Blue Eyed Baby Blues

Kimi is the sister of another one of my favorite clients. I photographed her earlier this year while she was still pregnant.The forecast predicted rain and gunk so I jumped the gun and moved her session to the middle of the day. When we arrived in Port Aransas... there was not a cloud in the sky. Fully on, noon sun. I was a little devastated.

I offered to photograph her again in the future once the baby arrived to make it up to her since she lives in Houston (about 4 hours north of here). So with her sweet girl turning six months old, and her nephew arriving last week, Kimi made the trip down again. And wouldn't luck have it that her sweet girl started teething on the way down.

I felt so bad for the little sweetie, but you know what? These are some of my very favorite images. Sweet girl just melts into her parents arms, the way us mamas always want to remember our babies.

This is what photographic authenticity is about, and I'm forever grateful for clients who appreciate it.

A Taste of Salt Air

The C Family is one of the last families I photographed when I lived in FW.She was due with Sarah just two days before I was due with Phoebe and had the most adorable bump that you ever did see. I have been blessed to have photographed this family a few times during my DFW trips, and when she asked to set up a session with my while they visited family in San Antonio, I was elated!

This was Sarah's first (awake) trip to the beach. It is such a JOY to photograph babies first steps into the sea. Their reactions are PRICELESS. I don't know how you are going to chose, Anita! I could barely chose my favorites for this post!

And a belated Happy Birthday! To little Miss <3 I hate that I couldn't be in DFW to photograph your birthday, but I am thrilled you came down to see me!

(if you are ever in need of a hilarious, talented woman to photograph your family on vacation in the Coastal Bend area (Port Aransas, North Padre Island, Mustang Island, Corpus Christi, Rockport. Not to be confused with the Houston area which is about three hours north of here.) I would love it if you contacted me.)

Birthday Babe

This gorgeous family came from Victoria to visit me and my camera in celebration of their adorable little miss turning one! A quick and easy little mini session was all they needed, but I had so many favorites! Here are just a few.

Happy Birthday, Ruby!
