Bad Santa!

So we went for our traditional Santa Picture and it didn't go so well. We thought the many days of her looking up at the big Santa at our house would ease her into Santa's lap, but "NOPE"...she freaked in true traditional style. I couldn't decide which one was funnier, so I bought both. I look at both of them and they make me laugh... (hahahahah). I present them to you in this quick and easy collage that I created for their display: Merry Christmas!!

Little T, this is Mark and Tina's cute little girl. She did so good during her shoot. She's in the Christmas spirit as you can see. I always love Santa's hat!! She's not on the naughty list, that's for sure, so I expect she'll be getting a ton of toys. Merry Christmas!

A day in the Park....// Houston Children's Photographer

I had a great day in the park with my Mommy and Daddy.  I really like it when my Daddy pulls me in the wagon. 

Pumpkin Girl! // Houston Children's Photographer

Creating traditions, that's what I want to do.  We took our girl to the Old Macdonald Farm to experience her 1st opportunity at a Pumpkin Patch.  She loved it, or well, sort of.  She was scared of the animals and didn't really like the hay.  She enjoyed the train ride and the picking of the pumpkins.  I also had her "fall" shoot in mind as well, tis the only reason for my SLR camera; otherwise, I won't lug, babysit, or carry that thing around.  I usually only take my point and shoot, but... we got some good ones.  It was great, Grandma and Uncle Jacob came too.  

She loved picking out the baby pumpkins!

She needed a drink after all that.  

  

There's a new Baby in the family! // Houston Children's Photographer

Christopher James is his name, and he's my sweet new nephew.  I love getting to photograph my family.  He is so beautiful, and he did an awesome job during his shoot.  I must say looking at him reminds me of my sweet baby girl when she was that small.

1st set of wheels! /// Houston Children's Photographer

Fully Loaded, Fully Automatic.... (Scratch the fully loaded, mommy changed me before we went outside, my diaper was clean as a whistle)... getting (as fast as mommy or daddy) will take me to the gallon.    Yeah... I skipped out on the air-conditioning option, but I'm bringing the 80's back..

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

I can't believe it, it went so fast, one year ago, I gave birth to my baby girl.  I never knew what I had missing in my life.  I find myself in such a rush to get home after work and spend every possible minute with her.  She is such a blessing in my life!!  She came at the right time.  We went to her one year check up where we received her stats, weighing in at 25.12 lbs making her in the 97% range, Ht: 31 inches, putting her in the 95% range for her age group.  I don't suspect she'll be tall simply because I'm at awe at how tall I made it.   My Mom was only about 5'1, and my Dad was about 5'7 in his "prime". I'm 5'7.  - I'm guessing it's the German, because it sure isn't from my Mom's side.   She received 3 shots on her birthday and one "prick" on the finger to test for "Anemia".  She was a real trooper, except she was a bit drowsy for the rest of the day, including towards the end of the night at her Birthday Party.  It was a wonderful celebration, and now I don't know what to do with all of her loot.  I think I am going to have convert my office to a "play room".
