Recently I spent two sessions in one day in Deep Ellum... it is a great place for a session, whether it is children, baby, family, engagement, or senior portraits!   It just so happened that the two clients I had that Sunday each wanted to try an urban session.  And the coincidences didn't stop there... both families also had two boys and they were both the same ages!  How weird (and cool) is that?!?

So that morning I met up with Stacie and Trent and their two beautiful boys.  What a gorgeous family!  We tried a few in Deep Ellum and then headed over to Flagpole Hill near White Rock Lake for a little nature. 

Later that afternoon I met up with Amy and Wes and their cute boys.  We stayed around Deep Ellum and tried a few locations I haven't shot at, like the Latino Cultural Center... love those orange walls!!!  And the boys loved running around!  Active, active, active... and fun!   Here are a few from Deep Ellum, part deux...

So, after hearing so much about what a great place to shoot downtown McKinney, Texas is I finally made it.  And let me tell you... I plan on many more portrait sessions there!  I loved it!  I met up with Paul and Stefani and their gorgeous kids, Jace and Sophie.   We ventured all over the square and the nearby grain mill.  Such a beautiful day and so many great locations! 

I had so much fun with you guys... great to see you again after so many years, Stefani.  Zeta Tau Alpha at UNT was a long time ago and I can't get over how much you still look like you could be there right now!  I'm jealous!

Here are just a few images from the day...

Sunday afternoon... more rain!  We have had so much this fall!  It is kind of cramping my session style, you know?  But the rain didn't stop me from meeting a beautiful Skye.  (Sorry Skye... I'm sure you have heard that your whole life!)

Skye and Chris and their adorable son, Connor had me over to their home for an indoor photo session.   Connor is such a cutie!  We got some family photos and then I enjoyed watching the little man play.   I loved his laughter when Chris pretended to trip.  He couldn't get enough of it!   Which made Skye laugh as well!

I hope you enjoy your preview guys... and it was wonderful to meet you!

As I said in the last post, it was a beautiful weekend in Dallas!  Sunday evening I spent time with Luke and Jacob at one of my favorite locations to shoot, Turtle Creek.  Luke is a classmate of my son's and I was incredibly impressed with his tree climbing abilities and coordination... considering how my son, Campbell, seems to fall all the time!   Jacob and Luke hammed it up on one of the bridges, climbed the rocks, waded in the water and even posed for a few shots with their dog, Oreo.  I have a feeling they'll be going back to explore and play some more in the near future! 

Enjoy your preview, Laurie and Joe!

What a beautiful weekend in Dallas!  Dare I say fall is on it's way???   I was lucky enough to have two sessions this weekend and guess what... all boys! 

Saturday morning I met Jenn and Bill and their oh-so-cute son, Cash.  First of all, let me just say what a beautiful house they had.  We put Cash in dad's guitar case and we even got a family shot with their dog, Ace... check out how long that tongue is!!!   After some shots around the house we headed over to the Dallas Arboretum where Cash could not have looked any cuter in his overalls at the Texas village houses! 

He may have been a serious baby but those adorable cheeks won me over... they get me every time!
Enjoy your preview!
