I had the opportunity to spend a brief couple of hours with this family. 1/2 of this group currently lives in New Jersey and they came to Texas for the Thanksgiving holiday.
What a GREAT group!
Wild, and crazy, and happy, and such an amazing family.
It was super cold the day I was scheduled to come over for their family session. Regardless, they were all headed home the following day.
It was an opportunity we weren’t going to get again.
So…we made the best of it, and I think it TOTALLY paid off.
Tiffany and her family
What do you do when one of the kids isn’t ready to take pictures…you improvise

The New Jersey Group

If you are into couponing…you just might recognize this name of this momma.
I had the great privilege of meeting The Frugal Mom today. We spent some time this afternoon playing with her three amazing kids
Because really…that’s my job! I get to play around with kids. It’s pretty great.
Meet Logan.
He is the big brother. Age 7. Pretty cool guy. He’s all boy. They never want to have their pictures taken, but I think he hung in there like a trooper and looks super handsome.
This is Ava.
I love her name! Ava is 4 and is just as sweet as they come. She and I could have hung out all day, played dress up and rocked it out in front of the camera. She is so beautiful.
Hello Blake.
Baby brother Blake is two. He knows his manners and even though he was sleepy when they arrived he popped his head right up and started talking to me. So sweet.
Mom…I hope you love their pictures. Thank you for allowing me to spend some time with you this afternoon. You are so blessed… three times over.
Much love

I love all of my clients. I especially love it when clients become amazing friends. I love that I get to be a part of their lives and see how they grow and change.
I have said before that our lives are like a story. When I have the distinct honor to be a part of that story, or even just a chapter in your story…I am beyond happy.
This family is beautiful. One of the greatest things about them is the love for their boys.
Their wild
goofy
amazing boys
We spent some time together at the botanical gardens this past weekend. Lots of laughter, a minor mishap, a break in between… and we ended up with some fabulous pictures.
Thank you H Family for loving me just as much as I love you!
Much Love

Inspiration Through Art is a group that I am affiliated with. Here is the quick rundown on this group:
Inspiration Through Art was founded in January 2008 by Felicia Reinhard, made up of professional photographers, artists, children, and other volunteers nationwide that provide free programs and services to our nations heroes. Through the power of photography and the gift of art we are giving back and taking a stand for these children who sometimes feel forgotten because of their illnesses. We are here to let them know that they are heroes to many, and to share their inspirational stories and photos with the world.
I have been blessed with two amazing families over the last couple of years and was recently contacted by two more. There are so many great photographers that are a part of this group – that I am truly amazed when families choose me. I have one scheduled for a little later in the year…when it cools off – since it feels like we all might melt like a box of crayons left in the back seat of a car.
However, I have been working with Emma’s mommy over the last couple of weeks to get their session scheduled as soon as possible. The email that I received truly broke my heart. It is so sad to me that these sweet little children struggle with so much. They truly are little hero’s for being brave and strong and still keeping a smile on their face in the midst of such enormous battles.
Emma’s mommy wrote:
“Our Emma was diagnosed with A chromoshomal disorder, Trachesostomy, malformation of the brain, multicystic diaplastic kidney and several other issues. She was born on 5-14-11 and she was in the NICU for 9 weeks. She has only been home 3 weeks and will go back to the hospital for another month on 9-9-11 for open heart surgery.”
I seriously wanted to rush straight over and just hug this family and love on them.
A few days later, i received another email telling me that little Emma had been Care-flighted to the hospital because her little heart rate was too fast and they couldn’t get it to come down. She was starting to show signs of congestive heart failure. It was early in the morning when I received this email and I was driving to Dallas for a big day filled full of 6 photo shoots. They were going to schedule heart surgery in about 6 weeks and she wanted to get the session done prior to that surgery.
I immediately called Emma’s mom and talked to her for a few minutes and told her that I was sending lots of good thoughts and prayers her way. Again, I would have given anything to rush to the hospital and envelope them in love and prayers. They were waiting for the cardio dr to come back and talk with them about how to move forward.
I received an update this past Saturday letting me know that Emma was going to have her heart surgery this Tuesday (tomorrow). I am so sad that we will not get to meet before her pictures. However, I am so thankful that she is in the best place possible to receive the care that she needs. I am so very excited to meet this brave little girl and the family that has held hands together and prayed over her.
It is families like Emma’s that remind me why I love photography. With something so simple, I can give them capture this moment in time for them. I am so blessed because of the families that I am lucky enough to meet through Inspiration Through Art.
Until I have the amazing honor to meet Emma face to face and hug her sweet little self…please stop for a moment today and tomorrow and say a prayer with me that God will watch over this beautiful little girl and bring her thru her surgery stronger and ready to conquer the next battle she must face.
Much Love to you Emma and your Family

Look at this big girl! Isn’t she precious?
The first time I had the pleasure of meeting her…she looked like this
Now, she is full of smiles
and giggles
and raspberries.
Ava has just figured out how to sit up, and for the most part she did fabulous. We only had a few times were she looked like a tree being tipped over in a forrest. Sweet thing would just sloooooowwwwwwwly fall over.
She is also a very determined little girl
One hour, 4 outfit changes and a couple of crazy people making faces at her…I think she did remarkable.
Much Love little Ava to you and your mommy!
xoxo
