7 day old Noah

Well I have been excitedly waiting for this little pumpkin to arrive.  I am just so thrilled for his family.  And let me tell you, baby Noah does not disappoint.  He is about as precious as precious can be.

Sometimes you have to give Grandma what she wants…

I love this family.  Seriously, they are the sweetest family.  I love Stacy, Derek, Jordan, Layton, Lexi, and Liam.  Heck, I even love Grandma.  And she really, really wanted a family portrait.  She told me she doesn’t have any good pics of all of them together.  Now…we all know that I like a more relaxed, informal type of portrait.  But with 7 people (4 of them adult-size, and 3 under the age of 3 and a 1/2) in my tiny studio…well, I think we all did a pretty good job!

Big Boy Boaz

To be honest, this really wasn’t Bo’s day.  And we’re going to try again really soon.  But just to prove it wasn’t a total wash out, I had to put a few pics up.  Because, hey, even on a bad day–this kid is c-u-t-e.

Kai (5 years old)/Dallas Children’s Photographer

It is hard to believe that I have known Kai for 5 years.  This time, it was clear that he is no baby anymore.  This is a full fledged little boy.  I love this quiet moment though (it didn’t last for long!)…

Analisa, 5 years old/Dallas Child Photography

This girl has grown so much since our session last year.  Not a baby anymore, but a joyful and happy little girl.

Mommy and Me (with Little Pete and Bridget)/Dallas Family Photography

Fun, fun, fun Mommy and Me session with a fave family–I really love these little ones.  And their Mommy made a really good point when she said that since she is always the one taking the pics, she isn’t in a lot of pics with the kids. I’m so glad that she came in for this session. These will be very special, I’m sure.

Joseph, 8 days old/Dallas Newborn Photography

This little guy reminded me of all of the things I love about photographing newborns.  The earlier the better!

JoVaughn (10 months)/Dallas baby photography

I’m just taking a quick look through the images from this session and this one just really jumped out at me.  I’ll be adding more when I get a chance, but I just loved the emotion in this one.  So sweet.  This is the kind of image that speaks to me so loudly.  Simple and full of emotion.

Sweet little Theo

This little guy has grown so much!  I had so much fun with him (do I always say that?)….he is the embodiment of everything that is delicious about a 9 month old.   This kiss…it is one of my favorite things about this age–I mean, really, how sweet is this?

And look at this smile–those baby teeth–so adorable.
