Best of all, they were so NICE! By the end of our session, I felt like I had known them for a lot longer than the one hour that we spent together!

Chemistry :)
I always love spending time around couples whose feelings for each other are clearly evident. This couple was sent to me by a referral (thanks, Stacy!), and I was excited to meet them. Their story about how they remet online after first meeting each other years ago made their eyes sparkle with excitement about what the future brings.

I LOVE Family Photos!
This past weekend, I had the pleasure of taking photos of a family that we've known for awhile...all the way back to Minot, North Dakota!
It's crazy how fast time flies. I remember seeing their little girl in a Baby Bjorn when she was maybe 4 months old one October years back. Now she's a little lady! Their son was born a month ahead of our oldest daughter, and now these two seem to FLIRT with one another! Wow.
As fate would have it, we ended up being stationed a little over three hours away from each other while here in Texas. So, because I'm getting close to having our new baby, I wanted to spend some time with our friends before I was put on um, lockdown, after having baby number four.
I am so glad that we got to catch up with this family, and I am even more happy that I was able to spend some time capturing special moments for them! Enjoy!

Sweet Sisters!
There is nothing that matches the love that sisters have for each other.
Giggles and grins ended up being the theme of this Spring Mini Session. Each of these girls have such unique personalities that, when combined with fun spring-themed props and Goldfish crackers, each pose ended up resulting in lots of laughter from both the kids and the adults.
This shoot was not origially planned to take part at the park that I ended up shooting in (also Clear Lake Park, but a completely different part of it than the other Mini's took place in). When we got there, the original park was PACKED with patrons, and so we had to wing it. So we did!
I am personally so glad that we switched parks because the amended location worked GREAT for the kids! We had a lot more open space to work with, and the shorter docks allowed for me to be able to take photos of the kids right on the water (which would have been a little beyond our comfort area with the other side of Clear Lake Park).
My favorite aspect of this session was seeing how much these sisters really enjoyed being with each other. The older sisters were so gentle with their baby sister, and each of the kids just wanted to have fun for the short time we had together. Plus, each of them are BEAUTIFUL!
Each of the girls shined through the session, and I am so grateful that they allowed me to capture some of their special moments today.

Randi and Zane...Engaged!
Being a primarily family and childrens' photographer, I will sometimes jump at opportunities to expand my boundaries as a photographer. During this year's Spring Mini Sessions, I was able to do that with a great engagement session!
Randi and Zane are a very, very sweet (and beautiful!) couple. Both of them are from Texas, and both had a very laid-back approach to the shoot, which made it a lot of fun for all of us! The park that we did the Mini's at was Clear Lake Park in Clear Lake City, Texas, and it had a lot of great archways and one amazing dock that we were able to have almost full access to for most of the shoot.
Randi and Zane are getting married next June, and based on the way Randi beamed when she showed me the ring that Zane designed, that day can't come soon enough. The love that these two have for one another was evident througout the whole session, and I can only imagine how much stronger those feelings will grow as they marry and start their lives together.
Congratulations, Randi and Zane! I wish you only the best as you start your journey in life
