~4~

Meet my little buddy.  He’s about to turn four and couldn’t be more excited.  I wish I could be four again where your biggest concern is snack time and playtime.  Aw, the good life.

As a parent, four is such a challenging age for us.  Consciously, you know that your child is no longer a baby anymore, but in your heart they’ll always be your baby.  It’s exciting, yet bittersweet to see them turning into “big kids.”  I speak from experience;  I’m the type of mom who cried for two weeks when her first born started kindergarten and still cries every time they have a birthday.  I always feel like I’m on borrowed time - waiting for them to just spread their wings and fly.

And although we wish we could stop the hands of time and keep them little bitty forever; the beautiful thing is we can capture these types of moments and keep them as treasures forever.  One day we can look back at all the images of our babies and remember the times that were.  But in the meantime, seeing how big they’re getting is also a great reminder to slow down and enjoy all that raising children can bring.

Happy Birthday, My Little Buddy.  Slow down the aging process, will ya?  ;-)

~Happy Anniversary~

This is one of the most “in love” couples I know.  They’ve been together since high school and recently celebrated another anniversary–half their lives they’ve been together.  Wow.  Nonetheless, they still dote on each other like they were still dating–smooching here & there, hugging, just loving on each other.  In this day & age, where relationships come and go, I think it deserves much recognition and celebration for those couples who are able to weather the storms.  Happy Anniverary! May you celebrate many, many, many more.

~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?

~Angel Baby~

I spent some time this afternoon with the sweetest angel baby.  She has the most calm and gentle demeanor - what a blessing!  She was pure sweetness and made my job super-easy. :-) 

She recently turned one, so Mom and Dad wanted to commemorate the milestone with a Glimpse of Soul session.   It’s a big occasion; one minute they’re turning 1, next minute they’re turning 5, and so on.  That’s what I love about photography; you get to capture a moment in time, so that it’s more than just a memory.  As parents, we wish we could freeze time.  With each year that passes, we ask ourselves, “where did the time go?”  It goes and it goes fast.  But if we slow down and savor these sweet moments and milestones, we can look back at our photographs and retrieve our memories of all the blessings along the way.   My goal and intention with my photography is to capture fleeting moments in time, so when clients look back they can remember how much their children have changed and yet how they remain the same.   

Mom and Dad, thank you for the opportunity to capture a glimpse of your angel baby’s sweet nature.  It was a pleasure and  I wish you many more years of happiness, smiles, and sweetness from watching her grow.

~Playtime~

For children, playtime is the best time of the day.  Even when they’re in school, if you ask them to name their favorite class, they will mostly likely say, “recess!”  It’s because children are born with an incredible amount of energy.  They jump out of their beds, ready to take on the world, ready to explore it, ready to go I wish I still had that kind of energy.

This morning I spent time with these adorable, energetic boys.  They were some of the “toughest and roughest” little guys I’ve ever met.     Mom was awesome: cool, calm, and collected; the perfect match for her beautiful, energetic sons.

Thank you for allowing me to spend time with all of you this morning.  It was truly a joy!

We Are Family!

Katy has had a lot of gray weather lately!  I was so happy to see the sun come out recently.  It’s been a LONG winter!  I grew up in IL where overcast tends to be the norm, but after living in TX for 17 plus years, I consider myself a sunshine girl! 

I’m excited about all the Spring Sessions coming up.  You’re going to be seeing a lot of new Soul Searchers as well as some loyal return Soul Searchers.  I appreciate all of you!

I started my Spring Season with a  family that is near & dear to my heart.  They are New Yorkers who now call the Lone Star state their home.  No matter where they live, family always comes first for them, so it was my delight to capture all the love between them.

Don’t these girls just make you giggle with glee?

Peace, Love, Joy & Abundance!!!

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!

Happiest Baby in Town

This baby has to be the happiest baby in town.  From the moment I walked in this little guy was all smiles.  Mom and Dad did a great job keeping him smiling and giggling.  Their baby’s joy is equally matched by theirs.  Seeing this young couple with their first baby took me back to when my son was first born eight years ago.  I was reminded of the excitement that parents have witnessing and celebrating their baby’s milestones like rolling over, sitting up, their first tooth.  It’s such a precious fleeting time.  Continue cherishing the moments, Mom and Dad, and thank you for allowing me to help capture some of them.

Party of Five

I love this family.  I first met them back at the beginning of the year when Mom hired me to photograph her two beautiful children.  She had recently found out that she was expecting a third and said she’d call me when baby sister was born.  To my delight, I got to meet the newest addition to the family today.  Big Brother and Big Sister are so excited about their new baby sister.  How could they not be?  She has to be one of the sweetest, most calm babies I’ve ever met!  If my babies would have been that calm, I’d probably have at least five by now!  Mom, who looks absolutely spectacular, and Dad are overjoyed with their sweet little bundle of sugar who has turned this family into a party of five.   What a privilege to help welcome baby girl into this world.  Mom and Dad, may your family continue to be blessed with such wonder for years to come!

Peace, Love, Joy & Abundance
