the Minor Family

Okay, so this next comment is completely going to reveal my age, but I have known Ashley since she was in JUNIOR HIGH!! Yes, that's right...I am OLD ;)  It is so neat to have been able to watch her grow up into the beautiful (inside and out) woman that she is.  I have gotten to know her hubby Brence in the last few years as well and he is just perfect for her!  I think their family is just precious....and their little girls absolutely make my heart melt!! We met up for a family photo shoot (I photographed her sister Amy's family last week) for their Christmas pictures. One little missy, who shall remain nameless...ehemmm...Leah, did NOT want to sit still. I mean really, though, what 2 year old wants to sit and smile when there are wide open spaces to run around in?!?  I am pretty sure I looked like a chicken with its head cut off frantically following these gorgeous girls around trying to get the perfect pictures, but hey, the shoot isn't really about what I look like, now is it? I am willing to do whatever it takes! The exercise definitely didn't hurt me any ;)  Despite some adventurous little girls, I think we got some FANTASTIC shots :)

I met up with this sweet family to take some Christmas Pictures and although it had been windy all day, the temperature was fairly comfortable. Of course, the minute we began our photo shoot, the temperature dropped drastically and it was.....a bit....chilly, to say the least! We definitely had to take a few breaks to stand in the sun and warm up! Despite chill bumps, chattering teeth, and FREEZING little hands, we had a great time! The boys were super cooperative and pretty much tried everything I asked them to do...even if my directions were completely confusing!! Thanks for letting me photograph your precious family!

the Fiocchi's

This little family is BEAUTIFUL!! Casey, who happens to be longtime friend of my husband's family AND one of my favorite client's sister-in-law, asked me if I might be able to take pictures of her new baby girl Cayleigh when they were in town for Thanksgiving. Let me just say, that I am so honored they would ask me because they are live in Ft. Worth where there are a thousand spectacular photographers they could have chosen from! Not that there aren't spectacular photographers in San Angelo, because there ARE, but you know what I mean ;) Anyway, we squeezed in a session the morning before I left to visit family and I am SO glad we did!! Daddy, Momma, and miss Cayleigh were fantastic! Although, much to dad's liking and my dismay, Cayleigh highly protested when we tried the "tutu" pictures. BUT I snapped a pretty precious picture anyway! Chris and Casey- thanks for being patient with me, even though I said, "this will be the last one," about 1,000 times!! :) Hope you enjoy your sneak peek :)

Family Fun

I have been taking pictures of the adorable Abernathy Family for several years now and I just adore them! Janet and Bryan are great friends from my college years and it's been so neat to watch their family grow. Their kiddos are precious and have the cutest relationship with each other! Normally, I just photograph their little family of 4, but this year we expanded our session "just a little bit!" We added 5 more wonderful people to the mix :) Janet wanted to include her parents, brother, and grandparents, which I thought was a fantastic idea! We had a great time...well, at least I did anyway...and we got some really fun shots:

Catt Family

I just love this sweet little family! It wasn't too long ago that I took pictures of little Miss Brielle. This time we met up for a "whole" family photo session. Both girls were in a fantastic mood and did great during the shoot :) And my oh my...I know one daddy that is going to have his hands full warding off the boys in a few years! Have a little sneak peek of the Catt Family:

Ross and Savanna are one of my FAVORITE couples, plus she has these amazing icey blue eyes, so you can imagine how excited I was when Savanna contacted me about taking pics for their Christmas Cards :) When everything was set, she said something about me getting to be their "official" family photographer, which I thought was a little fishy because it's just the two of them. Not that they aren't a "family" with just the two, but, well, you know what I am saying!! :) Anyway, they were so stinkin cute on their photo shoot. Giggling. Laughing. Smooching. Giggling. More Giggling. They obviously had some inside joke they weren't telling me...I was just hoping the inside joke wasn't ME ;) Well, much to my surprise, a few weeks later, Ross and Savanna announced they were PREGGERS!! And Savanna told me later that she was giggling to much because Ross kept whispering "BABY" in her ear during the photo shoot!! :) So, I guess I really was their first official family photographer!!! So excited for you guys and hope you LOVE your pics!!
