After a great morning at the park with the kids, I got to come home and play with more of the images from yesterday's White Sale at the studio.

Cassie is another little girl who I have been photographing since she was a newborn.  Look at her now!

She loved my ladder too.  In fact, we tried to dress her up in one of these funny tutus that I have but she soon found out that she couldn't get up the ladder with it on and promptly told us "off, OFF!" .  You have to appreciate a girl who isn't going to let clumsy wardrobe get in her way of what she wants to do.

She even blew kisses at me! 

This is one of those crazy smiles.  She was so excited because we were all applauding her as she got to the top of the ladder.

At this point she got tired of me.  We had put her in a smaller tutu than the previous one and she set out to work.  She went and got every single one of my little prop chairs and created this...

After Cassie's visit, it was Lonan's turn.  I asked him to see me his sad face and look at this!  I love it.

Sad didn't last long though!

Don't you just love this hat?! 

At the end of the day, I was visited by The Roldan girls.  They were really happy about the tutus that I have and went straight for them!  It's so funny watching 2nd children- they want to do whatever the older one does.  The little sister here would watch and then imitate.  It was sweet.  Finn is that way too.  He is always wanting to do everything that Sayer does and gets so upset when he finds something that he can't do.

That's almost it for the first day of the White Sale.  I have a few more but you'll have to wait for another post.  We still have a few openings for the next White Sale day!  Give us a call if you are interested in booking a spot, (713) 255-2882. 

Now I am off to go be Padmei and Sayer is going to be Obi Wan Kenobi.  I have been informed that we have battle droids in the living room (103 and a 1000 of them to be exact).  Looks like we have lots of battling to do.  Happy Sunday everyone! 

Today we had a promotion at the studio called The White Sale.  We did free 30 minute sessions all day- all shot on a white background.  We had so much fun.  I took so many images today that I am going to spread them out over a few blog entries.  Here's a little bit of the cuteness...

The Turner Kids- They brought in their loveys.  His is named Pretzel and hers is Baby.

Like boys do sometimes...when asked to give his sister a hug, he squeezed her way too hard.  Sometimes it's not all smiles at the photo studio.

Look at the stars and stripes outfit! 

This little guy was so shy when he first came in.  It took a while to get him warmed up to the whole picture thing but we got some nice big smiles eventually. 

He loved my old ladder.  That thing is such a lifesaver! 

The other thing that he loved was when his Mom put on some of the hats that we have at the studio.  He thought that was hilarious!  I always laugh at the things we all do to get a great picture of our kids.

I think this is one of my favorite pictures from the whole day!  These little guys were lots of fun.  They liked my silly jokes and banter and had a great time during the shoot.  I love that. 

You know I love the silly faces! 

I love the laughing face too. 

This is such a nice shot of his face, such a handsome guy! 

Brotherly love at its finest!

Like these images?  We have a few more slots open for our 2 White Sale days in May (Friday May 2nd and Saturday May 3rd).  The session is complimentary and you get a free 5x7!  If you donate a cute hat to the studio, we'll upgrade your 5x7 to an 8x10!  Give us a call (713-255-2882) and book yours soon! 

Thanks everyone!  I have so many more so I'll be posting them over the next few days.  Stay tuned! 

I have been photographing Lisle since he was only a few weeks old.  He is one of my First Year Collection babies.  We are going to make a Storybook Album out of all of his sessions from the year (you can see an example of one of those books on my website).  Anyway, back to Lisle's cuteness...

Look at this face, joyous isn't it?

He's right on the edge of babyhood and boyhood.  He still has that round baby face, the little teeth and the wispy baby hair.  I hated seeing that go with my son, Sayer.  Don't get me wrong, boyhood is awesome too but it's hard to let go of that sweet baby face.

It is such a cool thing to see a family grow up together.  I feel privileged to do what I do.  Thanks Stacy and Lisle!

I just finished working on this image for a recent maternity client.  I love it!  She's considering doing this as a gallery wrapped canvas for her nursery.  I love taking images like this and creating wall art for nurseries.  Isn't it amazing to think about how much has changed regarding women and how we celebrate our pregnancies in our generation?  My Mom and I talk about what it was like for her when she was pregnant and having children.  She's always marveling at how much "cool stuff" we have now!    Trends do come and go but I am happy to see that the maternity photography trend is still here and going strong.

Nurseries and children's rooms are great places to hang larger images.  I have these new frames at the studio by Paige Pea that look great in children's rooms.  They are colorful and sort of "shabby chic" and look really amazing in larger wall groupings.  If you'd like to see the frames in person just give us a call and we'd be happy to show them off to you.

These 2 little boys came in to see me today and brought their super cute lab puppy, Shipley.  Little Luke was all smiles.  His brother took a little time to warm up to me...I was a bit suspect at first.  Finally in the end I got him to crack some smiles.  It's all about finding that one thing that makes them laugh.  In this case, it was tickling his brother and his Mom.

Look at Luke!  I love this stage.  He is sitting well but not yet crawling away from me and it makes for some awesome shots.  They are full of great expressions at this age too and their personalities really start to come out.

This expression just cracks me up! 

All 3 boys, Luke, Shipley and Jack

Jack, he has such a cute smile.

The boys thought it was hilarious when I would take the ostrich feather that I have and try and get their Mom with it as she sat behind me...whatever works to get those big natural smiles!  Thanks Amanda for playing along!
