Hermann Park Family Session

You may recognize some of these folks from an E-Session that I shot last year...Brennan and Rachel got the family together for a park session and we had such a ball! Brennan's nephew was a riot, and made the family laugh the whole time, which is always good for pictures! This shoot was actually a few families in one. We started with Brennan and Rachel and his immediate family; then the rest of the brood met up with us and we continued on from there. What a wonderful group of people!

7 Months and Beyond!

I can't believe M is 7 months old already! Gosh how time has just flown. She is sitting up, rolling over, babbling and generally making life grand. :)

E-Session, Baseball Style

Missy and Greg met in High School when Missy managed the baseball team that Greg played on, but it wasn't love at first sight. "Honestly, I thought he was sort of annoying" Missy laughs, when asked about what she thought of Greg back then. They hung out in the same circles, but "never really connected" according to Greg. Fast forward 10 years or so, and Greg looks Missy up on Facebook, giving her the best pick up line ever, "we should go out sometime". Wow! What a zinger! But I guess his charm won her over, because 2 years later when he asked for her hand in marriage, she accepted and here we are. Since Baseball has been such a big part of not only their lives separately, but their lives together, we couldn't think of a better way to showcase their relationship. We originally wanted to shoot at Minute Maid Park, but due to the Astros schedule, it was a no-go. So off to the local ballpark we went, and we were able to make a day of it on a smaller scale. What a wonderful couple...I can't wait to shoot their wedding in April! Between Greg's silly antics and Missy's winning charm, they really are the perfect balance for each other.

Meredith 4 months

It's that time again. My poor daughter is going to learn to live her life in front of the camera. She is only 4 months old (well, 4 1/2 really) and already she has over 1,000 photos/5 photo shoots under her tiny belt!
She is really coming into her own personality now, and I must say I love it. The best part of my day is waking up to this smiling face. Here are a few shots from today's 4 month shoot.
The fabrics that I use for backdrops will be made into a quilt for her 1st birthday. I can't wait to put it all together, and although I look forward to her next milestones, I am in no rush to see her grow up.

Madison turns 3!!!

I've been photographing Madison since she was born, and I would be lying if I said I didn't love it! Her mom would describe it as "herding cats", but I just love to watch her play and run around. No problem at all capturing some candid shots of this little one! What a sweetie pie! We were even able to get a few shots of the family dog, Amy!

Little Bit is Getting Big!

It has been a bit hectic around the Stockholm house these last few months. Meredith is now 3 months old and just full of smiles, which is great for pictures! We're loving being parents, and have be so blessed with this little angel.
Here are a few shots from the last 3 months. It's not always smiles, but even when she is upset, I can't help but think it's cute. HA!
