We are terribly pleased to have this elegant young lady as a model for Very Sweet Bows and will continue to support her while she works through this awkward time in her life.

Now that is a true Southern belle right there! You should enter her in a pageant and send that as her head shot (okay, maybe I’ve been watching too much “Toddlers & Tiaras, but I could totally see you doing that).

That is just too cute. “Yes, I’ve got my finger in my nose… and I’m still a lady!” lol

only a large canvas could do this justice.

Oooo – that’s high school black mail material. Too cute :)

Score.

It was a complete pleasure to hang out with these three on a lovely Sunday afternoon at Discovery Green in Houston. In case you can’t tell, the Vazzola family is fun, fun, FUN!  We giggled, snickered, laughed, and I admittedly let out a snort (or two).  Mindy and Rob were just a bundle of quirky, contagious joy and I left our time together refreshed and a firm believer in the power of silly.

Let’s do it again sometime, OK folks?  With or without the camera, I’m down. :)

Once again, I was fortunate enough to have the  assistance of the one and only Chrystal McLemore.

She is SUCH an amazing help (and friend!) and is rapidly developing some mad photo-skills of her own.

Now, I am well-aware that I am, let’s say – lacking a bit in the rumpus department.  This photo, however, not only confirms that fact, but serves as proof that I am actually concave-butted.  Fantastic.

Phenom work, Janica. I think each shoot is as good as it can get and then you go and do something like this and totally redeem yourself (hee hee). Really, really superb.

LOVE these! You are an awesome photographer! Every photo is just great. How the heck is the mom jumping in those heels? I hope you have insurance;)

LizardMarch 5, 2009 - 11:36 am

What a great family! You are so creative, and your talent amazes me daily! It sure can’t hurt to have fun people to work with. Love you!

Matthew SteaffensMarch 5, 2009 - 10:39 pm

One word comes to mind…. Beautiful. I’m loving your clean crisp shooting! I can’t wait to see what your future bring us!

KristinMarch 14, 2009 - 2:31 am

Amazing photography, girl. You have a gift.

The Great Outdoors

o nice to see the kids GET OUTSIDE and truly savor this lovely weather we’ve been having.  There is nothing like the neighborhood children playing together in afternoon sun.

It’s heartwarming, really.

“Cause…cause…I wanted a mushroom and I didn’t got a mushroom”

Seriously, whatever happened to the out-of-breath squeals of “tag, you’re it”?

And little Bill is not one to be left out of the technological loop.  Girlfriend has calls to make!

Bailey is TOOO cute. You are going to have your hands full when she is a teenager, with those looks and that sass.

AmyFebruary 27, 2009 - 2:13 pm

I am convinced that Alden and Parker would be wonderful friends. Alden can’t stand to walk out the door without the DS attached to him. It’s nuts! And that last pic of Bailey: perfection.

Oh my gosh, really? And our parents thought WE were bad back in the 80′s watching tv. Thank goodness we did not have gameboys and cell phones back then.
