Lifestyle Photography | Castle Hills, Texas

Getting ready in the morning with a little girl is quite different than trying to get ready with 2 little boys. The Infamous Jiffy Cornbread Mix Incident of 2010 has made me scared to leave anyone out of sight while taking shower. The boys are a little older, but I still rarely attempt a shower while they are in the house and conscious unless Cody is home. These days I take my shower while the boys are at school. Annabelle hangs out in the bathroom, brushes her teeth, tries on my shoes, gets into the little box of old jewelry I have for her in the cabinet. She stands on a chair next to me and digs in my makeup bag as I put on my makeup. I loved the moment we were having putting on lipstick together so snapped a self-timer picture yesterday to capture her sweetness.

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.

My mom’s Christmas card | Castle Hills Family Photographer

A quick funny about Barrett: Before Christmas, Barrett said to me, “Oh man! I forgot to tell Santa something I wanted!” I asked what it was he forgot. He said (and I’m not kidding), “I forgot to tell Santa I want an Air Guitar!” Bwah ha ha ha!

My mom asked me to do her Christmas cards again this year (Thanks for always having faith in me, Mom).  She wanted to do something more playful and relaxed and she wanted everyone in pajamas.  So we just piled everyone on the bed and I shot, bribed, and shot some more.  Afterwards, my mom left convinced that we would have to try again another day (Umm…what about having faith in me?)  We did not do another shoot and I think her cards turned out awesome!  I might be a little jealous.

She got Christmas cards and I got some great pictures of my mom with my kids that we will all treasure.

I went to Houston last weekend to visit my good friend from high school and we ended up having an impromptu photo session. Good thing I had my camera!

Outdoor Family Photography | Plano Texas

This family is an outdoorsy, active, loving family. I wanted to capture all of that in their photos. I love the lighting and natural-ness (totally a word) of these shots. The candid style allows me to really capture the personalities and relationships.
