Two of my first baby planners have recently turned two…and yesterday I got to meet with both of them to capture this fun time!

Gavin and I explored the Botanical Gardens.  He loved the squirrels more than anything, with the water fountains a close runner up!   And he was in such a sweet mood and totally indulged me!  I can’t believe how much he’s grown in the last year, and how much he looks like his daddy now! 

Then I headed over to the Stockyards to see Addi and her mommy!  She is spunky as ever, and loved being able to run barefoot through the Stockyard Station!  We made a special trip to the candy store to grab a lollipop, and Addi scored two!  We were celebrating some very special news…somebody is going to be a big sister!!

and the shot I know her Daddy (who is away serving our country) will love…

I had the amazing pleasure of traveling this week to Illinois to photograph a sweet 9 day old, baby lala.  Mom is a great photographer and I was so excited to travel to meet her sweet little girls…seriously gorgeous!  The weather was amazing – 83 for a high in July is almost coat weather for this Texan!  I got to spend 10 hours today capturing sweet baby lala and her family…here’s a quick sneak peek…more to come once I get back home to Texas tomorrow.

If you’ve been a blog follower for a while, you know these girls…I started photographing them at 6 months, then last year when they turned one, and today we celebrated 2 years!  I can’t believe they are 2…amazing!  Their mom and I have known each other for 15+ years…that totally just made me feel really old…and I feel so fortunate that she entrusts me to capture these milestones for them.

We headed out to Frisco Heritage Museum this morning for their session – it is adorable out there!  Hope you love what you see mom, and I hope your ankle isn’t bothering you too bad!

grace – the ringleader…and diva

ava – the thinker…and daddy’s girl

ring around the rosie…there is something so special about having a twin sister…magical

I was supposed to meet J&L 10 days ago for a sunset session….but we had some crazy, tornado-warning kind of storms roll through that night.  Needless to say, we rescheduled.  This morning there was a breeze, some pretty fantastic cloud cover, and two of cutest kids I’ve ever seen – who lucky for me, were in great moods!  Mom challenged me with getting smiles from the two of them…I fully expected to have to work at it, but I was hard pressed to find a shot without a smile as I went through the files!

This session’s images will soon be gracing mom’s exam rooms at Women’s Integrated Healthcare.  My family has a special place in our hearts for this mom…she delivered my son two and half years ago – and you all know how much I adore my son, lol!  I think we got some really fun stuff today, capturing 6 years and 2 years and lots of smiles…
