So I was in my hometown this weekend and just had to get pics of my FAVORITE children… aka my nephews and niece!!! We had some great quality time trying to capture each of thier unique spirits :)  Just a glimpse….

I had the pleasure of meeting this sweet little cutie last year for her first birthday pictures.  I can’t believe it has already been another year and how much she has changed!!   She was all smiles just like the first time we meet and so natural for the camera.  And of course her awesome mom let her play in the fountain again, which no doubt brought an even bigger smile to both Kate and me as well :)  So a little sneak peek at our morning in the gardens….

and a few that never made it to the blog….

I think these are by far my fav pics this summer …. I just love the emotion and feeling of these :)

Since I am behind on blogging, I decided to go back to the end of 2008 and post some session that never got blogged due to Christmas chaos.  I met up in Abilene ( at my Alma Mater in fact) to have a quick session with this handsome young man. Oh my gosh, he was SO well behaved and had the cutest smirks and KILLER eyes.  We had a blast despite the chilly winds. I favor black and white photos about 80% of the time, but these just screamed color to me…

Ok, I have to admit… after living in the Metroplex for almost 3 years…. I have never been to the Dallas Arboretum!!  I know, shameful.  And today I got to see EVERYTHING that I have been missing out on.  So, I have to give a HUGE thank you to Laura and her handsome son for sharing this gorgeous location with me this morning. We had a blast exploring the grounds today, and now to share a glimpse of one of the sweetest little boys I’ve had the pleasure of meeting…

Thanks again for a beautiful morning at the gardens!!!

I had a blast out at the gardens with this cute family.  They were so laid back and such a pleasure to capture.  Not to mention their darling little girl had me smiling the whole time, such a cutie!!!  Thanks guys for such a great time, and here are a few sneak peeks from our morning…

if I do not blog my favorite kids more often.  I have been scolded by many for not posting the E’s more… so here ya go. These are from Ella’s Bday weekend.  I was playing with a warm black and white conversion.  I would love to here what you think: Warm or Traditional…

of Miss Kate!!  I had a blast getting to meet this little one for her birthday pictures, and watch out….   her cute little smile is contagious  :)
