more Everlee

We had a great vacation last week……we traveled to Indy and then to Atlanta to see family.  I’ve been so buried since we’ve been back…and there is so much to do.  Wow.  But before I show some of the cuties we’ve seen so far this week, I thought I’d share a few more from our time with Everlee.  Nothing like getting sprayed with a hose to cool you off in the Texas heat!


Everlee

At last!  Images from our fab one year old shoot at Everlee’s home.  Wow.  Her home is overwhelmingly beautiful…so much so that it made the cover of D Home magazine this month.   We have LOVED getting to photo E and her gorgeous and super nice parents this year…..and look forward to watching her grow more through the years!

check out her newborn pic we did in the background…..
Butterflies remind E’s mommy of her sweet girl, so we incorporated 2 just-hatched Monarchs into the shoot. Fragile butterflies+active one year old= sort of a  mess.  But we did capture this….
Um, hello….there’s a butterfly on my face.

Margaux and Meyer (6 month twins) + Will (2) + Ben (3 months)

We were so excited when Margaux and Meyer’s mom and dad hired us to travel all the way to Aspen for their portraits.  Twist our arms why don’t ya!  We had an amazing trip to Colorado last week….we even brought along our kids and Matt’s parents to make a vacation out of it.  I’ll post some pics of our time there at some point……but for now, take a peek at these cuties.  Have you ever seen eyes so beautiful?  M&M are such very sweet babies….

Since their whole family was up vacationing in Aspen with them, we also got to meet and photograph M&M’s cousins, Will and Ben.  Photographing 3 babies who don’t sit up yet…along with a VERY active and fun 2 year old….outdoors…was a new challenge.  But these guys did a great job!

Here is Will and Ben’s mom, M&M’s mom’s sister.  This is the CRAZIEST story ever:  The first time we had met M&M’s mom was there in Aspen, all correspondence with her was via phone prior to the trip.  They live full time in Houston, we live in in Dallas.  Well…..through the course of conversation (the day AFTER these photos were taken) we realize that this cute gal and I  (why didn’t I recognize her before is just wrong) had gone to high school together.  As in– graduated together–in CARMEL, INDIANA.  Freaky!  Blame it on taking our husband’s last names….

Day 2 of our shoot was for the whole family, and we were so excited to get M&M together with their parents with beautiful Aspen mountain in the background….

And here is the whole crew…..of course now I would recognize this family, even from my high school days….as grandpa is the former head coach of the Indianapolis Colts!  Thanks everyone for trusting us to your sweet family’s portraits in such an amazing place!

Milo (7 Days)– Dallas Newborn Photographer

So, last week Matt and I headed up to Kansas City for our long-awaited meeting with sweet, brand-new Milo.  But first things first…..here is an image from his parent’s maternity session in March that I *love*.  We had to keep this one under wraps since no one in the family knew Milo’s name till his grand entrance…

Oh, Milo is one great baby.  We hung out ALL day in his house….while his very nice mom and dad endured our request for a super hot environment.  We said a big BYE to air con for the day, and a big HELLO to Mr. Space Heater.

Heat makes for very happy babies.  See?

Can you tell by now that I was a wee bit obsessed with the color scheme in his nursery?  OK, here’s one more, just in case you were wondering!

7 lb., 15 oz…..

We did schlep our new travel beanbag up there too!  The lawn guy right outside the window to my left was a bit perplexed by this whole scene….

Now, mom and dad soooooo did not want to be in pictures.  Sorry Charlies!!!  You guys ROCK and Milo is gonna want to see you in his album some day, too.  P.S. You look amazing!

Thank you so much, sweet happy family!  We are so honored that you chose us to document this amazing time in your lives!

Arizona Peek 2

Three more families from our Arizona trip!

Here’s the “motherload”  (literally, mom’s van has MTHRLOD as the license plate.  ha!)  These six kiddos are way fun and we looove getting to see them each year.  They get around!  They live in Arizona, are from California, dad plays ball in Toronto, and his team spring trains in Florida.  Mom is legendary for flying the whole crew from here to there and everywhere!  For all you photogs out there….this doozy was shot at TWELVE NOON!  My brain was about to explode….

here’s Andrew+Bryce+Aunalilia+Jace+Junior+Aubrielle in Sedona
