Chad & Shawna, Arbor Hills Nature Preserve

It was a chilly 40 degress the morning I meet Chad & Shawna (and their fur babies), but they stuck it out and we were able to capture the cutest family picture with their cat and dog! :-)

Rader Family, Arbor Hills Nature Preserve

Such a fun evening last night meeting up with the Rader family to take some quick pictures at the Arbor Hills Nature Preserve. Even though Tristan had a busy day, he was still able to sit for a little and give me a couple of smiles :-)

And this little cutie was to die for!

The Rodriguez Family, Richardson

Last night I met the Rodriguez family for a family shoot at Prairie Creek Park in Richardson. Beautiful, sunny weather was forecasted, but it seemed the storm predicted for later that night was arriving a little earlier than it was supposed to. There was no sun and it was actually starting to mist, so I was a little worried about how the pictures were going to come out. Thankfully, I'm pleased with the outcome and I hope they are too!

The Marrs Family, Stone Creek Park

The Cole Family - Maternity

Last night I met up with a great friend, and co-worker, of mine for some maternity pictures. I can not wait for them to become a family of 4! There is no doubt that Bennett is one lucky little guy!

Joseph Peter Adamo, Newborn

No need to introduce the Adamo family as they are often featured on this blog, but there is a new member to the Adamo family that does need a formal introduction...

World, meet Joseph Peter Adamo...

Many congrats to Jonathan, Anna, and Big Sister Bridget!

The Adamo Family, Bluebonnets (Little Elm)

Yesterday I met the Adamo family for a quick family/maternity session on a bluebonnet field in Little Elm. The light and the weather were gorgeous, and this 2nd time mommy-to-be was absolutely glowing! Baby boy is such an amazing blessing to this deserving family and we can't wait to meet him in just a few short weeks!!!!

Joey - UNT College Graduation, Denton, TX

I can't believe I actually took my little brother's college graduation pictures. It seems like only yesterday that Keith & I (and 3 month old Dylan) were helping him move into his first college dorm room, and here we are today. I never had a close relationship with my brother growing up, so having him close by the past 4 years has been something I will always treasure. I know he didn't choose to go to UNT to be close to me, but I have loved every minute of it.

He will be graduating in May with his Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and we are all beyond proud of him and his efforts. He is going to be a great coach to some pretty lucky kids. He really has grown up to be an amazing man... Okay, let's get to the pictures before I completely break down!

Congratulations, Joey!

Blog Circle 2014 - February: Love

Let's see what's going on with Lisa!

Blog Circle 2014 - January: My Life

So in addition to starting a Project 52 this year, I have also decided to try participating in a Blog Circle. I'm still trying to figure out how this works, but I'm excited to have another opportunity to take pictures (for me) and showcase them. This month's theme was "My Life"...

My life...work, my family, and photography... :-)

Let's see what's going on with Stephanie!

Alex, Gaylord Texan

I got to meet this little cutie this morning at the Gaylord Texan for some birthday invite pics...hard to believe he's turning another year older!

Happy (almost) Birthday, Alex!

James, 3-years old

James will be 3 years old on Sunday...time flies by so fast!!!

Merry Christmas, James!

The Hyde Family, Downtown Grapevine

I met the Hyde family this morning at Downtown Grapevine for some Christmas pictures. I can go on and on about how much we love this family and how lucky we are that our boys are (and hopefully always will be) best friends, but I'll just get to the pictures instead. :-)

And my personal favorite!

The Chick Family, Grapevine Botanical Gardens

This morning I met the Chick Family at the Grapevine Botanical Gardens (which is becoming one of my favorite photo locations, plus it's freakin' free!) for some family pics. This family has such an amazing story and I'm so glad I was able to catch up with Lauren for a bit. Thomas was such a trooper and one of the happiest kids I've ever met...he definitely gets his big heart and warm spirit from his mommy and daddy.

ClickinWalk 2013: Dallas

This past Saturday was ClickinWalk 2013 and with this being my 1st year participating, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I have to say, it was so much fun meeting up with some local "momtogs" and just walking the campus of SMU and snapping some shots of whatever sparked our interests. Dinner afterwards was full of photog/mommy talk and it was so great to hear others stories I could completely relate to ("You know, it's just so hard to edit sessions with a toddler climbing your lap trying to steal your laptop!"). Until next year...
