Thanks to the Medlock family for coming out this past weekend for our Holiday Mini Portraits at Penn Farms in Cedar Hill State Park.  Tonja is a fellow photographer and it is always an awesome feeling to have another pro in front of my camera.  I know how hard it is to let go and let some one else take the pictures and Tonja did a great job.  It really doesn’t hurt that her kids are so darn cute!  I mean, look at them.  Complete cuteness.  I think I may steal them (especially those girls with those beautiful blue eyes and blond long hair!)

Alisia and Brian are getting married this coming year and I was so excited to meet them over the weekend for a mini engagement session.  They are having a fabulous wedding coordinated by my friend, Sarabeth Events, so I know it is going to be awesome!  Alisia is a pharmacist and Brian is a physical therapist and although in the same field (technically) they are different in many ways and compliment one another perfectly.  Thanks so much guys for trusting me to photograph your engagements and I can’t wait to get to know you more!

I am always excited to see the Murphy’s!  I have gotten to follow this crew from marriage to twin little babes to now some very big 2 year olds!  Eden and Finley are perfect in every way and SO 2 that I am proud of these parents for keeping up with such energetic kiddo’s.  2 is a magical age (I really mean it) because they grow so much in their understanding.  I have loved 2 with my son Alex and I know this family has a great year in store for them.  Thanks for trusting me again to capture your little ones and your changing lives.  Love you guys!

Kim and Andy were married a few years ago and had their wedding photographed by Sarah Rizy.  I was excited to get to know them more and work with them for a mini session over the weekend for some updated portraits.  I love these two’s laid back spirit’s and complete sweetness on one another.  Always good to see couples continuing to act like newlyweds!  Thanks guys for continuing to trust us to capture your lives!  We so enjoy you!

I first met Katie a few years ago at her dear friends wedding, Tiffany & Matt.  I was thrilled when a spot opened up first thing Saturday morning and Katie jumped on it!  Her and Andrew are totally in love and their pup was adorable.  I had a great time getting to know them better and I hope that we can hang out again some time soon.  Thanks guys!

This past weekend I had the time of my life photographing 8 families and this precious bunch is my first to share!  I was thrilled to have Alex and Garrison back in front of my camera with their precious little boy Brady.  He was a doll and laughed and smiled at some very silly sounds.  I am so excited for this couple and it was so cool to see how their life has changed since their wedding a few years ago.  You two make great parents and made a VERY cute kid, my whole team was drooling over him while we were editing his images.  :)

These are two little girls who LOVE SANTA and are definitely decked out and ready for the holidays!  I had the privilege of meeting Ms. Kennedy a few weeks ago and was excited to meet big sister Reagan at their family session.  She was a ham and a half and she definitely stole my heart during their session.  She is a great BIG sister and I can tell she likes having Kennedy around.  The best part of their family session was definitely when we had the girls loving on the dogs and Kennedy went for her puppies ear (put in completely in her mouth!) and Reagan squeezed on her neck.  Adorable!

I was so excited to meet the Medina Family as in the past they have always worked with one of my other photographers.  I loved them and their super rambunctious little man!Oh to be 2 and have that energy (well, during sessions sometimes I seem to have it but it wears out after I am done.)  Thanks guys for spending some time with me and letting me play.

The Watson family were great subjects and super easy to work with.  I mean, look at these gorgeous girls!  It is always fun to work with little ones (They are super cute) but I really take so much satisfaction in photographing teenagers.  It is especially nice when two sisters are as sweet as these two were.  Thanks for allowing me to spend some time with you and I hope to again soon!

I met Janel and Samuel up at the Fort Worth Botanic Gardens for their engagement photos which is where they also had their first date this year. om April 1. Janel admitted she did worry for a minute that it was a joke but it was not and now Janel and Samuel are getting married next month. For the first part of their session they included Samuel’s children Chris & Natalia. I love that they included them as they are becoming a new family. Afterwards we went to the stockyards and concluded by watching the daily cattle drive. Here are some of my favorites from their Fort Worth engagement session.
