Family Mini Sessions are Here!

Our Family Minis sell out every single year and we love that because we love being part of your family's story and watching your babies grow!  Plus, your friends and family LOVE seeing your beautiful Christmas cards! 

We are offering 2 dates this year in our beautiful, most requested location....our field! {weather permitting, of course!}  The October 2nd date will have a bit of a fall theme in our truck but our field is neutral if you don't want a fall theme.  November 12th will have more of a winter theme, but again our field is neutral with lots of looks.

Is a 20 minute session long enough?  Absolutely!  It's amazing how many images we can take of your beautiful family in this short amount of time.  It's just enough time for Dad's, they love mini sessions, and wiggly babies.

What's included?  5 DIGITALS. Our digitals normally sell for $1500 so this is quite a savings.  Plus, you receive a print release.  You can print unlimited prints, up to an 8x10, for friends and family.  They make wonderful Christmas gifts!  Plus, you can use your digitals to design your Christmas cards (we are happy to help if you like). 

Why?  Because we love photographing you and we want MOMS, yes you, to be in pictures with your family!  It's important.  I know! I know! I've heard and given every excuse to not be in pictures.  Honestly, I'm still trying to lose my baby weight...and my baby girl is 19 years old (not months)!  None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, so being in pictures is important.  YOUR family wants to see you in pictures with them!  So do it! 

What to wear?  Gone are the days of everyone having to be perfectly matched.  Pick one pattern, maybe two, and build the rest of the outfits around colors that are found in those prints/patterns.  If you need an excuse to go shopping, you can totally blame it on your session, but it's really fun to "shop" your closet.  I can't tell you how many Christmas cards our family has done with outfits we already had in our closets. 

Sign up Now!  There are only 6 available sessions for each date!  They will sell out, so please don't wait!

***Update: November is sold out!!!  

Dates:

October 2nd $350.00 USD November 12th $350.00 USD

"R" Family

Ah, I can hardly wait for their gorgeous Proof Book to arrive!!! But, while we wait, I wanted to share this image. They are all so beautiful/handsome....but Little Bit on the right makes me giggle with joy every time I see this image. She makes you want to giggle too, doesn't she? I wonder what she was thinking about.

Feature Friday

What a beautiful session!  Gorgeous children, beautiful barn, incredible golden light, sweet neighbors....delight!  I absolutely love this one and can easily see it as a large canvas on a focal wall, can't you? 

And oh my goodness this horse!  It's the tallest horse I've ever seen with a tail anyone would envy.  Love, love, love this image!

H Family {A Sneak Peek}

What a joy to watch these beautiful children grow!  I am so thankful that we were able to find a date for their session!!!

Sweet P is a Big Sister {A Sneak Peek}

Sweet P is a Big Sister!  And what a wonderful big sister she is.  These beauties are going to have the most wonderful time growing up together!  What a blessing to get to capture these two.  Loved these sessions!!!

A Cousin Session {Sneak Peek}

These two sweet boys simply made my day.  Our oldest daughter was having a really rough day and our baby girl had a lady run right in to the back of her truck.  They are both more than fine, thank you Lord, but this momma's heart was a bit frazzled.  I was spent! I'm thankful God is in control of everything because having these two sweet cousins over for their annual Cousin Session was just what I needed.  They were full of smiles, giggles, cookie breath, and the sweetest hugs.  Mr. C even told me he loved Kiki.  Swoon!    They are both so much fun and so very precious.  What a joy it is to photograph them and to know their beautiful mommies.  God is so good!

The A Family {A Sneak Peek}

Happy Sweet Sixteen, Adrienne! It may have been a windy day, but I'm thankful we were able to get several images before your Sweet Sixteen Party!

Reed~Lee High School Class of 2014 {A Sneak Peek}

Senior Guys are so fun to photograph! Really, they are. No, they don't come with trunks full of clothes and accessories so that we can play dress up, but they are still fun! Inevitably, they are less than thrilled but still very polite, when the session begins. By the time we are well in to the session, they have forgotten about being nervous and act like the are having fun. If they aren't having fun, please don't tell me. Ha!  I'm having a blast! It was a pleasure to meet this handsome senior and his beautiful mom and I count it a privilege to have captured his senior images.  Here are just a few.  I'm saving the others for his Session Premiere.

Cameron~Stanton High School Class of 2014 {A Sneak Peek}

This was such a cool session! It was my first request for welding pictures and I must say, it was incredible! I love new challenges. Seeing this senior's face light up when he fired up his welding torch? Priceless! How special to discover that his grandpa was a master welder. I just know God has amazing things in store for this fine Senior!

Danielle~Stanton High School Class of 2014 {A Sneak Peek}

I've known this senior for the past 4 years. She has persevered through major health issues including heart surgery and still managed to keep smiling. I am going to miss her so much in Yearbook class next year but I am so excited to see the path that she chooses and to watch her thrive. Her brother just recently returned from his 5th tour. Naturally, it was a given that we take some pictures with Old Glory on the day she was going to see him as he arrived in the States.

Bayli~ Stanton High School Class of 2014 {A Sneak Peek}

What a joy to photograph this beautiful Stanton High School Senior! I am so thankful we were able to find the date. In spite of grueling west Texas winds, God was so good to help me find locations that gave us respite from the fierce, hair-standing-straight-up, winds. She and her mom were game for absolutely anything and I loved that! I am so excited to show them all of her images this evening!  Delight!

She arrived with confetti, a beautiful frame, a car full of outfits and accessories to choose from, and even balloons. What fun!

Gorgeous!

Adri {Midland Christian Senior Class of 2014~A Sneak Peek}

Wowza! This Midland Christian Senior is gorgeous inside and out! One of the comments on facebook said she looked like Pocahontas. Love that. Oh what fun we had taking her senior pictures! I am hoping to get to watch her play ball sometime this spring. Until then, I cannot wait to show her all of her images!!!

Easter Sessions {A Sneak Peek}

We are doing something we have never done before. Three Exclusive Mini Sessions in three months! Each theme has limited availability and if the first theme is any indicator, I cannot wait for the other two. The 2nd Mini Session signup is coming soon. It's a Superhero theme. So fun!!! These adorable children came dressed in their Easter finest and Bubbles (some called him Ke$ha) the bunny was super excited they were there.

Mr. Casen came ready to party.  His outfit was adorable and his reaction the the bunny was priceless!

Mr Smiley, aka Wyatt, was all smiles and snickers.  I love his new expression!  He wrinkles his tiny nose. So cute!

The gorgeous Miss Olivia and her handsome brother thrilled me by bringing their Nonna and Aunt Julie.  I always look forward to story time with Olivia.  She tells the best stories and when she decides to flash her smile, it thrills my heart and lights up the entire room.  Her baby brother, who has grown so much since his newborn session, had shots the day before and wasn't feeling quite himself.  But from this adorable gummer smile, complete with shiny bottom teeth, you couldn't tell.  Precious doesn't even begin to describe these two!

The was my first time to photograph these beautiful sisters.  All three are beautiful, just like their mom.  Oh, those eyes!!!

And the bunny family!  They were so generous to keep their show bunnies for me for these sessions.  The bunny could not have been sweeter.  He sat in the basket and posed for every image.  My favorite part, besides getting to photograph these two with their bunny, was the costume they brought.  A unicorn!!!  Mr. Bubbles the bunny is really a boy.  Poor guy, we dressed him up with daisies and then the pink unicorn costume.  To say he just may have issues is an understatement.  Needless to say, he totally rocked it!  Ha!

Thank you sweet families for blessing us by coming to the Easter Sessions.  We loved having you!!!

Photo of the Morning

Photo of the Morning: What a blessing to photograph this beautiful family as they celebrated their baby girl's 16th birthday this past weekend. Love, joy, and laughter are my favorite things to capture and this session encompassed all three. Delight!

A Generation Photo Session {A Sneak Peek}

What a special honor to take pictures of generations together! Their love for each other was so evident and Papaw beamed from ear to ear!

Look at him with his Great Grandsons and Great Granddaughter!

And this little guy is so precious in his grandpa's blanket. Can you tell he is smiling at his mommy?

Princess Avery {A Sneak Peek}

Princess Avery arrived right before Christmas! What a precious gift. I shared a few of these images on my "old" blog and wanted to be sure to share a few images of her with her Gorgeous family!
