Dressin' Up With Mommy

I had the cutest shoot the other day. Mama wanted to do a "dress up" shoot with her daughter inside the house since it's been so hot outside. They took turns putting make-up on each other in her super cute bathroom, played patty cake in the tub (yes, they were fully dressed people!), put on all sorts of glamorous jewelry and then put on some of mama's high heels. The whole shoot was very girly and very fun. Plus, they are so dang cute together...aren't they?

Daddy & Daughter

I had the great pleasure of doing a Daddy and daughter photo shoot. These don't happen very often but when they do I have to say that it's absolutely adorable. It's always so fun to see how the dads interact with their little girls. These two were so cute. She was hammin' it up during the shoot and Dad just got so tickled watching her. Since she just turned 2 years old, she was moving and shaking during the whole shoot. Sometimes I would need to get her attention so I used my ever faithful "duck quacker" to get her attention and she set me straight. From the first time I quacked the quacker she turned around and looked at me, then she walked over to me and yanked the quacker out of my mouth and said, "NO!" I did continue to use it through out the shoot only when I needed to get her attention but every time she gave me a big, "NO!" :)

There's A Party Going On Round Here...

This was such a fun shoot! One mom bought my "Popsicle Party" at a silent auction and then asked if we could include all the kids on their culdesac. Every Sunday in the summer, they all get together at the neighbors pool and cook out and let the kids swim. So, this was such a great way for them to document their summer gettogethers with some fun photos. I love how it looks like such a party and their all having fun. I wish I could post all the photos but I can't so here's a few to view.

Colorful Summers in Texas

We decided to keep this shoot simple and close to home so they wouldn't have to rush out the door super early on a Saturday. They have a huge backyard with lots of trees so we decided to just keep it relaxed in the back yard. I took my colorful tires over so the kids could play around on them and it could add some color to the pics. The kids were so cute and hopefully they had a little bit of fun b/c I sure did!

Miami Heat Meets Texas Summer Fun!

Before I left for the beach, I had a "Popsicle Party" session at the Flahertys. We had so much fun planning this out. Mary worked really hard on getting her fantastic backyard whipped into shape with all the great plants and colorful accessories. The kids looked so cute in their suits and cover ups and they just had a ball swimming, playing and eating popsicles. This shoot is definitely awarded the "Kid's Choice" Award! See for yourself how much fun they had!

My Parents Bought A Beach Cottage!!!

For all you who know me, know how much I love going down to the beach. My first choice is the Caribbean but gosh darn it the Redneck Riviera has grown on me. I truly love going down to Port Aransas and kickin' it on the beach. Well, my parents have been casually looking for a property when they'd come down and visit. This time my Mom came ready to buy with her wallet in hand. We found them this adorable, brand new beach cottage down in Port A. Yes, for those of you who like my beach sessions..well, I have great news...there will be plenty more of those now!

Beach Bound!!!

I will be down in Port Aransas, TX doing beach shoots this week. There are still some openings so email me if you're going to be down there and want some fun family beach pics! I'll be returning to work on Monday, June 20th, 2011. And, no this is not a beach shot from Port A. ...out islands of the Bahamas!
