I had the pleasure of meeting with Austin and his parents last night. Austin plays baseball with my youngest brother, and soon he’ll be a big brother himself!! He’s really excited to meet his sister…almost as excited as mom and dad I am sure. They are working like crazy to get A’s room done before her arrival…could be any day now! I can’t wait to get my hands on that sweet little one and her amazing pink nursery…see you all soon!

Most days it feels like I just gave birth yesterday…everything is still so new. New baby smell fresh out of the bath, figuring routines, sweet baby snuggles and great big boy hugs. It is busy and slow all at the same time. Then today I woke up and realized that my sweet littlest man in now 7 weeks old. SEVEN WEEKS! How is maternity leave flying by so fast, and how can I make it slow down? Seriously, if you have the answer, please email me. Please!

I’ve enjoyed seeing my clients for sessions here and there…and I’ve still got four more sessions during my leave…but I’m loving each minute of being at home with my boys. Trips to the museum, swimming lessons, pool time, gymnastics, arts & crafts…doing the total stay at home mom thing and having so much fun!

Well, kind of. I have 7 adorable baby planners who are reaching milestones while I am on maternity leave (through 9/1), and well, milestones can’t wait! So last night I headed out to Grapevine to meet Sophia and her family…she’s sitting now and getting so big! Her head of hair is even better than at birth, if that is even possible! Thanks for braving the mosquitoes and humidity!

I can not believe I am writing this post…how is it that my babyplan triplets are already 9 months old?!?! They were amazing this morning for their shoot – almost two hours of shooting, three outfits changes, and lots of funny noises and peek-a-boo to keep their attention.

Dad, I know you’ve been waiting to see some of these…your key dangling paid off!

I was so excited when the mom of these adorable brothers called for a fall session…I’ve been photographing them since the littlest guy was about 10 months old, and now at two he is cuter than ever!! Big brother was quite the charmer today, flashing smiles and playing games…he loved climbing all over the trains! These little ones are special here at MZP…the kindest kids and the best mom! Thanks for spending the morning with me…I hope Kountry Donuts was yummy!

Another sweet baby planner has turned one!! I can’t believe how much he has changed since I saw him for his 6 month session…such a little man, totally on the go, bright blue eyes, and this incredible smile! Love! He and his big sister totally had me running and working today…I love those type of sessions…the ones where mom and dad ask at the end, “I sure hope you got something.” And then I get to write sneak peeks like this…and say, “You better believe it…”

Happy birthday Mister R!!

big sister, Miss M

he fell down while running…it was one of the few seconds he stopped, and I got this…ADORE!

I got a call a while ago from an aunt who wanted surprise her sister and brother in law with pictures of their daughter (her niece) for the holidays. I thought it was so sweet, and of course, agreed to do the session. We had our session this morning, and little Miss K could not have been cuter…seriously, can you believe those blue eyes?!?!

If you know this little one or her parents…SHHH…we don’t want them to know before Christmas! Thanks Aunt A and Grandma (special thanks to Grandpa, too…I hear he had a rough night!)!!

My holiday mini sessions are going in full force (yes, I know it is September!!). Today I got to meet up with some favorites from last year…they’ve gotten so big and even cuter, if that is possible!! The kids had a great time playing on the old trains, and the light was so pretty! Thank goodness the sun returned!

There are still two holiday session spots and two newborn session spots left, but other than that MZP is completely booked for the remainder of the year. If you are interested in booking your family for this fall let me know!

My best friend’s daughter is turning one next week…surely you remember this sweet little one?

We needed a few shots to display at her party – snagged a few to share with you all! Her full one year session is coming up soon, I can’t wait!

This morning I had the chance to meet the cutest 6 month old boy, who came all the way from Houston to see his extended family! Mom contacted me a while back about doing a family session for them while they were in town, because some of their other family had recently had pictures done with me…how could I possibly turn down those big brown eyes and sweet ringlets?!?!

I also got some great help today from this little man’s grandparents…thank you! Grandpa is a photographer – and it was awesome to talk shop with him! Thanks for doing all the crazy faces and dances behind me…it meant I didn’t have to!

Enjoy your party this weekend…I am sure the family is going to be head over heels for sweet L!
