This adorable 21 month old has the most beautiful sparkely eyes. I did absolutely NO retouching on the eyes. It’s completely crazy how beautiful they are. We had a fun mini session out at the Lake here in Longview. We got the good weather right before it started raining again. It was such a treat to photograph this beautiful little girl.

I hope you enjoy the preview!!

I didn’t even have to bribe her for this lovely smile!

peek a boo!

this image completely amazes me. LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

seriously, those eyes!!!!

These little girls were a hoot. (yes, I’m an owl now).

Other than being so completely adorable, they were fun to work with!!! Meet Miss M who is seven and Miss L who just turned one. Their mom wanted to make sure she captured this sweet time in her little girls’ lives. Thank you so much for choosing me to do their photos. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!!

LOVE this storyboard

Seven year olds are so much fun!! I hope her mama is prepared for all the boys that will be calling her in a few years….

Check out those sparkely eyes!!!

A perfect one year portrait!

This one is too funny not to share. She kept making this face over and over. I couldn’t help but take a photo.

I title it..

“I’m soooo gonna lose it right now if this stupid lady doesn’t stop making stupid animal sounds to get me to smile!!!!!”

Happy friday!

These kids came in with their parents for a fun family session out at the Lake. The colors on the leaves have started to change and they dressed perfectly with fall colors.

They were absolutely adorable and I couldn’t help but post a quick sneak peak from their session.

Thanks so much for having me do your photos!!!

This little firecracker was a blast!! She and I had quite a fun time stomping on leaves and exploring the gardens.

Check out her sparkely brown eyes. GORGEOUS!!!

okay seriously, could anyone resist that face???

This photo brings tears to my eyes as a mom myself. Between siblings there’s such love (and fighting). It’s just so sweet….

That’s what girls are made of.

This adorable family has two little girls. Youngest is 6 months and the oldest is 3 years. They are both so incredibly sweet and fun. The three  year old had a blast exploring around the park. She was a bundle of energy and full of laughter. Her younger sister was so content the entire time. She didn’t even make a fuss once during the entire session!!

Here’s a quick preview for you to enjoy!

I’ve known this family since I was in diapers.  Mr. and Mrs. B were very good friends of my parents when I was just a little squirt. I have very fond memories of going over to their house and playing with their kids. Yesterday I got the opportunity to see them all again after all these years. The kids have grown up to be beautiful adults and now Mr. and Mrs. B are grandparents (the best thing as I’ve heard from my own parents time and time again).

Of course since I DID know them when I was little, Mrs. B had to share some stories about me when I was little. Let’s just say I wasn’t the easiest, sweetest child there was.  😉

To the B family, I’m so grateful that you asked me to do your portraits. I love you guys and I hope you enjoy your preview!!!

their “formal” pic.

these made my toes wiggle

(as my dear sister would say)

perfect.

“daddy and me”

is she not the cutest little girl you’ve ever seen??

I squealed after seeing this darling face. She’s a photographer’s dream child.

She actually sat down for a little bit for me to capture these images. Of course we did have to make a few animal sounds to get those smiles, but shhhh, don’t tell anyone my secrets. 😉

big family hug.
