We had so much fun at The Harrel Family’s Maternity session! Even at sunrise, this family was all smiles. Grace is so adorable and she already loves her little sister Madelyn so much and she was not afraid to let us know. Sweet Grace kept us laughing the entire time (kids really do say the darndest things)! [Read more…] about Harrell Family | Maternity and Family Portraits
We want to thank all of the wonderful dad’s who have let us photograph them with their babies (and I mean from newborn to giving away their daughters on their wedding day). I know it’s not your idea of fun for a stranger to pose you and try to make you smile but thank you. Your children (and grandchildren) will thank you later, I promise. We know how important these moments are and in a life full of chaos of packing lunches, picking up from daycare, bath times, the one more bedtime story plead, flights across the country and endless roadtrips – We thank you for smiling and willingly participating and letting us capture these moments for you! Happy Father’s Day to all dad’s and grandfather’s. Our thoughts today are especially with the Reiter family who lost their father and grandfather recently due to brain cancer. We know he is with you in spirit today and we are thankful to have been able to call him a friend.
We have compiled a few of our photos with dads, and hope you love it as much as we do! Watch ’til the end for an adorable message- and don’t forget to share and sign up for our upcoming newsletter on our website!!
“What can you say to someone who has always been one of the most essential parts of your world, someone who took you by the hand when you were little, and helped to show the way? What do you say to someone who stood by to help you grow, providing love, strength and support, so you could become the person you are today? What can you say to let him know that he’s the best there is, and that you hope you’ve inherited some of his wisdom and his strength? Maybe you just say – I Love You Dad – and hope he understands” ~ unknown
I struggled with the right words to say today. When you lose a loved one, I fear I never have the right words to say. I lost my uncle (more like my brother) 2 years ago and there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t think of him and how much I miss him. I never talk about it because I fear if I do I might just breakdown. I do find comfort in the photos I see of him. When someone posts a memory on Facebook or when I come across my own old photos, I feel a sense of comfort. He smiled in every single picture – even when he was trying to act like a tough guy- I still see that little half smile he couldn’t hide. We lost a dear friend this past weekend. Sam and I met had the pleasure of meeting Al through his daughter Katie, who we have done family sessions for in the past. Last October we were happy to do an extended family session for Katie. Included in this session were Katie and her daughter, her parents and Katie’s brothers family as well.

“A girl should be two things; Who and what she wants.” -Coco Chanel. This is what came to mind when we met Janell. This beautiful young lady knew exactly what she wanted. She had a vision and we were so happy that we were able to help bring it to life.
Last year I had so much fun road tripping and scouting out locations for those perfect bluebonnet photos for our clients.I love seeing all those bluebonnet photos that have popped up on our Instagram and Facebook feed already. Last year I wrote a blog on the mistakes I had made in 2015, which you can find here. This year I hope I can add some more tips for you, especially since last year I made the biggest mistake, a mistake I hope no one else makes this year! Be sure to read all the way to the end where you will find possible locations to shoot bluebonnets safely. Also, keep checking back because I will be updating the blog below as I find new locations to shoot!
