Photos of the Heart-Kid Photographer Now and Then

I've known Danielle for a while now and I've had the wonderful opportunity to take pictures of her kids several times now. Their family is moving to California, so I probably won't have another chance to photograph them, so I wanted to share a little before and after..

Here they are almost 2 years ago~





And look at them now! I am always suprised to see how much kids change. It seems like they were all so little....and then poof! They grow up.

I had a call for a last minute wedding...and I am SO glad that I took that call! This was the most amazing, in-love couple and I loved every minute of that afternoon! It was at a vineyard in Florence and the heat was offset by the cool breezes that flowed through the open windows in their honeymoon villa. I loved this and I know that they are going to be one fantastically happy couple!

Thanks for letting me be part of your special day!

Photos of the Heart-Wedding Photographer

I had posted some pictures to Clarissa's facebook page, but since there have been a few blogstalkers looking for a few sneak peaks....enjoy!  It was a fun night in spite of the incredible humidity and rain.  Everyone was so happy and full of joy!

 

  

  

I loved being part of your wedding!

Junie B Jones and a little Monkey Business

I love the theater. I'm not saying I have loved every performance that I have ever seen, but there is something about going to a live performance that is unique and fun and special. There is something about it that can't be replaced by a movie. Sure, the movie won't have tech problems or people forgetting lines, but I love being part of something special right there. I was in a community theater group as a teen, but haven't had the time since.

I have to say I love the kids, cast and crew at Viva Les Arts. They are so energetic and wonderful. They really love what they are doing and it shows! I have seen a handful of the kids in a number of performances and they never fail to do an amazing job. They really are talented!

I am a bit partial though. I have my favorites, kids who have come a long way and others that I know from other places (but I won't mention names 'cause I think they are all great kids!) I am so proud when I see kids I know trying something new and throwing off inhibitions as they act on stage.

VLA just put on Junie B Jones and a Little Monkey Business. If you haven't snagged tickets, there are still some avalible for this weekend's shows. They actually managed to have to complete casts, one elementary school kids and a group of older kids AND deal with flooding the week of the shows! They were amazing and fun...

My daughter is 4 and she was estatically clapping and cheering. She thought it was fascinating how the sets moved and the lights changed. She REALLY loved the magical pink princess number! My son had fun too. He is a bit older and still enjoyed the experience. He's not ready to dive into acting, but I can hold out hope!

I'm a sunflare junkie!

Clarissa and David were such a cute couple. Her spunky personality shinned and David had a great smile...even though he tried to be grumpy! It was fun to spend the morning together and I can't wait for their wedding!

Here are a few pics....starting with sunflare! I love it!

a quick trip to the bluebonnets.....

In spite of a little resistance....we had fun in the flowers. This family is a blast!

Bluebonnets and Beautiful Girls

Kirsten really wanted to find a patch of bluebonnets to capture pictures of the two newest additions to her family....Fortunately, I was able to find this perfect patch just days before our shoot.

The Rainy Day Family.....

I love when I have the chance to spend time with a family that is so full of love. Dad was home on leave from Iraq and his family was obviously thrilled to be able to spend time with him. There was so much love and joy in their home! It's a good thing too, with the dreary, raining morning, it could have been a miserable day....but they were so fun and happy! We even decided to ignore the weather and stomp in puddles for a fantastic shoot!

Sneak peek for a wondeful family!

This was a wonderful family that just adopted 2 adorable, energetic girls! It was so much fun to spend some time with them and see the whole family together!

Keep watching for some new pictures!
