In Loving Memory.

(1919-2009)

Despite the massive amount of posts that need to happen, I must stop and pay tribute to a pretty amazing man we lost this week. Grandpa, (aka Robert Harold Smith), left us after a very long and happy 89 years. He was known for his love of golf, John Wayne, 'sweets', California, but most of all - his family.

Thank you Grandpa for always being so good to us. Thank you for letting me put curlers in your hair when I was a little girl. Thank you for being my little buddy this past year and always wanting to hold my hand. I love that even on that peaceful night you left us, that is exactly what we were doing.

I love you to bits.

Lindsey and Luis are Getting Hitched!

Lindsey (aka Lulu), a dear friend from High School, recently became engaged to dear Luis. I am so excited for them and anxiously (and nervously) awaiting their wedding next Christmas. They are having their reception at the Ballpark in Arlington and I cannot wait for that photo-op! Here is the first engagement session and by no means the last. Congrats Lulu and Luis and thanks for smiling on such a cold day!

Heading to the Snow Next Week!

Just letting everyone know that I will be in Salt Lake City January 22-27th if anyone wants to get a session in. The snow is so beautiful!

*ps - this is as close as I could get to a winter day in Texas. Utah - let it snow!

The Website is Finished!!

I almost made my goal of launching it by the new year. Click here to see my latest project - this was a lot of work and I am so happy with how it turned out.

Here's to a happy and healthy new year for all!

A Belated Beau Christmas

Here are a few shots of little Beau - now not so little and full of energy! His momma and I made all sorts of funny faces to get this little one to laugh. We were the ones laughing when he decided enough was enough and just simply crawled off the set. We tried again a few days later and were much more successful. Hope it was a great holiday for all!

Round 2

Below is a combination of this and the previous post. Beau and Ruby are already life-long friends, just like their mommas.
