My daughter, Happy Birthday!

Ok guys...I am seriously in love with this picture of my little Madison!  As most of you know, my daughter Madison is and always will be my greatest inspiration! She inspires me as a person and as a photographer...she is one of the deepest and  most sincere people I have ever met.  The girl can bare her soul through her eyes...I swear...she is sweet and silly...and also completely sassy...take a look!

I took this picture at the Brianna Graham workshop...(thank you Brianna!)  I had an opportunity to photograph so many wonderful models, Madison being one of them...I was like a kid in a candy store...!!!  Madison turns 9 years old tomorrow, Nov. 12th.!!!  So, Happy Birthday, my love!  Madison has always been the "face" of my business...she was there with me the day I went and registered Simple Treasures Photography with the state...I will always remember that day...we went for ice cream right after to celebrate!

Here are just a few more of some of the models from the workshop...

This gorgeous boy belongs to my dear friend Diana Hall, she is an awesome photographer as well!

The morning after...

Oh my gosh...I had SO much fun with this couple!  Meet the Manns...this awesome couple just celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary, congratulations you guys!  So to really capture the occassion...we decided to do something a little different.  For their pictures we went for a "the morning after the big party" look...and I loved working with this couple....take a look... they are awesome!

We took these at a little outdoor bar in Las Colinas...I just love the contrast of the bar with their "after five" clothing.  The Manns did a quick clothing change and took more pictures...but I just had to share these....I hope you like them, guys...!

MY kids...

Well, after a long and busy weekend of shooting other families...I decided to turn the camera on my own loved ones.  I asked my parents and also my hubby's parents to join me at the park for a grand parent - grand kid pictures.  It means SO much to me that I have such wonderful parents and in-laws that I love so dearly...my children truly have the best, most loving grandparents...BUT...I am actually NOT showing you those picutres right now...Sorry...but there are just way to many to sort through...so, I will share those pics later...for now...you get MY KIDS!!!  I couldn't resist...after the grandparent shoot, I "made/bribed" my little ones to hang in there "just a little longer"...and I just love the results...

and one of Madison, my "super-model"...she CAN'T take a bad picture...!  My sweet little girl turns 9 on the 12th. of this month....sniff, sniff...she is such an angel...

and one last little one of my momma, and my momma "in-law"...I love this picture...aren't these ladies just beautiful...They are both so important to me...!

A true professional...

seriously...meet 11 year old Taylor.  Taylor has been modeling since she was 5 years old.  She definitely has the look!  But this girl is talented way beyond her face...she was just cast YESTERDAY in two different theater productions.  She acts, she sings...and she is simply a 'sweetheart'...!  While Taylor is currently working with an agency, she still needed new pictures made to send to...umm...Disney!  WOW...good luck Taylor...I am honored beyond words that you chose ME to photograph you for this amazingly important project!

My three month olds....

Three of my "baby planners" just (or very recently) turned three months old...and I want to show them off...I love these little sweetie pies...All of them first came to me while they were still in their mommy's tummy...

first up, Mr. Rawley...this baby boy  is SO joyful...and has the most adorable head!

Next up...lil Miss Kinley...this dainty baby is always pretty in pink...

and finally, Miss Alexandra...this baby is never short on smiles...and she has the best "rolls"...

Arent they all SO beautiful...luck me that I get to see them so often for their sessions...!!!
