On my way out to the Langdon Ranch, I saw THE biggest snake I’ve ever seen. HUGE. I mean it. Way bigger than the one that was in my kitchen. I mean, this thing took up half the width of the dirt road. It had to be at LEAST 5 feet long. I think that’s part of being out in the country… So once I got past the snake, I was super excited to find some non-snakey locations to photography this sweet little gal. We had fun using different props and trying to get some raw emotions out of her!

The Langdons go to StoneWater Church with us and I was so thrilled when they contacted me to do a photo session of their daughter. Hopefully I got some treasures for their family! By the way, I was feeling a lot of vintage washes and textures for this set of pictures, so let me know what you think!

A few months ago, I got the pleasure of celebrating Kim’s graduation with a photoshoot. Her mom got to hang out with us and it was so fun to see them buddy together! A few weeks later Kim’s mom, Linda, contacted me to see if I could do a photoshoot of her other daughter, Rachel. Of course, I was more than delighted!

Rachel and Kim are polar opposites. Both incredibly sweet, kind, and fun, but SO different in lots of ways. It was so neat to hear the story from Kim’s mom about how they prayed for a little baby girl, finally got pregnant, went to to get an ultrasound, and it was a boy. Although excited, they were a little disappointed because they had been praying for a girl. When the day finally came for the baby to be born, they were incredibly surprised and delighted when the doctor told them they just had a baby GIRL! How cool that God did that for them? I don’t know what the ultrasound tech saw when she did the exam, but God heard their prayers and gave them a little girl. So awesome.

So anyway… here’s their baby… who is no longer a baby anymore! She’s going to be in the 8th grade next year! Rachel, thank you for letting me spend the evening with you taking pictures of your beautiful self! You are awesome, girl!

I love the Green Kids! They have made several appearances on my blog - such as Here and Here - and I’m always happy to hear that Morgan wants more pictures of her family! She and I are kindred spirits when it comes to pictures of family! This session is also special because Morgan’s husband, Tanner, is in the Army and is going to be stationed in Kentucky in June. It’s sad to see them go, but I know they will be back to see their family and hopefully I can snag some photographs of them whenever they make a return!

We had a short session one morning last week and I enjoyed every minute of running after the kids grabbing whatever shots I could get! Morgan, I love you, girl and I pray for so many blessings in your life, in your marriage, and in your family! And don’t forget to call when you come back to Texas for a visit! Enjoy your pictures!

This session marked my one and only “Bluebonnet Session” of the season! You gotta love those Texas bluebonnets! We woke up early for the shoot in order to get some soft light - lo-and-behold the light was BRIGHT! So much for soft light at 7:30 in the summer-time! Goodness! I think we made it work, though! These two kid are super precious and very well behaved… not to mention dressed to a T! I loved their little outfits that their mom picked out for them!

Jenni, I hope these are exactly what you were wanting! I enjoyed meeting you guys for an early morning shoot! Hope to do it again soon!

I have to admit, I was a WEE bit jealous of this baby’s beautiful hair. It was the first thing I noticed when I looked at her sweet face. It’s so full and beatiful - okay starting to sound like a Pantene Pro-V commercial - but you get the point. Not only was this little girl a cutie, but she had such an awesome temperment. Kids like that make me think there is hope yet for Eric and I having children in the semi-near future. (Mom, by that I mean 5 years - don’t get your hopes up.)

Anyway, I really enjoyed running around after this sweet girl and capturing her energy, her beauty, and her LOVE for jewelry! That’s a kindred spirit right there! Thanks Heather for asking me to capture your baby girl! It was such a joy! I hope you love the images!

I LOVE little toes and feet. SUPER precious.

That girl loves her necklaces!

I wish chubby legs were cute on older people. But they’re not. Just on little people. And aren’t they cute on her? Ahhhhh…..
