You’ve seen these beautiful kids on my blog a few times already.  Their mom, Angela, is a great friend of mine.  And I am honored each and every time she asks me to take her photos!  Angela’s mom was in town for a visit, so we got together one HOT and HUMID morning for some pictures.  They were all such troopers…I don’t know about them, but I felt like I was melting!  It was one of those instant sweat mornings, thanks to some early thunderstorms that cleared up and left 98% humidity in its wake.  Despite it all, we came away with some cute shots of Mimi and her grandkids!

I also took some of Angela and her mom.  They are both such beautiful women and I love this shot of them!

I can’t wait to show y’all the rest of your gallery.  And thanks, Angela, for always trusting me with your family photos!

I feel like a lot has happened since my last blog!  The biggest thing (well, to me) was the arrival of my new camera (a Nikon D300)!  I’m so excited about my upgrade, and I’ve been having tons of fun practicing and playing with my new toy.  You’ll find me out in my backyard just about every night snapping a million pictures of my kids.  And my tomatoes.  And my cat.  Nothing is safe from my picture taking!

I wanted to get out there and practice on a family asap, and luckily my friend Angela happily agreed to mini session.  She was one of my first practice clients back in December, and we did a mini session in the bluebonnets.  Luckily her kids don’t mind being in front of the camera!  She really wanted to get a good one of all 4 of them (we tried with the bluebonnet mini sessions, but it just didn’t work out.)  I think there are several good ones this time!  They are such a beautiful family, and I am lucky to call them friends.

I love how Brock and Bailey are holding hands in this next one.  So sweet!
