Adorable Family Portraits | {Martinez Family}

We got some really great shots with this session! I'll let the pictures do the talking...after three more words: "Cute, Cute, Cute!" Okay, really, that's ONE word, then I repeated it....twice :) Take a look for yourself!

And I am in love with all the blues in this picture:

Thank God for BACKUP!

It's been a rough time lately... I've had my computer crash - Harddrive AND Memory failed.
I had just upgraded my memory! {sigh} So... I had a new harddrive put in, new memory put in. Thank God that I had noticed my computer acting funky and backed up EVERYTHING!
You'd think that that's where the problems ended, no? "No" would be correct!
I let Comp USA techs talk me into installing "CA Internet Security". Why not? It was basically free after a full rebate! That meant I'd be able to go home and get online right away without having to call Norton or reinstall anything. I really do love Norton !
Well, we (my computer and I) got home and I was on hiatus anyway, since I've been preparing the house to be listed for sale. I've been doing repairs, painting, updating, de-cluttering...in other words, Lots of good o'le FUN! When I got an order for a previous session, I wanted to look over the files prior to sending to the lab. My computer would not allow me to install ANYTHING. Not my printer, not my photo-editing software, nada! Back up to Comp USA it went! It took them awhile to get me up and running. This time I did NOT allow them to install CA Internet Suite. [roll eyes] I believe that was the problem with my harddrive this go around! I pulled up reviews from PCMAG.COM and they said that CA Internet had known issues with allowing programs to be installed. I'm back with my beloved Norton 360! It's the BEST! :)

Will be updating Blog soon!
See you then!

Okay........So I lied.

I said the next post would be the family photos, did I?
Well, I just have to post the finished Storyboard for Baby "V" with one of her big brothers playing the Knight!
Then.... I'll post the family shots... :)

Just how cute are they ? !

♥ It !!!

See you @ the next post!

Another Beautiful Baby Girl | {Veronique}

You'll be seeing more of these beautiful kiddos soon, we've got two sessions planned:a family session and one session just for baby! It was so much fun playing dress up, we even got one of her big brothers to help us out by playing "Knight in Shining Armor". Her big brother had a Knight costume, for play time, and I thought it would be a great idea to dress him up and get some Princess Portraits! Veronique's mom came up with this cute hat for her, and using one of my props as the "tail" in the hat, well, you'll see, it came out really cute! Her Mom has collected frogs because of her nickname, and so it was only natural that when little Veronique came along, that she get a few frog themed items as well! She has a Frog hanging basket and Ikea pink frog bowl/cup/bib set and now these pictures will connect the frogs to a Princess theme. I think we've decided on a storyboard on her wall, mounted & hanging from a pink ribbon It was so much fun dressing her up and was even worth having to co-erce the boys into taking pictures!

My next post will be my favorites from the family session :)

I ♥ Storyboards!

Just wanted to show off this adorable Storyboard that was created for Baby "G" :)
"Daughter's are like flowers, they fill the world with Beauty."
I really like this quote, she has brothers, and both she and this storyboard will be the perfect injection of PINK!

This will look great either framed, or mounted. If choosing mounted, you can then add a ribbon for it to hang from, or you can use it leaning up on a mantle, or wall shelf.

I am working on being able to post larger pictures here, but until then... Yeeee Haw!!! by golly, I've GOT IT !! :)

You have got to see these Eyes | {Baby "G"}

Little "G" had her mommy bring her to Dallas (From Houston) and we got to play with all kinds of girly-girl accessories!! At (almost) 6 months, this little beauty has more formal dresses than any other 6 month old I've met! It was fun playing dress up with her! She is sitting up on her own, but a bit unsteady. It was so CUTE the way her toes would curl up and she would push her feet together, trying to steady herself...then slowwwwly, she'd start to tip over. Her mom would reach out and catch her. I tried to sit her down and she would straighten her legs out and put her feet down first. This little girl is ready to stand on her own - at 6 months!! She is an absolute doll with the cutest little spikey hair!! I'll start with a picture that was taken at her Dad's request...to match a photo he has of himself as a baby, but his didn't include a cute pink hairband and a flower!:

What a Cutie | {Trinity}

What am I doing awake at 2:53 a.m.? Posting pictures for mom to see, of course!
 It was pretty breezy today with a storm headed our way, it never did hit us, but it sure did wreak havoc on Trinity's hair!! Trinity's mom (Kat) did her best to keep the "wispy's" away, it was hard work...Just wanted to post some of my favorites - there are quite a bit!!  Thanks for all your help today!
