Love this set! She just gets cuter and cuter!

Awww these are so precious! The one with the popsicle dripping down her face should be a huge poster! I love the clarity and colors you’ve used here. Well done!

Funny, she chose RED here too…could anything stain any more???? Of course, Granbob is out of practice a bit, so I forgot that it is OK to let them eat popsicles outside in the buff!!! I LOVED having both of my precious grandbabies for a few days. I’m so glad that you got to visit Matt too!

Oh Goodness! My boys are jealous. That looks like so much fun!

Paul

“Hey, Paul!”

Nothing gives me more giggles than to hear my son Parker’s voice drop an octave and shout out that greeting to our sweet neighbor, Paul.  Parker is rather enamored with “kinda big kids” and it is so fun to watch him light up when Paul will stop to chat with him for a bit.

Paul just graduated from Klein Collins high school and is headed down to Texas A&M Corpus Christie in the fall.  (quite appropriate for this beach-loving family)  I was delighted to take pictures of Paul in all of his Senior-ness…and especially pleased that his completely adorable girlfriend, Jennifer, hopped in for a few shots along the way.

Paul, my friend, you were an incredibly good sport for our photo-extravaganza…especially considering the gaggle of ladies that we had tagging along.  :)  It’s fair to say that you are well-loved!

Can you handle this level of cuteness??  Makes a heart go pitter-pat…

The ones on the tracks are great with the sun coming through the trees, nice effect. I also like the one of just him with the brick wall/white shirt.

These images are GREAT! And they are such a cute couple. Not many couples would have such brilliant photos of themselves. Love them :)

great stuff! he has got some amaaaazing eyes. (and ps, adorable girlfriend. go paul!)

These captures are great! Looks like it was a fun shoot with a great senior. I really like the angle of the shot of just him against the brick wall in the white shirt.

Kristen + Alex = Mia

Don’t you just love it when you meet a child that is a perfect blend of two completely different people??

Sweet little Mia is exactly that.  From her mother’s lovely, milky skin, to her daddy’s hair and deep eyes…she’s the ideal combo!  Kristen and Alex, I’m not sure what kind of happy-juice you are feeding that little girl of yours, but truly,  Mia is just a literal bundle of joy.  She gave out more grins, squeals and adorable deep chuckles than I could keep up with.  What a delight.  :)

As I was going through these pictures on my computer,  I started to notice that in picture after picture after picture, Mia’s little fingers just seemed to be snapping away.  Ya can’t fight the rhythm!

Happy baby.  Happy parents.  Happy family.  Totally infectious.

(and can you even believe Kristen’s gorgeous hair??)

Alex, Kristen, and Mia, you guys just made this easy as pie.

Thank you for sharing your family with me for an afternoon.  You’ve definitely got a good thing going on.  Keep it up.  :)
