The Norton Family

When I worked at The Apple Store in Willowbend a few years ago, I met an awesome fellow-Apple lover Brenda. She contacted me recently to get together for some Christmas card-ready family photos. We spent some time in the Grapevine Botanical Gardens then climbed some of the trains near downtown Grapevine.

Check out their beautiful family.

The Family Stone..I mean, Stone Family

I love the movie The Family Stone so I can’t help but title this post that. I was fortunate enough to meet this beautiful family and take some portraits before one of their daughters heads off to school. This family also has a new member, Oksana, who was recently adopted into the family. If you haven’t seen on my website already, I provide free sessions for any families that have fostered or adopted within the past 2 years. You can check out more info on that via my site: www.inourlifephotography.com

In the meantime, meet the Stones!

Beautiful Oksana She's adorable!

Gorgeous Hannah about to head off to school!

Emma (is a) Joy!

Well, baby Emma Joy has arrived and she’s adorable! I haven’t had a ton of time to work on the photos yet but here’s a small preview of some of them. She’s beautiful Colleen! Can’t wait to watch her grow.

Precious with a capital P!

Lewis’ Part 2

My sweet friends, the Lewis’, just had their second boy and he is a cutie! Hard to believe we took Luke’s photos over a year ago. I stopped by for a couple hours of shooting and I think we got some fun shots to play with.

Don't forget about big brother!

who finally said 'cheese!'

Growing Family

My very sweet friend, Colleen, is expecting her second child. She is already such a great mom to her little boy and will be such a great mom to her new baby girl. We grabbed some photos before she gives birth next week. Can’t wait to meet her Colleen!

Isn’t she gorgeous?!

About to be the big brother!

Thanks Colleen! Can’t wait to do the newborn photos soon!!

Elkins Family

Some friends of ours just had their second daughter recently and invited me over for some Chick-Fil-A and some photos. Katharine had some great ideas for some pictures and they came out great. Hope you enjoy. (Don’t forget to select more to see more)

London calling

A wonderful labor and delivery nurse + a hard-working police officer = a very sweet couple who are parents to be

Here’s some fun maternity photos from my shoot with them.

Thank you, Cheryl, for letting me capture some moments before sweet London arrives.

3 Generations of Love

Is my title too cheesy??? Sorry, I have my moments of cheesiness but it’s true in the case of this shoot. One of our friends contacted me a few weeks ago wanting to surprise her husband and father-in-law with a Father’s Day shoot and I happily obliged. So here is a preview of the sweet Simpson family with a focus on the 3 generations of handsome boys (and a few with the (still very important) ladies of the family)!

Wake up and be inspired!

I was blessed by a very sweet friend last week who sent me to David Ziser’s Digital Wake-up Call. It was a great time of learning more about lighting, digital workflow, and marketing. There were also a lot of sponsors that offer great products which I will be trying out soon! I was also fortunate to win a door prize! Woohoo! I won the PictoColor Software iPortrait and will definitely be trying that out after my next shoot.

It’s been about a week now since I attended the seminar and I am still soaking up all I learned. I was able to practice some of the lighting techniques this past weekend at a wedding and will post some pictures of that soon.

In the meantime, what inspires you photographically-speaking? For example, what do you see out in the world that makes you think, “Man, I wish I had a camera with me to capture that!” For me, it’s seeing families interact and share sweet looks and moments with each other (see pic below) or watching a couple spend time together…basically, capturing the love in the world. I know, I’m sounding all hippie but it’s what inspires me!
