these images as much as I do!

Bye-Bye Bluebonnets…

See you next year!  I am d.o.n.e.  :)  Well… besides the editing and possibly a few makeups from some rain and illnesses… but for the most part, I’m done!  I love them, but my allergies are driving me insane this year– and I’m needing a break from rolling around the flowers with so many cute kids!

Here are the last of them… I think…

Fun playdate session! {Dallas family photographer}

We had nine families sign up for this”playdate” session at the Arboretum.  They are all in a Mom-to-Mom group together and the kids ranged in age.  It was SO much fun!  Everyone got 10-15 minutes of picture taking– and the kids were happy and easy!  Here is one pic from each family… and I’ll have the rest ready in a few weeks!  Thanks to Shelly for setting it up for her group!  I hope everyone had a relaxing time enjoying the beautiful flowers!

ENJOY:
