“You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.”











One of my favorite clients (she was the first!) and her beautiful family had a quick session when we visited Katy last week. The weather was awful! It felt like it was 120 degress with complete cloud cover. We had to rush just to get a few shots before the rain started. This family has been through so much over the past few weeks and months. I was determined to get some beautiful family portraits to celebrate Dad’s good news and good health! Enjoy!







While shooting the “Mama’s Boys” session, we snuck in a few shots of the two lovebirds…




“I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
‘I served in the United States Navy’”
-John F. Kennedy (JFK)
Being a mother is, without a doubt, the most rewarding job on Earth. But with all the joys, we have to take the heartache too. Mamas don’t like letting their babies go, but it’s gotta happen eventually. A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing this beautiful family. Mama wanted a few portraits of her boys before one of them left to join the military. She was emotional and teary-eyed during our shoot, not wanting to let her baby leave just two short days later. I know he’s ready to serve his country proudly in the United States Navy. *love and kisses, Mama*

It was COLD the morning we shot these! We had planned to be outdoors, in a beautiful urban setting, but the weather brought us indoors. I was happy to finally be able to get some family Christmas portraits that included the family Christmas tree!





I had SO much fun with this family! We played, ran, saw a turtle in the swamp, chased squirrels and rode a tractor. It was a really a great afternoon! Unfortunately, Big Sister got a splinter not long after we started, so she was feeling a little blue for a while. Luckily, her mom and dad are experts at cheering her up, so we got a couple of good smiles out of her, despite her best efforts to hide them!





I took some portrait of these BEAUTIFUL little girls this summer. I was so happy that Mom called to schedule a family session for the holidays! These sisters are so much fun and as sweet as can be. And their parents are pretty cool too…
