~A Day in the Life of You~

Being “real” and capturing the essence of people is what I’m all about.  I love that I am able to  journal a moment in time for them.  My latest project is what I call, “A Day in the Life of You.” It’s a service I will now be offering that captures those real moments that happen everyday but we often take for granted–moments like the kiddos rushing to the door to greet Daddy, the kiddos playing with their toys and, well…just being kids!  How about Mom & Dad making dinner together?  Doesn’t happen at my house, but when your husband is a chef you get certain perks.

Today, I had the privilege to spend a day in the life of this beautiful family.  A family that has gone through huge ups & downs-challenges that most people will never face.  Yet, as Mom put it, “through the power of prayer,” and commitment to family they made it through.  Isn’t that what family is all about?  At the end of your life, when all is said and done, you probably won’t say, “Geesh, I wish I would have spent more time at the office; or if I could go shopping for that great outfit one more time.”  It will most likely be, “I wish I had more time with my loved ones.”  Relish those moments while they last.

May your family continue to be blessed and may your family bond continue to strengthen.  But most of all, thank you for allowing me to capture a Glimpse of your family’s Soul.

~Awesome Wonder - Part 2~

Last time I tried to photograph this gorgeous cutie pie, the weather did not cooperate.  So, we decided an at-home session would be better and she could be in her own environment.  Flash forward a few weeks and we  practically have a monsoon in Houston–attempt #2, no go.  So, can you imagine how pleased we were today when the day was as gorgeous as can be and beautiful natural light was flowing throughout the house? 

I got to see my little friend for the third time.  She is still one of the spunkiest, most curious, and energetic baby girls I have ever met.  She reminds me a lot of my own children.  She is the the perfect combination of sweet and sass.

Mom is now expecting baby # 2 and I’m sure that Big Sister will be AWESOME with the new baby.  In fact, I know she will. 

May all of you continue to be blessed with a happy, healthy family.  What else can one ask for, right?

~Sweet As Sugar~

I spent the morning with the sweetest little girl–petite, shy, and all sugar.   There’s just a sweetness to little girls that is almost tangible.  I learned this after having my daughter.  They bring this certain energy to a home that, truly, only a girl can bring.  I understand the “sugar and spice and everything nice saying,” now.  That’s not to say that boys are sweet and wonderful and amazing; I have two of them!  They’re just different but, needless to say, each of them bring something different to a family.  But, the sweetness of a little girl is what makes those big tough daddys’ melt and tear up when they think of their baby girls.

The way I met this baby girl’s mother is through an addiction of mine.  Yes, I admit it…my name is Eliza and I am a cupcake/cake addict.  A friend of mine referred me to her, so I asked if she would make my daughter’s birthday cake last December.  I have been HOOKED ever since.  She does beautiful work (truly an artist) and her creations taste just as wonderful as they look.  You should really check her out; her name is Candice and this is her site:  www.cakeiteasybakery.blogspot.com .   Shoot her an email and learn about her taste-testing party coming up next month; you’ll definetely want to be there! Oh, and tell her Eliza sent ya.  ;-)

In the end, I learned today that not only does Candice make the sweetest of cake creations; she makes the sweetest of baby girl creations.  Keep up the great work, Lady.

{This is What Motherhood Looks Like}

You may recognize this gorgeous women from last summer.  Mom had booked me for a mini-session to photograph her beautiful daughter.  I was so excited when she called me back this time to book a full session for her whole family!  I had the opportunity to meet her handsome son this time too.

The whole family is a lot of fun.  There is a beautiful dynamic between Big Brother and Baby Sister and you can see the pride in mom’s face when she looks at her babies.  I chuckled at the way that baby girl wants to be a model and would direct ME!  :-)  Then I’d peek and see Mom joking around with her son.  You can also tell how much her boyfriend loves his beautiful woman and the awesome kiddos.  Overall, it was a wonderful afternoon.  Thank you, Mom, for allowing me to capture such beautiful images of all of you again.

And I can’t stop without asking, “Does she make motherhood look GORGEOUS?!?”

Keep doing your thing, Mama!

Ray of Light

There is something so magical about the sweetness that baby girls bring to families.  From their big innocent stares to the sweet way they say, “I love you, Mommy.  I love you, Daddy.”  It’s tough not to fall head over heels for them.  What a blessing to have a little girl!  Mom and Dad are head over heels over this gorgeous ray of light that brings so much sunshine to their lives.  Wouldn’t you to be too?  Thank you for the opportunity to capture those beautiful soulful eyes.

Peace, Love, Joy & Abundance!

Like Gorgeous Mother, Like Gorgeous Daughter

The bond between a mother and a daughter is so special.  Mothers have a way of bringing the best and worst out in us, don’t they?  I can speak from experience because I am a daughter and a mother to a daughter. 

I had the pleasure of photographing this gorgeous mother/daughter combo.  Mom looks like she stepped right off a runway and her daughter looks like she is well on her way!  What a delight to capture the beautiful bond between these two lovely ladies.

Peace, Love, Joy & Abundance!

No Sibling Rivalry Here (Katy Children’s Photographer)

You may recognize the handsome little dude in these images.  His Mom asked me to take some baseball pictures of him a few months back.  Well, this time it was baby sister’s turn to get in on the fun!  Aren’t they the cutest little pair of siblings?  Gotta love it.

Soulful Urban (Katy, Houston Family Photographer)

I was SO excited to do this shoot.  Mom originally hired me to photograph her daughter who recently turned 15 but then ended up booking a session for all her gorgeous kiddos. I’m so glad she did.  I was even more excited when I threw out the idea of an urban shoot in Downtown Houston because she was just as eager as I was to have it done there. 

This family has to be the most fun, united, genuinely loving family I’ve ever met.  They have so much fun together joking around, making each other laugh.  They really kept me smiling.  The kiddos were great despite the Houston heat.  Thanks again for being such great sports.  And, Mom, thanks for trusting me to capture some fun shots of your beautiful family.

Peace, Love, Joy & Abundance!
