These last few days of cooler weather that we have had have been a welcome break! I wish it had been this nice a couple weeks ago for this daddy/daughter photo session! I think we have a knack for doing photos on the hottest days! We are SO glad this trio didn’t complain and we were able to get some great photos! Enjoy!
Big sister gave us a great smile every time, and little sister’s expressions are so cute!
Here are the long awaited photos of little miss B! These folks happen to be good friends of ours, so we have had the privilege to watching miss B grow from when she was first born. She is such a happy baby and you can see a few of her smiles in these photos. We had such a nice time and can’t wait to show them to you all! So without further ado…….the photos!
We get this a lot: “What should I wear to my photoshoot?” And truth-be-told there is no wrong answer, but we thought we would share a few tips and things we have observed from our side of the camera.
-It’s a good idea to try to coordinate colors with your family instead of having everyone “matching.”
-White does not translate well through the lens, stick with colors that are vibrant and happy.
-Don’t mix up “boring” with “classic!” Be bold in your color choice, and your photo will stand out from the rest. Hey, if you still can’t stand it when you get your photos back, have it developed in Black and White!
-Bring more than one outfit. It takes just a few minutes to change clothes and it will add much more style and variety to your shoot.
-Wear something comfortable. If you are dressed stiff and formal, you will LOOK stiff and formal in your photos.
-Most of all: HAVE FUN! If you are having a good time it shows.
Here are a few kids outfit ideas we have selected:
Your little girl will look adorable in soft color, with a punch of purple.
And any ornery little boy will look great in a blazer and a newsboy cap!
We took photos of this beautiful family in Granbury a few weeks ago! And I am just now getting around to putting them on the blog! Shame on me for keeping these pretty pictures away from all of our faithful readers! Anyway, enjoy these photos of a family that is definitely as sweet as they look. 
I think this is one of our favorites! Adorable Mr. C just chillin’ in the grass.
I think we picked about the hottest day of the year to do this young man’s photos, but with his perfect manners and easy smile he made our job easy and fun! Thanks so much for braving the heat! (Note to readers: Don’t let the summer sun deter you from getting photos done, some of the best ones have been on these sunny, summer days!)
Just wanted to give you all a sneak peek of what is coming up this week! I will try to get the rest of these up as soon as possible. Hope you all are enjoying your week! Enjoy.
The day of Parker’s photoshoot was pouring rain. All day. We kept wondering if it would clear up enough to do senior photos, and finally just before we were supposed to be here the rain stopped. It ended up that the lighting was perfect, and the ground was pretty dry, so it all seemed to work out well. We did all the photos downtown and I think some of my favorites are of Parker in his suit. (note to everyone: we love it when you dress up, and get “into” the photo, it makes our job so much more fun! We got to know Parker and his mom and brother a little, and had such a good time. They are all so sweet and easy to work with. Thanks so much you guys and Congratulations Parker! Enjoy!
Texas is so beautiful in the spring! We took photos at an old barn, then found some wildflowers, then went to old town Burleson for a few shots. The weather was very nice, except a little windy. (which is normal for Texas) We had a great time with these three kiddos, they are growing up so fast. Younger brother was so cute with his cheesy grin, we just had to put one on here. Hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed getting to know this little trio!
As we all know, Texas weather can be unpredictable! Amy and Caleb’s wedding day had very high winds that made photos outside “challenging.” We had a great time though, and just took photos in between each gust of wind. They each seemed to be so relaxed and really enjoying their special day.
One of my favorite things was when Amy came out to see Caleb for the first time. He had his head against the wall so he wouldn’t peek! When he finally opened his eyes to see her the look on his face was priceless! It was so fun to work with a couple that is so in love and want God to rule in their lives. Enjoy the photos everyone!
