Mini Sessions

Well I decided to try my hand at some mini sessions to benefit the youth group at my church. I wanted to give back using my photography as well as give Mini photo sessions a try.  The thought of orchestrating 6 or more families to fill short time slots, staying on time, and on task (ha), and getting the shots I want, honestly made me want to throw up... but after having completed it with results I'm proud of  I certainly think I'm ready to give it a go in 2011.... so stay tuned for Mini session dates!  Here are a few of the beautiful families from my fabulous church!  We all had a ball out there! :)

The N Family {A Montgomery, Texas family photographer}

I'm lucky enough to have the privilege of photographing these two kiddos twice in a season.  I love my job.  You just can't ask for a more beautiful family inside and out.  We go back a long time now... and I've loved being able to watch this family grow and how happy and loving they are.  I'm glad we got these pictures D so that you're kids can now see how loving you are to them ( for that minute) lol.  You crack me up girl! :)

Baby Z {A Montgomery, Tx Infant Photographer

I wanna squeeze him and kiss him.  He was so happy and so sleepy and so wonderfully content.  Baby Z's was the perfect little boy model complete with a little smile in the middle of the session.  He graced us all with mostly sleepy pictures but he did open that bright blue eyes a few times so he could show them off.  His big sister Z was not all about sharing the spotlight... she felt like she should have had her own photographer there... just for her, and for those of you who know me, I was just the girl to do it.  She was a fantastic little happy model and she stole my heart!!! :)  Thank you B Family for giving me the honor of photographing your beautiful family of 4!  I loved loved loved every solitary minute of it! :)  I hope you love these as much as I do...

The C Family {Sneak Peak}

Okay C Family... because I love you all, and I mean it, I'm giving you 2.  I don't know what the rest of the shoot looks like... but B... girl.... you are SO beautiful!! :)  I got chills when I took this picture of you, and I knew it was going to be beautiful.  :)  You have an amazing light in your eyes... I love your vibrance!   To the rest of you... you make me smile just thinking about you.  We'll see what else we can come up with too... but here you go! :)

Love you Jane!  

oh liv ea {A Conroe, Texas family photographer}

I love this child... I love this child... I love this child!!!

I called her spunky... but she's more than that.  She's captivating ( in her sweet smiles, but also in her personality)  ... and she makes me smile every time a new picture pops up on my computer! :)  This is our second photography encounter... and I love having the ability to watch her grow and mature.  Thank you S family for picking me for the 2nd time to be your family photographer.  You all are wonderful... and I love love how these turned out.  The backgrounds proved to be more fall than I'd ever expected!!! :)

The G Family {A Montgomery, Texas family photographer}

It's always special to meet people in my community, close by, and fellow Montgomerians.  I'm just a small town girl, with small town  values, and I like the close-knit communities that come from small towns.  Montgomery isn't really the small town it appears to be... but we still call it small and can see a familiar face in the nearby shopping or dining establishment.  When I get to know good people, that live and work in the community... it gives me a Mayberry feeling.  And if you know me, you know that's a good feeling.  (I can probably top any quiz taker about miscellaneous facts about the Andy Griffith Show).  Yes, I'm a dork... because my Dad made me that way! :)

Anyway, back to the G family.  This shoot was kind of cool for me.  It was a glimpse into my life in about 2 years when my kids will be the ages of these precious 2.  I loved their interactions... and how playful and happy they were and I hope my two will be as good of friends as these 2 appeared to be.  Thank you Mom and Dad for calling on me to do what I saw was the first family shoot since little man was a baby!  Long overdue... and I definitely hope you love them.  Please don't wait that long again for heavensake... I don't have to tell you how fleeting our days are.  Capture every moment!! :)

The H Family {A Spring, Texas baby photographer}

This little angel has got modeling qualities at the ripe young age of 6 whole months.  I'm not sure I've ever seen a more content, happy, laid back baby,  but I guarantee she was my easiest client all year! lol  I think I just had to say her name... and up popped this amazing smile.  Wardrobe change... no problem.  Location change... piece of cake!  Thank you G and G for sharing your family with me... and for giving me the opportunity to capture sweet A in her modeling debut!  I loved, loved, loved this shoot... the images... and getting to know you all!
