Alternate title: Taryn needs to keep her big mouth shut!

Seriously. Yesterday, for some reason unknown to me, Taryn taught Teagan all about “the binky fairy”. How she knows about this I have no clue but she convinced him the binky fairy is awesome, she took her binkies (uhm, no she didn’t, Taryn never took binkies). Really, she told him he’d get a new fun toy. Shockingly, duder jumped on that wagon. I say shockingly because he is majorly attached to the bink. I never dreamed he’d have them at age 3, it’s just not our style to continue use that long, but with him, things were different. On his tough days he needed them, for comfort, to cope and he […]

Wow, I just can’t believe it has been a year. This family is just so special to me, I adore them. And I’m so glad that even though their baby plan is now completed that I’ll still get to see them, that makes my heart sing! I just love watching the babies that I photographed on the day they were born grow up!! Happy birthday sweet baby girl!

ps – Babies in pearls? Yes. Please. And thank you! Swoon!!

This little guy has been on the blog quite a few times. He’s one of my baby planners, you can see him as a newborn and at 7ish months here. This year has gone by so incredibly fast and it has been such a joy to watch him grow and spend time with his family. He made us work for this session, mostly his momma, bless her heart! We got him though and I love the results. Danielle and Grant, congrats on making it through the first year, the second will be a blast too! Come to think of it, he’s my last baby planner! Hmmm, right about now I’m wondering who’s bright idea it was to […]

Trees wearing sweaters are funny.

My second session of the day involved trees wearing sweaters. For real. I couldn’t make that up if I tried! Thanks to the Knitted Wonderland exhibit at the Blanton Museum of Art at UT. Very cool and the perfect location for a bright, funny toddler! Amy I hope you like these and that they are worth the wait!!

Today is the first official day of spring and I can’t think of a better way to mark this day than by spending it with this little sweetie, ruffle bum and all. Thank you Krista, Travis & Tyler for inviting me to photograph your new addition, it was an honor.
