In the midst of gathering storm clouds, I had the pleasure of hanging out with these young ladies. They have been friends for years and decided to have a photo session to celebrate their friendship. Who says you have to be a newborn, a senior, or getting married in order to have pictures? I love when people want pictures just because…

Brenna, Jade, and Jaden, you ladies are so sweet and lovely. Thank you so much for letting me hang out with you to take your pictures. I hope your friendship continues for years and years to come!

It is crazy how creative I have been with my blog post titles lately. For real.

I’m going to be brutally honest. Family photos are not what I consider my greatest strength. I am always on the fence if I should continue shooting them. Props to those photographers out there like Bobbi and Mike, The Image is Found, and Pastel Photography, they can rock some serious family sessions. It takes major determination, skill, and patience to photograph a family. But then I get families like Heather, Marc and their two boys and it makes me think, “I love families! Why would I want to stop photographing them?”.

These guys were ideal clients. Relaxed, patient, easy-going and nice. Really, I couldn’t have asked for better.

Their boys are Nathan and Morgan, and like boys their age, they are very much interested in not having their pictures taken. Especially when  surrounded by a plethora of farm animals…

Nathan is three.

Heather and Marc, I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and  your precious boys and I hope to see you all again!

Libby’s Mom, Shelley, wanted some pictures to commemorate her daughter’s third birthday. We headed to downtown Amarillo for a fun photo session where I once again fell in love with sweet Libby (see her last session here). This little girl is so amazingly sweet, personable, and smart!

She is also quite the professional hair-twirler!

It was a pleasure to have Libby’s grandma along with us for the shoot and it is obvious that Libby and her grandma are quite smitten with each other. I loved having the three generations of ladies with me and watching them interact and love on each other.

I am always so impressed with Shelley’s gentle and quiet demeanor with her daughter.

Her patience and calm makes me feel like uber-spaz, but in a good way.

Libby you are so sweet! I could just eat you up (also, of course, in a good way)!

Shelley, thank you for the second opportunity of photographing your precious girl, she is such a treat! Happy third birthday Libby, I hope it includes lots of red flavored slushies!
