Rolling in the Deep Ellum, Dallas Photography

One of my favorite things to do is to scout now locations with friends.  I had heard Deep Ellum was super fun and colorful, I had no idea what I was in for!  We had a great time!

These first shots are of my oldest- as you can see she is quite the little model!

Then we move on to our little twins!  These boys are hams, and our little toe-headed friend here is quite the little devil!

Awwwww, then they had some brotherly loving time!  :D  Then we move on to the loverly Gabriella and her spinny skirts and curly cues!

Then we went into “Star Spangled Banner” territory with a big flag mural…  such fun!

And lastly the amazing Mackenzie and her bright blue eyes-  Love that girl!

I love her and her accessories!  She’s always right on the mark!

Awwww, as you can tell we had a great time hanging out in the heart of Dallas!

Growing Up! Arlington, TX kid photography

OH MY GOODNESS!  It really pays off to spend some QT time with these little ones- we had a great time playing today with Maddie at the park!  We went to Lake Arlington, in Arlington, Texas for a little picnic and friendly park romping.

See what I mean?  SO many smiles!  And she is getting SO very big… sniff sniff!

Of course, it’s pretty easy to get smiles from this cutie anyway- but when you have a *patented* Toddler Tamer in the mix.  Perfect for impromptu “Ring Around The Rosy” and “This Little Piggy”- so fun to watch!

It was SO relaxing to just chill out on a quilt and enjoy some time laughing at a little one with my little ones!  Thanks Amanda!

Family Fun in Colorado!

I am still recovering from a great time visiting family in Colorado!  Of course I brought the cam along and caught us all in our various activities!  I definitely missed those Colorado storms and, of course, the mountains.

I got to take the girls to my favorite place in Colorado- Castlewood Canyon!  The girls didn’t believe me at all when I told them I used to climb the cliffs… but I digress.  We had a blast with our cousins!

So I am gushing a little here- but my littlest and my sisters littlest have somehow managed to remain best buddies even though we live so far away!  I loved watching them together!

This last one on the right is my favorite- leave it to my daughter to go hiking in a dress…  great pic though.

Volunteers!

I had the amazing opportunity to photograph a local volunteer event and had a GREAT time.  The love that these volunteers had for the families they were serving was so very obvious- can’t wait to go back again!

Skater Boys in Virginia Beach!

Last weekend I got to go on a mini-vacation and go visit one of my best friends and her boys! We spent some time at a graffiti wall in Norfolk and at a skate park the boys frequent. She’s quite the super mom!

Note to self:  How to get a 10 and 12 year old to smile naturally requires bathroom sounds…

We also stopped by the greater park area for some more natural shots.  I love these guys!

Flower photography, Dallas Texas

Earlier this spring I took a hike around the Dallas Botanical Garden and found a few gems I’ve only just now gotten to tinker with:

I am such a flower nut, I used to buy gardening magazines and draw the flowers, I have painted a few of these already.  For the record- I tend to kill things that can’t tell me that they’re hungry or over-watered… which is probably why I stick with photography instead of botany.

Pretty In Pink, Mansfield, Texas Photography

Little Gabriella is well on her way to super stardom.  Or so she likes to tell me.  These were taken in various spots in and around Mansfield, Texas.
