  • “Remember the little things, for one day you may realize they were big”

    This is one of my favorite quotes because it sums up why I love photography. I remember when I brought my first child home from the hospital, I wanted to stop time. I cried everyday for 4 days mourning the day before because he was growing and changing so fast. On the fifth day, I stopped crying and made time stand still with my camera. I cherish every photograph of his tiny feet and roly-poly thighs because I know that I will blink and one day his not-so-tiny feet will be walking him to college! That is why I appreciate this art form so much. A photograph stops time long enough to see the little miracles in front of us everyday. A photograph takes a fraction of a second and makes it last forever so it can be savored and revisited. I strive to not just get a great shot of your children, but images that also reflect who they are in that moment in time. I love what I do and I hope it shows in every part of my work.

    There will never be a perfect time for family portraits. People are real, not perfect. We have bad hair days, we want to lose weight, and we are just so busy. Schedule a session anyway. You’ll be so glad you have these moments to treasure forever. Down the road, when your teenager is grabbing the car keys, you will pull out your album and marvel that how tiny his fingers were when he was a baby.

These are from a mini session from before Christmas. I just realized that I had never posted it when I ran into this family the other day. A friend of mine introduced me to Mrs. T and the three of us spent the day shopping among about a MILLION other women.  good times.   Check out these brown-eyed beauties.

What to Wear…Coordinated Family | Castle Hills, Lewisville, Texas Photographer

It is not easy getting the whole family to look coordinated for a family photo. I can help with that. The yellow in the example below could be substituted for any color, depending on the look you want. Notice the use of layers to add interest and personality. The other great thing about layers, is we can have some on for some shots and off for others. I could put a navy cardigan over the girl’s dress for some shots, or remove mom’s scarf in some, for example. Don’t stress. Make it *you*! We are going to have fun!

All the clothing in this example is from Gap, Old Navy, and Banana Republic.

Published! | Lewisville Family Photographer

Very exciting news! One of my images has been chosen to be part of a photography book called Laughter.

Here’s a picture of my image in the book and then the image itself.

These are my boys a couple years ago. I love it because it reminds me of Lenny in Of Mice and Men loving little animals so much he squishes ‘em! I got some good pictures that day of the boys smiling at the camera, but this one is by far my favorite from that day!
