The Melton Family: Christmas Session

Ms. Melton was Tori's 5th grade teacher a couple of years ago - and one of my first portfolio building clients. She has two amazingly adorable daughters - and we did a 'not so christmas' Christmas session over the weekend.

I hope you enjoy!

They loved the Santa Chair!

There was also a white carriage that we 'borrowed' for a few moments:

Loved how their outfits matched!

You want to know how you get a young 'un to smile? Tell them not to smile....then grin at them like an idiot... ;-)

My favorite... they are such a beautiful family!

This was after the session... mom and I were visiting while the girls were playing on the rocks... I got two amazing photos that I loved!

Mom saw this one... she was sitting so perfectly....and I called her name... and she looked at me.

Thank you so much for letting me spend time with you - I always love hanging out with the girls - they are hilarious!!

The Stewart Family

I had the absolute pleasure of meeting the Stewart Family this afternoon. Shannon was doing a search for photographers in the Katy area, stumbled upon my 4th of July fireworks, checked out my website, and contacted me about doing her family session.

We had quite a few laughs over the phone talking about kids and husbands and work... just life in general.

So - we headed out to one of my favorite locations - and spent some time together. She has two absolutely gorgeous daughters... Ms. A and Ms. T... they were hilarious and did I mention gorgeous???

I think Dad will probably be meeting any future boyfriends at the door... and having long discussions with them before they are allowed to leave the house... ;-)

I love this photo! Love it!

There's a park close by... and the girls had to have this upside down photo... we had to work on it a bit... but it ended up being one of my favorites!

Okay... it's the age old dispute... color... or B&W. I love this photo... it has to be one of my favorite family shots... I told them to get close... and this was what they did... and I just pushed the button. Love the leaning... and the expressions.

Thank you SO much for spending your time with me, and for giving me the honor of photographing your family. I really enjoyed it!

Brandon Senior Session: Part 2

We broke Brandon's session up so that we could get some pictures of one his favorite activities, which is going to the gym.

I think this is my favorite of the day:

We also had a bit of fun with the full moon outside...Brandon's mom and his friend spent quite a few minutes laughing at this:

And one more serious one (Brandon LIKES serious looks!)

I hope you enjoyed a peak into Brandon's Senior Session! If you need to book yours, contact me!

Brandon - Senior 2009

Brandon had the luxury of being my first senior session in 2009. That means that we tried out a few places.....considered jumping over a few fences (okay - HE considered jumping over the fences while I explained the legal implications of doing so!)....and realized that Houston is on the 'grafitti' removing wagon. But we managed to find some... I won't discuss the fact that it was under an overpass... or that Brandon's mom thinks I've truly lost my mind...all for the sake of a grafitti picture...

We started out at the school and got a few football shots (he LOVED playing football!)....

and then headed out to check out a few of the local Katy sites. We ended up down in Houston...

Even had a really nice lady who saw us taking pictures in this gorgeous sculpture ask Brandon if he'd like to take a picture on her bike.... Houston is interesting!

I hope you guys truly enjoyed your session! I had a ton of fun!

Tween Session

Teenage Angst... even though she's not 'quite' a teen yet. There is a look that only the young can give you.

Did I mention she's only eleven?? Her dad is making sure his guns are clean... I know he is. I think I'll help him.

Ms. T & Mr. S

I had the easiest photoshoot ever this morning. Ms T & Mr. S are the children from a former high school classmate of mine. We decided to meet at Terry Hershey Park to do a few shots of the kids. I hadn't met her kids yet - in fact - we haven't seen each since high school. Would you believe that she looked exactly the same?

Ms. T wants to be a singer... she definitely has the personality for it! Very friendly, and just super sweet!

Her little brother now....S just made my day. He reminds me of myself - even today. I want to know EVERYTHING. And he asks LOTS of questions.

Both of them were just wonderful to work with.

Here are just a couple of shots from today's session!

Look at this smile... does it get anymore sweet than this?



And Mr. S....



Thanks so much for hanging out with me today - I had a blast!
