3*7*15 [coffee]

quite an adventure shoot in cypress bayou with a gorgeous family of 5! we went on a gator safari, and came face to face with an armadillo. we treasure hunted along abandoned railroad tracks, and ended the session with some good ol' puddle jumpin'. my muddy boots are a sign of a day very well spent... 
it began with pristine matilda jane ensembles on a warm, dry, screened-in porch. we ended up with mud boots, play clothes, and a big murky puddle. and guess who could NOT have been happier about this?

 
 
sometimes it takes the littles a bit to warm up to the stranger behind the camera. but after a couple of random, three-year-old-style conversations about tigers & a few shy smiles, this one quietly reached up to hold my hand in the driveway. and...it pretty much made my day.
 
break time! mason jar snacks back in the cabin for lammie and the girls...
reviewing the map of cypress bayou with daddy...

when i look into her eyes these days, i sometimes see yesterday's toddler, and occasionally, tomorrow's teenager...

home sweet home...

first project of 2015! working on some images of my parents home in bartlesville, oklahoma, originally a farm house built around 1936. i've always loved everything about this place, as well as the priceless memories we've created on the other side of that door...

this romantic couple made time for a photo-shoot during their visit from prague, and i am so happy they did! i so enjoyed my time with them. our session began with steaming hot tea on the arlington veranda, and ended in the glow of a beautiful lake hamilton sunset. thank you, alexandra & gunnar - it was truly delightful!
