The Beautiful Priscilla

Meet the way hawt College Senior Priscilla! LOL Yeah, she's smokin! Priscilla is a Texas State Senior graduating this August! We did some classic cap and gown photos then we really had a blast shooting some awesome fashion photos! Here are some favorites from the session! :D

Garretts Album and Calling 2008 Senior Models!

Meet handomse Garrett. He's a 2007 senior from Lockhart and I finally got his Senior Album back from the printers so I thought I'd share it here. His album is AWESOME. I loved it so much I printed one for me! If you'd like to stop by and see it come visit me it's that cool! :D I photographed Garrett in the studio, in New Braunsfels, Gruene and at his home. The most special session was at his family ranch because they had a tractor that was over 50 years old and was bought by his Grandfather. They still use it today! We had had some scheduling issues because of all the rain and this was a few months ago and it's STILL raining... but anyway his album is extra special cool!

I can't believe that summer is almost over! It's that time again when I start looking for 2008 Seniors Models. I usually choose 1 or 2 models from each local school. Click the link above or come to www.SmileHouseSeniors.com for more information! :D If you think you have what it takes to be a Senior Model then fill out the form! Remember what's most important to us is that you love to have your picture made and you're active in your school and willing to share your portraits with your friends!

Hotchkiss & Anderson Families

Newly Weds! I'm so honored to have photography the Hotchkiss and Anderson's! They made a stop by the studio for portraits on thier wedding day. Sandra looked so pretty in her pink dress! We took some really fun couple portraits and then photographed each of the families and then everyone together! They were a lovely family! Congratulations to the happy couple!! :D

Brice is Three!

Ahhhh it's Brice! My all time most smiley baby! Brice is one of my favorites! I just photographed his baby sister Brinkley. It's wild how much he and Brinkley look alike! I cannot believe he's 3 years old. WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE! He was as cute as always. We had a fun session and this time the power of the bribe was very affective! He really did not want to lay on his tummy for that tummy pose! It took some convincing! LOL I have a treasure box full of toys and candy and when a kid is cooperative and smiles they get to pick a treat out of the box. I let Brice get as many as he wants because when he was a baby he was the best baby to photograph so I figure he's earned plenty of treasure box items! LOL

The Smith Family

Meet the Smith Family! It was Mike's birthday when we did our session! :D We had a lot of fun and made some beautiful family portraits. Their little girl has the best vocabulary ever and she's not even two! She also had those beautiful curls which if you've read my blog at all you know I love curly haired kids!! My favorite image from the session is the tutu image. I went with an antique look to the image and it came out so perfect with her vintage look! Mike has me convinced that I really need to get dish network! ( We don't have cable! I know it's hard to believe but we haven't had it in almost five years!) LOL Anyway... If you need your house wired for sound Mike is your man!

Happy Birthday Brennan!

Brennan turns ONE!! Here is sweet Brennan's first year portraits. We had a fun session he was really really walking. Not toddling but full on walking and running! I bet his folks were tired after our session! We did a bit of baby wrangling! He has the sweetest smile and makes some of the cutest expressions! Even though he had people to see and things to do we got some really cute images!

Sweet Baby Briella

Finally! I have a moment to blog! I've been holding on to these images until the Cornwell's had a chance to send out their birth announcements! This is their beautiful new baby girl Briella! We had a "first" at my studio! Her umbilical cord fell off during our session!! :D That was a new one for me! So of course we took pictures of that too! New babies always make my ovaries twitch! She was so cute! We had a great session enjoy! I'm excited to see how much she'll change in the coming months! If you hadn't guessed they are Texas Tech Fans!! :D

Home Again

It's hard to believe a week has come and gone so quickly. I'm glad to be home but I already miss the beach. I'm catching up on emails and phone calls. We had a great vacation. Here are a last few photos to share. This was a really cool beach shop in Corpus. I love mermaids and so just had to stop and take pictures of this sculpture. We played miniature golf that night too next door and had a great time except for the gigantic mesquitos that were trying to eat us alive. Guy had brough his "camera" to the beach too. He decided he also needed to take pictures! He proclaimed that he was also a photographer! I keep telling him no baby... you want to be a DOCTOR!! LOL Everytime I tried taking a picture of him he kept taking pictures of me. I suppose I should download his photos and see what kind a pictures he took! LOL Now I just have to find his camera! Then there is one of my brother in law and of my nephew! Of course I love all the boys in their hawaiian shirts! It's a classic! The next photos are of Shelby Lane, me and some of her kiddos. They came out on Saturday. Shelby had a beach session so I played with the kids while she was photographing. They had a blast! I wish we had more time that day. Then lastly the cousin's playing on the computer! They spent a lot of time playing at Cartoon Network. Guy really loves the computer. He's sooo computer savvy. He launches the browser goes to the favorites knows which are the bookmarks he likes to go to. He has figured out what keys do what on these games. He really loves computers. A programmer is a good profession too! LOL Back to the grind! It will be a busy week playing catch up!!
