The dancer

This one, believe it or not, is 12 years old. She is a dancer and wanted some photos with her tap shoes. I know Mom is probably dying to see these, so here is a sneak preview!

Beautiful Miss M...

Love. This. Photo.

Had a very quick session this AM just to get a single shot for this guy's ad-from-parents in the football program. Mostly we took goofy shots because he's in the Crew. For you non-Southlakers, it's the kids who run up and down the football field with letter flags and do pushups when the team makes a touchdown. Just a rowdy bunch of non-skirt wearing cheerleaders, if you will. I didn't plan on getting one like this (he was tired):

Some kids for a change!!

These two gorgeous little models belong to my daughter's AWESOME kindergarten teacher. I guess ex-teacher, now! This session was actually a Christmas gift, but who had time then?? I'm glad we ended up having a nice warm day for the session instead.

I bet you can tell from the pictures, but "N" is a very reserved and thoughtful guy, while "G" is ALL HAM. Cute ham, though.

A little late...

Younger sister to the girl in the previous post, "A" was just as fun, creative, and beautiful. The *session* ended up being a little scary, but we were troopers! And I'm so glad we stuck around, we got some crazy wonderful shots! This may very well be the last time you'll see this location from me :)

Here we go again!

Another GORGEOUS girl. A tiny bit past senior, but close enough for our purposes. This is a teaser, M...I haven't even come CLOSE to wading through all the pictures we took today. I had a blast and I am so very very happy with these!! I know you will be too, can't wait to share all of them.

And thanks for helping me find my bag ;)

Such a great read

For clients or potential clients wondering why we "charge so much" for prints...

Why custom photography costs more

Airplanes and "D"

So to continue with the previous post, having decided I was going to focus more attention on growing my children/baby photography side of the business, and having grown a little bolder from my weekend in Chicago...I had the very good fortune to be seated on the plane behind the ONE baby flying to DFW from O'Hare. Most people would not consider that fortune, but most people wouldn't have noticed how insanely cute he was, either. I can't stress the insanely part enough. INSANELY cute. And I
thought...what would Audrey (tell me to) do? And so as we were taxing in DFW, I asked if they were from the area, and then gave them my card and asked (as non-creepy as I could) if they'd be interested in letting me photograph their son as a model for my portfolio.

They were gracious enough to smile and take my card, but I thought surely they'd be weirded out by a stranger asking that question. I crossed my fingers that they'd keep the card and look at my site and see that I wasn't a total nutjob, and maybe even email me back. They did!!! And we set it up quickly and he was...get this...EVEN MORE CUTE. And very, very interested in seeing his pictures on my camera.

So here you go...my current favorite (non-related, though this is what my kids should have looked like) model, "D". A special thanks to his mom for trusting me, and also for not letting me get lost in the parking lot.

Oh and happy belated birthday, little man!!!
