Max our Puppy

If you read my blog you know a few months ago we lost our dog Lulu. Guy had been asking for a new puppy. He even asked Santa for a new dog. So we decided it was a good time because our other dogs are in pretty good health and having remembered what puppies were like we knew we waited it would be harder on them. OMG puppies have SO much energy!

So one afternoon I started googling and found a breeder name Little's Kennels right here in San Marcos. We were instantly in love. And yes... having a new puppy really is like having a newborn except that we can leave him in his crate during the day and no one will call the police on us! Well that and newborns don't have crazy sharp shark teeth like a certain little puppy we love! (thank goodness for nursing mom's everywhere!)

So I'm in love with this little dog. I can't help it. :) Even though it's suppose to be Guy's dog. I'm pretty attached. I decided that I would photograph Max in all the poses that I normally shoot newborns in! Haha! Yeah my husband thought I was a wee bit of a dork but I didn't care so I needed to find some manly arms so I called a client/friend who has the beefcake thing going on and asked him to model! Daniel was a great sport! So here is Max's newborn session. Enjoy!

Realtor - Barrie Breed

Meet beautiful Barrie Breed. She's a Realtor with Hart Properties here in San Marcos. She wanted a new head shot for her business cards. She really wanted a portrait that showed more of her personality! She was up for trying all kinds of things which I love when people are open to trying new looks! If you haven't had a new head shot in a while it's a perfect time to update your portrait!

More Of Addie Grace

A few more of sweet baby Addie Grace. Isn't she adorable! New babies are so pretty with their soft skin and their little fingers and toes. We had a great session with lots of funny moments! At least Mom and Dad still have their sense of humor! Newborn's sessions often involve a wee bit of surprise pee and/or poop! Dad was a trooper. It's all about getting the perfect portrait! :) LOL Miss Grace even lost her umbilical cord while she was here! Congratulations Susan and David! I can't wait to photograph her next session. It's such an honor for me to get to document a babies first year!

Braxsten is TWO

I have no idea when this happened! The time really does go SO fast. Click here to see his blog from last year! Braxsten was SO good at our session. He was lots of fun and my goodness he talks and sounds so cute! Braxsten loves Thomas The Train and he played with his trains for me and we photographed him in our natural light area too... but the portrait of him in his UPS outfit are my FAVORITE!! Course his Daddy had been my UPS driver for four years! So those photos are just so stinking cute!! Thanks for coming in guys!

Troy & Sarah Beautiful Grapevine Wedding

It was a beautiful day for a wedding! Troy and Sarah tied the knot on Oct. 24th in Grapevine Texas at Paradise Cove. The venue was so pretty and overlooked a lake! Oh how I love being in the Dallas area. I so miss living up there! Anthony joined me as my second shooter at this wedding and did a great job! Neither he or I had ever "truly" experienced an Aggie wedding! Let me just say these families are some hard core Aggie fans! I've never seen so many Aggie rings! I love family traditions and these two families were definitely dedicated fans.... even down to the maroon bridesmaid dresses and the grooms ring shaped cake! Sarah and Troy were surround by friends and family and you could they're loved very much by the people in their lives. Congratulations guys! I'm so happy for you!

Of course he's the link to the nice BIG slide show. Or at the end of the blog is the smaller Vimeo version!

Love that Sarah wore her boots to the reception!

These were her borrowed pearl bracelet and earrings. They were lovely!

Love this shot of the boys jumping!

Portrait of the beautiful bride! I love the light in this one!

The handsome groom!

I love the ring bearer too! He totally stole the show as most kids do at weddings!

Sarah looks so excited!

See what I mean! He was talking to his Mommy the matron of honor!

We had the BEST sunset! I love these portraits!

The grooms cake was just like an Aggie Ring! Believe it or not there were MORE Aggie rings there that we couldn't fit in this shot!
