Just a few of my wonderful and handsome silly boy. We ventured out the other day and took him to Houston's Downtown Aquarium. Then I took a few more a few days later on a beautiful, breezy day.

I love him! Oh and that gorgeous beanie that I won from Adorable You. Remember that giveaway I posted a few wks back hosted by the talented Shauna Sotelo Photography? Well I WON! So happy!! Thanks again Shauna...

Anyways, ya know a typical mom/photographer. Always taking pictures of those priceless moments and Im so glad I follow my son almost 24/7 with my Nikon. He's growing up too fast! :/

Enjoy a few of my son at almost 18 months.. :)
 
Wow...13 days since Ive blogged! Im feeling a bit off...lol! I'm glad to be back! If you follow me on FB then you may have seen some of these photos but I just have to share.

Found this DIY project on the lovely Pinterest and Im very happy with my results. So far i've made 3 and look forward to using them for my next photoshoot!
Enjoy!!!
 
Here are a few images of my son from the other day. He is my heart. I know any parent reading this can relate. He is my greatest reason to reach dreams, goals, and just live happy. I still remember the day our doctor told us we were expecting a baby boy! We wanted one..lol. My husband wanted a son and me, growing up with only sisters, knew I wanted a little boy since the beginning. We knew it...you know you just have that gut feeling telling you its a "boy" or a "girl." We knew he was a boy all along and my hub even dreamt of a little boy. Crazy right?! I just remember the doc saying "It's a boy" and Steven's arm shooting straight in the air saying "YES!" lol...we were so happy! Still are!

He is the sweet and wonderful gift God has blessed me and my husband with. He is our Caleb. Almost 17 months young. So happy and silly. He loves to run, dance, play with his blocks, sing, ride his fav. toy truck, AND pretend talk on the phone as you can see in one of the photos below! LOL. He is a happy little boy with the cutest dimples! He makes us happy.

This lady is a beauty and I'm very grateful she was part of this shoot. Thank you Teresa! You are too awesome ♥ It was a little chilly and cloudy. Seemed like it would rain...never did. I'm so glad it didn't! Enjoy this images...

I cannot promise you a life of sunshine;
I cannot promise riches, wealth, or gold;
I cannot promise you an easy pathway
That leads away from change or growing old.

But I can promise all my heart's devotion;
A smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;
A love that's ever true and ever growing;
A hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.

I woke up a few months ago with some amazing ideas. I was invisioning a character we all know by either the most recent movie or the old time favorite childhood story. I knew I wanted to keep the background of the story the same but change it up just a bit..I was thinking of Little Red Riding Hood that is!

I knew I wanted to do this shoot in a sort of mystical and rural scenery with lots of trees. I pictured a beautiful young girl with her rood hood running from the BIG BAD WOLF! The wolf...well with all the remakes of what wolves look like lately I knew would be young and handsome. Christian who plays the wolf and Alejandra who plays Little Red were the perfect match for this gig. Im so thankful and happy you guys were a part of this little dream/vision of mine and couldn't imagine anyone else doing these parts. You guys were awesome and totally ROCKED IT!

We met up in the afternoon and ended up in the woods/trails of a park. It was muddy...haha, REALLY muddy. We even ran across a little family of Hogs..baby and all. Christian and Alejandra are so photogenic...future superstars if you ask me and they're in love too! Even better...chemistry and all. Anyways they did an amazing job and well, just scroll down to see the images of this story line....although we changed the ending up a bit. You will see....hope you enjoy Little Red and her Wolf.

It's Blog time! I've made it a goal to at least blog once a week in 2012...this is the 2nd blog of the year.

Baby Landon was such a pleasure to work with. His dad Oscar and Landon were the winners of my Standard Session giveaway. The shoot went very smooth. He never fussed or cried at all. He is such a good little baby boy. ☺ He was very calm and "cooperative" during the shoot and even gave me a few smiles that just melted my heart...oh and he was the CUTEST little Santa around! I enjoyed every min. of it and hope I get to photograph him and his papa Oscar once he's a little bigger!

Thank you Oscar for allowing the pleasure to capture these precious moments of your sweet blessing Landon. We parents know that these children of ours grow way to fast....glad I was there to capture these moments for you!
