Good Morning...

Hey guys...happy Friday to you!  I am still playing blog catch-up...But thankfully, I am all caught up on placing orders and editing...!  Here are a few sweet kiddos...Enjoy!

First up...the Beautiufl Miss "E", she is such an old soul...very serious...I just love her big eyes!

Next up...the "L" children...these two kept me running for sure...they were not all that sure if they wanted their pictures made, but in the end...I think that we got some pretty darn good stuff...They are adorable!

Prayers...

Many of you may know this already.  A terrible thing has happened to one of my family's favorite Christian singers.  Steven Curtis Chapman's youngest child was tragically killed yesterday.  Maria was only 5 years old and the youngest of the Chapmans' six children.

My family is blessed everyday by Steven Curtis Chapman's music and his powerful message of Faith.  Though I have never met him personally...I am heart broken over his family's loss and I feel like I want to get the word out and ask that we all keep this family in prayer during this terribly sad time. 

Accidents can happen in an instant..we have no guarantees for tomorrow...please be careful everyone...and love on your children as much as you possibly can..

The Jacksons...

This shoot was one of my favorites of the week for sure...I love family sessions and I love these ages of kids!  Mom did an awesome job with the clothes and remembered to pack snacks...very important!  I am showing you guys a bunch here...but I just couldn't resist, they are all so great!  The Jacksons' are truly a beautiful family! This is my idea of what family pictures should be...relaxed and playful!  I hope that you guys love them!

Daddy's Surprise...

I love working with this family...you have seen the Daltons on my blog before...and they are always a joy to work with! 

This time around was especially fun because the pictures are a surprise for their daddy in honor of Father's Day next month.  I am amazed that these two beautiful children have kept this fun secret for weeks...that's right...they have known about this special session with Ms. Marquette for weeks and not said a word about it to daddy!  I dont even think my 9 year old could keep a secret that long!  They are some super smart and sweet children...

I hope you love the preview Jill...and I had a great time at lunch!

By the way everyone...I am looking for some help with my editing and some office stuff...unfortunately I dont have a lot of time to train -  so I would need someone who already has a good amount of skills in photoshop.  So if anyone is out there reading this and is interested just give me a call...817-905-7570.

Also, many of you have noticed that I have not been blogging as much lately...I appreciate your emails and I want to assure that I am doing great...joyfully busy and I love it! I also want to thank you for your concern for my mom...she is doing much better now...

My  youngest baby turns three this Saturday and we are having his party at my parents home...swimming, pinatas...tractor riding ( my folks live on a farm) and maybe I'll even share some pictures...wink!

Have a blessed weekend everyone...I hope that you all get some relaxing and fun time with your families!

Adorable...

I am so happy I got to work with this awesome mom and her two little ones...these clients are on "loan" to me while their current photographer is on maternity leave...These kids are both gorgeous...they look so much like their momma! And while I love so many of the pictures from this session, there are a few that stand out to me as being special...I especially love the last one, take a look...

A Bridal...

No...I am still not shooting any weddings...but I was excited to get to do a bridal session!  This bride to be was referred to me by another great client of mine...and it really was nice to do something a little different.  We shot at the Dallas Arboretum on a day that just so happened to have more school field trips that you can imagine....it was funny because we seriously had little "swarms" of kids around us watching and cheering and telling my client how pretty she looked!  It was adorable...!

Nancy, I am so excited for you...you looked beautiful and I hope you love your pictures....see you tomorrow evening...!

5 Day Beauty...

This is little baby "A"...she is only 5 days old and could'nt be any sweeter!  She was such a good baby during her newborn session.  She just slept, ate, pooped...and slept some more...all those wonderful things that a newborn baby should do.  Since her parents signed up for my baby plan you will be seeing much more of her in the future...she's beautiful!

These pictures almost give me baby fever...wink...

I love this last picture so much...I couldn't decide if I liked it better in color or in b/w...what do you think?

On a side note...as some of you know, my mom fell last week in her garage and had to be taken to the hospital.  No one was home to help her at the time and my parents live on a farm with no direct neighbors...thankfully she is doing much better now.  I am very grateful to all of you who have extended your support and well wishes to her.  You are all wonderful!  Moms' fall...along with my girl scout camping trip with Madison has put me behind by at least 6 clients on the blog...yikes...that is a lot to make up...SO...I am so sorry if I have missed you this time around!  You are all so very dear to me...and being your photographer is such a privilege.  I am thankful every day for you all.  I look forward to seeing you at our scheduled proofings...your going to love your pictures!
