Sweet Baby E | Valley Ranch Newborn Photographer

A while back, I had the joy of photographing my cousin-in-law's new baby girl (this post is incredibly overdue!). She is the second of their sweet girls and boy does she have an impressive head of hair! What a gift she is to this family... may the good Lord bless her always.

The "Gifted" One | Keller Newborn Photography

Look at this bundle of boy! I got to spend some time with him a few weeks ago and once again, I had a little difficulty getting this baby to settle into a deep, drowsy nap. I must not have the magic touch or something! All he wanted to do was eat and pee! I have to say that it made for some funny entertainment for the adults huddled around him, though. He is definitely gifted in the pee-pee department, that's for sure! Anyway, may this little guy and his parents be blessed with joy and love.

I got to spend a little time with this beautiful Yellow Lab pup named Daffodil just a couple of weeks ago and boy did she have a lot of energy! Her sweet human is such a doll and you could just feel the love between the two of them. Woof woof!

Welcome to the world, baby brother! So this is the newest sweet pea who comes from the family in my previous maternity post. As you can see from the pics, he had no interest in napping while I was at their home, visiting. Hahaha! Still... I love the super serious shots I got of this already-charismatic little boy. Of course, I also had fun with his big sis, which just made for yet another awesome shoot with this special family. Best wishes and many blessings to "Mini V" & Co.!

You Asked, I've Spoken | Music

Totally random post. Many of you have told me how much you like my playlist, whether it be by email, by message, comment, via phone, or in person. It always puts a smile on my face because I love spreading the word about things that move me. And good music moves me. So anyway, here are a couple of links that I think some of you might enjoy:

Have a great day!

Expecting Baby Brother | Colleyville Maternity Photographer

I got an "emergency" call a few weeks ago from one of my favorite families because they needed to do their maternity session in a jiffy before going in for an early doctor-ordered c-section to bring "Baby Brother" into the world. Luckily, I was free and was able to meet them just two days before he came.

When I say that they are one of my favorite families, I really mean it. They are so much fun to be around and their sweet girl is just amazing. They're the kind of people who inspire you to try to be a better parent. And this isn't because they're both pediatricians, either. Nope, they're just really good, fun, nurturing parents, and the evidence of this just radiates from the whole family.

Next up: you get to meet "Baby Brother" so stay tuned!
