Sweet Baby Girl in the 2016 Texas Bluebonnets {Plano TX Bluebonnet Photography}

Oh this sweet little girl in the Texas Bluebonnets?!  Isn't she absolutely adorable?!  She was all smiles for me throughout her whole session.  I absolutely loved it!

I had been wanting to take my little toddler bed out to the Bluebonnets.  Oh my goodness she was just perfect for it.  

I love that her parents hopped in a few of the pictures as well.  What a sweet memory.  It has been our family tradition to get the kids in the Bluebonnets every year since they were her age.  Hopefully this will be the beginning of a fun tradition for their family too.

Beautiful Spring day with a beautiful family {McKinney Texas Family Photographer}

This has got to be one of the sweetest families I've gotten to photograph.  We decided to meet in McKinney near Adriatica for their family session this year.  They were dressed up so nice - beautiful dresses and suits.  The kids were absolutely amazing - very sweet and beautiful smiles throughout our time together.  They just always make me smile.

Plus I discovered that their Mom makes amazing hats and shirts.  Here's her facebook page if you want to see what I mean - KK Designs.  She made me and some of my Gunter Mom friends some amazing Gunter Tiger shirts.  I'll have to come back and post a picture when I get a chance.  They turned out so cute!!  Love when I discover my client's wonderful talents!  Thank you so much KK Designs!

Our Bluebonnet Pictures 2016 | Letters to Our Children

To my sweet little loves:

This month has been challenging...mainly because little guy had his surgery this month - tonsils out, adenoids out again, and tube in.  The surgery went great....but I missed that smile while we were in the recovery area and the first couple of days at home.  I'm glad it came back even though there was some obvious pain going on.  I am also very thankful that recovery went  as well as it did...much better than the ear surgery back in October.  Hopefully it will mark the end of our season of sickness as well.

Plus we managed to get in our annual Bluebonnet pictures.  We have done this every year since you guys were probably 6 or 7 months old.  I was a little bummed thinking we might not get into the Bluebonnets before they faded so I was so glad when we made it.

We also took the time to take pictures in your uniforms for the activities you guys are in now.  E is our little ballerina and N is our soccer star.  I love how you both light up with your activities.  You both have found a place where you can shine.  I can't wait for E's recital and love going to N's games.  We had to miss a couple of games for the surgery but should be back up and at them this coming week.  I hope you guys always find activities that you love this much - ones that build your confidence and let you know that you can do what you set your mind to.

Also glad we got our puppy in the picture with you guys!  She is definitely one of the family.

I love you guys so much!  You have such a huge part of my heart.  I hope  you know that I'm so proud of you guys!!

Love,
Mom

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 Jennifer's sweet letter next. 

Sweet Little Girl in the Bluebonnets | 2016 Texas Bluebonnets {Plano TX Bluebonnet Photographer}

How lucky am I?  I got to spend an evening with this sweet little girl in the Texas Bluebonnets a week or so ago.  She totally lit up my night.  She had such sweet energy and absolutely glowed when Mommy or Daddy would do her special song for her or chase her.  I left the Bluebonnets smiling after meeting her and her family.

Sweet Newborn Baby Girl {Carrollton TX Newborn Photographer}

I absolutely LOVED getting to spend an afternoon with this sweet little one and her parents.  Isn't she just beautiful?!

One of my favorite things about newborn sessions is getting to specialize the session with things that are important to their family.  I love it because it allows me to be creative and lets each session have its own unique feel.  So when I was talking to the mom about this session and she mentioned dad was a musician and wanted pictures with his guitar, I was super excited.  I loved that we got to pose her with the guitar, along with some things from her nursery and her special blanket and lambs too.

When I showed my husband this picture, it was one of his favorites he said.  He also mentioned it looked a little scary.  I will tell you though there is a special trick to this picture.  Dad's hands were always holding his little girl on the guitar.  Mom held the guitar steady the whole time too.  I will try to post the pictures I used to make this composite soon so you can see what I mean.  (Newborn safety is so important to me.  I won't attempt shots unless I know a way to do them safely.  The little ones are definitely too precious to take any chances with.)

Such a beautiful family!  ♥

The sweet details...those teeny, tiny fingers and toes.  LOVE!
