I'm in love with her enthusiasm and love for life. She is ball of energy full of rainbows and sunshine with a ton of sprinkles on top. She made me a mom. She has my heart forever and ever.

Fast forward 23 years later and I have 2 children of my own that I can dress up..except my daughter likes to dress up like a mermaid or my little pony and my son is the spitting image of Martin Gore of Depeche Mode instead of Billy Idol so Destiny will always be the one and only "Baby Idol"
I've wondered down memory lane because the beautiful Destiny has brought her own doll into the world and allowed me to dress him up and take pictures!! Yes, I feel super old now..but also extremely blessed and thankful that I got to play with this little bundle of huggy yummi-ness!! What joy a baby brings with their pink skin, sweet smell and their sleepy nature that lets you bundle them up in sometimes hilarious outfits to capture a moment in time when they are such itty bittys :) I truly love it!
]]>I got excited when they came back to Houston and I was able to photograph the show for Photos From the Pit. No crowd surfing this time but it brought back some awesome memories and of course, I always love seeing a guy in a kilt and there were plenty that night! Be sure to check out my short review HERE along with the rest of the pictures from that amazing show!!
P.S. The Bagpipes were amazing!!

I don't normally shoot weddings and don't consider myself a "wedding photographer". However, I will do them for friends and family because I feel safe knowing that they can't kill me because I'm, well...a family or a friend - and I think that would be looked down upon if they were to kill me.
On July 23rd, I got to photograph a very important wedding. My best friend who I have known since the 2nd grade got married in a small ceremony in their back yard. A lot of family, old friends and new came to see Eric and Tricia take that big step. It was a beautiful wedding and I was so happy and honored that they asked me to shoot it. It was a little hard to see through my camera's viewfinder with tears in my eyes though!
Congratulations to Eric & Tricia Ellingson!!

Who says you can't get good pictures when the sky is gloomy??
I say, as long as you are having fun..and you're safe of course - you can have a perfect portrait session no matter what the weather is like! But always, I repeat ALWAYS bring bubbles!!
]]>Momma & Daddy had so many cute little outfits - it was a fun day of playing dress up, eating donuts and fighting crime! Can't wait to for the 4 month photo shoot!

Massive. I wish I had camera equipped eyes so every time I blinked I took a picture.
