This is one good lookin’ family.

Sweet little Logan was asleep when I got there… Perfect time for some peaceful sleepy shots :)

I’ve taken pictures of this precious family since before little miss Lorelei was born. I’ve LOVED watching her grow up during her first year! They recently moved to Dallas, so while I was there for the weekend, we squeezed in a session.

Here she is as a newborn. So sweet.

And here she is today!

I have looooved getting to watch this little man grow up.

Check out his cuteness.

sweet Becca and Jake

“one more time…??”

I walked up to Alex, he walked towards me, and he put his hands in the air and wanted me to pick him up. Then his mom said, “he’s never met a stranger.” That’s what I like to hear, folks.

Alex and I had so much fun, and he was such a cute little ham.

he could give me serious looks, too :)

Remember the lovely ladies at Lullaby Lubbock? (yes, i love me some alliteration)

Kristen, Jeff and their three kiddos are peacin’ out of Lubbock this week. Jeff is officially a Doctor, and he’s going to do his residency in Tyler.

It’s been so fun to see how close Allison and Kristen’s kiddos have gotten. I mean, they’re like for real best friends, and they do everything together. So, of course we had to have a BFF session before they leave Lubbock. I get a good amount of sad thinking about it, so I can’t even imagine what Allison and Kristen are going through, but let’s just not go there :)

Onto the cuteness overload!

every expression in this one is just perfect.

not everyone was a fan of this idea :)

so fun!

avery and ella. such cute best friends.

ice cream time!

sweet sass, making sure she has enough money for the jukebox :)

jukebox fun

just being a model… you know

and now the moms got to have some fun. love this!!

I got a call from Kyle the week before Mother’s Day, and we talked over some top secret stuff. He wanted to surprise his wifey, and I was totally on board.

So I met Kyle and Isaiah at the golf course. We had the shortest session known to man, and had some cute overload fo sho.

Needless to say, Janae was surprised :)

She’s the cutest little Red Raider you’ve ever seen. Her dad is one of the new coaches for Texas Tech football, so she’s going to get this ‘get yer guns up thing’ down!

It’s amazing to me how much babies grow and change and learn in the first year of their lives. And it’s even more amazing when parents choose me to be the one to capture that first year. I begin to feel so connected and so much a part of something so so so awesome. And then the family tells me that they’re up and moving and I feel like I’m being cheated on…. Haha I’m kidding. But really… Sad day!!!

Yes, the Patterson’s are up and moving to Dallas. But don’t worry, we already have our 9 month session scheduled :)

You might remember Lorelei’s sweet newborn session. Then her three month session. And now onto her sixth month session!

love it!

such an angelic little face

ummm baby model?

this was such a sweet moment… they were all just looking at each other for the longest time. just studying each other. and this was right when lorelei looked away grinning.

This family is super awesome. They were a big part of Redeemer when they lived in here in Lubbock, and now Will is getting his MBA at Harvard… no big deal ;)

They were visiting over the Holidays, so we threw together a mini-session. I gotta admit, I always feel a bit limited when shooting indoors, but the sweet folks at The Watson Building let us use their facilities, and it couldn’t have been more perfect! It’s simple and beautiful and the light was just gawwwgeous.

Anyhow, here are some of my favorites from our session that took place right before their birthday parties (hence the 1 and 3 shirts!)

hi-larious!

some sweet father/daughter time

This is another sweet family from our church, Redeemer. It’s been fun getting to know these folks, along with their precious Molly!

Is this not the cutest face you’ve ever seen?

I laughed outloud at this one for a while… LOVE Molly’s smile!!
