Jackson, Wesley & Marshall

These three brothers are at an age where it can be difficult to get groups shots, but they were so loving towards each other and fun to work with that we got multiple siblings shots that I love. *

*results not typical ;)

This is the baby, Marshall. Don't you love his open mouth smile?



Jackson and Wesley, the eldest and middle brothers.

Aren't they adorable?





Marshall. Is. Delicious. Om,nom,nom.














Thomas, Samuel & Isabel

When I was driving out to this next shoot, I kept thinking "This is very familiar... I think I've been here before..." and sure enough this client now owns the home of a previous client of mine. What are the odds?(Probably pretty good actually, I shoot a LOT of people).

Anyways, it was fun to already know the layout of the house and the house has great light so I was very pleased ;)

This adorable little one is Miss Isabel!

She was such a happy little peanut!



Then she took a short nap and we got her big brothers to come in and love on her. This is probably my favorite shot of the shoot, you can tell she is very much loved and treasured.

This little guy in named Samuel and I think he just may be the cutest thing I've ever seen! It took quite a bit of self control on my part not to steal him ;)

This little man is the eldest and his name is Thomas!





The mom of this family is a photographer, but I've found even if the mom isn't a photographer by profession, generally they are the chief family photo taker. So, I always try to include the mom in as many images with her children as possible. You don't get to go back in time and take pictures, and the window of time when your babies are small is very short.





(Of course we did Daddy and kiddo pictures too, but this blog post is getting LONG).







Natalie & Caleb

This beautiful family always has the best location ideas! This particular shoot was in the yard of a relative with a green thumb, aren't those flowers gorgeous?

The background of this photo is a Huisache tree with gorgeous yellow blooms. It's now high on the list of trees I will be planting in my backyard when I settle down.



Isn't this brown eyed girl beautiful? Natalie has always been photogenic, but now that's she's three she's really starting to enjoy having her photo made, which is always a fun stage :)



Caleb is just now two and a crazy fun ball of energy!



I love pictures where the big sibling is issuing smother love and the younger sibling has decided the path of least resistance is no resistance at all ;)

Patrick & Lizzie

This sweet family wanted a more vintage feel to their shoot so we headed to downtown Bryan to find a location that would match their white-on-white outfits.

It took Lizzie a minute or two to figure out that I was harmless, and I love how she's holding Patrick's hand for reassurance here!

Gosh, is this the cutest little man you've ever seen or what! He is just as sweet as he looks!

Then Lizzie wanted a hand at posing for me too!















Patrick and Lizzie's mom owns the Proud Child boutique and makes the hair pretties you saw in the above pictures. She also makes delightful hats, leggings and booties. Check her out on facebook here! So, we shot a couple of her friend's babies in her hair products during the shoot as well. Didn't she do a great job of picking models?
