Jessica’s Baby Shower!

Well… I spoke too soon.  Isabella has the baby sniffles (feel better soon, Isabella!), so her 3 month images will have to wait until next week.  But, that gives me the perfect opportunity to share a few photos from Jessica’s baby shower!

Jessica is a good friend of mine who, in reality, is probably due to give birth any day now.  I was happy to be able to be a co-host of her shower and the unofficial-official photographer of the festivities.  I just wanted to share a few fun details with all of you (Jess, Anne, and Linda – your discs are coming soon!)

First… some yum yums…

Linda had such an adorable idea… instead of the traditional punch, we had fun bottle drinks with cute straws!

Jessica’s sister, Cheryl, couldn’t be at the shower thanks to the Snowmageddon on the east coast, but she sent his adorable plane made out diapers and baby things!  So cute!  (The baby’s room is an airplane theme)

And finally, Jessica with Linda & Anne (the baby’s grandmothers)!

Yay for Extended Families! :: Plano Family Photographer

I’ve known Abby for a couple of years now – we used to work together – and I was so excited when she e-mailed wanting to do a shoot for her family. Well, the shoot soon grew to include her parents and her brother and sister in law! So much fun! Here are just a few for a sneak peek:

The P Family :: Grapevine Family Photographer

This afternoon was tons of fun with the P Family! It’s not often that I get to photograph a family with 3 adult children. Mama contacted me because she wanted to get family portraits in before their youngest son, Jeff, heads off to basic training for the Army. As you will see, these 5 have lots and lots of personality!

First up, Mama Peggy and her girl, Sunny:

Dad, Scott, wanted to recreate a photo from the past with his boys, John and Jeff:

The whole family (including their cute pooch – it was dog day at DRP!):

A couple of images of the siblings that I think pretty much sum up this shoot:

A Canine Caper :: Dallas Pet Photographer

I’ve known Erin and Caitlyn since birth, so I was super excited when they contacted me for a session! Their session was a little different from my normal one, though. They wanted to get portraits of their pets for their Mom for Christmas. They are definitely an animal loving family and always have big dogs running around the house! So, for today’s session, it was 4 dogs, 1 cat, 4 humans, and about a million treats.

When I walked in, I encountered this pretty kitty trying to stay out of the melee:

Meet Foscoe, who I think has endless energy:

Baker (I promise, girls – I have “normal” photos of Baker too! I just love this one for some reason!)
