mr. serious | dallas baby photographer

oh this cutie!!  mr. serious.  but not really…he opened up and gave us some giggles.  I think with his parents being so brilliant that he’s picked up their smarts and likes to observe and take everything in.  they were every bit as sweet as I remember them…impossible that THIS was 6 months ago.  the first picture in this post is sort of a re-creation of a newborn image (but he was a little big to fit in the bucket this time!!)  so thankful we did their session in and around their home – I looove the pics of them on the bed…wish I could share them all, but you’d be here for forever.  and I can’t leave big brother out – made sure to get a few ‘beauty’ shots!  they’ll be back on his 1st birthday!!

the way I view friendship | dallas children’s photographer

CMpro blog circle time!!  you can see last month’s post here.

April’s theme was all about friendship.  oh gosh, what to photograph!?  really my friends are just the best…laugh-so-hard-til-we-cry kinda people + call-anytime-with-anything-love-me-no-matter-what people too.  and as the years have passed, I’ve been so lucky to form some very close friendships with girls that will FOREVER be in my life.  my ‘dirty dozen’ from high school (who I get to see this month!!!) and more recently my photographer friends are some of the best people I’ve ever known.  I can’t leave out my sister in laws, past teaching-life ladies (you know who you are!)…supper club…and fellow mommies that I trust so much.

oh and this GORGEOUS girl’s mama?  yep, her.  I love E with all my heart.  she just gets it, gets me.  we used to see each other almost daily, but having five kids between the two of us has taken it’s toll.  but it doesn’t matter…I can text or even just send her a telepathic message and we’re back.

miss B just turned 3…and we celebrated with some backyard snapshots + confetti eggs!…I even bought her a fun dress (the orangey one…yay girl clothes!!)  B loves headbands, giggling, and cupcakes:)and even better?  she loves my Andrew…they have a friendship that only 3 year olds can know and I’m so excited to watch them grow up together.  does she not have the best hair EVER?  not to mention, those amazing blue eyes.  yes, these are pictures of love and I also hope my dear friends from all over know just how much they mean to me!!  xoxoxo

make sure you stop over to my sweet FRIEND Jodi Arego’s blog and see what she has up this month, then make the circle!!!

rainy day | dallas newborn photographer

oh the rain!!  it was SO DARK on my way out to their house…I was praying the entire way that the clouds would part (and it took me awhile to get there…)  the rain stayed.  our best option for light was their bedroom.  we hung out there for hours…pretty sure they were tired of me telling them to get closer to the window.  closer!!  but it worked out and I’m so happy that we got some sweet shots of this seriously GORGEOUS baby girl…and look at her hair!!  takes after her pretty mama.  loved how happy and alert she was before I left.  I’m thrilled for this family – always a joy to be around them.

and just so you know…halfway back to my house I got a flat tire…and was stuck on I-30 with a lovely view of six flags.  yes, in the rain.  I’m so thankful for the protective police officer and tow truck man that changed the tire and sent me on my way safely.  what a looooong rainy day…totally worth it!!

recreate | dallas baby photographer

I left one out of my last daily project post because I had more to share!  almost 2 years ago we were so lucky to have family pictures taken by Michele Anderson of Pinkle Toes Photography.  it’s no secret how amazing I think she is as a photographer and person.  anyway, I wanted to put Tyler in this little onesie since he’s the exact age that his brother was back then and I even had my bracelet that Andrew was chewing on for the original shot (and it broke during my attempt…)  I headed outside to snap a few pictures…planning on doing them just up our street but Max suggested we go on a walk instead!  I shoved my camera gear under the stroller and it just so happens that we turned the corner and poof!  we were in a parking lot with beautiful light…much like THIS SHOT that Michele took.  so random and it made my heart happy.  now, getting him to stand still was another story…ugh, it’s hard these days;) my boys are so different…Ty fills out the onesie a little more than his brother did. ha!

the last one makes me giggle…little man on a mission!
