Lola Turns 1!

This post is extra special to me, because this is about a little girl who has a chunk of my heart. Meet Lola - my god daughter ;)

My heart melts every time I look at her. She has a smile that lights up a room and a sassyness that will make you want to  need to take several deep breaths. You should of seen me and her momma trying to get her to cooperate for this session - she knew what she was doing because the moment I would put my camera down she would break into a big ole cheesy grin! 

 You may remember Lola and her precious family from her newborn session - it is insane to me that she was once that tiny :(

Lola's mom and I have been friends since 5th grade. I have some of my best memories with her. One of my prayers for Lola is that I hope she finds a childhood friend like the one I have found in her mom. To have a friendship like that is so rare - and to still be one of my best friends some 20 years later is beyond priceless. 

I also pray she loves shopping as much as I do - so when I saw how excited she was about my shoes...well lets just say it was a very proud moment! haha

no words for this one. swoon.

Lola - you have already brought so much joy to my life. I am so excited to watch you grow this year! I can not wait to see what kind of adventures life has for you. Always remember I will forever have your back. Loves ya doll..

Clint & Kelsie

Clint & Kelsie are back! 

Im sure you remember them from their engagement session and then of course their wedding last year! I was so excited when they contacted me about doing some photos, as I though it was perfect since it was just weeks away from their 1 year wedding anniversary.

Let me just tell you, we were all drooling over this field of bluebonnets - it was extremely windy though!

We had so much fun hanging out and driving all over the place. It was nice to catch up since they live near Houston! They are both still in the military and LOVING being married - Clint is already saving to buy Kelsie an even bigger ring! hahaaha

Ok I really love this picture-  love capturing those moments. You can see just how much they love each other - swoon!

Oh and this picture - well lets just say that make out session even made my face turn red! I eventually just walked away! haha

This last one is one of my favorites. I love the laughter - and it just shows how much fun they have together - they are definitely best friends ;)

C & K - love y'all! I hope every year you fall more and more in love - you two deserve all the happiness in the world!

Darrell, Liz & Darrian!

I was so excited to meet this cute little family!

 We did a few family photos, but we were mainly shooting Darrians 6 month pictures! Let me just say that Darrian is a DOLL! O my word - he did not cry not once - he was all smiles. Oh I just fell in LOVE with him.

If I could sum this family up in one word it would be: "sweet" - they just have such a sweet and warm vibe! You can tell there is alot of love in their family :)

By the way - the picture above - yep, first time sitting in a big boy swing! :)

Oh bless-  check out that baby drool ;)

Darrell is training to become a fire fighter (which by the way, Darrell - if y'all ever need someone to come shoot a "fireman" calendar, I'm your girl!) haha j/k

Seriously LOVe this father/son photo - both of them wearing Jordans - I have a feeling Darrian will be shooting free throws before he starts school!

This is quite possibly one of my favorite photos from the shoot. Every time I look at it I just get a warm,fuzzy feeling. Cant you just see the love Liz has for her son in her eyes?!? Liz, you are beautiful!

Thank you guys so much for allowing me to capture this exciting time in your family! Y'all were oh so much fun! I hope to see lots more of y'all in the near future!

XO
