A Texas Christmas...

wow, I'm soooo behind on blogs there is little hope of ever truly catching up so I'm just slinging out some of my faves from here till Monday;0

Look who just keeps growing & won't stop!! The Phipps Kids!! Man, I love these 3 like my own & Sandy is one of my precious friends so I thoroughly enjoy our sessions. I was stoked when Sandy said she was gonna do full on western wear this year bc I IMMEDIATELY knew we ABSOLUTELY HAD to get our booties to the Stockyards! the result; perfection! Ella was a full on Rhinestone Cowgirl & Jayden...well, I could just EAT HIM UP!! I've always adored this baby boy but he's at the CUTEST age right now & super duper fun! Jesse remains to be one of THE BEST teens I've ever met & I pray I'm half as lucky with my two; love that kid! So, enjoy our Western inspired family shoot; we sure did!

San Fran Family Sesh;0!!!

My sweet sweet dear friend, Kelly, my Cali Girl...Kel & I were in a Mom's group together during the few years she & her family lived here in Texas & have since relocated back home to the Bay Area. We have kids similar ages, have similar interests & child rearing styles & both share a deep Faith & personal relationship with Christ but the seal of our bond was that at the forming of our friendship I was going through an extremely difficult time in my life and Kelly was a constant source of love, support & prayer. We kept jokingly saying how I should come to San Fran to do their fam portraits at the Palace of Fine Arts & finally it turned to "Yea, why DON'T we do that!?" So, she flew me out & a lovely weekend we had!! I loved it and am already planning my next trip out! I am gaga over architecture & buildings & history & San Francisco is steeped in it so this was a camera DREAM!! Enjoy;0
