My Uber cool Niece and Nephew

bluemutt — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 20:55:17 +0000

The words Deep Ellum and kids usually don’t go together but I decided to give it a go – and I am absolutely in love with the results! Of course it helps when you have two cool kiddos with some awesome sunglasses

Here is a quick sneak peak to wet your appetite. There are many, many more to come. I just couldn’t resist putting these up right away!

Macy & Mallory

Meet Macy and Mallory – two beautiful sisters. I am so lucky because I get to live right next door to them. They are huge fans of Willie and love to play soccer with him. A few weeks ago we loaded up and headed to the Dallas Arboretum for a morning of play and photos. I am super happy with the way their photo session turned out because I really do feel like it captures their loving, silly, and happy personalities.

That’s Mallory in the blue and Macy in the purple. So beautiful!

This is Macy’s impression of Willie… pretty darn cute!

baby judah

Meet beautiful baby Judah, only 2 weeks old and ready for his first photo shoot. He is such a sweet baby and his parents couldn’t be better people if they tried. I just love this family so much. I was lucky enough to meet Judah’s mom, Amy, at my first architecture job here in Dallas. We became fast friends and now I am honored to photograph her new baby. I am excited to see Judah grow and Amy become an amazing mom. Congratulations!

And the proud papa – Kris.

These are two of my favorite photos from the shoot! I love his little tootsies and the photo of their little family is perfect.

I snapped this photo on the left before the session started. I was working on the lighting and noticed his little chin and pouty lips and just couldn’t resist

Harper

I was lucky enough to go to Indianapolis recently to visit family! Harper is my youngest niece and is growing SO fast! This was her just one year ago.

Now she is on the move – seriously, good luck getting this beautiful girl to sit still for a photo. Harper can be a little shy when you first meet her, but once she’s over that – she is ready to show you her dance moves and huge smile! I just love her little personality She is so happy and on the go, go, go!

I also love her adorable little dress – just too cute. It is a Matilda Jane. A creative new take on children’s clothing made by a young woman just like you and me. Check out her site – it is uber cool, and super sweet.

Girls love their shoes – wish I could pull these off.

I was able to catch a photo of Harper’s older brother, Cameron, on his way to the neighborhood pool. Can you tell they are brother and sister??

Little Will

Little Will has got to be one of the sweetest babies in Dallas. It was such a delight to photograph him and his new parents. I was lucky enough to meet Will’s parents shortly after moving to Dallas 5 years ago, which made this newborn session that much more special. I am so excited to see this little one grow and change, and I hope to keep on photographing him Of course there are a million photos that I love and want to share so I had to split them into two posts. Commence Cooing… … now!

Beautiful Ansley

My niece and I recently got to go on another “adventure” together – which is code for a photo shoot with me! Ansley is 2.5 years old and just too cute for words, really – I mean it. One of her all time favorite things to do is sssswwwwwiiiinnggg! This girl loves to swing and recently she has started swinging with her eyes closed, which make my stomach turn just watching her – when did I get so old? I love the lighting in the photos – we started out very early in the morning, while the sun was still very low in the sky. You can see in some of the photos I was playing with getting the sunlight in her hair. I just love how carefree children are and I love being able to capture that through photography – Enjoy!

Cameron and Ben

Cameron + Ben = Cuteness!

I had so much fun getting to know and playing with, I mean photographing these two sweetie pies! Even though they are brother and sister they still had very different personalities. Cameron was a little shy at first and had to be brought out of her shell. While her brother, Ben, was ready to GO – jumping, laughing, and being silly. We did the photo session at their grandmother’s brand new house, huge windows and tons of natural light. The best part was the windows didn’t have blinds or curtains on them yet! One tip for indoor photography: if the window has blinds, pull them all the way up (don’t just open the slats). You would not believe how much more light it lets in. It might not be perceptible to our eyes, but the camera knows… smart, smart camera

hope you enjoy these photos and the silliness! I am loving adding child photography to my business here in Dallas!

“No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed”

bluemutt — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:31:12 +0000

I am so lucky to have such a beautiful niece, Ansley. She has become a bit of my muse – which I think she’s okay with because it means she gets to go on “adventures” with Aunt Alli.

Ansley loves to sing “Five Little Monkeys” and also loves the line of books by Eileen Christelow: Five Little Monkeys. She was so excited when her mom and I gave her permission to jump on the bed. These photos remind me how fun it is to be a kid!

More Snow Photos!

bluemutt — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 21:57:09 +0000

I still can’t believe how much snow we got here in Dallas… and only a couple days later it’s already all melted. I took so many photos! I was super excited when my neighbors, who also had no power, invited me to go sledding with them at Flag Pole Hill. Their two girls Mallory and Macy are just too sweet!

And did I mention that Willie, Mr. Blue Mutt, loved every minute of it! Here he is standing in our backyard – the snow came up to his tummy

The snow on the trees was beautiful!

Here is Willie diving into the snow after his soccer ball

Luckiest Aunt in The World!

bluemutt — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 23:44:43 +0000

I might be biased, but I’m pretty sure I am one of the luckiest aunt’s in the entire world. Ansley is almost two and Wesley will be four in October. I went to visit them before the summer season was over because they told me they wanted to show me how they can swim… and swim we did – about 2 times a day! They love to swim and eat popsicles in the pool. Wesley even swims underwater, he looks a lot like a frog! And Ansley is so brave she jumps right into the deep end without even blinking… not without her fashionable floaties that is.

Here they are patiently waiting for their popsicles.

Here is Ansley preparing to jump in… just too cute!

On the next trip we are planning to see if Mr. Blue Mutt would like to swim… we know he likes his summer baths, and baby pools! I’ll keep you posted!
