Twin Newborn Shoot

These two are absolute angels, and so is their big brother! Jen found out she was having twins and decided to be surprised on the sex of the babies. She had two beautiful baby boys, and I was lucky enough to capture their first couple weeks in this world. Your heart will melt when you see these pics. Jen, you have a beautiful family, I am so happy you chose me as a photographer, and I hope you enjoy your sneak peek and you and your family have a great Christmas together. :)

Week Recap.

First, I am obsessed with this song playing, I just want to dance around my house, with my broom as my microphone...yea I'm a dork. Anyway, to say last week was extremely busy would be an understatement. I had 7 shoots, booked 4 weddings, made my first fancy homemade dinner (I know that's pathetic), and was in Chicago for half of it. I was so tired and decided to visit one of my best friends from 5th grade, and enjoy my "weekend". I just got home today, so sorry for the late post! I want to focus on getting these pictures out asap, so I wanted to do one big combined sneak peek, and elaborate more on them later. Enjoy my little week recap ;)

Chicago fun :)

Now I have to get ready for all my shoots this week! Tomorrow I get to see twin newborn boys, can't wait!

Happy Birthday to my Mom :)

Today is a very special day, it's my mom's birthday! I love my mom so much and don't know what I would do without her. She knows me better than anyone else, is the most genuine person and selfless person I have ever met (you are too dad! :)). You will never see her upset, even though a million people are asking her to do things. She will never say no, I think this is where I get that from too :) I am not the best writer, as most of you can tell from reading my blog...so it's hard to describe how special my mom is to me. Anytime I ever need anything, she is there. She drove to Chicago, found someone to work for her on short notice, when my heart was breaking. She drove to Chicago to be my hair model when I was going to Aveda, now that is a pretty daring of her to do. She will tell me to follow my dreams, even though they seem crazy at the time, as long as it will make me happy. If she can do something, she will, with no doubt in her mind. Even if I am half the mother she is someday, my kids will be extremely lucky :). I hope you have a great day mom, I love you so much!

She always jokes that we get our picture taking skills from her :D

This pic describes her perfectly!

New Year.

2011 has been one great year, probably one of the best ones yet. I am following my dream, meeting all new people along the way, and catching up with old friends. I am currently in Chicago, waiting for the Megabus to come, then have a 6 hour ride home. Can't wait to catch up and finish my pics, annnd start reading the Hunger Games :) I had a great week here, I made my first home cooked meal (which was delicious), met an amazing new client, and got to spend the weekend/week with some special people :)  I will post pics soon...I promise! I'm so excited for the new year to come, and what better way to start it, in a great place with great people...somewhere warm.  Yup, that's right...I think i'm going to Austin!!!! I can't wait...it's not a 100% yet, but pretty close. :) Anyway, I have to start walking to Union Station, but wanted to share the good news...since I can't jump for joy in Starbucks :) Here is a photo that I did last week, blogs are so much better with pictures...especially of someone this adorable. :) Happy Wednesday!!!
