Welcome Haley Lynn!

Beautiful little Haley was born two weeks the the date of our photo session. She was the perfect little angel and like a good little newborn, she slept through the majority of our session after having her little tummy filled. I loved her nice thick little head of hair. I don’t think Katherine (mom) will have any trouble getting bows to stay in. Oh, and I have to mention, the little yellow “paper sack” hat in the second picture was made especially for her by a family friend. Congratulations Quang and Katherine on your new little blessing!

Christmas Rush!!!

Dear Blog readers,

Please don’t think I am slacking on the job. In order to try to keep up with my blog and keep up with the seasonal demand for pictures, I am posting fewer pics per sneak peek and keeping my journaling to a minimum. I hope to be back to my old long winded self come the new year!

Enjoy!

Karen

Welcome to Texas!

Jeff, Cindy, and their boys, Bradley and Cooper, relocated to Texas from Florida not too long ago. They wanted to send their friends back home a “Texas Style” Christmas card so we utilized The Gaylord Texan as our session location. This grand resort is modeled after our Texas city, San Antonio for the most part. Bradley, like most typical ‘tween age boys, didn’t really care to have his picture taken but he hung in there and we got some great photos!

Not Smarter than a 2 Year Old!

I never doubt that arboretums full of beautiful flowers, koi and bridges are much more interesting than me and my camera, especially to a 2 year old. So, I usually pretend that there might be a squirrel sneaking up on me, or a bird, or anything else I might think of that might get a toddler’s attention. Well, being Christmas time, I decided to see if I could get Alivia’s (big sister) attention by asking her if Santa was behind me…it didn’t work so well. She knew Santa was at The Gaylord because she had just visited him last night! Luckily, she still humored me for some pictures. Little brother, Britton, hasn’t seen me or my camera since the day he was born. It didn’t take him long to remember his old friend from his ‘younger days.’

3 Princesses Inc.

…I stole the title from the company Mom (Kimbra) says she works for…pretty accurate if you ask me! Saturday was a wonderful day for a photo shoot. We were able to shoot early thanks to clouds diffusing the sun. Since we were shooting early, we didn’t have much competition from other photographers  for prime picture spots at the beautiful riverwalk. I was looking forward to this session because the oldest princess, Caroline, is one of my son’s classmates. With the exception of one “booty buster” to little Charlotte’s rear end, it was a beautiful day with beautiful friends and a beautiful end result. Pictures of the girls together will end up on my website when I update it in the spring, I just didn’t want to take the chance of exposing this year’s Christmas card pics!!!

Terrific Twos!

Let it  be said, Aidan is officially the easiest 2 year old I think I have ever taken pictures of! This session was actually a family session (cute family pictures will eventually end up on my website but for now I am not posting them so they can make their debut on Christmas cards)! Thanks Aidan for taking it easy on me!!

Expecting More Than Turkey this Thanksgiving!

I wasn’t sure that this session was ever going to take place! Robin emailed me wanting to do maternity pictures with only 2 weeks to spare before her due date!!! I am glad I was able to get her scheduled because during her session, we realized that we have “met” quite a few times over the past decade…I think we will remember each other from now on…be watching for Robin’s and Mike’s little guy to be on my blog much sooner than later! )

Smiley Face

I enjoyed meeting Adrian and his family this past weekend thanks to another little client of mine who referred this family to me. Adrian is buddies with little Davis, another adorable 4 month old who appears earlier on my blog. Adrian was all smiles throughout his entire session with the exception of a 10 minute nap. After his nap, he was all smiles once again…such a happy little guy!

 

Little Lady in Red

The last time I saw little Katelynn and her family was in the spring bluebonnets. At that time, she was barely sitting up. Now, at ten months, she is contemplating putting one foot in front of the other…won’t be long now!!!  Katelynn has obviously found her nose and her mouth. Like most 10 month olds, we were constantly removing her little hand from in front of her face. In the third picture, you will see that since she wasn’t allowed to stick her hand in her mouth, she would just use Lucy’s (the dog’s) instead!!! I LOVE it !!!

Welcome Grace Katherine!

Beautiful little Grace came into this world with her  little motors revving (quite literally!) Mom and Dad are avid  motorcyclists and “Jeepers”…(I think I may have just made that word up). I have no doubt by the time she is old enough to drive she will be teaching the boys a thing or two. The 2nd picture shows her posed on a Jeep her mom and dad tore down and built back to their likings (that is Dad’s yellow logo to the left!) I have no doubt this little girl has a wonderful adventure packed life ahead of her! Congrats Mike and Lenda on your new little Green machine!
