Noah ~ Newborn ~ 13 days new

I was so excited to meet sweet Noah. He was just perfect! Noah's mama had decided not to do newborn photos, and then something changed her mind and I'm so grateful she asked me to capture him at that stage. Newborns do not stay that size for long and change every day. Here are a few of my favorites from Noah's session.

Senior Rep ~ Taylor ~ 2013

I'm so excited to have a senior rep this year! I chose Taylor to represent my photography business and not only is she fun and outgoing but she truly is beautiful inside and out. Here are a few of my faves from her first session. Thanks Taylor, you ROCK!

Gabrielle Newborn Session ~ 8 Days New

I'm so proud to introduce my newest addition, my niece Chyanne Gabrielle. These photos were taken when she was just 8 days new.

My brother Gabriel passed the same day Gabbi was born. June 24th, 2012. It's true what they say, one life ends and another begins. This was bitter sweet for us since two life changing events ocurred on the same day. What an honor for my brother to have Gabrielle named after him. My brother Luis says she has many of Gabriel's characteristics and reminds him of our brother. I believe in God's divine plan, and although we miss our brother dearly, Gabbi was sent to us for a reason.

Maybe she will serve as a symbol of life. In a time of so much pain, when we all wanted to just quit and wished the world would stop to mourn with us, this symbol of life in the form of a baby showed us that life continues. No matter how much it hurts. No matter how unfair it is. WE are the living and in order to survive, we must do just that, LIVE. We go through the motions every day. Some days are better than others, but no matter what we have to wake up and live. And in doing that we celebrate the life of my brother.

Here are Gabbi's newborn photos. I will enjoy photographing her as long as I live. Tia loves you!

Micheletti Family 2012

I love watching families grow. These sweet cowboys turned 3 in June and we updated their family photos. I know, I'm late in posting this blog. Here are a few of my faves from the session with Case & Kolt and their parents.

Outdoor Boudoir session

I was so excited when this bride to be contacted me about doing a boudoir session for soon to be hubby. She is an outdoorsy person and was willing to do an outdoor session, which was perfect for me since I prefer natural light. Here are a few of my faves from her session. I cropped her face out for privacy.

Hernandez Kids

When my Facebook page hit 600 fans I asked fans to enter to win a free photo session. Lisa Hernandez was chosen by Random.org and I don't know of anyone more deserving. She's an awesome woman and friend and she is also one fantastic crocheter! She has made some really neat props for me and I can't wait to use them. Anyway, here are a few of my faves from her children's session. Look how adorable they are!

Bowen, Hartis, Holder Family 2012

Although I live in a small town and have lived here all of my life, I still meet new people here all the time. I was excited when Brandi contacted me about doing a session for her incoming family who would be visiting all the way from North Carolina. Traveling from NC to Texas calls for a special photo session in itself, but since a new member had been added to the family Brandi wanted to document this visit for her son. They were such a sweet and loving family and I have no doubt that lil Bow has stolen the hearts of all of his family members. Here are a few of my faves from their session, and I will say I believe Bow was actually the easiest one to photograph lol. Usually it's the babies photographers worry about but he was such an awesome subject this day! Thanks Brandi for the opportunity, I hope you enjoyed your visit.

Candid shots like these are always my favorite!
