the hopper family • lubbock, tx

It's not often I get to photograph extended families- especially not a family as special as this one. I've had the pleasure of shooting with Mitzi and her family a few times now, and she jumped on my Mini-Session offer in February, knowing that it was her parents' 50th wedding anniversary, and it was time to capture everyone together! I had such a wonderful time with this loving family the day before Easter. They were so easy to work with, and thankfully, trusted me when the weather threatened rain. We actually ended up with some nice cloud coverage. Here are a few of my faves from this session.

callye + miclyn • kiddos • lubbock, tx

Ahhh, I'm so excited to show these gorgeous little girls to you. They are the daughters of my friends Gabriel and Casye- who I've known for a long time. I'm always so honored when my friends hire me to capture their lives- it's such a blessing to me. We had a fun time playing in the park and being girly in tutus. :) Capturing a 2 year old and a newborn is not always easy- but it allowed me to look for new angles and approaches. There's nothing I love more than images of kids that make you feel like you're playing right along with them. Here are some of my faves:

smith + family • amarillo, tx

I wish you all could hang out with little Smith- he is such an all-American boy! I loved his chilled out attitude and the variety of cute (and hilarious) expressions. We had a great session in the park thanks to his fabulous parents and grandmother, who made sure he was completely entertained at all times (thank you!). 

The lips! So precious!

These two may just be my favorite pairing. Is it weird that I find drool adorable?

I love that Smith seemed to smile the most when he was with his parents. 

Gorgeous family? Check!
