Meet Jack.

I’ve known his family since he was just a little guy.

You all have seen them on the blog a million times…

His niece is my oldest son’s best friend.

His nephew is buddies with my youngest.

The whole party of seven came out for holiday pictures (and were easily best dressed)

His mom…well she’s one of the most special ladies I’ve ever known.

In just a few short weeks, Jack will be graduating from HS.

We all couldn’t be prouder.

Meet Kevin.

He’s the uncle of one of my favorite baby planners.

Brother of the bride from an awesome wedding I shot in October.

He’s a senior who loves graphic design.

Creates custom iPhone themes.

And will be attending the Culinary Institute of America this fall.

Basically, he’s awesome by MZP standards.

To say I am behind in blogging would be an understatement. There are some 10 sessions in que to be blogged…sorry! But I’m working to get the blog caught up, I promise.

Last night I got the chance to do something I don’t usually do. I had a senior session. And a senior boy at that. I’ve known his mom for years (I used to teach at the school she works at) and I actually had this handsome guy in class when he was a 5th grader and I was student teaching. I. am. old.

Dylan is fabulous. Funny, smart, and definitely knows what he likes – the color black ranks high on the like list. He’s got an awesome car that earned him a special picture in last year’s yearbook, a classic he worked to restore with his dad. It was such a fun session…thank you thank you!

Today was gorgeous – the weather was perfect and so was Miss Laura – Ennis Senior ’09… I so adore photographing seniors, and Laura was no exception, she’s an incredible classic beauty, with an insatiable personality! Thanks for an awesome session today and congrats on becoming a Baylor Bear this Fall, they are lucky to have you!

and because Laura kept coming up for the most fun faces, we decided to take advantage of her “gift”

I meet Lauren several month ago…she shot with her best friends in the spring as a senior rep. She was back tonight for her full senior session – and boy was she fabulous – a total rockstar!

I knew it was going to be an awesome session after the first shot – the yellow dress with the perfect light and a gorgeous model! We traipsed through Dallas and ended just in time for some shots in the golden hour – this homecoming queen rocked it!

Lauren, I hope you love your sneak peek! I’m so excited about photographing the *whole* family next week!
