Introducing Baby Jack (by his "Aunt" Heather)

I would like to introduce baby Jack! A bit heavy post only because I can't pick my favs. This is the 3rd son for one of my long time best friend Kassy. They live out near Tyler so another BFF (Aunt Nini as Kendyl calls her) and I went out for the day to visit and meet the new little one! My daughter went with us and just LOVED the baby to death. I was afraid to take my eyes off her cause she wanted to hold him the whole time...just like she holds her babies! Not safe...lol! Of course there was not doubt that we would be doing pictures!! Most moms get nervous about taking their babies outside to do pictures but Kassy is a PRO at the mom thing and let me have sooo much fun with him. Of course he was perfect.....was awake at the beginning but still laid very still! Then he drifted off to sleep and stayed that way until we were done! His two older brothers (who ADORE him) did great! They were great sports when it came their time to do pictures. Let me tell you.....to have a picture with my children like you will see below....it just priceless, and prob the last time they will ever be this still! Anyways, to sum it up...the day was perfect, it was great to be able to spend time with some great friends, and we are soooo happy to welcome Jack into this world! Kassy, I hope you enjoy the pictures. There are a lot more...just picked well, my top 10! Hugs and Kisses to all the boys! Add this to my all time fav list!

I think this might be my all time fav picture...just sooo simple and perfect

Tana and Tim's E Session...Unbelievable!!!!

I know I say this every time but I LOVE LOVE LOVE engagement sessions. I don't know if its the excitment in the relationship, the googly eye love you see or the unbelieveable REAL love you see in the couples I meet! The one below has ALL the above for sure! We had a blast during their session. Tana and Tim, you guys are a great couple and I wish you all the best. Have a great time in Florida at your wedding! I can't wait to see you guys again.....when its baby time!! Congrats you guys!

Sunflowers and baby girl!

Check out this baby girl!! We had so much fun out in the pasture...she pretty much slept right thru it all!!! So much fun!!! More nature babies to come soon!

~The D Family.....including Zorro!~

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July Weekend! I know my family and I did!! Here is a quick sneak peek from last weeks session! It was a lot of fun...and hot! Some great pictures coming mom.....everyone did so great...even Zorro the dog! I will have the CD in the mail in the next few days!! Can't wait to see you guys again..maybe in the winter we can take that hike!! :)

Happy Birthday Mr. K!

Happy Birthday Mr. K!! Mom was worried we would not get any smiles but surprise..surprise~ I think we got a few! The surprising part of the session was the Smashtime. Its funny....we teach our children the first year of their life NOT to play with their food...then when they turn one we put a cake in front of them and we hope they will get all messy and have fun. He kept looking at us like..."I'm NOT supposed to do this!"....it was too cute. In the end, we got some cute pictures of him playing in the cake...and then the dirt..YUMMY! It was a great session. Thanks you guys and hope to see you again soon!

Look at this expression.....how cute he is????!!!!

Pouts & Pettiskirt = Adorable!

Sneak Peek for Bonnie!! Talk about some fun kiddos to work with...and super adorable too! We had fun just hanging out! We did end up with some pout pictures but atleast they were while she was dressed up in the pretty skirt! Makes for some cute pictures! Once mommy pulled the lollipop out...it was all smiles from there! I had a blast guys...thanks for coming out and making my morning! Enjoy the pictures!
