Freckles...

With society so caught up with perfection, photoshopping every part of women in advertising, it's so refreshing to get to work with simple, natural freckles... I tend to have a fancy for people with freckles, so you know I was enjoying every minute of being able to capture natural beauty in my own backyard. Erin is a senior at Johnson HS... She's athletic, intelligent, outgoing, and fun to be around. After graduation she plans on attending A&M where she'll study Business, she wants to follow in her father's footsteps. The thing we liked about Erin was her natural beauty... not much makeup, beautiful green eyes, and long, glowing, brown locks of hair.... Kinda reminded me of a lion prancing across the savanah in Africa. She wanted several images that we've done before, so we worked hard to recreate them. We started in the hay barn, moved to the fields, then the swing, then we jumped on the trampoline in her cap and gown, we almost wore her out with that. We then used a treeline and the Texas Flag, and finally ended up inside. All in all, we got some fantabulous images that would make anyone proud. Hope Erin and mom like'em. More images on the site, and click here to watch a short video from the session.... Enjoy.

Sweat Pea Naomi....

Baby Naomi was born into this world last week. Her parents couldn't be happier or prouder. Naomi is gonna be a cold weather girl. Mom says she loves having the covers off and just enjoying the cool air. When we were taking her portraits, (we usually keep the studio really warm for the newborns) her dad would open the door and let her get some nice cool winter air. It seemed to do the trick. We got some images of mom, dad, and baby together, as well as a few of her by her self that are so darn adorable (see one below). Courtney and Josh, we hope you enjoy and treasure Naomi for a lifetime... She truly is a blessing....

Brittney...

is a senior at RHS. She came to us through a senior we've photographed from there earlier this year. Brittney is an intelligent and full of life young lady. She wants to attend ACU after graduation and possibly major in Broadcast Journalism or Aerospace Engineering (bright girl, huh?). Brittney brought her sister (aka- Spawn Girl) with her to the session. We had Danielle hold reflectors and make Brit laugh. We shared corny jokes (Star Trek was her favorite) and laughed while we captured Brittney's cute little personality. When she told me that she wanted to wear her glasses in all the images, I was a little hesitant (outside images = mega glass glare), but fortunately she had non-reflective lenses. I think the images turned out fantabulous and can only hope Britt and family feel the same way. We had a blast photographing you, especially all of your crazily funny song and dances. More images on the site, and click here to watch a short video from the session. Enjoy....

Ms. Eccentric...

Jackie is a senior at JM... She's a funny, out-going, and spontaneous, young lady. She wants to go to A&M and study marketing. When Jackie showed up, her hair looked phenomenal, curls stayed in place the entire session, even with winds at 15 mph and cold temps (in the 40s). Jackie brought her mom and friend, Holly. As the session went on the temps dropped. Even though we picked her dress to be the last outfit, and the goose bumps raised to a new level, Jackie was a trooper, she hung tough till the end. We had a good time, laughing and telling intellectual jokes... and trying to keep warm. We got some great images and we hope Jackie and her mom like 'em. More images on the site, and click here to watch a short video from the session... Enjoy...

Baby Maddie...

Madeline Jane came into the world 9 days ago and was welcomed by her mom, dad, and brother Noah. We had the privilege of taking her first official portraits... We have photographed the family numerous times now, click here to view previous sessions, so we know them well. Baby Maddie is a little, tiny, girl. She looks alot like her brother did when he was born. Mom wanted to do some of the images we did with Noah, so we had a plan from the start. She was perfect, nice and sleepy, cuddled up waiting for us to take her picture. After a feeding, we finished up with the family image. Congratulations Andrea, Matt, and Noah... to the newest addition to your family. A nice even number.... Enjoy the image, and we'll be contacting you soon.
