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!

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 :)
