Missing blogging + Fall + L.A.'s 1st Birthday!!! (Lubbock Kid's Photographer)

So it's been forever and a day since my last post and to be honest, I've missed blogging.  There's something soothng about writing your thoughts down that leaves me with a feeling of accomplishment.  Yes, it still scares the bejezus out of me, but I'm working on it.  Try as I may I can't escape the fear that comes with putting oneself out there for the world to judge.  That's the funny thing about art; you appreciate it, respect it when it 'speaks' to you or you think it's been done well, but it's all so subjective and where one person can love it others are left wondering, what all the fuss is about.   

So, as I try to overcome my fears and thoughts of utter and complete failure, I'll do my best to remember that now, in this moment I am on a journey.  Where my destination will lead for the moment is unclear, but as I truck along this road I'll be sure and have my dreams in tow! :)  

The weather is finally changing here in West Texas.  It's gone from HOT and humid to HOT and dusty ;) and now we've arrived at my favorite time of the year FALL!!!  The leaves have changed colors and you can just feel it's autumn by the crisp cool air.  It's the time of fireplaces being lit in the evenings, families snuggling under blankets, and some good ol fashioned football! 

A few months ago, waaaay before the shift to Autumn (told ya it'd been forever and a day since I blogged), I had the pleasure of photographing L.A.'s (Little Anthony) 1st birthday party!  I've worked with Anthony (the big one) for the past four years and have enjoyed seeing his Lil Man grow.  We had a great time at Texas, I mean, Lubbock Water Rampage (who knew they'd changed their name?) splashing around and enjoying the sun!  Here are a few favorites from our day! 



















Anthony and Veronica, thank you again so much for allowing me to share in L.A.'s 1st birthday!  I look forward to more good times with your lil family!  :)

Paisley (Lubbock Kid's Photographer)

Paisley is no stranger to having her picture taken.  In fact, at only 1 yr old she's quite the lil model!  :)  Now that could have something to do with my good friend April and her LOVE for all things cute, girly, princessy, and pink and dare I say, anything with ruffles!  ;)  Paisley (and Paige before her) are April's real live little dolls that are on their way to becoming just as gorgeous and girly as their Mama! 

April and I went out to take some pics of Paisley right after her 1st birthday to have a some fun with a cake smash!  Here are a few of my favorites from that day! 








I just love that lil smile!  :) 


Paiton, Paisley & Paige






mmmm!!!  :)












April, thank you so much for allowing me to document this special time in Paisley's life!  I had such a blast!  

Till next time

Jaden's Yabba Dabba Doo Birthday!!! (Lubbock Kids Photographer)


Kid's birthday parties are so much fun!  Even more fun for me when I'm asked to bring along my camera!  :)  A few months ago I had the pleasure of shooting Jaden's 10th Birthday Party!  It was a great Bedrockin' time full of bowling, games, pizza and the entire Flinstone clan! 

It's not everyday that you turn 10 years old!  I remember it being such an exciting time!  You're FINALLY entering the age of double digits and you can just feel yourself getting closer and closer to becoming a bonafide teenager!  :) 

It's so hard to believe that even though it feels like just yesterday, it's been already 10 years since we all sat on the floor in the hallway of the hospital waiting ever so patiently for Jaden's arrival.  Becky was the first of our lil group of friends to become a Mom and we were all sooo excited to finally meet him!  And then there he was; all gorgeous and new, with love just ooozing out of him!  He had a room full of women in the palm of his hand in the first few minutes of his birth, and funnily enough, not a lot has changed since then! :)  Jaden is still quite a looker, and the ladies, well, the ladies love him!  But they'd best keep their distance, for his Mama's group of crazy girl friends are keeping their eyes on you!  ;) 

Here are a few of my favorites from Jaden's big day!
