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…..

Angela & I grew up together… in small po-dunk Stephenville. I loved every minute of growing up there, but I have to admit, I don’t miss living there either. LOL! Angela and I were in the same class in school and as we all graduated, we parted and went separate ways. Angela decided to go to Texas A&M for college. She actually graduated last year, but she joined a couple of her sorority sisters/close friends for some “senior” pictures! These girls were all so beautiful and VERY natural in front of the camera! It made my job so easy! I had so much fun with these girls going around College Station getting some fun pictures and making great memories!

Angela, I know you’ve been anticipating these pictures so much! I hope they are everything you imagined (and more)! Congratulations on graduating!

We started of the session in their old Sorority House!

Aren’t they all so stunning?

Angela is on the far left, if you were wondering!

They told me that they MIGHT have snuck into the kitchen when they were living there and eaten the yummy food they found late at night…. they MIGHT have… They said they needed to reminisce on those moments that MIGHT have happened.

Off to some Aggie Landmarks…

I think the thumbs up might mean something….

Yay for hoola-hoops! These girls had some SERIOUS moves.

Angela, you are gorgeous!

Bubble fun!

The grand finale - they jumped into the pond in the middle of campus! After a humid session, it was quite rewarding for them, I think!

Yay for friends!

Yay for fellow Tarleton State University graduates (or almost grads)! Kim and I took a Video Production class together my last semester of college - one of the few classes that I really enjoyed going to! LOL! The class broke up into groups and each group filmed a video and edited it themselves. I remember that our professor was SO excited about the video our group was making (I really have no idea why… haha). My group was full of perfectionists (yes, I admit it) so we worked SO hard on it! You see, there was a film festival at the end of the semester and if it was good enough, it would make it to play on the big screen. I don’t know if I would have been more proud or embarassed to see my big mug on the big screen - but nevertheless - it would have been cool.

It WOULD have been cool…. if the computer we were using to create our movie had not been stolen 2 days before we were going to turn in our project. Yes, it was a tragic day when we found out our video was gone forever. Actually, I think our professor was more upset than we were - he was CONVINCED that we were going to win the festival. We most likely wouldn’t have won - but anyway… I’m sure the computer theif, wherever he is, enjoys watching “Georgia Price” - the short ‘documentary’ about an up and coming photographer, who used her point-and-shoot camera to photograph the lovely couple (that would be Eric and me… haha)!

I just remember that every day we would CRACK UP during class watching our poor acting skills and jokes that were probably only funny to us. I wish I could watch it right now. Shout out to GEORGIA!

Anyway, I enjoyed having class with Kim and was so thrilled when she contacted me to do her senior pictures! We spent one Sunday evening going across campus to the places that she wanted to remember!

Kim, I wish you the very best at your new job in Brownwood! You rock, girl!

Ryan wanted do do a photoshoot, just because. Okay, so you want to know how to make a photographer happy? Book a session… just because. Ryan totally understands the value in documenting our vapor of a life! Plus, he told me that he wanted to support my business - opposed to going to someone else… so that’s DOUBLE brownie points for him! So, we met at the city park and had a very relaxed session, walking around, talking about how much of a dork we both are (Ryan is SOOOO OCD about random things and I’m …. well, I’m just weird all around… haha), and he let me snap lots of pictures along the way. Very fun!

I hope that you all will see the value in documenting all the stages in your life…. not just the ones that the world deems significant. Each day in our lives are significant and filled with an opportunity to be purposeful! I hope that you all will take a moment to stop, take in all that’s going on around you, and enjoy the little things in life. Oh, and by the way, don’t forget to book a session to help you remember those little things!

Ryan told me he was totally a kid at heart… so we had to go play on the playground!!

And here’s where I got in a bit of trouble…. Take a close look… while Ryan was laying on the slide… and kid came up behind him and was upset that it was taking him so long to go down the slide! I’m sorry, cute little kid. It was never my intention to frustrate your sliding schedule!! You are TOO funny!

What are little boys made of?

Frogs and snails, and puppy-dogs tails,

And such are little boys made of.

Little boys are made of lots of things, I’m not sure if it’s puppy dogs tails, but I know that it’s a whole lot of cuteness. Carson may have puppy-dog eyes opposed to tails, I think. Carson was also no amatuer at being photographed. He was the sweet little doll I photographed back in September during this family shoot. His mom and dad are so sweet and friends of ours from StoneWater, and I was so excited when Nacole asked me to photograph little Carson in honor of his first birthday! We tried a couple new locations, including a nice little laundramat (thanks Nacole for letting me run with the creative juices… lol) and I’m so excited about the way the pictures turned out. I hope ya’ll enjoy them!
