These are from a few weeks ago at Herman Park in Houston since I seem to be at least a few weeks behind on all my editing thanks to our upcoming move across the country I will just keep posting as I get them done!

This family was the most fun to photograph a few weeks ago at Bear Creek Park. There were ten people which included three generations! It was such an honor to try to capture some moments for them while they had everyone here in town together.

Just thought I would share a few more in the gorgeous Texas bluebonnets…

Headed out last week in search of some bluebonnets and found this great patch of them that was perfect for photos (plus a few other wildflowers that unfortunately I can’t identify)!

Met up with these two cuties (and their mom of course since they aren’t old enough to drive yet…) at the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. Wow, what a place. If you haven’t been there yet and you are close enough then I highly suggest it! Super gorgeous gardens which allowed me to get some wonderful portraits of these sisters!

So, as soon as I saw this shirt I just knew that I had to have it. I was already meeting up for a photo session at the Dallas Arboretum on Saturday so I asked the seller to ship it priority so that I would have it in time for G to wear! Here he is looking as cute as ever (just my opinion of course)!
**click here to see the Etsy store where I found it….along with a nice seller who sent it fast**

I am so glad that I had the chance to photograph this beautiful baby girl today and even though I have only edited a few photos I wanted to go ahead with a little sneak peek! Her big brother came and joined us for a bit…he worked well for the Easter candy he was offered…

One of the reasons I have fallen in love with photography is that with a camera in your hand you have the chance to capture all those everyday moments and freeze time. At every stage my son has gone through I have thought that I would remember those funny things he said or did forever but as he grows I find myself realizing that you do forget many of the small things. The big formal family portraits that can be framed in huge canvas sizes are great but there is something to be said about capturing the everyday too.

These are from last week one day after school with full on sunshine going as my wonderful lighting (read as sarcasm since full on sunlight is way harsh for portraits). Great way to practice exposure (not blowing out the whites), spot metering (not blowing out the whites), and avoiding the dreaded shadows under the eyes (all while not blowing out the whites). As you can see (or maybe, hopefully they aren’t too noticeable) I did blow out some of the whites in this first photo but since it is of my son in the backyard it is still precious to me. And I love the way his eyelashes caught the light. Now that we are into the longer days and springtime weather I am looking forward to more chances to practice getting that perfect exposure straight out of the camera.
In this photo he had climbed under the slide which would have been the perfect place for me to practice spot metering for exposure if he wasn’t such a fast moving just turned four years old kid. I think I caught a cute expression and figured that at least the grandparents reading this post (you are reading this, right?) would appreciate it!
Then last but for sure not least here is a portrait of both my guys…

Like that really long post title? I just had to grab my camera yesterday when I saw these two adorable sisters dressed alike and snap a few photos. So, these are waaaay more like snapshots with the driveway as the backdrop but when I saw the little one’s eyes just glowing straight out of the camera I just couldn’t help but post them here anyway!
