One Year Smash Cake | Calvin {Frisco TX Child Photography}

Look who is turning one soon!  This cute little guy was all smiles at his one year session.  Isn't he just adorable?!

He was so excited about his cake!  I absolutely LOVE watching little ones with their smash cakes.  Cute, cute, cute!!  Thank you sweet Calvin for being the perfect little model and happy birthday!!

2015 Texas Bluebonnet Season

I'm so excited that Spring and Bluebonnet Season will be here soon!!  I absolutely love this time of year!!  The prediction is the Bluebonnets will be in peak season the first couple of weeks in April so now is a great time to start planning your Bluebonnet session.

For us it's a fun tradition in our family to get yearly pictures of our kids in the Bluebonnets.  We started when they were just itty bitty on their little boppies. Now I love to look back and see how much they've grown each year.

Please email me today to book your session too.  We can plan a fun Bluebonnet session or a Spring session, whichever you prefer.  I can't wait to take some beautiful pictures for you!

Happy Valentine's Day! {A Letter to my Children}

To my sweetest Valentines:

This year has been such an amazing year for us.  I have seen you guys really start to fly this year.  Last year at this time, I was preparing myself to let you go to pre-K in the Fall.  I would be lying to tell you I wasn't nervous for all of us.  But you guys LOVE school and have grown so much from the experience.  I have seen your confidence levels grow and love that you share your adventures with me every day when I pick you up from school.

You guys are so excited about Valentine's this year!  So far this year we have enjoyed taking Valentine pictures together, decorating our house with our few Valentine decorations and all the beautiful hearts you guys have made, making Valentine's for you friends (Hello Kitty and Ninja Turtle Valentine cards of course), and talking about your Valentine's party at school - which I'm so excited I get to be there for. Definitely one of the things I love is seeing school parties through your eyes.  I had a blast being at your Christmas party.

And after your Valentine party we are getting to go to a family Valentine's dance.  I can't wait to dress us all up for our family date.  Such sweet memories to come!! ♥

I love you guys so very much!!
Mommy


{This is one of my favorite verses.  It sums up the way I want to love you guys.  I know I am not always successful at this but I want to strive for this always.}

1 Corinthians 13:4-8New International Version (NIV)

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

I am participating in a blog circle with a great group of moms who are writing letters to their children as well.  We're doing it together as a way of supporting each other and as a reminder to keep writing when life gets so busy.  I'm so glad to be a part of such a great group of ladies.  You can follow our circle with Sara's sweet letter next. 

Look Who's One! {Gunter TX Birthday Photographer}

Time is just passing way too quickly lately!  How did another one of my little clients turn one?  I don't see how its possible!!  This is Liam.  He is the precious little boy my college roommate had last year.  Here are his newborn and 6 month sessions.  See what I mean...just doesn't seem possible he is one already.

But oh my goodness he is such a sweet little guy.  He has the cutest smiles and I quickly discovered he LOVES Mickey Mouse.  My favorite part though, the sweet snuggles he gave me when we were done with pictures.  I could have snuggled him all day long.  Such sweetness!!  ♥

Valentine Sweethearts | The R Twins {Frisco TX Valentine Photography}

OMG....these two are about as cute as they come!  I loved doing their Valentine shoot this year.  My favorite thing ever - I get such sweet hugs from them when I see them.  Can you tell I had a hard time picking just a few favorites?  :-)

I'm so glad to have this sweet family as friends and absolutely love that I'm getting to watch these two as they grow!  ♥  

One Year Milestone | Beautiful Amberlynn {Gunter TX Child Photographer}

Look at this beautiful little girl who just turned one!  Isn't she adorable?  This is my (great) niece so I may be a little biased but I think she is a cutie patootie.  ♥

Love the little foot sticking out!! ♥

I had so much fun taking pictures of her in my little studio setup!  Happy first birthday Miss Amberlynn!!
