If I’m being honest, driving out to their home tonight, I was soooooooo tired. I had my head buried in paperwork all day long and I was afraid I wasn’t going to be able to muster the energy needed for 3 bubbly kiddos. But from the *second* she opened the door, I instantly felt like I was exactly where I was supposed to be. I just knew we were going to have a great time tonight. And we did!!! Erin…I’m so thankful to know you and your family and I hereby promise (in public) that we *will* have a playdate before another year goes by!

we spoke on the phone, I knew I was going to love this family. They way mom described her children and how she wanted to capture this time in their lives…everything she was saying was right up my alley. Upon actually meeting them and visiting in their home, I became so overwhelmed with all of the inspiration…my mind was spinning that afternoon. I didn’t leave until well after dark. I love sessions like that.

After a week of setbacks and sickness, it’s been nice to stay in and hang with the kids. T-man decided that we didn’t have enough to keep track of in this house and introduced two new frogs/toads (there is debate) to our zoo. Logs has been practicing for his upcoming recital and I’m so proud of him for finding something that’s *all his* for a change. The littlest Anderson has decided that she enjoys cooking and has become a huge help (not really) in the kitchen. And yes, those are mealworms next to the wine on the counter. Welcome to my home.

and appreciate how much time is actually put into a session–before, during, and after. In looking through these, I know how each image is special for it’s own reasons. And then when you think that these are only a handful of the images that have been created so far this year–not just by me, but by every other person who owns a camera–wow! This digital age is truly something beyond comprehension!

I’d say these went a *little* better than last year.
[Before anyone asks: If you want to find a good spot for bluebonnet pictures, I’m sorry, but there is no magic answer. You *have* to put in the time to drive around. It really depends on safety (ie. not two feet from the highway), the time of day, weather, and many other factors. So be brave and get out there and look around. I did.]

1. I’ve worked hard to incorporate true lifestyle (well, as close to true lifestyle as is possible) photography in my family photo sessions simply because when I look through my own personal pictures, those are the images that I’m drawn to most.
2. We didn’t know it at the time, but that sweet baby girl was battling some kind of awful sickness that landed her in the hospital for a bit. She’s all recovered now, but poor thing…I can’t believe she put up with the session in spite of her not feeling well. I look forward to getting to work with her again when she’s her normal, happy self.
3. Her mommy has the.best.hair.ever. She’s better than a Breck girl.

April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month. One way you can help young victims of abuse and neglect is through a CASA program. If you are in TX, you can locate your local CASA program here. Nationally, more information can be found here. (The above images were from some work I did for Texas CASA last fall.)

1. To say the light and location were amazing would be an understatement.
2. I *almost* lost my camera in the water.
3. It is so refreshing when I get the chance to work with older children like this.

Okay, I’ve just now realized I’m never going to catch up on 2010 blog posts if I keep going at my current pace, so I introduce you to speed blogging which will combine 1) lots of pics and 2) three quick notes about each session. Let’s see how this works for me…
1. LOVED this family’s sense of style (the playroom was amazing!)
2. The guitar playing made my heart melt.
3. The way big sister actually paid attention to her baby sister was quite impressive.

Gosh. Looking back through these images to blog, this really does seem like a LONG time ago. They sure make family sessions look really easy, too! Big brother was a hoot…be sure to go all the way to the end to see one of my most favorite family portraits ever 😉
