Photos of the Heart-Senior Photographer

Sometimes you meet someone who is so full of life that you find yourself smiling when you are near them. Alex is one of those people! Our shoot in Salado was so much fun!

And here is the proof that it's not just happenstance that she is so happy....like mother, like daughter!

Photos of the Heart-Family Photographer at BLORA

Diana scheduled a family session following her husband's return from Iraq, but I have to admit, that even though I know these are her kids, I have a hard time believing it.

She just doesn't look (or act) old enough to have teenage kids! Sigh. That must mean that I'm getting old and refusing to accept reality!

Here is a sneak peek of our fun at Belton lake!

Simply Adorable-Photos of the Heart-Baby and Child Photographer

This is such a special little girl. I've been photographing her since she was a baby and she only gets cuter with age! We had so much fun even though it was over 100 degrees out! She was the only one completely unfazed by the heat...she just kept running around as cute as you please.

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.

Photos of the Heart-Wedding Photographer in Florence

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

1

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!
