I met this family almost one year ago.  The girls had just come home the NICU and were ready for their close-up.  They were 14 weeks old and sweet as can be.  They were also my first set of newborn triplets to photograph…talk about a workout!

During a recent session with my triplet babyplanners (seen here), I learned that one of the girls from that session almost year ago was sick.  Very sick.  I emailed their mom, asking if I could come a document the time they have left as a family of 5.  There really isn’t any way of knowing how long Piper, their biggest at birth, has left on this Earth and I couldn’t imagine what this family is feeling right now.  All I know, is that creating memories through the lens is my purpose in life, and that every family deserves to have their moments captured.

So yesterday I headed out  to Dallas to see the girls – now a little over a year old.  I couldn’t believe how big they had gotten!  Andi and Bella are everywhere – crawling, crusing, laughing, and showing off their two bottom teeth.  Piper is in a word…stunning.  She has the most perfect Angelina-Jolie-lips and eyelashes that go on forever. I couldn’t stop photographing all the details that make her, her.

If you are the praying type – like me – then please do me the favor of keeping Piper on your heart.  And pray for her family, that they might feel God’s hand and find the strength they need during this time.  I know I will be.

Mom and Dad, thank you so much for having me out yesterday.  For letting me spend the afternoon capturing your girls…your three gorgeous girls.

I love you…we love you too Piper…

I just wanted to share one from today’s lifestyle session, and to ask you to pray for this family. 

A full sneak peek and their story coming soon…

Today was one of those kind of sessions…the ones I feel in my soul, the ones that will linger with me as long as I live.  I’ve known this family “forever,” almost as long as I can remember – and the sweet little red headed 3-year-old is my son’s best friend.

Kim, or Mawmaw as she’s better known is an amazing woman.  A lady with more strength and FAITH than anyone I have ever met.  And she is fighting an incredible battle.  Tomorrow, on her birthday, she’ll have surgery…and she needs all of us to be praying for her, for the doctors, and for her kids.

I know many of you read this blog…so I’m hoping this call to pray will add many more to her prayer chain.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

It’s almost that time of year – the weather will be getting warmer and everything will start to bloom!  You don’t want to miss the gorgeous spring color, do you?

I’m thrilled to announce this year’s spring mini session event at the Dallas Arboretum!  Session have already begun filling but some prime sessions still exists.  I hope to see many of you out for these limited edition mini sessions with MZP!

I have a slew of babyplanners hitting the 3-4 month mark – and I am so excited to get to see them all again!  Little Miss A wasn’t too sure about my camera, but managed to give us an adorable set of images anyway!!
