Hunter (The Couldn't-Wait-Until-It-Was-A-Decent-Hour Post)-

This little heart-breaker is Hunter! We met this week to shoot his one-year portraits, and I cannot tell you how great he was! The day had the potential to go south: As I was pulling into the parking lot, it started drizzling; Hunter's Mommy (also given the illustrious honor of being named Jennifer) had forgotten her cell phone; despite being forget-doing-your-hair humid, it was really very overcast; Hunter's Daddy was wearing New York paraphernalia; and, most importantly, it was LUNCHTIME! However, Hunter just toddled along like a champ and let the strange lady get in his face with a big, black camera. I kid you not, NONE of these were staged or posed. The entire session was us just following Hunter and letting him be adorable. Get a load of that smile! Those eyes! Those cheeks! He was a delight to capture, as you can see by the MANY favorites here!!!

Pretty much one of my absolute favorites! The color, the personality... it's great!

Gotta love that drool! Don't worry, there's more where that came from...

He's already got the ladies swooning, I'm sure of it.

He kept wanting to go down the slide backwards! Little man, if you keep smiling like that, you can do whatever you WANT!

How perfect??

And of course this shot that I had to post last night because I was just too excited to wait!

Ah yes, more drool! I LOVE IT!

This face was great! He kept making it throughout his session, and it was precious!

A variation.

I cannot tell you how much I LOVE this picture! He was in a great mood the whole time, so don't let this fool you!

And another of my absolute favorites!

R Family, I had a blast braving the legendary Texas humidity and capturing Hunter's great big personality and smile to match!!! I can't wait to meet his sister this summer for family portraits. If Hunter is any indication, my camera might explode from sheer awesomeness!!! Thank you for letting me be a part of this milestone, and I hope you enjoy these as much as I am!

It's almost that time of year! Anyone worth their Texas salt knows that it's near blasphemy not to get your childrens' picture in the bluebonnets!

Stars on the Rise

I had the high honor to spend the day with the gorgeous Burks family this weekend. The main purpose of the session was to get some headshots for their two sons and some promotional shots for Carina. You see, the two Burks boys are insanely gorgeous and adorable, and Carina can SANG. Not sing... sang. Their youngest boy wasn't feeling too great that day, poor little guy, so it ended up being his older brother's shoot, but as you can see below, it was QUITE productive! We had so much fun and laughed almost the whole time, and not all due to my own natural hilarity. There are so, so many more photos waiting for you, Carina and Donell! I barely had to do anything to them because your family is so beautiful! I got some great shots for you to use... but also snuck in some family ones, just because I'm me and couldn't help myself!

How much does the little guy already look like a model?? I snuck a picture of him, poor baby...

I'm a sucker for mother-son moments.

Brian McKnight? Is that you?

This is my favorite headshot! It portrays him - and the day - so perfectly!

I think she looks like an angel here!

My favorite of Carina! Isn't she beautiful?

Do you see how perfect his skin is? Sigh...

Quite possibly my favorite shot... ever.

He laughed the whole time!

Ha! See why I had such a great day?!

Thank you, Burks family! I had so much fun with you all! Don't forget the little people once you're famous!!!

And hopefully we can get some shots of you soon, little man! Feel better!!!

There Is Nothing Wrong

With finding my husband attractive! These aren't anything official or super great... except for the subject! Truth be told, he didn't even pose, just let me get in his face like the papparazzi while we walked. I just wanted to brag on my good-lookin' hubby... and let everyone know I'm itching to take some portraits downtown, maybe around Deep Ellum. Any takers???

An exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Art.... Oooooh.....
