Raeleigh Jo

2012-01-05T15:08:00.001-06:00

_________________________________________________

Under the circumstances I think I got some great shots of baby Raeleigh Jo! Rainy weather, no enough light, and a sad baby were ever present, but I think mommy and grandma are going to be surprised!Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and a happy New Year! Enjoy!

Merry Christmas...again!

2011-12-23T00:03:00.000-06:00

The holidays are certainly different when you have a child! I'm grateful that I get to spend my fourth Christmas with this girl....she is my reason for the season! How could I ask for anything more?

Merry Christmas!

___________________________________________

I'm usually on top of things, especially when it comes to taking pics of my daughter. As she gets older though she's expressing her opinion much, much more, so it's harder to get her out the door! For example, she ALWAYS has an opinion about what she wears. This dress she says is "tooooo redddd." (I know, you're saying, "but it's in black and white...well...color pics are coming soon). She does not want anything in her hair nor does she want it pulled up, or back, or any other way for that matter! In the end I won the fight for the dress and she won for the hair. It's times like these that I will remember. I have to give in at times...I want her to know that her opinion matters and it's important for her to know that it's ok for her to HAVE an opinion. However, when it comes to posing for the camera, she knows that MY opinion is the only one that counts :) She's a good girl.

JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes

2011-11-29T20:37:00.001-06:00

__________________________________________________

I was so excited to shoot the JDRF walk to cure diabetes for the second time! Last year was so much fun and I'm so grateful I got asked again! This is a huge event to raise money for juvenile diabetes. Although I'm not sure about the numbers for this year, I know it is well over 1 million dollars!

Lauren & Shawn are Married!

2011-11-20T22:54:00.000-06:00

_________________________________________________
The best part of being a photographer, besides being able to make your own schedule, is meeting such great people! Yes, they are my clients, but when the jobs done I consider them friends. I loved meeting and working with Lauren & Shawn. Their laid-back wedding was fun, filled with emotion and overall just a sweet and simple occasion. I loved being a part of it. Congrats to Lauren & Shawn and I wish them a lifetime of happiness!

A HUGE thank you to Bethany from BQ images for second-shooting with me and for keeping me calm! Thanks Bethany...I hope we can work together again!

Jackie & Kenyon: Wedding Sneak Peak!

2011-10-19T02:03:00.000-05:00

____________________________________________________

I wouldn't be lying if I said that Jackie has the most infectious smile I have EVER seen! I've never seen someone light up a room as she did on her wedding day! Kenyon is a lucky man! :) Congrats to Jackie and Kenyon and wishing you both health and happiness!More pics to come!!

Side note: A very BIG thank you to Kelly Garvey Photography for second-shooting with me! I had so much fun working with you and look forward to doing it again!!

Angela & Tony: Maternity

2011-09-26T10:53:00.001-05:00

________________________________________________

I am so happy for my friends Angela and Tony! Baby boy Bennett will be here soon and I know Angela is ready....more ready for the pregnancy to be over, really! Good luck to them as they face the challenges and joys of parenthood... and they will wonder, "why didn't I do this sooner?"

Seema & Zak: Engaged!

My daughter, the poser!

___________________________________________

I know...looking at this picture you're probably thinking that I posed my daughter this way! However, I DID NOT! This was all her!! We were in the hill country down by the river and I caught her playing in the sand posed like this! I was in awe! As soon as I snapped it I knew I had an awesome picture! So unexpected and so natural!

Beautiful Bluebonnets

Freestone Family

2011-01-20T12:26:00.000-06:00

_____________________________________________________

This was one of the most laid-back families I have ever shot! Thank you to the Freestone's for making my job sooo easy and sooo fun! Even though this was the first time I met this family, I felt like I had known them for years! I look forward to working with them again!!

Christmas is coming!

Junvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Walk

2010-12-11T00:54:00.000-06:00

________________________________________________

I'm posting these images a little late, but I really wanted to show how big of an event the JDRF's walk is for those that do not know. I also wanted to commend all of the people who put this event on and volunteer every year!

I was really excited to shoot this on a very cold November morning. Before the walk even started the foundation had already raised $1 million dollars! I felt very honored to be there and happy to have been asked to take part!

The Reserves at the Fountains

________________________________________________________

I was so excited when I got the opportunity to shoot something other than people- not that there is something wrong with people, but getting people to smile and pose naturally can get hard sometimes. It was nice to get away from that and try my hand at something different. I hope this is the start of something new for me! My dream, however, is to do food photography! Know of a chef interested in writing a book?

Gabriel

2010-09-19T23:57:00.000-05:00

_______________________________________________________

I haven't posted in a while because i've been spending lots of time with Maya! I do have tons of pictures to post from our vacation to California and Arizona, but I find myself wanting to spend less time in front of the computer. Can you forgive me? I have a three year old that is growing up so fast and I don't want to miss a thing!

Here are some images from a shoot I did in August. This handsome little guy is Gabriel. His mother and I went to high school together and reconnected through Facebook! I had a great time capturing his many expressions and following him all around! Enjoy!

It's a beautiful sunny day!

2010-05-10T18:18:00.000-05:00

____________________________________________________________

When the sun is shining Maya always says, "Mommy, it's a beautiful sunny day!" I love it when she tells me this. She doesn't know it, but she is teaching me lessons about life, to see the brighter side of things and to not take everything so seriously. It makes me so happy and thankful to have her in my life. Everyday with her is a beautiful sunny day!

Addison - 6 months

2010-03-12T14:42:00.000-06:00

________________________________________________

It's amazing how fast babies grow! Baby Addison is now 6 months old and full of personality! She is quite the poser too!

Maya and I spent a weekend with Addison and her mother, Mary, in the beautiful hill country in Austin! We relaxed, ate and talked about how our babies were going to be best friends for life just like the two of us!

Here are some shots of Addison from the weekend! More pics of Maya and Addison together to follow!

My favorite!

Sapna

2010-03-01T16:51:00.002-06:00

Here are some images of my beautiful cousin, Sapna.

Phoenix Harper

2010-02-01T23:12:00.004-06:00

_________________________________________________

This was probably one of the quickest shoots I've had. 5 month old Phoenix was willing to do whatever I wanted in a short amount of time! He sat up all by himself for the first time during our session too! What a great documentation of a milestone.

His father, James and I have known each other since childhood. James' sister, Mary, is my best friend who is mom to Addsion...I've blogged about her a couple of times on here. SO, Phoenix and Addison are cousins AND are only 3 days apart! How cool is that?

It's always exciting to see friends with new babies, but not so exciting to realize we are getting older! LOL!

Paul-Senior Portraits

2010-01-12T13:58:00.002-06:00

____________________________________________________

Paul is all grown up! I've known him since he was a toddler, so seeing him this way makes me feel really old! I remember him being a very active kid-jumping, climbing, bouncing and staying up all night long! He has changed since those days but one thing that has remained the same is his smile :). Not very many people smile with their eyes, but Paul does, without even knowing it! It's the same smile he had as a young boy and the one that I tried to capture in these images...

There's that smile!

3 minutes at the park

2010-01-07T15:48:00.002-06:00

__________________________________________________

The cold weather has kept us indoors, but today I decided to brave it and take Maya outside! She's content with playing inside, but sometimes I feel like she needs to feel the wind...however, today was not a good day! Even though the sun was out it was blisteringly COLD! Where is this weather coming from?

I didn't last long...3 minutes and two passes down the slide for Maya was all I could take! She acted like it was a warm sunny day and didn't let a little wind and chill phase her. Ahhh....to be a kid again!

My oh my, time is flying by...

2009-11-17T11:19:00.002-06:00

____________________________________________________

I know! I keeping on dwelling on how time is just passing by. I've realized that having a child makes time go by so much faster. In a way it's good and in a way not. Maya is almost 2 1/2 years old. I really cannot believe that I have had my child for that long. It feels like just yesterday I was feeding her sweet potatoes from a jar and bathing her in the kitchen sink.

Look at that smile! This is how I will always remember her....happy-go-lucky, not a care in the world, being content with riding in the back seat looking at the birds outside. I wish her to be like this... always.

Christine-Glamour

2009-10-21T23:20:00.002-05:00

__________________________________________________________

I absolutely love this set of images of Christine, whom I have shot before along with her adorable daughter, Jocelyn. There is another boudoir set but we will keep those private....you need to leave SOMETHING to the imagination!

I really think that women should do something like this once in their life! Christine had been contemplating it for a while and I'm so happy she felt comfortable with me and trusted me to do it! I think the images have come out gorgeous! Christine looks stunning and I know that she felt beautiful while shooting!

Thanks, Christine!

My absolute FAV!!!

Addison again @ 5 weeks

2009-10-08T22:21:00.002-05:00

___________________________________________________________

I visited Addison again a couple of weeks ago in San Antonio. It's unbelievable how much babies change in 5 weeks! She's a very sweet, content and happy baby.

Maya enjoyed helping with feeding and entertaining her. She had the most fun breaking in Addison's books and her block set! She wanted to make sure everything was up to par for baby Addison!

Here are some images I caught while I was there!

Singin' In the Rain!

2009-09-23T22:26:00.002-05:00

___________________________________________________________

Maya got a Dora umbrella a few weeks ago and couldn't wait to use it! Unfortunately, it had not rained.....until yesterday! When she heard the rain she immediately went in her room and found her umbrella! She was so excited to finally get to use it! I, of course, had to document it! AND-it was not a coincidence that she had on a Dora shirt! You'd think she liked Dora or something!

Angela-Bridals continued!

2009-09-19T12:28:00.002-05:00

_____________________________________________________________

Here is the complete set of bridal portraits I shot of Angela! Angela and Nimesh are getting married TODAY in Lake Tahoe! Congrats to them and best wishes for a great life together! Can't wait for the babies!

I shot this one when it was almost dark! A little grainy, but overall....i LOVE it!

27 months

2009-09-15T18:14:00.002-05:00

____________________________________________________________

Not that 27 months is a milestone or anything, but Maya is 27 months old today! For me, it's hard to believe that I have had her for that long...time is flying by very quickly. I sometimes feel it is going by too fast for my taste!

I'm trying to capture as much as I can, let her do and feel as much as she can and experience all that life has to offer. I hope that some of her memory stays with her from this time in her life. Maybe one day when she's 18 something in her memory will trigger and she will remember that time when "Mom made me wear this awful red dress with a bandana on my head and took me outside to take my picture....I remember doing everything possible to try NOT to look at the camera!"

Introducing...

Addison Taylor Green!
August 19, 2009

Mary had her baby! Both mother and daughter are doing well! I was lucky enough to see her on her birthday and get these great shots of the little cutie! She's got a full head of hair and is rockin' a mohawk! It's the new do for 2010....she's so fashion forward!

Congrats to Mary and Bryan!

Bridal Teaser

2009-09-07T23:29:00.003-05:00

___________________________________________________________

I'm only posting some detail shots of this bride because she will be gettting married this week in Lake Tahoe! Just in case the groom decides to check out my blog (I highly doubt it, though!) I won't post the rest until after the wedding!

I had a blast shooting these! And a big, big thank you to my assistant....you know who you are! :)

Lisa & Bhavin-Maternity Teaser

2009-08-27T19:08:00.003-05:00

___________________________________________________________

This teaser is for Lisa because she just couldn't wait to see the pics!

I've only posted SOME....not all! I will post more later!!

The shot below is one of my favorite shots I've done! I love everything about it!

Jen-Boudoir

2009-07-30T19:45:00.002-05:00

____________________________________________________________

Remeber when I blogged these?

Well....I am FINALLY able to post the rest!

Jen and Bruce were married on July 11 in San Antonio. These were a surprise for Bruce on the wedding day, so I couldn't post....I wouldn't want to be the one to ruin the surprise!!

CONGRATS to Jen and Bruce!

My girl, My dress

2009-07-10T20:15:00.002-05:00

____________________________________________________________

I always knew my mom saved this dress that belonged to me when I was 2. It was kind of odd to see a dress that belonged to me, especially seeing how small I was! I have pictures of me in the dress too and loved looking at them!

When my daughter was born my mom brought the dress back out from a box that had been up in her closet. I was so excited to know that she too was going to be able to wear my dress, but in my mind I was thinking it was going to take forever before I actually saw her in it! I never knew that 2 years would fly by so quickly.

Here she is in her mother's retro polyester green dress!! Don't you just love it?

Jocelyn & Christine

2009-07-10T00:33:00.002-05:00

_________________________________________________________

When Christine e-mailed me and graciously asked me to shoot her daughter, Jocelyn again....I immediately jumped at the chance! I was happy to shoot the cute and adorable Jocelyn and was thankful Christine liked my work enough to ask me to do it again!

The first time I shot Jocelyn was this past November. The weather was perfect! However, when we recently shot again this past month the weather was less than perfect! Anyone that knows Houston knows that summer weather can be unbearable! This was one of those days! Poor Jocelyn did not last very long, but we made up for it by taking some beautiful shots of Christine!

Mary-Maternity

2009-07-08T22:40:00.004-05:00

__________________________________________________________

I first shot Mary on Mother's Day, appropriately! She recently came down to Houston from San Antonio one last time before baby is born. We decided to document her pregnancy once again! She looks beautiful and is positively glowing! I can't wait for Addison Taylor's arrival!

I said goodbye to Mary knowing that the next time I see her she will be a mother!

Happy Birthday!

2009-07-04T15:36:00.003-05:00

__________________________________________________________

I'm a little late posting this, but better late than never! Maya turned 2 on June 15! She tried so hard to blow out the candles on her cake....I eventually had to help her! Check out the look on her face after the candles were blow out!

Nimesh & Angela~Engaged!

2009-06-30T00:23:00.002-05:00

Shot these in Las Vegas!

Sarah-Bridal

2009-06-25T11:06:00.003-05:00

_________________________________________________________

My first bridal shoot! Phew!

I was lucky enough to have a very cooperative and humble client for my first bridal shoot! Sarah agreed to everything I asked! She was not afraid to do anything and I thank her for that! Her dress is absolutely gorgeous and from the few hours I spent with her I could tell that it totally fit her personality!

Best Wishes to you Sarah! I will be thinking about you this Saturday when you walk down the aisle and start your new life with Josh!

With Josh's guitar!

My new friend, Tiffany

2009-06-20T00:14:00.002-05:00

_______________________________________________________

I met a new friend while in Las Vegas.

Her name is Tiffany.

She's nice, pretty,

and petite.

She assured me she would help me when I'm sad.

All I have to do is look down and she will be there. No questions asked!

Thank you, Tiffany. I'm so happy to meet you...

Maya turns 2!

The best 2 years of my life!

Boudoir Teaser

2009-06-06T21:48:00.003-05:00

____________________________________________________________

Haven't posted in a while! I've been busy...which I have to say is a good thing! I do have more pics of Maya to post, however, I wanted to show some shots of a boudoir session I did this past week! This was my first boudoir shoot and I think I did pretty good!

"J" was a dream to work with! She pretty much gave me full reign and trusted everything I did which I totally appreciated! She was also gracious enough to let me post these pictures!

Here are just a few....more to come!!! Enjoy!

<<

Almost 2

2009-05-15T00:32:00.002-05:00

____________________________________________________________

I CANNOT believe my baby is almost 2! I still remember when I used to hold her in my arms and feed her from a bottle....now she will barely let me hold her for 2 seconds! Sometimes I wish she was still drinking from a bottle just so I can hold her.

I have two friends who are having babies within the next few months. My advice to them....cherish, love, enjoy, and try to remember every moment you have with your baby.....as the cliche' saying goes....it goes by so fast! UGH! I used to hate it when everybody told me that two years ago! Now here I am passing the same advice on! Let me give MY own advice.....take LOTS and LOTS of pictures! Document everything because that is all you will have besides your memory. And if your memory is like mine, then you will be searching deep within to try to remember her the way she WAS...

Mary

2009-05-10T15:31:00.002-05:00

____________________________________________________________
Mary is my best, oldest and dearest friend! We grew up together since the age of 2! People tell me that it is very rare to still be friends with people for that long, but Mary and I think that is pure nonsense! She is one person that I know will be in my life forever!

Mary is expecting her first child (a girl!) in late August! Maya and I cannot wait! We are anxiously awaiting her arrival!

We did a quick shoot today...appropriately on Mother's Day! Welcome to the club, Mary!

Happy Mother's Day!

2009-05-10T00:16:00.001-05:00

____________________________________________________________
I am so happy to be part of the club!

Like Granddaughter, Like Grandmother

2009-05-09T16:14:00.006-05:00

Don't they look alike?

My mom is very proud of the fact that Maya has her eyes!

Happy Mother's Day to my mom and all moms everywhere!

My cupcake

2009-04-19T19:07:00.002-05:00

Do you think Maya is going to hate having her picture taken later on in life? I sure hope not! I think I have the best subject to practice on!

Egg Hunt

2009-04-18T15:51:00.008-05:00

____________________________________________________________

This was the first Easter Maya was able to hunt for eggs. Last year she was only 10 months old AND she was sleeping! Once she saw what the other kids were doing, she got the hang of it and filled her basket with eggs! She was so excited! She wasn't in the best of moods starting out because of her hurt lip, but that all changed once she started the hunt!

She has also learned how to climb this tree we have in our front yard. She'll climb up it and just stand there are look around! It's the cutest thing!

Helping her Ba (grandma) plant flowers!

Sugar

2009-04-12T21:25:00.007-05:00

____________________________________________________________

Hope everyone had a great Easter! Our day started off rainy then Maya fell and hurt her lip and was not in the mood to do anything. Poor baby was shocked from her horrendous fall! I was just as shocked from all the blood! :(

Because of the gloomy, rainy weather, we thought that we'd have to do our easter egg hunt indoors, but lo and behold, just as I said in my previous post.....HOUSTON WEATHER IS UNPREDICTIBLE! The sun was shining by late afternoon and we had a wonderful late lunch with neighbors and the kids really enjoyed their hunt AND Maya was a happy girl once again!

Anyways, here was my contribution to Easter lunch.....egg basket cupcakes! I got this idea from a blog I frequent. The lady in charge goes by the name Bakerella (bakerella.com) Go and check out her stuff. She does AMAZING things with cakes, icing and candy!

Don't they look yummy....AND sweet!

Eyeing the goods!

More pictures from our day to follow!

Happy Easter!

2009-04-12T00:37:00.005-05:00

____________________________________________________________

Maya had so much fun decorating Easter eggs! Mommy had fun taking pictures! ;)

Spring

2009-04-11T16:20:00.005-05:00

____________________________________________________________

I love this time of year. Although, Houston weather is severely unpredictable! Some days it's rainy, some cold, some unbearably hot and others, like today, perfect!

Maya and I take advantage of perfect days like this! We have to because we don't know what tomorrow will bring!

Elena

2009-03-30T00:59:00.006-05:00

____________________________________________________________

Elena and I were friends in college. We met while working in a shoe store. Unfortunately we lost touch about 4 to 5 years ago but were reunited through Myspace! Today was the first time we got to see each other after so very long! Too long if you ask me!

Elena is a budding photographer in her own right! We decided to spend the day together to shoot each other and give each other pointers and ideas! We had so much fun being silly and being on the other side of the camera! The best part of the whole day was getting to talk to Elena! We chatted like we were never even apart for that long! It was like we picked up where we left off!

I'm looking forward to hanging out again, Elena!

Hodge Podge

2009-03-22T21:42:00.004-05:00

____________________________________________________________

Maya spent her first time in a hotel last week. Since we were not home, I let her get away with wayyyyy too much! She got to jump on the bed, watch too much T.V., go to bed at a late hour, and run up and down the hotel halls! All in all, she had THE time of her life!

The first three pictures are taken in the hotel room. The lighting in there was fantastic! I knew I had to seize the moment!

The other three are from today! My baby LOVES strawberries and LOVES saying "Cheese" with a mouth full of food!

Enjoy!

Is anybody out there?

2009-03-17T22:30:00.002-05:00

____________________________________________________________

Just wondering if anyone looks at my blog! Can you post a comment if you do?! It can be about anything. Just let me know someone is out there ;)

Boo Boo

2009-03-17T22:15:00.005-05:00

____________________________________________________________

Maya scrapped her knees today for the first time...I guess that's what we get since I dressed her in shorts! But the weather was beautiful today...shorts were a must!

She was trying to get her ball from underneath the car and scooted with her knees. Poor thing! She quickly realized it wasn't like being on carpet. That's when the crying began :( She quickly ran and laid on the swing and began to pout, but her pout quickly turned into a smile....she loves it when her mommy crosses her eyes!

Maya

2009-03-16T21:57:00.004-05:00

____________________________________________________________

Here she is...yet again! She is growing up so fast. I can't believe how time flies!

I love capturing all of her expressions! She amazes me with how many she has!

Enjoy! ;)

Gower & Luca

2009-02-28T14:52:00.005-06:00

____________________________________________________________

I had the pleasure of photographing Gower and his daughter, Luca at their beautiful home. Under the circumstances (I won't go into detail ) I think we got some great shots! Actually, at the time I was hoping and praying that we would get the shots....I guess it worked!

And yes, I was in LOVE with their front door!

Jocelyn

2009-02-23T22:05:00.002-06:00

I had so much fun shooting Jocelyn on two different occasions! She reminds me of my daughter, Maya! They are both busy bodies and always on the move! Glad I was able to get some decent shots....I mean, i've had practice! :)

Wagon Ride

2009-02-19T23:11:00.003-06:00

Maya and I spent a few days out in the country and we found this wagon and locomotive across the street from where we were staying. I knew that when I saw them I had to take her there to get some shots!

Check out the flag on top of the antique locomotive!

My Valentine

2009-02-19T12:43:00.002-06:00

Maya and I spent our Valentine's basking in the sun! What a lovely way to spend the day with the one I love!

Chuck E. Cheese

2009-01-24T15:41:00.002-06:00

So, my friend Rowena and I took our kiddos to Chuck E. Cheese for the first time! It was Isaiah's 1st birthday and Rowena wanted to do something fun on his actual birthday (his party was the next day.) So, we decided to try it out and head to Chuck E. Cheese!

The kids absolutely LOVED it!

Hangin' Out

2009-01-11T21:15:00.002-06:00

Today was a gorgeous day! I'm so lucky to be able to do what I love. Photography is my passion, my hobby, my enjoyment, my release. Never does it feel like a job.

Maya and I played outside on this sunny Sunday. She let me snap some pics of her and her many expressions!

Enjoy!

Happy New Year

2009-01-02T23:27:00.003-06:00

Happy 2009!! Time seems to be flying by quicker ever since I've had Maya. I guess it's because I'm having so much fun with her! In this, the New Year, I look forward to watching her grow, live, and experience life. Most of all, I look forward to seeing life through her eyes!

Here are some images from an outing we had to the Lufkin zoo! We were so lucky that there was hardly anyone there! Maya was able to run around on her own and I was able to enjoy being with her without being worried. She absolutely LOVED every minute of it! She was chasing around the peacocks and saying "HI" and "BYE" to all the animals!

The Demmon Family

2008-12-31T17:24:00.002-06:00

Yeah! Two posts in one day!! I'm on a roll...

This was a great session with a fun family! I love just caputuring families where they feel the most comfortable....their homes! It really does make a difference in how people interact with one another. If they are comfortable with their surroundings it show in the final images and I think the Demmon's are proof of this.

The Sokol Family

2008-12-31T11:19:00.004-06:00

Please excuse me....I haven't blogged in a while! Since today is New Years Eve, I think I will make a resolution to blog atleast every week...or maybe every other week! No...I'll try every week! But does anybody even look at my blog?

Here are images from a session I did sometime ago. Enjoy!

My baby is growing up

2008-12-07T00:34:00.003-06:00

Here she is...yet again! I was really lucky to get these shots. My girl CANNOT sit (or stand) still! She's constantly on the move. And as soon as I bring my camera up to my eye she darts, looks away and never looks back!

Maya

2008-11-11T23:03:00.002-06:00

Sometimes I feel that my daughter is an old soul. The picture of her with the sunglasses on makes me think that even more ;)

Website

Yeah!! I'm so excited!! I finally have a website! Please visit

Jen & Bruce--Engaged!

I was so excited to shoot Jen & Bruce! They are a great couple....and a photogenic one too!!! Isn't Jen gorgeous?

Butterflies

2008-08-28T23:33:00.005-05:00

I took Maya to the butterfly exhibit at the science museum where I got these great shots!! It was such a peaceful and relaxing place to be!! Maya loved it! She even sat down and watched the butterflies flutter around. Those of you that know her know that sitting down in one place for longer than two minutes is a great feat for her. I guess I found something that has captured her attention! ;)

I've been a little behind on the posts...sorry! I'm going to try to play catch-up. Enjoy these senior pics of Nikesh!

Gosh, I love her!!!

Holly, Joe & Baby Emma

2008-06-21T22:51:00.005-05:00

High school sweethearts, Holly and Joe are anxiously awaiting the arrival of their baby girl, Emma Kay. I had the pleasure of documenting their last few weeks before she enters the world and before their life, as they know it, will drastically change!

They are such a cute couple and I had a lot of fun photographing them! They have also designed a room fit for a princess! Emma Kay is going to love it! Can't wait to meet her!

Thanks to Kellie for her help! ;)

Stepping Out

2008-06-13T00:35:00.008-05:00

One thing about Maya is that she is very, very careful and extremly cautious. She's able to walk, but still takes her time and likes to feel things out when she comes upon a road block. This series of shots was taken today. I opened the door and went outside thinking Maya would follow...however, there was a big step. She immediately stopped and tried to figure out how she was going to step out! She tried many, many times and in a variety of ways.....finally...she became brave and just went for it! She's a bold and daring girl!!!

"I did it mommy!!!"

Sapna

2008-04-01T23:14:00.003-05:00

I had the pleasure of photographing my beautiful cousin, Sapna, and her equally beautiful friend, Jenna for their senior portraits! The day was almost perfect....it was very windy, but I guess that made for a great "wind-blown hair" look! LOL!

More of who I love ;)

2008-03-28T22:38:00.001-05:00

More of Kathi, Morgan & Tucker

2008-03-10T22:18:00.003-05:00

Here are more images from my day with Kathi and her boys! I love the shots I got in their game room! The natural lighting in there was amazing!

Posers

2008-03-07T22:56:00.003-06:00

Check out Stoney the dog and Tigger the cat. What a pair! Stoney looks mean, but is the complete opposite. Tigger looks friendly, but he's the complete opposite! Go figure!

I do have to admit, though....they were my best subjects. No complaining, no noise and they knew their best angle ;)

Insects

2008-02-26T22:06:00.006-06:00

Not only do I take pictures for a living, but I also do it as a hobby. Essentially, I am ALWAYS taking pictures and I ALWAYS have my camera!

Here are some shots from my "hobby folder." ;) Enjoy!

Look closely at this one:

Maya's new friend

2008-01-25T12:24:00.000-06:00

I had to include this one on here because I think it's the cutest picture! Maya was so curious about this cat, Tigger. She tried touching him and even pulled his tail one time, but Tigger liked Maya only from afar!

My Girl

2008-01-16T00:35:00.000-06:00

My daughter, Maya. Just a few images from my collection.

Kathi, Morgan & Tucker

2008-01-14T18:17:00.000-06:00

I shot this family on a gorgeous afternoon at their home. I spent a couple of hours with them shooting inside and outside in their familiar surroundings. I love shooting my subjects in their own surroundings because it makes them more comfortable with me and my camera.

Morgan and Tucker were excellent subjects! I played with them in their playroom and got some great shots of them just enjoying their day!

We then ventured outside with mom, Kathi, and got the three of them to just walk and play around with each other. I think I was able to capture them in true form.

Overall, I'd have to say that this was probably one of my best shoots....very laid back and lots of FUN! Thanks to Kathi, Morgan and Tucker for such a fabulous day! Can't wait to do it again!

Here are some from the day and I will post more later! Enjoy!

Hmmm...food photography would be fun!

2008-01-10T00:15:00.000-06:00

This was my contribution to our family Christmas lunch-chocolate and vanilla mousse in mini chocolate cups! I came up with this all by myself!! Not too shabby! I had to take a picture of my creation as proof for those that can't believe I can cook and also because those that know me, know that I have to take a picture of EVERYTHING!

Let me know what you think!

Matthew, Allison & Rylee

2007-12-18T22:14:00.000-06:00

Some images from a beautiful Sunday afternoon! These three were great! I have been taking Matthew's pictures off and on for over a year! He's a pro. He knows when to smile and when not to! He also wanted to make sure I got his new shoes in the picture!

Matthew's sister, Allison (the blonde) is just as aware of the camera as he is! Rylee is their second cousin and she was soooo easy!

What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!!

Alex

2007-12-12T16:02:00.000-06:00

You know the saying...."Kids are smarter than you think?" Well, in this case it's really true! Alex was a challenge! He knew that I was trying to take his picture, so......he would not turn his face towards the camera!! He did a couple of times, but the little toot had his back towards me the whole time!!!! Oh well, we got some good shots anyways...even if they were all of his back!

The DeSiata Family

2007-12-09T22:35:00.000-06:00

I've been friends with Kellie for a few years now. Her husband John has been in Iraq for a couple of years off and on for work. She called me one day to let me know that he was going to go back again and wanted family portraits taken before he left. He found out what day he was leaving a week before the date, so I had to be ready.

These shots were taken the day before he left.

Karington

2007-12-09T14:42:00.000-06:00

I had the pleasure of working with the adorable Karington in her equally adorable pink tutu! What a doll! The weather was perfect and so was Karington!

Karington's mother, Natalie, and I went to school together....kindergarten through high school. We have not seen each other since high school, so this was a nice way to get together.

First blog!!!

2007-12-09T14:00:00.000-06:00

Hey all! I'm super excited to be finally blogging! Since I don't have a website yet, this is a great way to showcase my work!

I've been doing photography for about 12 years now. I've worked mainly with children and families and have had so many different experiences that have brought me to this point. I've done a lot of studio work, but prefer the more natural outdoor type of setting. I love capturing the "realness" of my subject.

This is a picture of me and my best subject....my daughter, Maya.

Enjoy!

neha.
