Little Lucy

About a month ago I got to meet little baby Lucy.  She was so precious and it was such a joy to be able to photograph her in all of these fun places around the house!  Thank you Jill and Landon for allowing me to take these portraits for you and congrats!!

Happy Father's Day, DOGHD!

I picked this song out for my dad because (1) he's the one that I inherited my love & appreciation for the great artist, Tom Petty & (2) I don't think I could pick out another song that would best describe one of the greatest lessons I've learned from him, don't back down... Just today as I was talking with him on the phone he gave me these words of wisdom, "When you feel like you're at the end of your rope, tie a knot in it & hold on a little longer."

I love you Dad!  Thank you for always being there for me!

American Legion Riders Bridge Party

This past Sunday morning Jay photographed the American Legion Riders Biker Bridge Party in Duncanville, TX at the Duncanville Rd./I-20 bridge. This was a send-through, so to speak, hosted by local Legion members for a larger group of American Legion Riders traveling through the DFW. Check out the slideshow!

Mother's Day 2010

It's actually hard for me to view this posting without starting to tear up. It's been 10 years since I've lived in San Antonio with my family & I love these people so much! Every time I visit now, the drive back to Dallas gets harder to make. On my last visit, we took my mom out to Fredericksburg, TX for a picnic at the Wildflower Seed Farm for Mother's Day. Here are some of my favorite pics of the family. Thank you Jay for keeping your cool & taking some great portraits that we will all cherish!

Lil' Miss Model in the Making
