Loved how these pictures turned out. We had so much fun at Riverside Golf Course.

This is the Rabon Family

And this is the newest member. Is she NOT the most gorgeous child?!?

Lori Rabon is the owner of Bonjour Boutique (which just happens to be where my new studio is located). If you like the fabulous outfits on the women in this picture, you should check out Bonjour! It is located on E. Concho next door to Eggemeyers!

It was so exciting to be able to take Tenley’s pictures since I got to do her mommy’s maternity.

She looked just like a babydoll, with the sweetest little cheeks!

Had so much fun taking the Wilson family photos,

and the girls were so cute!

This family wanted to bring their dog along for their session.  I loved her!  Pets are a big part of our family so if you have a beloved pet that is part of yours, (and you think it will behave), bring it along. 

This is my beautiful friend and her sweet daughter.  I met them when I did Ariel’s first pictures.

They have been awesome and loyal customers.  I’d like to think its because they love my work but the real reason is this mom doesn’t want to miss a thing! 

Some people are just born to be mothers and she is one of them!

What a perfect and wonderful day, and what a perfect and wonderful family! I wanted to pack these two bundles of love up and bring them home but their parents wanted to keep them, darn it. I went out to their place near Miles. (Have I ever said that I LOVE it when a family does portraits on their own place?) Well if not, I do! It makes it more meaningful! Anyway, first we took THIS picture which is one of my favorite pictures I have taken EVER!

Then we went down by the river and we took This picture…..AMAZING!

Next I got a shot of Big Brother and his favorite friend “Manny” This child is sweetness personified. I loved him.

Little brother would not sit still so we thought it might be cute to let the boys throw rocks in the river. That was our first mistake. Poor little brother promptly fell face first right into the river. He came up crying and spitting mud and water. I don’t have any pictures of that because I was too busy jumping in to save his life. (ok so this might be a tiny exaggeration) His momma and daddy were right there close so they did it but I did have quite a scare! Most parents would have FREAKED out but they didn’t .They were so laid back and cool about the whole thing and were even able to laugh about it.

So we made a plan for Mom to go get some more clothes. It took a LOOOONNNGGGG TIME. While she was gone I had a lot of time to take pictures of naked little brother. OMG kill me he is so cute! The socks!!!!

So finally Mom made it back and we redressed and took a few more pictures. We were running out of light so we called it a day. As a bonus I got to schedule a retake so I can take more pictures later of these adorable boys. We won’t be going to the river.

If you look at my slideshow at the top of the blog you will see the SECOND session I did with the Kennedy Family!  This year’s session is below and MY HOW THOSE BABIES HAVE GROWN!  I am so thankful for my repeat clients and for getting the chance to capture their kids as they change and lightning speed.  Precious family!

I have been wanting to do this for awhile.  It is great fun at parties, wedding receptions etc.  FINALLY I got to do it at the Lane’s annual Halloween bash.  This is going to be something I start offering more of.  I just wanted some examples to post before I started advertising it.  

Want a strike-a-pose booth for YOUR next party?  Give me a call!!!

Suzanne and Chance had a fabulous wedding.  Their reception was at SAC and we had some time to go down and take a couple shots and it was just gorgeous.

When I do a wedding these are the types of images that to me, are the most important.  The pictures of the bride and groom together are the ones that will be hanging in their house forever.  Sometimes it is a bit of a time crunch to get them done but it is well worth it in the end as you can see here.

Suzanne and Chance are the sweetest couple.  I am sad that they are moving away from San Angelo cause I wanted to take pictures of their babies someday.
