Shelby ♥ Chad. College Station Photographer.

My friend Shelby was married a year and a half ago. I'm cleaning house on a bunch of galleries and someone asked to see these. Until today, these had been unedited. I don't know why! {except that I got pregnant and my life kind of slipped out of control}. The images are GORGEOUS and so are the people. We had a blast celebrating with all our friends. Now, we just can't wait to meet the new baby that is on her way!

Abigail Grace. Beautiful Newborn. Houston Children's Photographer.

I feel like a terrible friend. I visited Christen last spring break and snapped a few photos of Abigail just because I wanted to. Look how beautiful she is! I was 8 months pregnant and life got to the best of me. I'm just now getting these images together for my mama friend to see. I'm so sorry!

Parker's First Halloween.

Parker is a big boy and started eating finger foods this week. Here he is with his peaches:

I'm not sure he knows what to think about having food in his mouth.
Uncle Jake and Aunt Hayley came to visit us! The boys had a sales conference so Hayley and I got to do girly stuff and go register for my sweet nephew. It was fun! I was glad to have the company since Daniel wasn't coming home at night. Their last night in SA, the four of us stayed up way too late trying to name this new little boy and ended up doubled over in laughter. As I got into bed, Daniel looked at me and said "We haven't laughed like that in a really long time". The truth is, we don't laugh the same way with everyone we know. Jake and Hayley are pretty dang special; we've been through a lot of life together the past nine years. We miss being right down the road from them especially since they'll soon be having Shalley Boy #2. I am thankful that we're a fairly quick drive down I-10 and can visit as often as we like. Hey, it could be Alaska. Haha.


I'm not really all about Halloween. I think it's silly and absolutely despise dressing up. Poor Parker. We did make it outside in our Halloween bib {thanks Aunt Han} for a group photo with the Prude Crew kids.

It will be fun to see these stinkers grow up each year! : )


These two precious flamenco dancers live across the street from us! Aren't the gorgeous? I can't wait for a photo shoot with them! Parker adores Ellie and I know that they'll be good friends once he's running around and chasing her.

And here's Super Girl, our next door neighbor. :) I loved all the costumes. The girls made me laugh! They were tough!



Halloween jammies are how we celebrate. I'm pretty sure I have the cutest punkin' ever!






Oh, it's night night time!

Bailey. One Year. Cypress Children's Photographer.

Sweet Bailey is ONE! My goodness, that's hard to believe. I've known the Luces since we were all newly married. It's so fun to have watched our lives unfold as we have welcomed children into our families. It is a GREAT compliment to have friends ask me to photograph their children, their family. I love being able to freeze time for my friends, preserving what they love about the right now. Thank you Erin and Phillip. I had a wonderful time even if it was super chilly. Bailey was a trooper! I appreciate your patience too as I've been learning some new things and wanted to be able to apply them to your images.

Playtime and a Duck Tub

Parker man can now easily feed himself from tiny bottles...we're working being able to hold the smaller and larger ones. This will make traveling in the car so much easier!

Funny face!
Playtime! My man is scooting around on his belly. I can't believe he'll be mobile soon.




My favorite...love the sweetness and innocence on his face.

Ah, the nose crinkle.

No worries, bully. You will never be replaced. Parker loves you oh so much.

First time in the big boy duck tub. Apparently, it's quite relaxing.
