Double Header 2

This family holds the record for fastest extended family session! The perfect light, and the energetic, but cooperative young boys made for easy transitions from one location to the next. My sweet assistant (along with mom and dad) did spend a lot of her time wrangling the little ones, but once we had them posed with everyone else, they miraculously stayed put, and were very attentive! This session was part of my donation to The Heartbeat Pregnancy Center this year. Karen thank you for being a part of such a great organization here in Nacogdoches, and for allowing me the pleasure of meeting and photographing your beautiful family!

Double Header

Last Saturday I had two family sessions. It was a perfect day for it too! November really is the perfect time of year for holiday portraits in Nacogdoches. The leaves are lovely colors and the air is brisk and chilly, but not miserably cold.

This first family, is a favorite for many reasons. One of which has a lot to do with their oldest son being born the day after mine and at the same hospital too. I can just imagine Darrell and Jimmy side by side staring in the nursery window in awe of the baby boy they had each been blessed with. Another reason is just their energy! We always have so much fun at our sessions. Jimmy isn't afraid to be silly and just play, and Shannon is so laid back and relaxed. Here are just a few of my favorites. it was so hard to choose! There are so many!

Another Brisk Morning for Portraits!

This young man's grandmother has commissioned me twice now to photograph her grandchildren and she informed me at the session that she has a new one! This is one of the many things I love about my work. I am able to become a small part of their lives. I see children and families grow and change. It's always such a pleasure to see the same family return year after year. I look forward to meeting the new grandbaby 18 months from now (or earlier of course :D ). Now, back to the handsome and energetic young man I had the pleasure of photographing last Saturday. He has such a great personality!

He loves to perform...

Is quite adventurous...

A little dramatic...

but oh so snuggly too.
