Courtney & Daniel are some of mine and Derik’s closest friends. They just celebrated their 4th anniversary and wanted to celebrate by getting some photos taken. Courtney is also a photographer in the Houston area.

They just completed their Foster Care training and hope to Foster-to-Adopt sometime in the future. They may have a baby in their home very soon! Y’all are going to be GREAT parents! These may be the last photos of the family of 2… before they become 3.

I’m so excited for you guys and can’t wait to see what God has in store for your future. We had a blast!! Love you guys!

4th Anniversary :) Had too much fun with this one!

This is their adoption shirt – “Love is Waiting”

Last year… we took photos of just the kiddos. This year, mom and dad joined in on the fun. It’s crazy to see how much they’ve grown in just one year – it went by fast. We headed to Mayfield Park, and I knew the kids would love all the peacocks!

Chris and Jill, your family is beautiful! Hope you guys had fun!

peacock!

Mom and Dad

Ok, so one of my “goals” this year was to attend a workshop. Some kind. But I wanted to attend one.

There are some amazing workshops out there. Some far, some close… but never really worked out for my schedule and budget. I’ve always wanted to go to the For the Love Workshop. They had one this last November. It was in Oregon… but with work schedules and weddings to come, it wasn’t possibly for me to go. SOME day… I will hopefully make it to this one!

In the meantime… Ginny Corbett  of Ginny Corbett Photography has put on MANY amazing workshops and I am SO excited that this one is in DALLAS, TX. It’s The Dallas Renew Workshop and seems like it would be just perfect. It’s close, it’s not too long… I wouldn’t have to necessarily take off work. PERFECT!

Me and my good photographer friend are already planning how we can make this work. It would be so amazing to win and such a blessing!

Ginny – you ROCK!!!

I just had to take advantage of the beautiful snow today! Toby had never experienced snow and I think he loved it! Happy Snow Day!

Love the little snow on his nose!

Hahaha!

Stay warm everyone! :)

I met up with my Co-worker, Geno, and his family this weekend. I’ve heard a lot about little Ivan, and seen many photos and videos, but I haven’t yet gotten to meet the little guy. He did so well and was too cute!

Geno, Angie… I hope you love these as much as I do. Thanks for a fun day at the park!

Here’s the little skeleton himself! We had to take photos for Halloween with his little outfit :)

He was a little camera shy at first…

too precious!

but he started to warm up…

especially when mom did this…

Dad occupied him with tons of toys…

haha

DAD! – where are you going with those toys?

sly little guy :)

HAHA – CHEESE!

Angie – I love this picture of you :)

His Dad definitely had the toys working for us :)

Ivan’s first time on the swing :)

Love this series :)

He was done for the day – but – you did so good Ivan!!!
