Our Family Minis sell out every single year and we love that because we love being part of your family's story and watching your babies grow! Plus, your friends and family LOVE seeing your beautiful Christmas cards!
We are offering 2 dates this year in our beautiful, most requested location....our field! {weather permitting, of course!} The October 2nd date will have a bit of a fall theme in our truck but our field is neutral if you don't want a fall theme. November 12th will have more of a winter theme, but again our field is neutral with lots of looks.
Is a 20 minute session long enough? Absolutely! It's amazing how many images we can take of your beautiful family in this short amount of time. It's just enough time for Dad's, they love mini sessions, and wiggly babies.
What's included? 5 DIGITALS. Our digitals normally sell for $1500 so this is quite a savings. Plus, you receive a print release. You can print unlimited prints, up to an 8x10, for friends and family. They make wonderful Christmas gifts! Plus, you can use your digitals to design your Christmas cards (we are happy to help if you like).
Why? Because we love photographing you and we want MOMS, yes you, to be in pictures with your family! It's important. I know! I know! I've heard and given every excuse to not be in pictures. Honestly, I'm still trying to lose my baby weight...and my baby girl is 19 years old (not months)! None of us are guaranteed tomorrow, so being in pictures is important. YOUR family wants to see you in pictures with them! So do it!
What to wear? Gone are the days of everyone having to be perfectly matched. Pick one pattern, maybe two, and build the rest of the outfits around colors that are found in those prints/patterns. If you need an excuse to go shopping, you can totally blame it on your session, but it's really fun to "shop" your closet. I can't tell you how many Christmas cards our family has done with outfits we already had in our closets.
Sign up Now! There are only 6 available sessions for each date! They will sell out, so please don't wait!
***Update: November is sold out!!!
Our 4th Annual Easter Mini Sessions are back! We absolutely LOVE these sessions. We only have 6 available sessions. Please email me today if you would like to reserve your Easter Mini Session. These sessions sell out quickly every year.
Our Cindy Lou Who and her Grinch...he's actually a pretty sweet guy but it matched Hannah's outfit. Ha! They actually had planned to go as a huntress and her trophy buck. But, the buck trophy costume didn't arrive on time. In fact, it has yet to arrive at all. Weird!
So in a feat of last minuteness, I remembered Uncle Tony's Santa Costume and grabbed one of my old Christmas sweaters and the frenzy began. Nathan picked up green face paint and Hannah's fabulous eyelashes at a local costume shop and we started on Hannah's hair.
Hannah's boyfriend had never carved pumpkins before. We had a little fun with him. See the tiny pumpkin above? We convinced him that he had to start small and work his way to the adult sized pumpkins. Ha! We had a real pumpkin waiting for him in the pantry. He was a good sport and carved the tiny pumpkin and the larger one. By the look on his face, I think he was glad to have joined in our competition.
And here they are close up. What a fun night!
These two sweet boys simply made my day. Our oldest daughter was having a really rough day and our baby girl had a lady run right in to the back of her truck. They are both more than fine, thank you Lord, but this momma's heart was a bit frazzled. I was spent!
I'm thankful God is in control of everything because having these two sweet cousins over for their annual Cousin Session was just what I needed. They were full of smiles, giggles, cookie breath, and the sweetest hugs. Mr. C even told me he loved Kiki. Swoon! They are both so much fun and so very precious. What a joy it is to photograph them and to know their beautiful mommies. God is so good!
Seeing our baby girl and some of her fellow students gathering before sunrise to pray together at the High School Flag pole is priceless. Seeking the Lord's guidance and blessing over our school will never fall on deaf ears. He sees, He hears, and He knows....and He was right there in their midst. The Great I Am, King of kings, and Lord of lords! Oh, yes! He was there! What a blessed morning. Did your students gather at their flag poles yesterday morning too? What a blessing!
Our baby girl is a Homecoming Queen Nominee! We are pretty excited and proud but if you ask our baby girl about it she will simply smile and humbly tell you that it is an honor to be selected as a nominee and nothing more....and that makes us even more proud. This is quite a special class of guys and girls and I'm thankful for their strong friendships and that they are really embracing their senior year memories together.
Homecoming is Friday, so we only have a few days to get her homecoming ensemble together. Talk about pressure. Ha!
Our Rachel came home from college this weekend and we were all sooooooooooo happy to see her. Our family of four was reunited and it never felt so good! We have certainly missed having our girls all to ourselves and it was just what this heart of mine needed. My cup was full and I treasured every moment.
Rachel joined her daddy and I on the sidelines Friday night to capture pictures of the football boys and the band. Hannah is the Drum Major for the second year in a row. I turned around for a second to see Rachel saying hello to her sister in the stands. I love this image so much! From a photographer's perspective, it's technically way off, the color balance is off, and it's underexposed big time, but as a mom, it was a moment I didn't want to miss capturing and I treasure it! It shows the special sister relationship our girls are blessed to have and we are blessed to watch. I love the image but love these two daughters of ours even more. What joy is ours to be their parents!
Beautiful girls. That's our Hannah with the long blonde hair and the blue scarf.
And the group with Studly, our old Studebaker truck and the Texas flag:
I couldn't decide between black and white, so I added both.
S'mores. Yes!
A night to remember...delight!
