LaRae Russell Photography

This is Hannah and her gorgeous family.  Hannah is the owner of Xtreme Fitness Bootcamp and she is amazing!  She is one of the most motivating people I have ever met.  Not only does she run a sucessful business, but she is sooooooo fit and still manages to be Mommy to these two little cuties.  I think it is so cute how Hannah and her husband almost look alike….they really “match!”

Cayla and Jerrod’s wedding was this weekend….so I can FINALLY post some of her awesome bridals.  The day of Cayla’s bridal shoot, there were fires everywhere.  Smoke filled the sky and there was ash coming down like rain.  I was so afraid that we would have to cancel but we decided at the last minute to go out to Christoval where it wasn’t bad.  Everything turned out perfectly.  Cayla is sooooo gorgeous!  We had so much fun and I didn’t want to quit shooting because all of her pictures were amazing!

I got to shoot baby Harper’s first photos in studio!  She has some gorgeous siblings too so looking forward to doing the whole family in the future!  Sweet, sweet, baby!!

I love this family!  The Young children are so beautiful and so well behaved….but they are so stinking fun!….I laughed at them till my sides hurt.

This is Wyatt.  You might have seen him on the cover of the March issue of San Angelo Family Magazine.  He was perfect and I was so proud of him!  He made my job super easy and this is one of my favorite pictures maybe ever.  His sisters came with him for the shoot and everyone ended up playing in the river when we were done!

This is sweet little Steely Ray.  Cutest cheeks EVER!  She is just a bundle of sweet little baby girl love!

And the oldest is Chloe!  She is so pretty and so intelligent!  She told me all about her teachers and school.  She had come from gymnastics and wanted to jump in the river and play too!  Chloe’s dad is going to have to start carrying a BIG stick in the next few years!

Many thanks to the Young’s for letting me borrow Wyatt for my magazine cover but also for letting us share in an afternoon of fun with their awesome kiddos.  If you need a babysitter just call!

I met with this beautiful mom and daughter pair recently to take some photos. We had fun changing outfits and doing some studio shots then out to the wildflowers for some mommy-and-me.  The boys in the family opted not to participate in the photos but I thought it was kind of a neat thing for a mom and daughter to do together anyway!  Almost all little girls (and big girls) enjoy getting their picture taken and being made to feel like a super-model for the day!  

Look at these beautiful babies times two!  This was my first set of twins to photograph and it was so awesome!  I wanted to take one of them home since they could spare one.  

Kiley is a senior at Christoval High School.  I have watched her grow up and can’t believe she is grown already!  She has a really special relationship with her brother, Kalen, and wanted him  (and their mom) to join in some of her pictures.  (awwwwww!)  :)

This is Justice.  He is about to have his first communion and he is wearing his first suit!  What a sweetie!

This gorgeous girl is a senior at Christoval High School.  She is the valedictorian and is headed to Baylor to study medicine.  I loved her sweet personality and had a blast taking her pictures!
