I just don’t have words to explain how much these two have me smitten…  We had perfect weather in the midst of a horrible heat wave.  Thank you God!  They gave me an hour and a forty minutes (to be exact) which made me one happy girl!  I was only expecting to get about 10 minutes out of them!!!  This was their first official family portrait.  We grabbed one at 2 weeks, but this was the real one!  MK and I went shopping last week for their photo shoot!   I think we did pretty good!!  I love how these turned out!  I. AM. ONE. LUCKY. AUNT.This was just 8 months ago!

The day we shot Madison and Parker… the heat index was like 107!  We about died, but manage to get some great shots!  You can’t even tell that they were hot!  Mom, I’m so sad you guys are moving because I loved photographing your kids.  They are GORGEOUS!   Best wishes in Phoenix!

Remember newborn Mary Clare from about a month and a half ago?  She brought her sister back to get her picture taken.  Beautiful Hannah Grace is such a wonderful big sister!!!  Mom you are so lucky to have such great help!!  Hannah Grace I had fun shooting your portraits!  You are such a pretty girl!  I can’t wait to see you all in the fall!

We tried getting Jack’s photos a couple of weeks ago,  they drove all the way down from Rogers and the sky opened up right at appt. time and we had to reschedule.  I felt so bad.  Today we tried again with the heat so bad we could hardly breath… gotta ♥ Arkansas!  But Jack was a trooper and I am very happy with what he gave me!  It was a fun session!  I can’t wait for you to see them all!!

We survived a hot one!  This is my beautiful neice and her family!  Thanks for braving the heat with me!  See you soon!

Congrats J and J!  Webb is a precious addition to your beautiful family!  Josh, he looks just like you!!  Lilly is always a dream to photograph and now I look forward to watching Webb grow up too!  How was dinner?

Since Emma already graduated and is headed to the hill, we are calling this session her 18 year old pics!  Emma is from North Little Rock, my old stomping grounds!  E, you are such a fun girl and you will have the best time in college, I just know!  Good luck in Fayetteville!  Thanks for driving all the way down here for me to “shoot” you!

We ran around in the scorching heat for these pics!  I think they turned out pretty cool!! G, I can’t wait to hear what your future holds!!  Good luck in the fall!

Mom, I tons more smiling ones for ya!!!  These were just my fave!
