~ The Henry Family ~

Meet Barry, Lauren, and the handsome Mr. Kaegan. Lauren and I went to high school together and she contacted me through Facebook to have some family pictures taken a couple months ago. Little did I know that I was going to fall head over heels in love with Kaegan the minute I saw him. He has the most beautiful blue eyes and his sweet smile warmed my heart so fast. He was such a good sport for his pictures. There are two sessions in this one post... the first pictures are from when Kaegan was about 8 months old (??? I'm horrible with remembering what I had for lunch yesterday, much less keeping up with dates months in the past hehe) and the second set, with his "smash the cake" photos were just after Kaegan's first birthday! I just can't say it enough, but he is such a handsome young gentleman. Barry and Lauren are so head over heels in love with him too, you can just see the joy in there eyes when they look at him... Okay, enough rambling... Hope to be getting more of this beautiful family in the near future!!!









~ Belly Love with Jess Thomann ~

Okay, this is so not fair... When I was pregnant with Truett, I looked nothing like Jess does being pregnant. She just has that perfect "basketball" belly and I was so jealous! Once again, not fair! She is such a beautiful mommy to be and she was literally glowing whenever we took these pictures. This was actually one of the first times for me to meet Jess and she is such a joy to be around. She's so full of love and laughter and every time I turned around, she was smiling.  It was an act of congress to have the opposite affect (no smiles) and get the "serious" portraits taken. Her hubby was deployed at the time we took these pictures, and I'm so looking forward to meeting Chris when he returns. I can't wait to meet Miss L and Chris in a few months...




~ Azlynn Nichole ~

Azlynn's mom, Sonya, and I go way back to high school and playing basketball together. We were not only two of the shortest players on the team, but two of the meanest to say the least hehe... Sonya called me when Azlynn was just a few weeks old (I'll have to post those at a later time), and then again when Miss Azlynn was 6 months old. Oh man is she a little toot!! Anytime I was simply talking to Azlynn, without the camera glued to my eye, she would smile at me and laugh the sweetest laugh imaginable; however, just as soon as my camera went to my eye and my finger went to the shutter button... all jokes were off and Miss Azlynn got so serious. She kept making this silly "granma" face like a little pucker face. I thought it was the sweetest thing ever, and that's what the majority of our shots turned out with!!! I can't wait to get more of this sweetie for her 1 year photos! It's been AMAZING to watch her grow and change over the last 7 months...


Here's a picture of the "granma" face that she kept making!! PRICELESS!!!


~ Bailen Silva ~

What else can I say about Mr. Bailen Silva but... ADORABLE!!! Bailen is the grandson of some really good family friends of ours from San Antonio, TX. They were in Lubbock getting their youngest son moved out of his apartment to move back down South and Karen, Bailen's well... gran-, asked if we could get a few pictures of the cutie-pa-tootie! She doesn't have any recent photos of him, and what she does have are from when he was a "baby..." That just wasn't going to cut it with me, so needless to say, I was thrilled to get some pictures of Bailen. We tried out a new location that I've been wanting to take pictures of for awhile, and the little ham made it so much fun... Thanks Karen and Alex, now we just need to set up another date and time to get some more of him done...

Ok, not really, but I've been in bed every night for the past 3 nights by 8:30. My little love goes to bed at 8, and I've been a quick one to follow.

~ Bontke Family ~

What better way to start the new blog then to start with one of my first "paying" clients. Photography has always been a passion of mine, and honestly I never really thought I was "good" enough to charge people to take their pictures. It was more or less just a hobby that I took up in my spare time... but then my mom, sister, husband, and so many other people told me to take it to the next level, so I did. I can't believe how far I've come, but I still have so much more to learn... Here's a huge thanks to those that TRUSTED me to capture the personalities of their loves.

I have known Kara for about 20 years, and her family is just absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!! As always, it seems that getting the "boys" to smile is a challenge, but there were some really funny times with Kaden... He's such a GREAT big brother, and he was always looking after Izzy to make sure she was "safe" (he would make sure there weren't any sticks, glass, stickers, etc, that she might pick up and try to chomp on)... Izzy and Truett are just a few weeks apart, so it was a blast capturing her sweet personality. Thank so much Josh and Kara for allowing me to caputre this special time in your lives... I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get a post up, but here it is!
