Reagan {Richmond, Texas Newborn Photography}

This little beauty was not supposed to make her debut until August 8th.  Arriving six weeks early she was a little trooper!  After a 14 day stay at the hospital I finally got to meet beautiful Reagan!!!

While she was in the hospital I decide to have a custom owl hat made to match her nursery.  I was nervous it would not fit since she is so tiny, but anything would look adorable on this little angel!

It is amazing how a one week vacation can get you so behind!!!  Well I am back in town and trying to play catch up.  Needless to say my blog has been neglected, but you are in for a treat because this little one will melt your heart!  Make sure you click on the link to view her video!  Grace Phillips

Kamryn {Richmond,TX Vintage Child Photography}

As you all know by now I have two AMAZING little girls.  Being a photographer I am guilty of using my children as my little guinea pigs!  They tend to scout new locations with me, test out new props, and of course be my little models!  So far they still enjoy it, although Im awaiting the day I have to resort to bribery ;)

If I have not already properly introduced her in the past, this is my youngest beauty Kamryn.  She stays home with mommy during the day which makes it challenging to get work done because honestly could you resist this adorable little face.

I had been wanting to check out this new location I found for some time now and I am so glad I did.  I immediately fell in love and will be paying my secret spot a visit in the near future, let me know if your up for it!  I think it is the perfect setting to capture that amazing vintage look!

I also have to give a shout out to Jennifer Baker the owner of Ava's Closet and designer of Kamryn's beautiful vintage flower headband.  I could not have found a better accessory for this shoot!  If you have not already done so make sure you check out Jennifer's other amazing products in Tiara's & Tutu's Boutique or visit her web site at  www.shopavascloset.com  You can also find Ava's Closet on facebook so become a fb fan to stay in the loop with all her awesome specials! I absolutely LOVE her accessories!!!     http://www.facebook.com/pages/Avas-Closet/104269056298351

Kody & Courtney {Prom 2011}

I have to admit Im a bit bias when I talk about this amazing couple.  Kody is my handsome nephew and Courtney is his gorgeous high school sweetheart.  These two met at Kemper High and hit it off immediately.  Kody has the best sense of humor so Im sure it did not take long for him to have Courtney all smiles!  I could go on all day about these two and how proud I am to be a part of their lives, but I hope by now they already know!  I met my husband in high school so I can relate to the place they are at in their lives right now.  You never know what the future holds, but as of now these two are best friends and creating memories they will hold close to their hearts forever!

With a few schedule adjustments (thanks Kari) I was able to photograph this happy couple as they headed off to Prom!  We had a great time and I am so happy they wanted me to be a part of such an exciting day.  I have to say I am a very PROUD Aunt!!!

  

Sofia {Richmond, Texas- Newborn Photography}

It was a pure JOY meeting Sofia and her parents!  Sofia's aunt is a good friend of mine and her cousin is friends with my oldest daughter so I was extremely excited to meet the new addition to the family! Sofia's parents are building a new home in our area, and my husband is a project manager so they had plenty to talk about while I got to work my magic with precious Sofia!     After meeting this amazing family, I am so happy they are moving in the area so I can watch this beauty grow up as well as keep in touch with them!  It was a pleasure working with you, and I hope I have created you memories of your little one you will treasure for years to come.
