When you live in Texas, you know who you have to cheer for!

These girls are big fans!

Actually Miss C. and her dad are the big fans! Mom and the other girls just love their dad and sister! But we know who they will be cheering for!

This is an AMAZING family. Do I use that word too much? I can't help it! I really am lucky to work with some great families! These girls are wicked smart and super talented. They are all unique and have their own style and personality, but they all share a sweet personality, cute looks, smarts and tons of talent.

I've worked with mom and some of the girls before and they never cease to amaze me. I shouldn't have been surprised to find that Dad and Miss C. are just as fantastic!

I can't wait to share some more pictures, but I have to get these pictures to mom!

I am thankful for..... {Dana Stone-Family Photographer}

...all of the great kids that I get to meet and work with! These kids make me happy just to be near them. I don't have to cajole them or beg them to sit together. I don't ever see them treat each other with anything less that 100% love. (Mom may disagree, but I've never seen their bad side!)

I would turn around for 2 seconds and they would run off and pose, hugging each other and just smile and grin. Honestly, working with them makes me love my job!

I had the chance to shoot with them before and they were great then. See! They loved each other then too!

And just look at these eyelashes! This boy knows he is cute and just can't help it! I have a feeling he will be a heartbreaker when he gets older!

Although I had a blast, hanging out with this great family made me miss my own kids! And a rare picture of me....We had to show off the awesome hat Miss C. let me try on before I left!
