This morning I photographed the last session of the year for babyplanner, Miss R…she’s walking, and talking, and as adorable as ever! It was a gorgeous morning, and the sun was great…thanks to mom and dad for coming out so early! And check out how well dressed she is – I adore that hat!

You can check out R’s journey here…maternity -> newborn -> four months -> eight months

Liam’s family met me downtown yeterday for a session marking his 8 month…I love baby planners at this age! He’s moving all around and has this fun new smile that had me laughing the whole session. Thanks to mom and dad for trekking around in the heat…we got some great shots!

Blog readers…they are back! I seriously love this brother sister pair…really, could they be any cuter? Mister B was all giggles this morning as I shot the second half of their 4 month baby plan session (though they are nearly 6 months), but little miss S totally held out on me! One smile – I wanted one huge gummy smile…I got some adorable half smiles, and some awesome straight-faced gems with those big eyes…but not one gummy smile for her moms! Already a little diva…and I LOVE it! Little sneak peek for moms, because I know they’ll be checking!

The face…they’ve each got one for “I’m so done with you crazy camera lady”

I was supposed to meet sweet Olivia last Tuesday but the rain washed us out…today looked like it might to the same, but it turned out to be perfect just 30 minutes before her session was to start. We met in downtown Grapevine…full of all kinds of nooks and cranies that I love! Olivia could not have been happier – seriously, I don’t have one picture of her looking at me that doesn’t include a smile…and those three little teeth just melted my heart!

I love this kid! I was lucky enough to get the chance to photograph him twice last year…and I was so excited when mom called to get his three year pictures done! He has grown up a ton, he doesn’t look like a baby at all anymore…he is definitely a boy now! And this fall he’ll become a big brother – I can’t wait to meet the newest family member!

Um, somebody got some freckles…

I am so excited to blog about this family…not just because the kids are to die for gorgeous, but because this family is part of a larger family that is very special to me! About a year ago I photographed their cousin’s one year session, then in May I photographed their aunt’s wedding, and in a few short weeks I’ll photograph said one year old’s new baby brother! I love them all! So when Kelly contacted me about her youngest, Sophie, turning one I was so excited! We of course took a couple of family shots, and I was even able to bribe Sophie’s 6-year-old twin brother and sister for a couple…and we got some great stuff of the birthday girl too…

and the birthday girl…
