I always have so much fun photographing my hometown folks! I return every season to a shoot a few of these families and the lists keep growing. This first set is from a family I have known my WHOLE life. We started out in Clarksville, Texas together. Our parents were the best of friends. I have so many fond memories at their house. I even got to see my 2nd mom for a bit while shooting at their barn. You will see their barn in quite a few shots. Thanks Jenifer for being understanding when husband didn't quite relay all the information! LIKE, I was coming!

Speaking of going way back, here is my BFF from Middle School and High School! Well, her photo is a few down, and if you think you are seeing double, your right! She has twins!

And another sweet friend from GBMS and FSHS, I mean North Lamar. Look at her sweet girl! This girlie has some style! Her mamma drove in from Oklahoma for the shoot.

OH, and on our location change, this is what happened to my car! Stay one the road! Even if the grass is tall and the lighting is absolutely beautiful in the clearing. By the way, I was only 3 feet from the driveway!

And Mr. Caden and Ms. Chelbi. Can I say, FREEZING! These guys toughed it out and were troopers, but it was cold! Caden and I have become friends, and I have loved watching him grow up in the past year! Thanks Brandi, for braving the cold!

I do plan on returning in the spring, and those slots fill up fast, so if you are interested in a Paris Shoot, email me and I will put you on my 'first to know' list!

Well, a little later than I told her....sorry friend, but here is your sneak peek! I loved to hear your excitement when you asked about your sneak peek! Of course, I waited on the family picture, don't want to be a Christmas Card spoiler!Thank you for trusting me with your precious family and blessing me in the process. You and David speak so calmly to your girls, and your love for them and each other speaks volume! You live your life just as Jesus asks, and you are an example to everyone that you meet.

I love these sweet girls! Ella was so sweet to Elizabeth and patient with me and her as we captured this time of your family. Thank you!

I love going to Paris! I have many shoots to share with you from Paris, and from other holiday shoots...gotta go order some Christmas cards for some clients... but just had to share for these girlies since they have waited the longest to see their photos!

These are late popping up on here, and I apologize! Things are busy and that is always good, but the blog suffers! This was a great morning, with amazing friends who kept me laughing. Who would know what the next few days would hold for this family.... God did. I love you to pieces, and no family shot, because I don't want to be the one to spoil the Christmas Card...

Yep, I love him. Maybe because I am his neighbor, or because he shares a name with Bowden (Owen), or maybe because he is just STINKIN' cute! We had a wonderful time in Argyle today, and even if it was a bit chilly, we were just praising God there was sun!




I hope this will excite mom and hold her off a few more days for me to fall in love with him over and over in the other images!

These sweet girls were wonderful...wonderfullllll! It was a bit chilly, but they never complained. NOT ONCE! Here are just a few before I post your full album...

I had a great time meeting a very special girl a last week. This girl has so much style, and amazing parents! I was in their wedding once upon a magical day! Enjoy your sneak peek, just minutes before you album is LIVE!
