The Graves Family - 2nd Year!

This is one of my favorite families of all times... the Graves Family!!! Last year when I was out in Austin I took pictures of their family and then John called me up this year and asked if I would come out to Dallas and take pictures again. I'm hoping it's a yearly thing because I can't get enough of this family! It's so much fun being able to see a family grow and change every year.

We started taking pictures at their house in Dallas and then moved all over the place to find some other unique places to get pictures. Nicole follows my blog so she knows the kind of places that I look for. She took me to a couple places that I LOVED.... she said, "I know you like color and urban, so I thought this would work." Um yea!!!!

I have so many favorites, but I cut it down to my favorite 30... i'm so bad at getting it down to a small number. So.. enjoy!







The wonderful and amazing kids!






These are my favorite!





I Love how she's the only one looking back!




Gorgeous Family!!!



These girls are all AMAZING!!!


The Guys!!


We were shooting near a park and the kids were going crazy walking by all the play equipment... so we decided to let them go at it!

Love this one for some reason!















So cute... I love the tongue!





One of my ABSOLUTE FAVS!!!











The whole gang! These girls have been helping this family out for years and are such a part of the family. I've actually known both of them for about 10 years so it was so much fun connecting again with them and catching up.


So Cute.








We then headed back to the house and played around some more with the girls. I love these jumping on the bed shots!








Love this one with Nicole and her girls!


Thank you guys for allowing me to be a part of your family! I loved my time with you and can't wait until next year!

Shelley's Maternity Session

Yesterday I met up with Shelley and John Robbins to shoot a maternity session with them. I photographed their wedding in 2006 and i'm so glad that they called me back up to shoot this session. We had such a great time and it was so good catching up.

I still have a ton of pictures to go through but I had to share this one. This was the last part of the day and I had a vision when I saw this location and this is exactly what I envisioned! I think this shot is absolutely gorgeous and I LOVE it! Once I've had a chance to go through the other pictures I will share more!

Christmas Cards

Well we've been crazy busy working on Christmas Cards lately, but I have to let you all know that tomorrow is the deadline to order cards and get them in time for Christmas. We will be on vacation all next week and we won't be processing any orders, so all orders must be placed by tomorrow!!!

Below are my wonderful sister and her families cards. I love them!

Ben is growing up!

A few weeks back I got to go to Ben's house and see him and his family! As I have said so many times, I love seeing the Robinsons. I did a baby's first year session for Aaron and now we are working on Ben's sessions. This was his 2nd session and he did pretty good! What a cutie!!!

And of course Aaron and the family had to get in on the action! Aren't they the cutest family ever?

Brother Love!!

Cute Cute Cute Kids!!!

Wednesday I photographed 2 of the cutest girls ever. We had so much fun running around taking pictures and they even came up with some of their own places and poses! Gotta love that! They are 2 of the smartest little girls I have ever seen; they were telling me all about the Desert landscape and all the plants... I was amazed!

I got a ton of great ones but here are some of my favorites!

Aren't they the cutest?










This was Talia's idea.. her pose and location.. I thought it was very creative!!:)





One of my favorites.















They were trying to catch a bunny rabbit.. I thought this was so funny!















Look at those beautiful eyes!









And again, a horrible picture of me and totally out of focus, I have to work on these kind of shots, but I had to include it because I love it!!
