Brad+Michelle+Kyle+Kim: Family Photorapher

Michelle is a co-worker of Elizabeth's (you may remember her precious little babe from August) and contacted me to get some updated family photos of her own bunch.

I must say, I don't often get the opportunity to photograph families with children above the age of 8, and I was stunned at how still everyone was!  They all just stood there... and smiled... beautifully.  :)

Needless to say, it was a piece of cake to get some gorgeous shots of this pretty family. 

Brooklyn: Senior Pictures

Brooklyn is another gorgeous senior; she is a friend of Alyssa -a neighbor and fellow ROTC-er.  Actually, Brooklyn was involved in a LOT in high school (reference her letter jacket to see her extensive collection of patches!)

Mom escorted her and offered helpful advice about real smiles, which side her hair should fall on and other general things that it seems a mother's eye catches best.

We started off at Telge park and headed to the same railroad tracks that Alyssa stopped at just two weeks prior.

Dresses can be a lot of fun-

Here is Brooklyn's ad for pinecone shaped -and scented- air fresheners!

Brooklyn really mastered this old pin-up style

...another daredevil

It's crazy how much she looks like her mom- so lovely!

Shannon: Houston Senior Photographer

I had an amazing time with this classic beauty; she was so easy to work with!  Shannon has a million dollar smile, amazing red hair and an easy-going attitude.  Needless to say, she made my job a breeze.

We met at Telge park, and Shannon had a small team to help with wardrobe- Mom, Dad, sister-in-law and her cutie-patootie nephew, who made an unforgettable appearance in the formal portion of our shoot!  (Have I ever mentioned how much I love personal touches?)

Shannon is attending A&M after graduation (following family tradition), and my guess is she is going to do splendidly!

Umm.. her hair is amazing, right?

Gig 'em!

One for mom-

ADORABLE!

I loved this casual, little dress-

We went for a little hike and found an awesome old tree-

Alyssa: Houston Senior Pictures

Alyssa is definitely the most adventurous senior I've ever photographed!  I had a blast with her and her mom, Isabella, this past weekend.

Alyssa began the shoot by wading  through the creek at Telge park.  She followed it up with some barefooted hiking, sitting in a hole, and climbing a tree.  I admired her bravery (and mischievousness) and smiled as Isabella followed nearly every step.  It is so obvious where Alyssa gets the adventure from!

The three of us powered through the shoot like a set of musketeers.  We shot at Telge, headed to the railroad tracks, set up in front of a bright blue garage door Isabella spotted, and even had time to go feed the ducks!

The day ended perfectly with a delicious Smoothie King smoothie.  Ahhh.. a hard day's work deserves a sweet treat!

Climbing trees... sitting in holes...

...looking for railroad spikes

This girl is too cool.

Tattoos are so often hit or miss... I really liked Alyssa's

I bet she's the first senior to ever feed ducks for her pictures!

I swear this shot could be an advert for American Eagle...

..the adventurous twosome
