Blakely ~Lubbock, Texas Newborn Photographer~

 Lilly did such a great with her new little sister, Blakely! She was very curious as to everything, asking a lot of questions. It was fun having her around. And y'all, don't be shocked, but I'm LOVING these whites and off white.

Since the weather has been warming up, we decided to do their family photos in my backyard.  I may have to do this more often.

Hrybs ~Family Photographer~

My family and I finally made a trip to Phoenix, AZ to see my best friend and her family a few weeks ago. Amanda has been my number one fan from the beginning and believed in me before I believed in myself.  While we were there, we made sure to get her some family photos.

Kora is about a year younger than my oldest, but a few inches taller. I knew her since she was in her momma's belly.

Alyse is a little quiet, but once you get her talking, she has lots to say.

Oh Bella! She's such a hoot!

And then there's my pal, A.J.. He's just a few months younger than my youngest. They became fast friends.

Adam was so patient and helped us find this amazing location!!

We had such an awesome time in Phoenix, but going through these photos is making me miss them so much!! Thank you for such a great time, Hrybs!!

Keenan & Jancee ~Lubbock, Texas Maternity Photographer~

Jancee and Keenan are expecting twins!!

Jancee has been on bed rest for her little boys, Jack and Sam, for a while now, so she suggested we do her maternity session at her home. I wasn't too sure how I'd go about doing it, but I absolutely LOVE the way these turned out. I can't wait to do another at home maternity session. Any takers?

Don't they have the most adorable house?

Such a cute couple! I have a feeling they are going to have some beautiful babies!

Can't wait to meet you, Jack and Sam!!

Morris Family ~Lubbock, Texas Family Photographer~

My sister and her family!!!

As a Texas gal, I was quite shocked when the snow from our blizzard stayed on the ground so long. We had a few warmer days, but STILL that snow would not melt completely.  This was a few weeks after the snowpocalyse!

A family session for the Morris was a MUST, snow or not. Allister left a few days after their session to start his new job in NorTh CaROLinA. What? Yep, my sister's family is leaving the Hub city for the scenery in the east. Can't say I blame them.

Isaac is just a few weeks younger than my oldest. He's got the cool man genes and rarely is seen without a hat. My boys LOVE having him over.

Zion has never known a stranger. I'm pretty sure she'll make friends quickly after their move. Heck, we can't go to the grocery store without her making a friend.

It wasn't much after this session that Elijah got his braces off. I might need to take him out for a little mini session to show off his new pearly whites.

Anybody got a clue what kind of tree sheds tennis balls? I'm going to try to talk Malachi into coming back to Tech when he finishes school. We've got plenty of room, kid!

Believe it or not, it's sometimes harder to get teens to smile for photos. And I'm not naming any names, but it's so nice when someone lets out a huge fart and makes everyone giggle.

Wish you guys all the best on your new adventure. We're going to miss you like CRAZY!!!

Autumn's Maternity ~Lubbock, Texas Maternity Photography~

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh GIRL!!! 

To celebrate her 5th pregnancy, Autumn's family and I went out to do family portraits. Autumn is the proud mother of 4 handsome boys with little baby girl on her way.

Not but a week or 2 after we took these photos, baby Acapella made her arrival.

Congratulations to your family, Autumn!

Hazards ~West Texas Family Photographer~

Yes, those clouds are real, folks. But that didn't stop us from getting the Hazard family portrait session in. To Fort Concho it is!

Isn't George just a doll!

Ella had a little game that she played. She'd only give me serious looks when I had the camera out, but as soon as I put it away, she'd start giggling. She didn't know that the serious looks are my favorite anyway.

But we managed to get a couple smiles out of her!
