This year we added a lot of new faces to our portrait collection – we also saw the return of quite a few familiar kid and adult faces. A few highlights: the Packers won the Superbowl, Angela graduated nursing school and got the surprise of her life, past wedding clients had babies, Christopher bought a cowboy hat and our photography business gained a little more popularity! Thanks to all who helped make 2011 such a great year for us – we hope we were able to do the same for you. We love you guys!!!

I’m in love! Meet Jaaziel, the newest addition to the “A-team” (see previous post). I couldn’t wait to get up to the hospital to meet this little munchkin and he was nothing short of everything I could have imagined! Marcheta congrats on the most perfect, handsome and charming little man!! Bring him back… soon! I miss him already.

And P.S. this documentary style hospital photo session should really be a more common occurrence… hairy ears, back hair, flaky skin and bandaids on the feet are things not always captured but totally underrated as a must have memory. End of speech, Meet my Jaaziel!

Every once in awhile a couple finds us on google, with no prior connection and you just know you were meant to meet them!! Nikki and Kevin are so that couple! Sweet and fun and full of love… it’s no wonder they created such a perfect little mini! Meet Liam! We met his parents for a maternity session and have been waiting for his arrival ever since! This session took place when he was just a wee 9 days old and he totally and completely rocked it! Alert and full of spunk this little man took the session under his control and we followed his “little big man” lead. What a joy to have met this family… can’t say enough about them.. but as for Liam, let the pictures speak for themselves!

In a house of 4 boys, another girl is born to try to balance the powers. Meet little miss Evelyn, aka little miss adorable. She’s just so stinkin’ cute and mild mannered. Check out some more photos of Evelyn and her big sister Jade.

It is with great honor that we introduce you to the newest member of our favorite child club… Miss Sydney Walker. You know the saying you can’t pick family? Well we defeated the odds when it comes to these girls… they are family by a choice their mom and I (Angela) made as lifetime friends, way before they were in the picture.  What does this mean for them?  Well a lifetime of cameras in their faces of course!    Introducing lil Syd, and with style is her older sister Nadia who is proudly displaying her new title as big sister. We love you girls.. and just remember.. no boyfriends till you’re 30!

Meet the Murga Family… Ruben, Ashley Zaidy & (drum roll please…..) Ruben Junior. Ashley came to us about two years ago for newborn portraits of Zaidy, and now they are back for another session. We had such an awesome time with them and it’s always a joy to meet a new little life. Enjoy the preview and we look forward to photographing the Murga kids as they continue to grow and explore life!

That new baby smell, that new baby breath, those tiny little toes and such sweet innocence… There is nothing like being able to capture those first few weeks for parents to remember because they go by so quickly and they change so fast. Nala was no exception. She was sweet and made perfectly from head to toe. Although she would rather sleep than have her pictures taken she had no problem looking great while swaddled in a bowl or nestled on top of a wicker trunk, a natural model. We can’t wait to see how she changes from month to month! Congratulations to Kevin and Lauri on such a perfect little girl.

Meet this amazing couple and their son. Nanette came to us to capture some artistic family portraits. We photographed at the Dallas Arboretum on an awesome spring day. They were so relaxed and easy to work with…even little Trumpet was very much cooperative throughout the session. During our session we learned that Nanette and Rudy are musically and vocally talented – we’re currently enjoying a couple CD’s of their work.

Nanette & Rudy, you guys have such positive spirits and outlooks on life. You are going to be great parents!!!
