Baby K, On the Way!

With a busy little gal anxiously awaiting her baby Valentine,

this family of 3+ One met up with me for some 

sun in the park on a gorgeous January weekend. 

I love a session when the clients are up for anything with a smile on their face...

stand here, sit there, lay down, hold here, do this, do that...

Turned out to be a great session!

Here is my string of favorites...

LOVING the bridge, with a pop of color here and there!

Big Sis is waiting in her pink

for that precious little Valentine to arrive!

Celebration - Brandon & Lindsay

A big celebration for engagement was in store this weekend.

Friends and family gathered from near and far

to celebrate the love between these two love birds!

Drinks, food, KSU basketball, conversations, introductions, 

dancing, tall boots, and crazy socks were all in store for this fun evening!

Congratulations,

Brandon & Lindsay!

Only a few more months until Mr. and Mrs. Damas are official...

can't wait to celebrate the big day!

Anniversary - Nathan + Ashlee

Nathan and I met through our church youth group many years ago.

When he asked if I would take pictures of he and his wife, 

it didn't seem possible that he was old enough to be married!

I met Ashlee, and it was immediate that I understood why he chose her...

such an outgoing, carefree, fun-loving, and just your All-American gal!

They told me the story of how they met, 

and the joy that six years of marriage has brought to them!

Yes, six! 

Congratulations you two love birds!! :)

Never having had official wedding pictures taken,

it was a beautiful day to head out for some formals,

followed by some fun on the farm.

Must Share Moment - Big Sister

As I edit again tonight,

I came to this photo and it struck me immediately...

Another Must Share Moment!

Anxiously awaiting the arrival of #2,

this big sister to-be has Mommy and Daddy all to herself for just a few more weeks!

She had just woken up from a nap, and was unsure about the 

whole picture taking idea, but what a beauty! 

I love the look on her face, and the love of the hands that hold her so tightly to their heart!

K Family {Sneak Peek}

Mid-January and 70 degree weather...

What a perfect day for a photo shoot!

I met this precious family of 3 (+1) last fall,

and we had a great time playing in the park!

Here is a quick sneak peek of today!

Norris Family

Silly,

it's one thing I do best. 

I love that when this family asked if they 

could bring a few props for their session,

I was hooked and excited instantly!

A father, his children, and a grandchild.

All together for fun and games...

and not a minute goes by without a prank!

Silly,

contagious!

Eimerbrink Family

Growing up in Kansas, I wasn't sure what to expect

when I heard Texas had "mild" winters.

50's and 60's for 75% of the winter...I adapted fast!

Yet sometimes it's not quite that. 

An outdoor session planned with this beautiful family,

but a chilly 30 degree day with two little ones pushed us indoors.

A little girl who is quite the happy camper,

and a busy-body digging through the photographer's bucket of goodies.

Mini chalkboards...a 2 year old distraction!

Christmas season and a 2 year birthday celebration...

not too bad for a cold day in Texas!

Baby Collyer

Best friends are family,

and to me, my best friend is my sister.

From the time we met at the age of 4,

we would fight over who was "mom" when we played house.

That maternal instinct of wanting to put the balloon under our shirt

and dress my baby brother like a girl to push around in the stroller (sorry Al). 

Luckily we were next door neighbors (1 mile apart...boondock style),

so daily play dates were a must.

Disagreements, of course.

Yet knowing each other so well that with one look across the room,

we spoke with our eyes and schemed a plan sneak away to the play house (our get-away). 

Inseparable, we were.

Finally the time has come where the cute basketball baby bump 

was no longer a balloon, but the little mister I met over the holidays. 

Ours.

Well, she and her husband, but...

A best friend is a sister, so he's mine too (right??), 

but more than just a mile away 

(about 300 miles to be exact).

Can't he stay the same until I see him again?

And if there is anyone who is downright country,

it's this child's father, from hunting, to fishing, and a country twang in his words.

So of course we did his photos outdoors,

complete with overalls, huntin' gear, and 'ol green JD.

Love to all...

Bristow Family

Lately 

I've been busy, busy, busy.

The end of a holiday, 

the start to a new year, 

back to school,

a bowl game,

and some extra time with the boys.

Everything I love so dearly.

And just as much,

I love to share these sessions with you.

What a treat it was for me to be able to go

home to my old stomping ground of Brookville...

dirt roads, a few stop signs, and familiar friends.

All grown up with families of their own,

it was a great treat to catch up after so many years!

One big happy family,

from tall to small.

Snuggle, snuggle, snuggle!

It seems that at the end of a session, 

it's not always everyone's favorite activity of the day.

When you've had enough...you've had enough!

And although they've had enough,

we definitely made time for these smiles...
