more of greyson

greyson was trying so hard to explain something to me. i just wasn't getting it. he sat down and sighed at me with such frustration and said "mom, you are not making sense out of me!"

i loved it! i laughed and hugged him. he didn't stay upset with me for too long :

enjoying the weather...

great weather makes me feel like all is right with the world! we tend to spend a lot of time outside as a family when the weather is so nice. we don't have the biggest yard, so we frequent all the nearby parks. these are a few photos of greyson at his favorite, spotts park . he loves spott's park because 1) we've been going there since before he could walk and even had his second birthday party there and 2) they have a ROPE SWING. it is very, very cool in his three year old world.

violet

the first time i photographed violet she was 8 days old. now she is 6 months old! look how much she has grown! what a difference a few months can make.


lucky for me, this was my third opportunity to photograph violet! dave and bethany (mom and dad to violet) are such fun and funny people, i am happy to have them as friends. plus, i know they really value the kind of photos i love to make. and, dave and bethany were my inspiration to keep up this photo blog - i love reading their blog and laughing at their adventures in parenting!

here are more shots from violet's 6 month session:








dave and bethany, it was a blast. thanks for having me at your house again. i can't wait for next time.

happy valentine's day!

happy, happy heart day! greyson and asher were both in rare form this morning. i took the photos of greyson dancing in our yard on the way to the car to take him to school. this is why we are late to his school every day!


(no, greyson does not really own a shirt with sparkly hearts on it. he just decorated his shirt with stickers while i was making his lunch!)

oh i love these little boys

asher is 3 months old today!

my tiny one has been in the world for three months already.


he is already showing his own character, his own spark.


asher is so happy.


i, on the other hand, am sad because i am already packing away baby clothes that are too small.

big brother, little brother

thanks for the shirts missy, they are super fun - here's proof :)

parker

going through some family photos, i ran across this shot of parker. parker is my cousin's little one. i grabbed this shot of him in a hotel bathtub over christmas. i was in the room when parker was born, and now he is a whole year old already! i can't believe it. enjoy your second year in the world parker. erin and luke, you are two lucky parents ;)

caroline & bill

caroline and bill were my first wedding of the new year and my first back after having asher. there couldn't have been a better "welcome back" for me! i was excited to photograph them again. we did engagement photos months ago and i decided then that it is not possible to take a bad photo of caroline. :)

they were married on january 12 at st. anne's catholic church. their reception at houston country club was stunning! kirksey gregg from the event company did an amazing job with the flowers, the lighting, the candles, the furniture, the sushi bar, the cake, the candy bar (!).....every detail was gorgeous. not only was it pretty, i think everyone had a great time too! i can't wait to find out where they went on their honeymoon -- bill had been keeping their destination a secret!

congratulations caroline and bill!
