jane ann

here are photos from a recent session with a beautiful little girl named jane ann.  she was so great: non-stop smiles and big blue eyes.  i really enjoyed meeting her and her family!  big brother joined in for a few too...  say hello to jane ann and samuel!

ian

here are some photos from a recent session with a new little cutie named ian.  he was so sweet and was such a trooper!  we went down to some really pretty areas at the zilker botanical gardens here in austin.  he got sleepy so we are going to meet again, but here are a few from the first session.  say hello to ian!

wiley

one of my favorite rascals, wiley, just had a new baby sister named chase.  i'll have her pictures up after her announcement goes out... but for now, wiley gets his own post :-)  his pictures were just so cute i thought big brother deserved his own page.  everyone say hello to wiley!

pierce

take a look at a recent session at the dallas arboretum with the pierce family.  i always have so much fun with them and this time was no exception.  it was SOO hot but we made it through, though i think i might think twice about a 5 pm session in july.  either way, we got some great shots.  also, dad cary pierce is 1/2 of the local acoustic duo jackopierce.  they have a new album coming out on august 22 and you can access their site from my links over to your right.  say hello to the pierce family!

camp dallas

here are a bunch of pictures from charlie's visit to dallas.  he came to stay with my parents for a week, and he and ryan and luke had a BLAST.  they all love fire trucks, tractors, and trains etc. and got along so well.  my mom and i took ryan and charlie to the dallas aquarium, we all went to the fire station many times, and out to eat at some of my favorite places from my childhood... like the highland park pharmacy.  here are some pictures from camp dallas!  (ps.  the first few are from my iphone, so not the greatest ha ha)

charlie

time to meet charlie!  he is the oldest of all 6 of my nieces and nephews...  but he's not yet 3.  so yes, my family has been busy.  charlie is such a sweet boy and getting so big...  he talks up a storm and has quite the imagination.  oh, and his favorite color is yellow.  :-)  say hello to charlie!

the girlies

okay, time to meet some more of my siblings' kids!  these are my twin nieces, anna and libby.  they have a big brother, charlie, who is coming up in his own post next.  my sweet girls are getting so big, it makes me sad.  i used to nanny for them when they were tiny which now seems like so long ago.  they are at such a fun age right now, they learn something new every day and keep us all laughing.  and definitely on our toes...  say hello to libby and anna!

welcome home, jack

baby jack is home!  my sister's newest little boy joined the family on july 26th.  he is beautiful and his brothers are excited...  most of the time :-)  i'll have his first real photo shoot up after his announcement goes out, but for now, say hello to baby jack!
