Meet the Aston Family. Also we call them some of the sweetest people we have ever met. No, seriously, salt of the earth type folks. I met Maite (that is pronounced mai-tay:) while hanging out with a group of close girl friends over a year ago, and just loved her from the start. She truly has the most sincere sun-shiney personality ever. She was telling all of us that she moved with her husband from Spain to California, and then from California to central Texas, where she is now. All of the ladies in the group are just going on about how hard that must be for her, and Maite just said, "no, it's an adventure, and I love my husband and family, so we live here now." 

In mid November of last fall we hosted an all day mini-session event in the ft. worth area. We like to do this annually in that area of Texas as a way of serving all of our family and their friends too!

Hello readers and clients from a far,

If you have been putting off booking a family session all year, or years, don't let your children grow another inch without letting us capture their unique personalities forever.

I do have family in ft. worth, so once a year, I like to offer a weekend up for our people in the D/FW area. Announcing the date....
Saturday, November 19th we will be booking mini-sessions! Contact ME for more info on reserving your session.

First off, yes, this family is absolutely as sweet as their name sounds. We completely enjoyed our time with both their rambunctious oldest daughter, Fiona and their newest sweetest baby girl, Eloise. (I love their choice in romantic, feminine names for the girls, so lovely.)

Meet Fiona,

And the new sweet, Eloise,
She was not exactly happy with me for putting her in that tutu, but c'mon, look at how adorable she is! Still gushing on her cuteness.

It just doesn't get better in my opinion, than the summertime sun-bursty pictures with the whole family. It makes me almost exclusively want to shoot family photos during the summertime. This light, look, and texture is hard to beat folks. Something to consider for those of you wanting to procrastinate Holiday photos until December 20th. (Smiles) Wouldn't you rather have pictures of everyone warm, tanned, and happy? Rather than freezing, red nosed, and un-warmed by the winter sun? All that to say, enjoy this series of warm, summery, happy pictures!  



I always like to grab a few moments with just mom and dad, to help them remember life before their little blessings. A few of Emily and Daniel.
Also, I think this one is ready for modeling, look at her little stare back at my camera, so adorable.

Eloise couldn't stop looking at her Mama in this picture.

What Fiona was doing while we were taking pictures of Eloise. The prize for good picture taking, yay! Yes, we totally bribe your children for good photos, unashamedly. 

And one last one of the whole family.

I hope you enjoyed meeting the Posey family as much as I enjoyed being with them!

It is always such an honor to be a part of a little baby's first year of life. They change so rapidly over that one year period, and it is a tremendous blessing to get to capture them as they evolve into the little boy/girl they will start to look like and become.

 I have so enjoyed every shoot with this little guy and of course his older brother, Owen too! Grady is true to his personality now, at age one, as he was as a newborn, so chill.  But he was completely aware at his newborn shoot too, as you can tell in the photo. He may be a calm cool, collected, fellow, but he is not missing much that is for sure. An observant peacemaking sort of guy, and in my opinion the world can use more guys like this. I am eager to continue to watch this little one grow up to become a fun little boy too, like his older brother!

Just to give you an idea of what I meant by how quickly newbies grow, here are just four images from Grady's different milestone photo shoots over this past year:

Can you believe that little tiny baby is already that one year old baby boy in the bottom picture?! I certainly cannot.

Here are a few more of my favorites from his One Year Session, enjoy!
And one of big brother Owen, looking especially old after his new big boy haircut.
And finally, the first taste of birthday cake. I think he's hooked. I love the look of suspicion in the first picture, followed by the one of his first taste, and then the full on abandon to shovel as fast as he can in to his mouth!  
Happy Birthday, sweet Grady.
