Dear God

At church Sunday it came time to pray. While we were all praying, Joshua decided to scribble out his own prayer to God. He said, Dear God, please bring me some Night Vision 'Gobbles' (night vision goggles), it's all I have ever wanted. Joshua doesn't believe in Santa Clause, so as far as he was concerned if he was gonna get those Night Vision Goggles, God was gonna have to bring it to him. Well that night, we celebrated Christmas in our home with the kids because we were leaving the next day for Baton Rouge. Joshua got those 'gobbles', and he was so excited. Morgan had asked for a pink guitar. We hid the guitar and wrapped up the pick and guitar strap. She was so excited when she opened them. I told her she would have to wait till next Christmas to get the guitar. She grinned real big knowing I was kidding. We told her to go find it, and she played her little heart out most of the evening. I will be posting pictures soon.

Here he is with his Night Vision 'Gobbles'
Morgan with her hot pink guitar. She was very specific in wanting an accoustic guitar.

Daddy reading the birth of Jesus as we do every year before we open our gifts. There would be no Christmas without Christ.

Dallas photo shoot with the Oby's

A few weeks ago the Oby's contacted me wanting a family picture. But they didn't want just any family picture. They wanted some of the kids from the Mercy Street Ministry they work for to be in the picture as well. They also wanted the Dallas skyline behind them. We went to this park that was close to thier home. It was soooooooo cold, we didn't do all the individual pictures we normally do because we had to get the babies warm again, but we did manage to get everything they wanted plus a few fun ones. I had such a great time with them. Looking forward to seeing them again in abut 7 months for her maternity pictures!! Here are some of my favorite portraits from yesterday..

Happy Birthday Lorelei!!

Last month I photographed Lorelei. She is sooooooooo incredibly cute. I made a slide show of her session with us. Take a peeky, and look all the way till the end so you can see her birthday cakes pictures :)

Santa Sessions 2008

We had alot of fun on Saturday seeing children that we hadn't see since Easter or even last Christmas. They grew so much! One of my little friends named Alex drew me a wonderful picture that he couldn't wait to give to me. It was so sweet!
Enjoy this little slide show we put together from Saturday.....

My new favorite place for portraits

A few Sundays ago I found this awesome place for fall portraits....

So, I had a friend of mine take some of our pictures there, and then I brought the Cannon's out there this past Sunday...

Here are some of my favorite portraits from that day. I could have posted more, but I really had to limit it :) There were just so many great ones that day! I just have to say how cute their little boy is, he reminded me of Opie on the Andy Griffith show ;)

See his reflection in the water :)

Our family picture

we had family pictures done a few weeks ago, but when i was at the arboretum, I saw this gorgeous spot, and just had to have one taken at it. So I called a friend of mine and he came out and took it for us. I love this picture. I had always dreamed of a fall picture and this surpassed my expectation. Thanks Darren! Since we had ours done, I went back one more time to use this location. I will be posting some more soon.

Fall at the Dallas Arboretum

I took a few minutes the other day to photograph the beauty of fall at the Dallas Arboretum. It's my favorite time of year :) It was really relaxing just capturing all that is beautiful in the fall...
