Christmas Mini-Sessions!

Laugh, Play, Dance!

I am in LOVE with this family session! I don't know if you remember that gusty day in Houston a few weeks ago, but it was THAT day that we had this session. It was incredibly windy! I was thinking to myself, "God, You have a plan. Make this work-if You want the wind to die down, then do it; if You want the wind to make these portraits, then do that too." It was truly an "all stars aligned" type of session! Sure, it would have been great without the wind, location, or time, but I think nailing all three with a great-looking family was what make these pictures so fabulous! Here are some of their family pictures--what an amazing set to choose from!

My favorite!


and other favorites!


Wow. I thought the last one looked like an ad and someone on my Facebook page commented on that too. LOL. Ok, so you want to see more? Check out their individuals and another family picture:



The babies are sooo cute!! Love their little faces and smiles!



I asked mom at the end of the shoot if I could take some promotional JH Capturing Creations shots of her daughter and she was happy to do that for me! Her little face, mood, countenance and the sunset just inspired me! I'll go ahead and share my faves (which is almost all of them...)

What a sweet. angel. face. pose. love. it. I want to eat it. :D

*sigh*


She reminded me of a wonderful feeling I love to have. As much as I can, as I go out and do this work, I think to myself, "How will God be glorified through this family, these images?" My husband likes to cheer me on and say, "Go capture creation, babe!" As I was processing this particular image, this song by Hillsong came on and I couldn't help but remember a gleeful thought as I was reminded of God. Here is a link to a video of the song, Where the Love Lasts Forever, and below are the lyrics. A beautiful song indeed! Play it as you read on!

Your mercy found me,
Upon the broken road,
And lifted me beyond my failing,
Into Your glory,
My sin and shame dissolved,
And now forever Yours I'll stand

(Pre-Chorus)
In love never to end,
To call You more than Lord,
Glorious friend.

(Chorus)
So I throw my life upon all that You are,
'Cause I know you gave it all for me.
And when all else fades,
My soul will dance with You,
Where the love lasts forever.

Your mercy found me,
Upon the broken road,
And lifted me beyond my failing,
Into Your glory,
My sin and shame dissolved,
And now forever Yours I'll stand

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
And forever I will sing,
Lord forever I will sing,
Of how You gave Your life away,
Just to save me, Lord You saved me.

(Chorus)

Lord, where the love lasts forever.
I will be with You, where the love lasts forever.
I will sing to you, where the love lasts forever.
I will dance with you, where the love lasts forever
.

How do you follow that? I am humbly served through this image! I do in fact throw my life upon all that He is because I know He gave it all for me! This image reminds me of a time that I will dance in front of my father God one day in heaven as she is dancing in front of hers right here on earth. What an amazing visual and what joy fills my heart at the thought!! Perhaps you are blessed by it, and I sure hope God is glorified through it, but I certainly am inspired by it. I will dance with Him, where the love lasts forever! :)

P.S. Hillsong is coming to Houston this month! November 29th. You should go. I am! Buy tickets!

Water + Baby + Brother = Love!

Well, the weather was great for this totally fun session! It was, as far as I could tell, the first day we had a break in the heat and had a perfect, cool evening. It was so refreshing to be outside! Our itty bitty man was turning 3 months and he was having a totally awesome day; oh so happy!

Any LSU fans out there?

The session was customized with some of mom's special requests. She wanted dad's great interests to be represented in the pictures--how thoughtful! In addition to LSU pics, Dad's love for fishing was the inspiration to our location and these next few shots!

Our big brother got in on the action too-highlighting his love for his little bro. He's a great big brother-getting to know him has been pretty special. What a great kid! If you need some boyscout popcorn, this kid will hook you up!

Lastly, I wanted to capture baby Cullen in his natural states...and a little dressed up. I'm telling you, he had a great evening! I'm pretty certain he was really enjoying the outdoors! Here he is in a few portraits! I fell in love with his eyes! I just want to keep staring. I also enjoy a sweet sleeping baby. The wind seemed to lull him to sleep-it was so peaceful!

I love to mix up styles depending on the "feel" of the picture. Sometimes a natural color, a warm color, or a texture can complete an image to me. The family loved the pictures and that always makes me feel so good!

Family at the Creek!

The family fall session have officially begun! I had a great time with this wonderful family a week ago-they are so awesome! They were so natural together and it was a great morning--really great conditions and a beautiful location. Just look at how happy they are together! Makes me feel so happy inside to capture them :)




One girl and one boy-what a pleasure! Check out these little angels:





Daddy had a great time with both daughter and son. Their individuals just tickle me! Check out the height on that throw!



For all those concerned mommies out there, here he is right after that throw-he's ok, everybody! Haha! He loved it! Mom was a little concerned too, but guess what? She ordered that shot. Hee hee!



Mom's time with the kids was so sweet-just as mommy moments are. What super sweet images they will treasure for a lifetime (or a few lifetimes).




What a great time and adventure :) So glad they chose me to partake!

Liz & Kyle {{MARRIED}}

This couple and I have had an amazing journey! I'm so proud to call them friends. Liz & Kyle are happily married and I was so glad to capture it for them. I can't say enough about the details in this wedding; they were spectacular! Enjoy!



Doesn't it just want to make you get married? So happy for them-they are going to have an amazing journey. For more images, go to my website (under weddings) or see my Facebook page. There are tons of great ones; wish I could show it all! :)
