I had so much FUN shooting this session yesterday afternoon. Baby A could not have been more agreeable. He was all smiles and giggles and sitting up all on his own. But the highlight of the shoot has to be when he got to put on his Halloween costume.

His parents were fabulous as well. Total naturals in front of the camera and up for anything I asked.

J Family, thanks for hanging out with me. Enjoy your sneak peek and rest assured that we got plenty of toothy grins as well.

While I’m on the subject of Trash the Dress, I thought I’d come back and share more of Lauren’s shoot from a while back.

I just love the Spanish style she chose and how her red hair piece, shoes and lips pop against her ivory dress and all of the greenery and stone.

I cannot tell you how excited I’ve been about this shoot! These six women have all been friends since they were kids and even as they have all gone their separate ways over the years - moving to different cities, states and even countries, pursuing education and careers and adding husbands and children to their individual families - you can feel the familiarity and love that emanates from the group when they all manage to get together. They do a girls’ weekend every year and this year they decided to squeeze in a photo shoot among the shopping, dining out, relaxing and laughing.

I cannot imaging a more fabulous way to commemorate a tradition and I had so much fun shooting it and playing around with some fun editing tricks for the sneak peek.

Love this one!

Ladies, I hope that you had a relaxing weekend and enjoyed your shoot as much as I did.

As I drove to this shoot on Sunday morning, looking forward to meeting this adorable toddler and her mama and photographing them in the beautiful Texas hill country, it started to drizzle. I had been looking forward to this shoot for months, so I told myself it would be okay and kept on my way. Then it started to pour. By this time I was almost to their house, so I said a prayer for a break in the downpour and headed on.

It ended up drizzling for most of our shoot, but luckily we had a beautiful house with large windows to work in, a covered pavilion, a mom who was willing to let her sweet girl get a little damp in the name of photography, and a toddler who didn’t mind the weather one bit (except when she got a little mud on her boots).

Ultimately we were able to capture many wonderful moments, so here are just a few:
