Valentines with the R Kids {McKinney TX Children Photographer}

I am so glad I got to spend a sweet Saturday morning with some of my favorite two year olds.  We got together to take a few Valentine pictures and I have to say they definitely make your heart smile.  Aren't they just too adorable?  (Mom always has them dressed in the cutest outfits!!)
 

 

It has been so cold here this year that we decided to try an indoor location instead for our shoot.  We shot at the Old Cotton Mill in McKinney and I definitely have a new favorite location for indoor shoots.  (So if you are looking for an indoor feel for your session, I've got a great place for you.)  :-)

Thank you R Family for letting me do your Valentine pictures!!  I love having the opportunity to do them and being able to spend some time with your sweet babies!

The Next Johnny Football :-) {Frisco and McKinney Area Sports Photographer}

This one is for all of you Aggie fans out there.  :-)  My dad is a Texas A&M graduate and of course the Aggies had an amazing football season this past year.  So when Johnny Football led the Aggies to such a great season, a special gift found its way under the Christmas tree for my little man.  And when he opened it, my dad was excited to tell me all about the NEXT Johnny Football.  :-)



Doesn't he look adorable with his Aggie jersey on?  No pressure from this Momma to be a football star but man he sure is cute!  :-)

Of course with the jersey on, I couldn't resist, I had to take him to a football field to let him play.  And he loved it!!  (And for all of you that are wondering, YES, that is my hometown "Fightin' Farmer" football field.  Hehe!!) 

And of course, every football player needs a cheerleader.  Oh she had so much fun - jumping and yelling "Yay" and "Go".  Oh so cute!! 

Just this Momma's opinion but I think she makes a pretty cute football player too.  ;-)

"Touchdown!!"  This play date was a huge success!  They had a great time!  (And just so you know...sorry Aggie fans...they were saying "Touchdown Cowboys".) 

I have to say this was so much fun for me!!  I love when my kids can play and have a good time and I can capture those moments too.  We all had such a great time with this that we've been talking about when we can go play football again.

In fact, I would love to do a session like this for you and your kids too.  These would make the best Father's Day gifts.  In fact, Dad if you are reading this please stop here.  :-)  These are going to make a great Father's Day gift for us too this year.   Please just email me if this is something you would be interested in and we can definitely make it happen. We could create an amazing story through pictures of your kids and your husband's/dad's favorite sport.  He will love it!!  :-)

Valentine Mini-Sessions with the R Kids {Frisco, McKinney, and Allen TX Valentine Photographer}



What a fun Valentine's mini session!!  I got the chance to spend some time with these beautiful little Valentine twins about a week ago and we had such a good time. 

 

 

We started our session with our "Hugs and Kisses".  Mom had brought these super cute XO letters.  Talk about adorable!!

Then we snuggled up our bear.  This was a huge hit with both kids.  I think they would have snuggled with him all day if we  hadn't moved on to the next set of pictures.  :-)

Of course, what is a Valentine's Day without roses? 

And look at these little personalities.  Sweetness, smiles, adventurous...all wrapped in.

We ended our session with Valentine cookies.  I loved capturing all of those sweet little details.

 

Sessions like this just make me smile.  I love watching the kids having a good time.  And I love capturing those sweet smiles, sweet hands, and sweet faces.  Thank you Wendy and Kevin for letting me a part of your Valentine's this year. 

 

And it's not too late to get your own Valentine pictures.  We have some beautiful days coming up.  You can check out more details for these sessions here.  Email me today to get your session set up.  I can't wait to take pictures for you!!

Texas Bluebonnet Mini Sessions {Plano, TX Area Children's and Family Photographer}

Since we've had our twins, I've always been amazed at how many twins we randomly meet.  So I was very excited when this mom of twins asked me to take pictures for them this weekend in the bluebonnets.  They are so cute and sweet!!  It was also fun to see how great big sister is with them.  She was very loving with them and just as much fun to take pictures with.  And I have to say I loved her pink cowboy hat!!  Here are some of my favorites from this weekend.

I would love to take some bluebonnet pictures for you too. The bluebonnets are beautiful and vibrant right now so it would be great to get the pictures taken within the next week or so if you are interested. I will be offering 20 minute mini-sessions for $40. You will receive a cd of at least 10-15 edited images (possibly more). I look forward to taking pictures with you!! Please just leave a comment with your email address if you are interested. 

Texas Bluebonnets {Plano TX Area Children's Photographer}

Yay!  The bluebonnets are here already this year!  We went this past weekend to take pictures in them.  It has become our yearly family tradition which I absolutely love.  We went in the morning but my bluebonnet models didn't really want to take pictures so we went to lunch and played on the Central Market play ground instead.  The kids had a great time and after a promise of cookies when we were done, we went and finally got our pictures.  :-)  Here are some of my favorites.

I have been wanting to be in more of the pictures with the kids lately - seems like I'm the one behind the camera most of the time.  So I handed the camera over to my husband and he got these great pictures of me with the kids too.  Thanks baby!  :-)

I had such a great time in the bluebonnets with my kids.  I would love to take some bluebonnet pictures for you too.  The bluebonnets are beautiful and vibrant right now so it would be great to get the pictures taken within the next two weeks or so if you are interested.  I will be offering 20 minute mini-sessions for $40.  You will receive a cd of at least 10-15 edited images (possibly more).  I look forward to taking pictures with you!!  Please just leave a comment with your email address if you are interested.  

Adorable Twins and Mommy Photo Shoot - {McKinney, TX Area Family Photographer}

I had so much fun last week with this set of twins and their mom.  The twins are absolutely adorable!!  And I was so glad to meet a new twin mom friend!!  Here are some of my favorites from the shoot.

One of the sweet things about these little girls was how in sync they are.  They would turn together, squat together - almost as if on cue.  Mom and Grandma called this "the twin thing".  I have twins but they are not identical and they never did this.  It was so cute and so fun to see!!
 

I had so much fun with this shoot.  Thanks again Aleke for letting me a part of these moments with you and your family!

Little Girls (and Boys) And Laundry - {McKinney, TX Area Children's Photographer}

My LensBaby group put together the cutest photo shoot this past week - Little Girls and Laundry.  It was such a cute idea!  And apparently my kids love to iron - who knew?!  I see a toy iron and ironing board in our near future.  :-)  Here are some of my favorite shots from this week.
