…and belly makes five • Houston Maternity Photographer

I learned something yesterday – never pay attention to the weather report. I was doing just fine until it started pouring here at the house in the middle of the afternoon. A quick check on weather.com and the standard weather app on the iphone and I almost canceled this session.

As you can see, my phone is a liar. There were no clouds, there was no lightning and there definitely wasn’t any rain. Unfortunately, there was no “fun” sun to work with either but I think we managed

No worries, mom! We got some without him showing his, um, friendly face… I just thought this was hilarious!

And now, for some belly.

That is one seriously perfect baby bump!

Finally, a little romance before I head off into the sunset, or the storm rather that occurred right after this session for many hours last night.

So glad I ignored the weather report and made it out to this one!

Welcome, baby brother! • Houston Newborn Photographer

A few weeks a friend of ours asked me to photograph his family and his newborn baby boy. Nothing extraordinary about that, right? Except that he is an AMAZING photographer, one that I really admire and to say that I was nervous is, well, a complete understatement. But I downed my usual can of DoubleShots on the way over there and now here are a few of my favs.

I just LOVE these.

Isn’t big sis as gorgeous as her mommy?

Cousins • Houston Children’s Photographer

Have you ever seen such a good lookin’ set of cousins?

Some great friends of ours had family in town visiting this week and I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to photograph them during their visit. They were such a blast to work with and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day and perfect setting (their Mawaw’s very cool mid-century modern house!).

We climbed tress, played in leaves, jumped up and down and rolled around in the clovers. I left… a tad sore! But so worth it!

Yep, that’s in their Mawmaw’s backyard. They’re lucky it wasn’t any warmer or I’d have made them jump in the lake. Next time kiddos… next time!

A perfect Sunday morning • Houston Family Photographer

We could have done without all the mosquitos yesterday, but really, I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect family for this fun and relaxed AM session.

I just adore this next one. They are just too sweet!

They are just lovely and I could have hung out with them all morning if it weren’t for all the Texas State Birds flying around and biting us (Ha! I just heard this one recently!)

He’s Here!

Adam Mateo is finally here and I am SO IN LOVE.

We’ve been home from the hospital now for four days. It’s been a difficult recovery for me but I’ve had a lot of help from my amazing hubby and kiddos. Nate is such a natural at being a big brother and Mena, well, she’s easing into it.

They absolutely adore him!

It has been a long nine months with lots of emotional ups and downs, it’s impossible for me to sum it all up in with a few shorts words. The only thing I am sure about is how incredibly blessed my husband and I are. Happy Birthday, Adam!
