THE ROCK ANGELS

so, when you are 9 months pregnant and feel like a float in the

Macy's Thanksgiving Parade- walking around photographing 8 beautiful

girls with rockin' bodies, doesn't help the self image.

that is what i go to do last week.

these are 95.9, The Ranch's,ROCK ANGELS.

they are all super precious and look amazing.

so when you hear of them being at an event for the station,

you should run over and meet them in person.

for now, you will have to settle for just lookin' at 'em....which isn't that hard to do.

THANKS GIRLS! looking forward to the next shoot!

4 generations

these are the women of the schmidt family.

karen, is a childhood friend

that i simply adore.

her mom has written a book about

the relationship between her oldest and youngest sisters.

my oh so talented friend has illustrated the book and used her darling

little daughter for inspiration.

this was a session to find a photo for the inside cover,

but also to celebrate the sweet bond of these women.

when the book is on the shelves and they are super famous,

i can say "i knew them back in the day" :)

they are super funny-as you can tell

i LOVE sisters!

how cute is she?

what girl doesn't need sparkly red shoes?

95.9 The Ranch

this is REAL texas music for REAL texans!!!

if you like it homegrown, check out 95.9!

i had the pleasure of doing some head shots

of a few DJ's last week, and they were so fun!

if i can get people to listen to me (while HUGELY pregnant)

and boss 'em around for a bit- they must be the real deal.

listen to 'em once and you will listen to 'em again!

The Laffoons

really, there is not a lot to say about this family, except that they were REALLY GREAT!!! it was a last minute photo shoot, and sometimes those feel a little rushed, but no this time. they had some great ideas of their own and at the same time, were totally open to my direction. and those boys....oh my. how absolutely darling are they and let me tell you, they were some of the best well mannered boys that i have ever been around. made me so happy that they found me and that we could make our schedules work out! i am really anxious to get them in front of the camera again!

Sisters

what a great gift for mom! these sisters wanted a "grown up" sibling picture to give their mom. sometimes, we forget that even after we are married and have families of our own, that our parents still think of us as their babies. what a precious way to honor them and the sweet bond that siblings have as adults. i love these sisters so so much. they are hilarious and make me laugh really hard. every time that i leave from spending anytime at all with them, i am a little jealous that i don't have sisters too. luckily, they let me be a part every now and then. :)

....by the way, their mom LOVED this!

oh, to laugh like that!

soon after, the "ugly" laughing started, you know, snot, tears, etc...

and that was just me behind the camera- you shoulda seen them. :)

The Turpins

fun family and the CUTEST dogs! nita owns a really fantastic scrapbook/ paper crafting store in hurst. it's called ANTHOLOGIES. there isn't much in the store that i don't love or wish that i had the time and creative genius to figure out how to use. defiantly worth checking out. anyway, thank you to the whole turpin family for a great afternoon! can't wait to see you all again!

The Bellows

this is ANOTHER one of my favorite families- i got to shoot alot of those this season! we are truly like family. holidays and birthdays just aren't complete with out them around. God so blessed me when he brought linsey into my life 22 years ago- and now i get to love on the other three. it was a quick session-little man was not in the mood, but we got some great shots-here are just a couple. :)
