The Lucks Family | Family Portrait

It was a cool, yet sunny afternoon; the week after Christmas. The decorations around were perfect at Old Town Sping, in Spring Texas, as it was still filled with Christmas lights, garland and red candy canes. The Lucks and I decided to meet here to do their family portrait. It had been two years since we actually first made contact and we finally nailed down a date while I was in Houston for Christmas.

We had so much fun, walking around and stopping when something caught our eyes for a good photo op. The smiles of this family are contagious. Even while I was editing I couldn't stop smiling. The beauty of this family just radiates from these photos!

Check them out below! :)

Love the color pop in these! :) Beautiful! 

Such a beautiful family! So glad that I was able to meet them finally! :)

Thanks for taking a peek! 

Ortiz Family | Family Portrait

I had the pleasure of being with the Ortiz family on my trip to Houston, Texas in December. It was such a blast to see them again. I had actually previously done their family pictures two years ago. It's crazy to see how much their kids had grown! I almost didn't recognize them!! Their previous portrait is here if you want to see it. :)

So I was very excited whenever Beth contacted me back in October, asking if they could schedule a portrait. It happened perfectly that we could do it when I was there--so glad that we were able to arrange that! This family is fun to be around. They laugh a lot and you can really tell they have fun together. I hope that people leave my family, seeing love, laughter and kindness as well. :)

The venue for our pictures was Rice University. Such an incredible university with so many archways, beautiful brick buildings and other things that make photographer's giddy! I know I was very excited shooting this family there.

Anyways, here's the photos!

LOVE this lens glare. The sun and lighting was SO wonderful on this day! :) You guys are so beautiful.

Can't be with this family and not get a goofy picture! :)

Love, love, LOVE these doors. :)

These gals are so adorable and beautiful. I count it a joy to know you both!

Love the expressions on the right. :)

Love this wall, too! The lines are great!

These last two are my FAVORITES! I love the colors, the layouts, the lines--everything!! You guys are so awesome!

Thanks for looking!! Leave a comment below! :) I'd LOVE to hear from you!

Be looking for another family portrait here soon! :)

The Leopold Family | Family Portrait

Meet the Leopolds - such a cute family! :) We met here in Arizona to go through the same internship and it has been such a blast getting to know them during this time. Ashley asked me to do their family pictures and I was thrilled at the idea. In general I love to hang out with this family, so adding photography to the mix makes things perfect. :)

We headed over to Tempe Beach Lake to a more grassy area where some buildings are at. It gave the portrait a very different look that I liked much. 

Ashley you are GORGEOUS! :)

Love this picture of Zac! Looks like a stud here. :)

Favorite from the shoot! I love this picture of Psalm!! :)

It's a Psalmy sandwich! :) hehe

Zac can really throw up Psalm high. :) I was surprised by the air that she got!

Psalm was very tired at the end of our time. 

Thanks for looking - would love to hear your comments!

Stephanie | Christmas Mini Session

Everyone, meet Steph - the girl that never stops smiling! :) 

Steph and I met here in Arizona and she's become one of my closest friends here. She is such an awesome person - I'm so glad that I've been able to get to know her in my time in Arizona. 

So, since we see each other a lot, she told me that she really wanted to get some pictures with a cactus. Being from the west side of the states, cacti is not something you see very much! So we went hunting and found a few. We had a lot of fun! 

Thanks for looking - enjoy and leave Steph some love! :)

This next one to the right is my FAVORITE from the shoot! :) I love her smile! You're so cute Steph!

We found some cacti! :) Yea!

You always have to do the jumping pose! ha! :)

It's not too late to get your mini-session for $75! I'll be doing them through the end of December, so send me a message! Be looking for two more family sessions soon! There are some adorable kiddo's that will be gracing the presence of this website!

Have a great week! :)
