Announcing: Holiday Mini Sessions

Get your family portraits and Christmas cards out of the way in just a half-hour at the beautiful Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in Plano.

Baby Alex

After posing beautifully in his parent's maternity portraits, Alex made his grand entrance into the world, and we decided it was necessary to torture him with photos outside of the womb as well. I think he did a pretty good job!

Is there anything cuter than baby toes?

 Get used to it kiddo--they aren't going to stop anytime soon!

Future heartbreaker:

Christina's Graduating!

Christina's senior pictures were taken on the beach in Destin, FL...last summer! Now it's warming up outside and Christina is getting ready to graduate--enjoy these beachtastic photos!

Laurie + Brad + (Alex)

When I took these photos for my friend Laurie, I promised I would get them up before Alex arrived! As it turns out, Alex has already made his way into the world, and I have pictures of him waiting to be posted too! Time to get on it...

For this maternity session, we headed out to Arcadia, Oklahoma, just northwest of Oklahoma City. We started at Pops, where we grabbed some lunch and a few shots before the crowds descended on the small funky gas station on old Route 66. If you've never been, I highly suggest you go--your travels will be rewarded with an ENTIRE WALL of unique and delicious sodas to choose from. In fact, I made another stop on the way home to pick up a 6-pack of delicious Sonoma Sparklers and Orangina (my two favorites) and saw Laurie and Brad doing the same!

After Pops, we drove 1/2 mile down the road to the Round Barn, another Route 66 landmark. We were a little disappointed at first, but inside was some wonderful light that produced some of my favorite pictures of the day.

And finally, we got out the balloons...

The Schott Family

On a windy January day, I headed out to meet the Schotts for some family photos. Tom and Susan had managed to assemble their three children and two grandchildren from Florida and Oklahoma, so I was lucky enough to capture three generations!

 

 Now this is impressive--how often can you get a big brother to do this?

  

The highly anticipated "Lunge Pose"

  

I love these two!

  

  

  

  

  

I'm pretty sure Susan is Paula Deen's long-lost Louisiana-born twin.  She confirmed the theory when she invited me in for some homemade gumbo!

  

I told you!

 

Baby Isabella

This gorgeous little one is Isabella at about 6 weeks old. My goodness the girl has hair! I'd put her up there with Top 10 Cutest Babies of All Time, but I'm a wee bit biased--she is my cousin (Something like second cousin once-removed, but we're Italian, so it's just "cousin"). She was such a calm and sweet baby.

Look at those eyes!




She'll be giving daddy that look for a long time.
