Kylee

I have always enjoyed photographing Kylee. She is such a beautiful little girl. Kylee has such a sweet and loving personality. She greets me with a smile and hug!

Robin & Kylee are up for anything. When I suggested the Strand in Galveston, Robin never hesitated to say yes. I had a wonderful time walking the streets of The Strand, sharing laughter among friends. It was nice to get away and have a breath of fresh air.

It is hard to believe that Kylee will be five next month. How time flies.

{Part 1/More to come}

{It is important to find a photographer that your children click with. When you establish a relationship with a photographer the kids begin to feel at ease, and things flow perfectly!}

Samantha

Life has a funny way of keeping things in perspective for us.

Last Saturday I photographed the Jackson family. Samantha is the oldest of the 4 girls. On Saturday, Sam was upbeat, happy and full of life.

Yesterday she doubled over and requested an emergency room visit. Transferred to Texas Children's. {her mom/Tracy is keeping us updated via Facebook}

Last update ~ Samantha is having surgery in the morning. She has what the surgeon called a cyst-like tumor on her lower spine. Nerve involvement seems to be minimal. There is a possibility that it is cancerous. Please remember us in your prayers. Samantha is a bit scared as you can imagine. However, she is remaining positive and hopeful for a good result.

Please take time to pray for Sam. Pray for the cyst to be cancer free. Pray for a speedy recovery.

Love you Sam.

Allyson & Emily

At the end of a long week, it was nice to unwind by sharing giggles with clients.

As I drove down the drive way and got out of my vehicle I was greeted by two adorable little girls. Emily immediately started telling me all about how she wanted to take a picture by the tree and by the creek. While sister Allyson quietly listened giving me an innocent, beautiful smile. I instantly felt welcomed.

I was excited to see that mom Tracy did an excellent job with their outfits. Very important note: layers. not identical matching outfits, but same color scheme.
