Happy Thanksgiving

I’m thankful for many things – cooperative kids and a tripod are near the top of my list for this shot in particular! I’m grateful for my family, my friends, my animals, the yummy food we put in our tummies – and for my hubby who cooked most all of it – he did NOT marry me for my culinary skills.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!

Itty Bits and Pieces

Sneak peek of Baby B…


This little guy is just five weeks old, and I can’t get enough of all his sweet little bits and pieces!!! Just wait until you get to see his eyes, and his adorable Big Brother!

More to come…

Fall Foursome


Anyone who knows me probably knows I’m a sucker for sentiment, tradition and making sure I chronicle my children’s lives. The shot above is an annual tradition – I took a similar shot of these four in the grass during the fall of 2005 for my first online photo class with Jeff Wignall.

One of the most special relationships we have in our family is that of our next door neighbor’s and close friends. When we moved into our house, they were still in the process of building theirs. The girls met when they were 2, closing in on three years old. KB and I were both pregnant at the time with our boys. The boys have literally known each other since birth and are the very best of friends. In fact, my son is busily eating them out of house and home right at this very moment. Pretty soon, they might start asking me to chip in on the grocery bills.

The girls are much like sisters it seems. They love each other, will hopefully always look out for each other, and yet they can drive each other nuts.
My life and the lives of my children are so much richer for this true and lasting friendship. I love all four of these babies like they are my own! It’s my hope they will stay close and treasure the friendships all their lives.

6 Months Already


Just a quick sneak peek at sweet little Natalie! She’s so adorably cute and full of smiles – it was hard not to just scoop her up and love on her rather than take her pictures. It’s babies like her that make think I need another one, then I remember diapers and say, oh yes, I think I’ll leave the hard part of the job to others. Meanwhile, I will just enjoy cooing at them, playing with them and taking pictures of their scrumptious little mugs!!

I will say though, it does break my heart that my “babies” aren’t this little and cuddly anymore.
Big Smiles!!!

I love my job! I get to take beautiful pictures of fabulous people. It’s amazing what you can see in someone’s eyes.
Now, if I could just get caught up with everything. Editing, editing, editing!!!
Smiles to all!

Big Brown Eyes

Oh my – the big brown eyes on these two! If my kids had those brown eyes, I’d be defenseless! When big brown eyes pout at me, I puddle. It was a beautiful sunny fall day in Texas, and a fun afternoon to go out and take pictures. So many gorgeous pictures just waiting for me to edit them!

Smiles to all!!!

Not Funny Mom


Oreo is definitely a tolerant kitty cat. Butter would NEVER allow this to happen to her. And, I think I’ve finally figured out how to keep Oreo out of my studio. He usually tries to sneak in, but he may not be so willing in the future! Happy Halloween!!!

A Full House




Okay Cindy… there are so many more pics to come, so keep checking your gallery, but this is just a sneak peek to let you know how excited I am about all the rest of the images too! Your family and your home are amazing and I’m thrilled you let me come be a part of your history.

Talk about a full and busy house!

This family of six (Mom and Dad not shown yet and I’m not even counting the animals) have something in common besides the whole related thing – they all have amazing eyes! I had a couple of tough customers – and getting them to relax for the camera took some doing, but eventually, I think we coaxed them all out. No matter what – they are a beautiful and loving group. The kids range in age from 10.5 to nearly 15 (shown in order from oldest to youngest) and all I can say is Mama and Daddy have their hands full. Just in case, I’m going to go ahead and look Miss Katiebug up until she’s 30 – because I can see the future and it’s far too cute!!!
