I can't believe it...Taylor is five already! I met this guy 3 years ago and my how he has grown. He is so adorable and such a nice little gentleman! We had a fun time, as usual, on his Birthday Session and got some wonderful images.

Happy Birthday Taylor!!!

Portraits at the Texas State Fair

2011-10-11T21:06:00.000-05:00

I was in Dallas over the weekend for some shoots and had a really super fun one at the state fair with the Collins kids. It was the oldest's idea to do her 7th B-Day portraits out there...What an AWESOME idea!!! I love how fun and colorful they turned out!!

Thanks for such a great session...the company and rides were fun too!

Miss Cheryl

Caoilinn Turns 7!

2011-09-30T19:09:00.001-05:00

I can hardly believe that I have known this little one since she was just two years old! I absolutely adore her and her family. They are all SO sweet! I feel so privileged to have been able to photograph another birthday of hers.

Her party was at Purple Glaze in Dallas. The kiddos got to choose a ceramic piece and then they got to paint it however they wanted. They really had a blast!

Happy Birthday Caoilinn!!

He Will Be Missed....

2011-09-01T18:36:00.005-05:00

One of the families that I have been working with for many years lost their patriarch, Cy Wagner, two days ago. He was an amazing business man, philanthropist, and, most importantly, husband, father, and friend. He did so much for OU, UTPB, Midland/Odessa and all of West Texas. I feel so honored to have been able to capture so many family memories for them over the years and to have known such a wonderful man.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Wagner family during this tough time. I send you all my love!

Baby Hank

2011-08-29T00:24:00.005-05:00

I spent Saturday morning with an amazing family for Baby Hank's Dedication. It was a lovely ceremony with all of their close family and friends in attendance. Little Hank is such a lucky little guy! He is surrounded by family and friends that love him so much. He is such a good baby. He was passed around constantly throughout the day and he handled it very well. He really only cried when he was hungry. One of my favorite parts of the day was when he was in his Mommy's lap and he was "talking and laughing" (there is a picture of this below) with one of his Grandpa's. He was so precious...it was really beautiful to watch!

Thank you to Deri and Doug for asking me to photograph such a special event! It was wonderful and I feel so honored to have been a part of it!

Enjoy!

I think this is one of my "Top 10" favorite images ever...Uncle Michael was so happy to be holding his nephew. It was wonderful to watch!

The rest of Baby Hank's photos can be seen here for the next 30 days.

Check Out These Fish...

2011-08-12T10:53:00.002-05:00

Here are a couple of fish that my oldest son Austin caught in a little tiny pond in Austin, TX. It gives new meaning to "big fish in a small pond!" He caught several fish, all good size, but these were 2 of the biggest. I have NEVER caught anything larger than a bluegill...I think I could stand right next to him and never catch a thing! The kid knows how to fish! At least we could live off of fish if we had to...

Enjoy!

That is one BIG fish!

This was the small one's mouth...and why I don't like to swim in water where I can't see the bottom!

The Dossett Boys Part 2

I have been terrible about keeping up with posting on my blog lately...So today I am posting a bunch of pictures from Karianne's 5th birthday last week. We had a session in the park that morning and then I got to photograph her birthday party later that afternoon. She is SO adorable, as are her siblings! It was a lot of fun spending time with them...The session pictures are in this post and the B-Day party pics are below in the next post.

I had the pleasure of Photographing Karianne's 5th Birthday party last week. I first met and photographed her when she was only about 4 months old. I can hardly believe that she is five already!! Here are some of the pictures from her party. Happy Birthday!!!!

Prince of Peace Catholic Community-5K Charity Event

2011-04-01T13:16:00.003-05:00

A few weeks ago I photographed the Prince of Peace Catholic Community 5K Charity Event. I feel terrible that I am just now getting them up!! It has been hectic around here with the move and my husband's car accident!!

My Sister-in-Law, Tara Walsh, was one of the organizer's of the event. They did a great job! The turn out was amazing even though it was VERY cold and windy. They had a goal of raising $15,000 and they met that goal!!!!!! Congratulations on your success!

Here are a few images of the event below. All of the images from the event can be seen at this link: POP 5K

While I am not Catholic, I have attended MANY events and weddings at Prince of Peace in Plano. It is a wonderful church community. If you are looking for a new Catholic Church, I highly recommend this one. Everyone is so open and welcoming. Here is a link to their website: http://www.popplano.org/

More pictures to come in a little while to the blog...it won't let me upload for some crazy reason!

The Event Organizers: Bridget Jowid, Tara Walsh and Liz Aldrine

2011-02-09T02:13:00.002-06:00

I can't believe that he is already 3! I have been photographing this family since before he was born...I am sure I have said that before:) Anyway, I went over to his house yesterday morning and photographed his birthday party (which was so fun!) and I also did a session of the family afterward. Here are a few images from the session.

It was so great to see you guys again and spend another birthday with you. It is an honor to photograph the kiddos on their special days! Thanks for a wonderful morning!
