I am constantly telling the families I photograph, that I'd love nothing more than to be a millionaire and have tons of babies! I LOVE babies. This little guy was sooooo handsome and so sweet. He gets his good looks from mom - who is a beauty. Dad is a looker too! (Can't leave out Dad.)
We had a super smooth newborn session and the photos came out so precious! Here are a few of my favorites.
I had the pleasure of shooting (that never sounds right!), photographing the Glover family this year. I don't think I can say this enough, photographs are the key to our children's past. They are irreplaceable and capture our family's history. Whether you hire a professional photographer or just shoot your own photographs - JUST DO IT! Take photos!! You'll regret it later if you don't.
I was thrilled to capture this family's multi-generational portraits! It makes me so happy when a little girl gets to pose with her grandma, great-grandma and parents!! This is the best gift her parents could give her - other than the super cool Butterscotch Pony she got for Xmas.
This sweet angel took to me right away and we had a blast shooting!
Tennille Robinson Lasley 1980-2010 You Are Our Angel Now!
In honor of her birthday WEEK and since she is definitely in heaven dropping down the snow flurries all over Texas and Oklahoma.... I had to post this a few days early!
No excuses... I have been emotionally unable to open and view these files since Tennille passed away in April. I went through the photos and others from her childhood to create a slideshow for her memorial, but after that I couldn't bare it any more. To this day and forever, I will ask God why a gorgeous, brilliant, promising, loving nurse, mother, daughter, wife and friend was taken to heaven at the tender age of 30. I cannot understand it, and it has taken it's toll on me. When we first met, Tennille was inquiring about wedding photography services for her wedding. I asked when she'd like to get together. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined forming such a strong bond with a person I barely knew and with her family. I quickly learned of her condition. A brain tumor that she had been bravely fighting for years, was back. I never once saw her cry, never saw her scared, never saw fear in her eyes. She was always hopeful, optimistic. We'd make plans for the future and chat about what we'd do first when she kicked this cancer's butt. The tale is all too common - in this battle cancer won. Tennille was taken on the wings of angels to heaven in April 2010. I was there to bring in her Dirty 30! Which she said couldn't be that dirty since she couldn't drink YET. But, as soon as she was well, we were going to have a re-do! We went to eat at a Cuban restaurant because it turns out my girl loved latin food! We laughed and joked around and shared stories from our past. In the hospital, I told her that when I get to heaven we are going to party like rock stars and blow the place up. She grabbed my hand so tight and said YES! I knew she was still there in spirit - but her physical body was being depleted. I am grateful the Lord brought me Tennille and her amazing family into my life. I haven't been able to stay in touch just yet because I am still not able to speak without breaking down. I think of you everyday Tennille! I think of your gorgeous son Dylan and what an amazing man he will become and how proud he will make his momma. I think of your grandchild (that's right - I know you are laughing right now old lady!). I think of Charles and how the love I saw him have for you is a love I have never and probably never will see again. I saw the world's most strong and dedicated parents watch their baby girl fight. I can't say anything excpet that I wish I could have stuck my hand in there and pulled that tumor out. But, after all is said, I am so grateful you got your wonderful, beautiful and perfect wedding. No one deserved it more! My love is always with you TT. Always!
