Barbara+Patrick+Mackenzie: Family Photographer

Barbara contacted me a few weeks ago with the idea to get some photos taken in honor of Mackenzie's 5th birthday.   Mackenzie is the new sister of two cute kittens named Batman and Robin, and both of these little balls of fur made an appearance in our shoot.

In fact, quite a few animals were present!  We met at Bear Creek Park and watched ducks, geese, owls and bison throughout the morning.  We played in flowers, we swung on swings and we read about dinosaurs- quite the eventful photo shoot.  :)

Mom & Dad Photos!

Notice the geese just beyond her...

Mackenzie settled for a feather when we explained petting the birds probably wasn't a good idea...

I love that her arms are spilling with kittens!

Look at that adoration- too sweet!

The Kirschners: OK family Photographer

Jamie is the second photographer that I've had the opportunity to photograph.  She is the owner and head-photographer of Crackerjack Photography in Oklahoma City.  (Check out her work- she's got some really great projects involving neighbors, television and recycling!)

Jamie wanted some photos of her and her hubby in their new home, so we decided to meet at their house during Josh's lunch break.  Our time was limited, but I think we got some great shots!  Their pup, Zeus, even joined in for a few photos.  (Check him out below- he knows how to high-five!)

Rose family: OK Family Photographer

While I was in Oklahoma, I had the great pleasure of photographing my college roommate, her husband, and their puppy, Jack!  In exchange for room and board, these blissful souls earned a photo shoot!  (I'm all for a good barter)

Truth is, I had a great time staying with them and was honored to take their photos.  I think they make the most adorable family, and thus- the most adorable photos!

We headed out to a nearby park and got to take advantage of the lovely foliage in the area.  It may get cold, but warm autumn colors are a nice perk to living in Oklahoma.

Hah- I'm not sure how much Jack enjoyed being an elf!

Puppy love!

Falyne's pup: NW Houston Pet Photographer

Falyne is a beautiful lady and her pup, Chanel, is just as classy!  Both girls came primped and ready for their photo shoot.

I must say, I've never had such a cooperative pup- Chanel not only stayed in place, but she was more than willing to look at the camera!  She responded to everything from her name to "pretty girl!" 

Chanel's purple bows were the perfect touch too.  Falyne is an avid LSU supporter and let a hint of school spirit shine through in the photos: Geaux Tigers!
