Lisa and Hayden

This munchkin might look a little familiar to you from a shoot I did about 2 months ago- Hayden had just turned a year old during that shoot and in no time at all she has already changed! I should know how fast kids grow up since my Daisy is about to be 2 years old in two weeks...God, where does the time go? She was just born! Wait...that was Amelia...ha!

Hayden came with an entourage of fun family members that were equally as friendly to my lens...her mom in particular! I love when a picture tells a story- When it seems to describe the way I feel about something, even when I'm not in the picture. The first picture below screams love to me, and makes me think of my growing little family and the way I feel about my little girls...protective, hopeful, and just plain proud.
















Lisa- I hope you see what I see when I look through my lens! You're a stunningly beautiful woman, and you're doing a fine job if I do say so myself! Thank you for letting me follow you around like the paparazzi all day at the park! I had a great time with your/our family!

*Tara, I hope you know how lucky you are, because he suuuuuuure looks in love to me!














Tara (and a little bit more of Justin)


















A little of bit of Grandma (Sue), Tara, and myself with my itty bitty camera...can you find us?? Ha! (click on the picture below, you'll see what I mean!)









I had a great time everyone, looking forward to the next time!

My Amelia

Oh my Amelia, how sweet you are! I can't believe you are 6 months old already, mama loves you to pieces BABYDOLL!

The Hinojosa family

Ok...this very well may be the biggest sneak peek ever, but hey, I can't dwindle the the list down to only a handfull that I love!

Last weekend I attended a pig roast for a friend of mine from work- she said she had some family coming in from out of town and would like me to take family portraits while they are here. What she didn't tell me was that the entire family is BEAUTIFUL! Just look at all of the sisters, would ya? Stunning!

I'm told that there are a lot more of them, but they all couldn't be in attendance- I can honestly say that I felt completely at home with this family! Perhaps it's because the matriarch of the family's maiden name is Hooker, OR that they are part hispanic, WHATEVER! I'm telling you, the comfort level was high!

Thanks Hinojosa family for being so LOVELY to my lens :)

Raindrops and Riley

It was a beautiful sunny day, all day long, and then BAM. As soon as we pulled in to the park the sun went away and didn't really come back out for the rest of the afternoon. And then the clouds had the nerve to send raindrops my way! It seems my awesome luck has run out, and I have now experienced my first rained out session. But before the downpour, I managed to grab these and a few other cute ones too:




















Riley is a funny little girl- Get ready little missy, we're going for a round 2 really soon!
