Sneak Peek Jeff & Jen

This lovely couple is getting married this April and today we shot their engagement portraits in and around Hermann Park in Houston. We did a lot of walking, but I think it was well worth it! Just a few before I crash for the night. Here you go Jeff and Jen...

Glamour Girls!

Oh my gosh, this was just a GREAT party. Mom is probably one of the most creative people I know and these girls had such a blast! They got all dolled-up and then I came over with one of my rarely-used but favorite drops. Here are just a few!

The birthday girl...

Girlfriends!

Belated Merry Christmas!

I hope all of you out there had a terrific Christmas this year! I hadn't even turned my computer on in about three days if you can believe that! I am taking this week off, but will be back January 7th so I will take this opportunity to wish everyone a safe and happy New Years and thank you all for a memorable and busy 2007! Each year I am amazed at how my business grows and this year I experienced an incredible increase and it is all because of my wonderful clients so THANK YOU ALL so very, very much! See you in 2008!

Sweet Matthew

Matthew...
I have been a part of a few charity organizations for quite some time now. I strongly believe in giving back where we can and using the talents God gave us to help others but in a case like this, I wish it wasn't necessary. The organization I took these images for provides photo sessions at no cost to parents whose children are terminally ill and some who have already gone to be with Him. Tonight, I had the honor and privilege of meeting Matthew. A sweet soul on loan from God himself. Matthew is one of a set of quads and identical twin to Robert and he is in the final stages of liver failure. The fact that he is here at home for this short time is a miracle and one his parents did not want to let slip by so a nurse recommended that they call me. I must admit this was both one of the most rewarding and most painful things I have ever done. As a mother, I couldn't help but ache for this family. My heart was heavy while proofing and several times, I had to just step away and compose myself. God bless and be with you, Liz & David.

Sneak Peek Mandy & Robert

My last wedding of 2007! I couldn't believe it, this was a first...the BRIDE & Bridesmaids were totally ready to roll right when they were told to me...1.5 hours BEFORE the ceremony! That has never ever happened before. Here's to a well-prepared bride! Sorry your peek seemed to take ages, but here it is anyway!

Sneak Peek for Amy

I had to rescheduled this session from Tuesday until today because a) it was about 40 degrees and b) my house was in quarantine caused by the dreaded pink eye. After obsessively checking weather.com all week, I thought we were in the clear for this morning; party cloudy, comfortably warmer...bingo. Ugh, this is Houston and what you expect is NEVER what you get; fog as thick as pea soup all morning. So we ended up doing the majority of the shots inside but did manage to catch a quick couple out front. As luck would have it, about 15 minutes after they left (and little man C was tired of my camera), the clouds broke. Gotta love Houston! Here they are anyway, a terrific little family with the sweetest baby boy! This is for you, Amy.....ahhhhhhchooooo!

Pink

Me and my daughter played around a little bit tonight so I could use one of the terrific pettiskirts I have on loan. Isn't it cuuuuute? So all my moms with little girls, look out; this is just one of them!
