Little Jake has always been a dynamo. Like brother, like sister is what I learned when sweet baby Emma came to see me for her newbie session. Big Brother was most accommodating during the family shots. The sibling shots. The Jake shots. And even posed for a few with his beloved grandmother. And when it was time for the two of them to go home for nap time (or play time, let’s be honest), Emma and her very sleepy (but oh so sweet) parents hung out with me while we clicked and laughed and snuggled and tried to keep the sweet baby girl warm. Such a sweet baby girl, even when fighting off hiccups that wouldn’t go away. I’ve heard of the Prego Glow, but Bev was totally rocking the Post Partum Glow. She looked fabulous, and one day she will teach me how she perfects that liquid eyeliner look. Love this family. So very happy for their fabulous little addition, and I wish them nothing but sleep filled nights ahead. Mazel tov, guys, and enjoy the sneak!

I was the lucky one to shoot their wedding. And a few other family sessions over the last few years. So when it came time to take prego pics of Megan & Co., I was honored to be asked back. As usual, the family was fun, laid back and super funny. When Eric and Rob weren’t ginormous step racing across the grass, we were all laughing at the adorableness of Rob. Who will obviously make a very, very sweet big brother to his future baby sister (look at the way he snuggles up to Megan’s belly during the family shots!). Megan, who is always ultra laid back, is even more so as a Mommy-to-Be. I’m so happy for this family, and I can’t wait to meet The Girl. Guys, thanks for another great session, and enjoy your sneak!

Lovely Eleanor. She’s been coming to see me since she was a little over 6 months old. She’s two now, and I adore her. Everything about her. Especially her name. So when Katherine was calling her Ellie, I, of course, fell in love with that. And when Katherine told me that the two year old Eleanor asked to be called Ellie, I was a goner. Precocious, beautiful, oh so stylish, and just an all around sweetheart, Ellie is definitely a muse. We picked flowers, threw petals, changed outfits and snuggled with Danno (Katherine’s hilarious dad and Ellie’s biggest fan). It’s always a special session when I get to see this family, and this one was no different. Katherine, thanks for a wonderful hour, for sharing her with me, and enjoy the sneak!

This was my first time to work with Lori & Co. And I am being completely honest when I say I hope it was the first of many, many, many, many sessions to come. Such a sweet family, and one the camera clearly loves. The children were so polite, so curious and so sweet to each other! And each one had such a distinct personality. It was fun getting to know each of them as individuals, as well as a trio. Lori and Adam clearly have the Parenting Thing down, and nothing seemed to faze the couple. Not even “prom posing” under the crepe myrtles. While we walked around the grounds looking for places to shoot, Guy (the lone brother in the bunch) walked next to me and taught me all about the art of karate. And fake falling. And what it takes to win. And so on. He had me laughing most of the shoot, and the rest of them had me melting. You never would have guessed that this was their very first time to take professional photos. I thank the lucky stars they chose me to do them. Lori, thanks for making this happen! It was so much fun, and I hope to see you all again. Soon. What are you doing tomorrow? … Enjoy your sneak!

If I told you they came in from California for pics, you’d believe me. Because they just have that CaliCool vibe. But Nicole and Stuart came in from Dallas, and they brought Brayden. And baby Mason. I’ve photographed this family since Brayden was a newbie, so it was so special to get to do it all over again with Baby Mason. Brayden, as expected, was On. And when we weren’t taking Mason photos or family photos, we snuck out back for Brayden photos. And when it was time for Mason photos, Brayden sat back and relaxed. And when family photos were done and Stuart went back to work, Nicole and her boys stayed back and relaxed. Nicole makes it all look so easy, but she’s so unbelievably sweet, it’s impossible to dislike her. Brayden is ever the Charmer, and little Mason will clearly be a quick study. I absolutely adore this family, through and through, and it was such an honor welcoming Mason in to the world! Nicole and Stuart, congrats, and enjoy the sneak!

Brooklyn, Brooklyn, Brooklynn. Even though she had a fever the day prior, and may not have been feeling her best the day of pics, not to mention the fact that we made the beautiful babe pose in bloomers in less than balmy temps, this blue eyed cherub rocked it. Which is par for the course with her. I’ve been photographing her since she was just a little bump in Krinna’s little tummy, and each session is always better than the last. With some adorable outfits (which she tolerated us changing, by the by), Brooklyn was a trooper. And at the end, when she was cold and tired, she snuggled up to me and put her little face in my neck. It took alot for me not to walk back to my car and take her home with me, but she had a lovely lunch to enjoy with Mom and Dad, so I fought the impulse. Krinna (Nicole Kidman who?), you were gorgeous. I had so much fun with you guys. Enjoy the sneak, and kisses to baby B!

He graduates in May. He plans to go to UT. He plays LaCrosse. And the guitar. And when he grows up, he wants to be a brain surgeon. Throw in that he’s cuter than Zac Efron and super sweet, and I’d say Hunter is going to do pretty well in life. This handsome young man met me for Senior Pics a few weeks ago, bringing along his mom, dad, sis and grandparents. Young Maddie (14 and beyond adorbs) is clearly smitten with her big brother, and the whole family had a “you should be on a sitcom” vibe to them. We laughed, we laughed some more, and I am counting down the years until Miss Maddie comes to me for Senior Pics. Until then, I wish Hunter the best of luck. Thanks for coming out to see me, Hook ‘Em Horns, and enjoy your sneak!

What was supposed to be a family session ended up being a Mommy & Me session at the last minute. Which, actually, was perfect. Laura and Eva are no strangers to my camera, and we always have so much fun. All the way in from Houston, they made a special point to see me, which humbles me more than you can imagine, dear reader. When Eva first started posing for me, she was just a shy little 2ish year old? Over the years, we’ve grown quite fond of each other. When I caught a Rolie Polie she had her eye on, I am pretty sure I became her Favorite. Person. Ever. (pretty sure I became Laura’s Least Favorite, but I’ll do anything for my littlest subjects). She named the Polie Bob, and it took a lot of bribing to convince her it wasn’t going to go home to Houston with her. Girls, thank you for an incredible hour. I had so much fun, it means so much to me that you go out of your way to see me, and I hope you love the sneak as much as I love you. Enjoy the sneak, and Bob sends his love.

It had been a few years (four in fact) since I last spied the beautiful Cathie and her fabulous family. I couldn’t believe how much the girls had grown, but was so pleased to see they were just as sweet as ever. Celia has grown in to quite the lovely young lady. She was 7 when I last saw her. Now she’s 10, and straightened her hair for the pictures. And, for those keeping track at home, it took “like 20 minutes”. And little Miss Sass? Sassier than ever. And with those blue eyes and butter blonde hair, she looks like a princess straight out of a f fairy tale. She was one the first time we met, and I couldn’t get over how grown up she is now! Both girls were absolute angels, and I had so much fun with them. Cathie, thank you for coming back to see me. Such an honor, so much fun, and enjoy the sneak!

Sometimes I get sad when my clients, who came to me as newbies, come to me as … children. I am amazed at how quickly time passes, but I am so grateful that mommies and daddies allow me the honor of stopping it, if only for a second. Sophie has always been a treat. As a 6 week old newborn, she was so calm. Every session with her since then (and there have been several), has been the same. And she always stares at me with the most soulful gazes. This most recent session, we really clicked. And she called me Miss Jenn. And delighted in the pretend phone I brought along, and the tea party we made for her and her parents. Even if she’s not smiling, with that crazy, curly red hair and those deep blue eyes, she’s a photographer’s dream. But when she does share a belly laugh, well … see for yourself. Paul and Lauren, thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing her with me. Enjoy the sneak, and I’m counting down the seconds until the next session!
