Baby Grayson

Of all the newborn sessions that I have now done,

this family was definitely a stand out.

Baby Grayson was only one week old at the time, 

but had such bold, beautiful eyes. 

As sweet as he is, Big Sis is definitely a mother hen!

We played tea party every second possible,

and in between, she would be sure to snuggle her baby brother

ever so sweetly.

This was by far a great way to finish up photoshoots in Texas...

I'll be back!

MOSTACCIOLI SALAD Recipe

I have not ever shared a recipe on my blog,

but have contemplated doing so a time or two.

I always knew that if I chose to do so,

it would be one steller of a recipe to share!

I have never been a pasta salad type girl,

but when I met my mother-in-law,

she changed that about me. 

This is a must-have at all family gatherings,

and so many friends have asked for the recipe when I bring it along.

Very easy!

Since I take this to almost every gathering,

I decided to spice it up and add a little patriotic flare for an

all American celebration this year!

MOSTACCIOLI SALAD


1 box pasta


1 1/2 cup white vinegar
1 1/2 cup veggie oil
1 1/2 cup white sugar


1/2 tsp celery seed
1 tsp seasoning salt
1 tbsp parsley
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp dry mustard
1 tbsp onion flakes


1 fresh cucumber
1/2 fresh onion
1 fresh green pepper


Directions: Cook the pasta using box directions. Blend all ingredients together in your blender and set aside (not the fresh veggies). Slice the fresh veggies according to how large or small you prefer the pieces to be. Mix everything together in a large bowl. Chill and enjoy!


Patriotic Version: I decided to split the pasta into thirds. I boiled 1/3 in clear water, another 1/3 in red water (using color dye), and the last 1/3 in blue water. I rinsed each batch with cold water before mixing it all together with the dressing. 

Reynolds Family

Love, love my teacher friends!

Another special session spent with a teacher family at the Arboretum,

and we somehow managed to keep all of the white pants clean

amongst all of the fun that we were having in the wet grass. 

I do love their bright colors with the spring green pop!

Baby Evelyn {Sneak Peek}

It's been 10 years since I have seen this beautiful mama.

In those 10 years,

we have traveled, learned, met, married, and loved.

Ten years she's a wife to her soul mate.

Three years, a mother to their beautiful son.

Now, just two weeks to forever be a mother to precious Baby Evie. 

Ten years, we meet again.

Living so close together, I am excited to watch this beautiful family grow!

More of this precious session to come!!

O'Brien Family

Just a few nights before we left Dallas,

I met these three adorable kiddos.

One of my favorite places to go on location for a shoot

is to a family's home. 

A home gives photos meaning, character, and personality. 

There is no better way to express all of the character and personality

of these three blue-eyed babies. 

When scrolling back through all of the pictures that we took that evening,

I told their mama just how much I love to see personalities within a photo.

That is exactly what this whole shoot was about!

Even though I only spent about an hour with these three,

I can tell you that this first shot shows all three personalities "To. A. T."

A Family:

Today's little moment's becomes tomorrow's precious memories.
