Baby Ian was a dream to work with and entertained us (and himself) the entire time we were there. He was smiling and laughing through the whole session and we got so many great photos of this awesome family. Thanks for having us out and enjoy the sneak peek guys!

love, Love, LOVE this one

Both Ian and Daddy were rocking Chuck Taylors so I had to get a shot of them

Meet Rocco… he kept a watchful eye (and a nose at times) on us while we were shooting in his yard

As an added bonus I got to meet Ed’s parents and catch up with his brother (we used to work together a few years ago).  Good times :)

I love that Sam knows how to throw up the Horns.

The generation photo that we were able to get with the guys is special. It was one of the only photos we were able to get Eddie to smile.

Dave and Sarah got engaged just a few days prior to our family session. Congratulations again guys!

Ed and Dave’s wonderful parents.

I included this one because it was too funny. Samantha was playing peek-a-boo using the backdrop and Eddie’s expression is priceless.

So, being the good planners we are, Melanie and I decided to take my parents to Fredericksburg instead of Houston yesterday (having a plan B is always a good idea). The weather was sunny, the company was good, and we had an enjoyable little day trip. Our first stop was Wildseed Farms and then we headed into downtown Fredericksburg for some lunch (burgers at the Buffalo Nickel) and a bit of shopping.

Here are a few collages that I put together using a new set of actions I got from MCP Actions. Let me know what you think (I’m trying them out because I want to get more photos on my blog while minimizing scrolling as much as possible).

I only brought my 15mm fisheye lens with me and couldn’t pass up the opportunity for some fun portraits (including a self portrait)

Yesterday Melanie and I had the pleasure of shooting one of those families. Heather and Bob are getting married in Prague in September (yes I would love to be shooting their wedding, but at least I get to do their engagements and Heather’s bridals before they go) and even though Heather isn’t an official member of the family you wouldn’t know it. They are all so welcoming and friendly and the kids are super well behaved. It was an awesome session and I’m totally looking forward to their engagement session in a couple of weeks.

Leland and I work together so it was a no brainer for me to go out and take some photos of his family. Nickolas just turned 3 so we were looking to capture him in all his 3 year old energetic glory… I think we did well :) . Enjoy the sneak peek.

Nickolas is really into trains… here he’s giving me his best train sound… “woooo wooo”

A little beso for Mommy

*Love* doorway shots… yummy light

I was on the fence about doing a regular miscellaneous Monday post or posting a sneak peek from Steph and Dave’s Saturday family session and, well, I just couldn’t wait another day to share these photos. Steph and Dave are wonderful friends of ours and I was very honored to do a session with them and their precious daughter Alexandra (I call her AJ). AJ is about as cute as they come and she gave us about 30 minutes of happiness before she had a meltdown and fell asleep, but that was all I needed (we worked quickly). Enjoy the photos.

For you photographers reading this the lighting was 80% window light (camera left) and 20% AB400 on it’s lowest setting with a softbox (camera right). I probably could have gotten away with using just window light, but wanted to fill in the shadows a bit. I love north facing windows!

Melanie’s parents came along to the session and her Dad is just magic with babies and I had to capture his and AJ’s joy.

These photos almost look like and a “now and then”

I warned you guys that this photo would show up on the blog :)
