Long Time No Post....

I've been a bad blogger as of late....

Last week my daughter was in from Kansas for a short visit. We had such a great time. These are just a few pix from one of our days in Fort Worth while she was here. On this day we visited the Botanical Gardens in Fort Worth, one of our favorite spots. We took along Sara, one of Kimmy's friends.

Even in the winter the Botanical Gardens are beautiful. I was surprised to see a few things in bloom already.

We always take some bread to feed the fish and turtles at the pond.

This little guy wanted in on some of that bread too. When I turned around he was setting about 3 feet from me on the ground just looking up at me...

So I had to share.

Sara is expecting in May, she is starting to get the belly bump. In a few months we will do a maternity shoot.

A few more pix from last Saturday's Graduation Party for Tiffany. This is Tiffany's Aunt Shelly and her hubby Travis. What a fun time. I had so much fun with this family. Click pictures to see enlarged

I love it when people can just let go and have some fun with a shoot.

This is Katti - Keep in mind a vintage shoot Katti, I'm thinkin' 60's or 70's.
Goofing off for the camera!

Love this one of the siblings......Katti and Stewart

I really like this shot of Stewart.

Stewart is a cut up - I always have lots of fun on a shoot when the people can relax and let their personalities show through.

More for Tiff......

My best friend and her family

This first pix is of the rehearsal for Kathy and Gene's daughter Helen just 12 days ago. This is Kathy and Gene.....I love the way she is looking at him in this one.
Kathy and I have been friends for over 20 years and is my family here in Texas. Here she is with her parents and her sisters. L-R - Coy, Roy, Patty, Connie and Kathy These three had a great time, even started singing a song about "sisters"
It was hilarious, nobody could remember the words!

Wisper and Copper - Buds

Wisper is Tiffany and Aaron's niece and she joined us for a while on our shoot Saturday. Here are a few of my faves of her and some with her and Copper.
I found this girl stunning, I would love to do a very non traditional shoot with her, maybe something in a old building or barn with vintage clothes.

These two are buddies!

I think this one is sweet.

Texrigger

I met up with Jerry a few weeks back for lunch and he took me through the plant he is working right at the moment. I have always found it interesting the work he does.

Jerry custom built this tool box. This is the first time I got to see in on a job site. It is huge and opens up on three sides with the four side having a pop up table for work space.

One side opens and has drawers inside.

Another side has storage for chains and straps.

I thought these metal shavings looked like colorful confetti.

Noah

Noah is our great nephew on my husbands side. He was born last Nov. too early and has had a rough go of it so far, but with all the love and prayers that has gone out to this little angel he is doing better and better. Noah has the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen on a baby. Click to enlarge the images and just check out those lashes! This last visit to Illinois over Labor Day weekend was only the second time we have gotten to see him. I couldn't believe how much he had grown over the summer. See you again in November Noah!
