Traditional Fun - Midland, TX Children's Photographer

The W Boys got their actual portraits taken this week. Their momma wanted some traditional shots of her sons, but I forced her to go to that carnival. So we were able to meet at a calmer location and get some additional shots. But I couldn't help but post at least one goofy picture. Check out the last picture of the boys together. The captions are endless!! Both boys make me laugh out loud when I look at this!! They are too cute.

Carnival Fun - Midland Family Photographer

How much fun was this!?!?! Yes, at times we felt a little adventurous putting young children on these rickety 50 year old carnival rides...but it was all in the name of photography...so it was worth it, right? No one lost a limb, so I think the answer is YES. The boys were great! We were approaching bedtimes and they still behaved. This carnival was full of photographer eye candy, so I was glad I got to use it for this session before they packed up and headed out. Thanks W Family for being such troopers!

Happy Birthday Mr. K

My son had a friend's birthday party at Grafa Park. They got to fly kites, hit a pinata, eat cake in a tree, ride a skate board down the grassy hill!! What more could a bunch of 4 and 5 year olds ask for? They had a blast!!

Pink, Purple and Zebra Print!! - Midland Children's Photographer

What is your favorite color? Well, I didn't realize zebra print was an actual color, but that was Miss A's reply! Too cute. These girls were full of spunk, and so much fun to play around with. The end of our session got a little crazy and the younger sister actually ended up in the pool. Freezing water!! We're not close to summer, yet, but she didn't seem to notice.

Camera Shy - Midland Family Photographer

Okay, these kids were definitely NOT camera shy!! When their Mom asked me if I'd be interested in shooting out at CAF amongst all the war birds, I did all I could to contain my excitement. My grandfather flew fighter planes in WWII, so I already have the upmost respect for these machines...and now I get to have a photo session with them!! The Dad flies these planes, so their kids are always playing around the CAF. This location is TRULY who they are. This is exactly what I want to give my clients….capturing pictures personal to them.

The New Miss "S" - Midland Children's Photographer

Okay, so I'm really behind posting some of my recent sessions, but I thought it was appropriate to post this session next. This sweetheart's mother came to me 2 weeks after I had delivered her Christmas portrait order desperate to book another session. She explained that immediately following our first session, her daughter lost both her front teeth and had to get glasses. She wanted to capture this "new" look. When she stepped out of the car, I was blown away by how cute she looked in her new hot pink glasses!!! So may I introduce to you....The New Miss S!!

Improvising - Midland Family Photographer

I had originally planned on shooting this family in the gorgeous outdoors. But can you believe that it was 40 mph wind that day? What, in Midland, surely not?! So we hopped over to Claydesta for their atrium. I was bummed that we had to shoot indoors, but I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome. These shots turned out beautiful! Here is another happy sibling group. What's up with these Midland kids actually loving their little siblings at this age? It must be the water.

I loved the color of their clothes. I get asked a lot what to wear at my shoots. I always say coordinate and compliment. This was perfect!!

Amazing Family - Midland Family Photographer

This was my second time to shoot family portraits for this precious family. These siblings get along so well it makes me want to call my brother and apologize for all the fighting we did. Who knew it could be this good!! But seriously, they are such sweet kids. I had a blast playing with them. And the parents were so kind to allow me into thier home before the actual shoot to capture some truly candid shots of the family getting dressed and interacting. I called it thier "At Home" session. This is life, and I am desperate to freeze frame it. I love portrait shots, but pictures of your family just being a family is priceless.

Happy Two Year Old!

My nephew turned 2 years, so we got to drive around town and take some fun shots of him. He was in a fantastic, goofy mood. So it was fun to capture some of his different expressions. Happy Birthday, big boy!!

And we had to get one of all the cousins together. Since I'm mainly shooting family at the moment, you'll get to see a lot of these faces. :)
