Bad Blogger...

I am so far behind on blogging, so be prepared for overload! The last couple weeks have been crazy. I promise to make it up in cute pictures!

So Mr. Tallan has officially celebrated his 1st birthday! I was so excited that mom asked me to come shoot his birthday party. Tallan still has the best hair of any kid I have ever met...see for yourself!









And the grand finale...This little guy does not like singing!

Marc & Nicole

This was a fun session! I was prepared for blazing heat, but it had just rained and cooled our session off! Marc is a good friend of mine (he did my wedding pictures) and an awesome photographer! He needed some pictures of him and his sweetie.

If you need wedding photos, he is your man! Check him out at www.macbugphotography.com


Seriously, if anyone knows who owns this car, I would really like to get in touch with them!

2010 Dallas Arboretum Pumpkin Patch Mini Session

Miss Ella Grace

Heeeellllllooo Beautiful!! This little peanut was so much fun to photograph. She slept the entire 2 hours and didn't potty on me or my blankets! What a rock star!

I cannot wait to see this little one grow up. Her daddy is going to be in T-R-O-U-B-L-E!! I know mom and dad are dying to see these, so enjoy!

Sometimes it just feels good to help!

I came to know Brooke and her sweet family through a blog I follow. If you haven't checked out Becky Higgin's blog ( http://www.beckyhiggins.com/blog/ ) you are missing out! It's eye candy for photographers and scrapperbookers! This girl has some serious skills!!

Back in May, I noticed she was hosting a Big Photography Giveaway and was dying to participate. I loved the concept of giving away a session to a deserving family. The idea was to submit some of my pictures and have people comment under my post with why they deserved to be chosen. I got an overwhelming number of posts. Of course it was super hard to pick, but between my husband and I...we knew that Brooke and her family were the ones!

I asked Brooke to write up a little about her family, because only her words will do her family justice. I truly enjoyed meeting this family and am so excited to be able to help them. The struggles that they have been through made me come home and love on my husband just a little more. Brooke, you are truly an inspiration!
From Brooke:
We were thrilled to have had Sarah take pictures of our family. We have two daughters (ages 5 and 3) and one son born in January. This past year has been very challenging for our family because my pregnancy with our son was very high risk and I was hospitalized for an extended period of time. Despite our best efforts and care, we lost one of the twins I was carrying and delivered our son 15 weeks early at 1 lb 13 oz and 13 inches long. He spent 4 difficult months in the NICU and has been home for 3 months now. We are so amazed at his progress – he is truly a miracle. We are so happy to have photographs that capture our family relationships after overcoming these challenges together.

As of right now, December is open, but limited.



I know this is alot of info, so please don't hesitate to give me a call!

Lottie~9 Months

I can't believe Miss Lottie is 9 months old already! Someone please stop time!

So our session was a complete disaster! Mother nature was totally working against us. It all started with the blazing heat. We were sweating buckets within 5 minutes of arriving at the Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens. Mom went to put Lottie on a super cool wall and next thing I hear is a massive scream "SNAKE"!! So I go to investigate and see if the snake is gone when all of a sudden, I start feeling a burning sensation on my foot...I had stepped on an ant hill. So I take off screaming "ANTS" and seek refuge in a nearby fountain. At that point, the both of us were laughing so hard we couldn't breathe and were still sweating like crazy. So we decided to head for some shade and ended up getting lost! At that point, we decided that we had had enough and headed for some AC! Despite mother nature, we did get some pretty awesome pictures and a pretty funny story! Thanks Ashley for a great memory!

Hello beautiful!

Lydia~7 days fresh

Welcome to the world Miss Lydia! I am so blessed to be a part of her little life. She was the perfect little newborn...she didn't make a peep until she needed a diaper change!

Sweet baby in a basket! I've been waiting for the chance to use this basket. Mom & Dad have an awesome red porch...I should post the color one too! :)


I promise that I did not in any way enhance the color of mom's eyes...they really are that amazing!



I wish I had done this picture a little differently, but I still love the way it turned out! This is mom's belly cast that she had done while she was still pregnant. Ladies, if you have this done, let me know! I would love to try this shot again!

Happy 1st Birthday Drew!

When Drew's mom first called me about shooting her son's first birthday party, I must admit, I was a little nervous. This was the first birthday party I have ever been asked to shoot, so with mixed feelings, I jumped at the chance. I don't know why I psyched myself out so much because it turned out to be a perfect 1st birthday! I can't wait to do another next month!

Happy 1st Birthday to Drew! I have enjoyed seeing him grow these past couple months. Thank you mom and dad for letting me be a part of your special day.
