{Gaylord Texan spots still available} Grapevine

I have been so busy, I haven't had a chance to get the actual ad up for November's Mini Sessions. So here it is! I still have a few spots left. Not many, but a few. I would love to see you there!

{Beautiful girls and a piano} Murphey- Plano- Wylie Children's Photographer

I had the joy of capturing these two girls and their grandma's piano. Can you think of a better Christmas present? Not only were they totally willing and cooperative, they looked just gorgeous. It didn't take very long, but we had a great time. Once we were done with the piano, we headed out to their new pool and did a few there. I had a hard time deciding on my favorites!







Loved this totally spur of the moment capture. Their eyes are amazing!



Some beautiful backlighting by the pool...

{Everyone} Dallas- Irving- Highland Park Family Photographer

I adore this family. I was there for the birth of their youngest son and we have been intending to get together again for family pictures and finally had a chance. They have just stunning children and are such a kind family. The love is very evident. This time we had Grandma and Grandpa, and uncle and a cousin join in the fun! Enjoy guys and I am so glad we could work it out with such tight schedules!



This one was so funny. I was talking to this little man and I said, "Was I the first ever to take your picture?" and he stuck his neck out and gave me the BIGGEST smile ever. Talk about melting my heart!



Little miss who decided she would not smile for a picture. I had to hang off the cliff to get this one!



Handsome brothers...



All the grandbabies...



Aren't her eyes gorgeous?



Everyone together...

{Three Handsome Boys} Plano- Allen- McKinney Family Photographer

I had the fun of doing a half session for this family's holiday cards. We had a great time. They boys were in great moods, despite keeping mom up all night. We were able to walk around the park, enjoying the lawn mowers, ducks, and playground. What session is better than that! Enjoy you guys and thanks for being patient!



Look at those eyes and smile!



Their brother was VERY funny ;)



The three boys together...

{a birth & a baby} Dallas- Plano- Frisco Birth and Newborn Photographer

This beautiful family has been waiting WAY too long for their sneak peaks. Good thing they love me! ;) So rather than drag this out, this is a double post. I attended their birth (back in OCTOBER!!!) and then followed up with their newborn session. I know the birth did not go the way they had hoped, but they were an amazing team and worked very hard to bring this gorgeous girl into this world. It was an honor to be there. Enjoy you guys and I am grateful to be a part of your lives!













Family and Friends seeing her for the first time...

And now for her newborn session....







It was such a cute crying face that I couldn't resist!



You should have seen what followed this shot! Let's just say, Dad had to hop in the shower ;)





Aren't they beautiful!

{Gaylord Texan} November Mini sessions

That is right! November's mini sessions have officially been announced! They will be on Saturday November 21, 2009 at the Gaylord Texan in Grapevine. It is absolutely beautiful there and the holiday decorations are stunning. This location is inside and has a ton of beautiful natural light, so no worries about bad weather or cold cheeks!

So here is the scoop...

Sessions begin at 10am. They will last about 20-30 minutes. They are for up to 5 people. If you have more than five people, please contact me before booking. You will receive 3 high resolution digital images emailed to you by December 5th so that you can send them out with Holiday cards. Each session is $90 plus sales tax. Payment is due now to hold your spot. I am doing a very limited number of sessions, so please understand that your session time is only secure once I receive your payment.

Lastly, there is no charge to get into the Gaylord. There is a parking fee, however, of $12. Come prepared to spend some time afterwards to look at the decorations and maybe even have lunch. Can't wait to see you all there! I love this time of year.

Happy Holidays!

{Gorgeous afternoon} Plano- Arlington- Grand Prairie Maternity Photographer

Amazingly, things work out the way they are supposed to. I was supposed to meet this couple on a weekday morning, but ended up having a client schedule an induction. So we quickly rescheduled for that afternoon. It worked out though, because the clouds and rain were rolling in as we were shooting! This mama has a fabulous and natural smile and I loved it! We even got dad to smile for us too. Hope you guys love them and thanks for a great session!

Loved this one with the blue sky and fall colors in the background...



Look at them! They are too cute...



Loving that beautiful smile and a beautiful belly...



See those clouds! They were up for anything, even hiking through feilds filled with scary bugs like butterflies ;)
