Palma family photo shoot - League City, Texas

November 17, 2008 – 12:06 am

Since I’m catching up on old blog posts, here’s a session from this summer:

I’ve known Nancy for about a 4 years now, and with both girls away at college, we had to wait until summer to find a weekend where both girls were back at home.

Every girl needs a goofy dad…

Yes, even if they’re this goofy.

Angela’s 6 month session - Tomball, Texas

October 14, 2008 – 11:51 pm

Remember Angela?

Well she’s 6 months old now!

We headed out to Spring Creek Park in Tomball for a quick family session to get some adorable photos of this tiny red headed beauty!

Momma and her little girl… the first is my favorite.

Look at her amazing blue eyes! And that fiery red hair! Soooo cute!

Child sessions definitely have a special place in my heart… especially when the kids are this cheerful!

She’s such a happy baby!

Thank you Tricia and Angela! Y’all both look so cute in purple!

Erika’s Senior Portrait Session - The Woodlands, Texas

August 30, 2008 – 12:28 pm

Last month, Chad and I headed over to Erika’s home in The Woodlands for her high school senior portraits.

I really enjoy senior sessions because you get to work with some young, beautiful, and intelligent students, and Erika was certainly no exception.

When we first arrived, Erika and her mom told me that they loved this photo on my website:

I love that photo too, but I am partial. (She’s my little sister!) Erika reminds me soooo much of Kristin (liking similar movies, plays, games, ivy league schools :p ). For the record, much to Chad’s dismay, Kristin is starting her second year at The University of Texas at Austin because it’s relatively local, and because of their awesome Geo Sciences program.

But enough about Kristin… this blog post is about Erika! So here’s some of my favorites, plus some photos of the whole family!

Doesn’t she have such beautiful eyes and long lashes!

While we were inside, we had Erika’s younger sister join her for some sisterly shots.

We headed outside for some nice outdoor shots in the family’s lush backyard. This fun shot below is the one she chose for her high school yearbook! Doesn’t she have gorgeous hair?!?

Then we grabbed the whole family for some fun and unique family shots!

Thanks everyone! It was a… splash!

Bryce’s 6 month session - Kingwood, Texas

July 29, 2008 – 2:15 pm

All other babies out there, you have something to aspire to… to be as sweet as this little guy! I have so many photos of this little guy smiling and playing, I had a hard time finding my favorites. He’s got those beautiful baby blue eyes and a very dashing personality to go along!

It was sweltering hot, and Bryce (and his parents) were so patient in scheduling the session (it was re-scheduled about 5 times due to afternoon summer storms), but it was worth it!

Janae and Brad are new to Texas, so we found an area close to their home for the shoot. We went to East End Park in Kingwood which backs up to part of Lake Houston. We started the session by taking a 1/3 mile hike to a spot in the shade by the lake thinking it would be cooler, but it’s hard to escape the Texas heat without an air conditioner…

: And because I always love little feet shots…

After our walk by the lake, we returned to the open field at the front of the park. We even encountered some wildlife trying to stay cool.

: Fortunately, we were on a boardwalk about 3 feet above this wildlife specimen. Can anyone identify the kind of snake?

: Having some fun with the wide angle lens…

And when I had just one more shot left on my memory card, we captured this little jewel.

Thank you, Bryce, for being such an angel and making my job so easy!

Happy Birthday to Arnold! Galveston, TX

April 21, 2008 – 12:33 am

During our busy weekend, on Sunday morning, Chad a I woke up bright and early and drove down to sunny Galveston to meet Arnold, Irene, their 5 daughters and 7 grand children.

Why were they all there? It was Arnold’s birthday! He was turning 65 and his family flew in from as far as California to spend his birthday weekend with him!

This was such a large and cheerful family, Chad and I really enjoyed spending the morning with them. (I also really enjoyed feeling the sand between my toes and the waves splashing on my feet.)

Chad and I later headed down to The Strand for a cool Sunday morning stroll before our afternoon shoot with Mckinley and her cousin Noah (but I’ll save that for a later blog).

Below are some of my favorites from that crisp morning.
