Last year, I photographed this beautiful mommy and her three boys right around mother’s day.  It wasn’t the first time I had seen them… since I had photographed them before on more than one occasion.  Shortly after that mommy and me session, she get the worst news any mother would want to hear.  One of her sons was not well, and it would mean that their whole world as they knew would be turned around.  It meant doctors visits, treatments, relocating to a new city, and distance between her and her hubby.  It meant that the life she lived would be different as long as her little guy was fighting for his life.

Hearing this news made me realize one thing.  Life really can change an instant.  It means that we do need to cherish every moment with our little ones because from one day to the next it can all change.  And it means that every day is a gift… and we need to live each day with grateful hearts.

This past May, the “S” family returned to San Antonio and they came back with great news.  Not only did their little boy win the biggest fight of his life, but his beautiful mother is now expecting boy #4.  And y’all my heart is happy!  I have a feeling I will be seeing them again… this time as a family of 6!

As much as I love summer, this heat has me missing SPRING.  It is just my favorite time the year for many reasons.  Mainly because the colors in nature start changing and we are surrounded by all shades of green.  Flowers begin to bloom… and well the weather isn’t too bad.

and so as we endure this crazy heat in Texas I want to remind you that before we know it… Spring will be here and we get to see images like these!

you don’t even understand what it means to me to see your kids grow up in front of my camera lens.  And little miss “J” has been photographed by yours truly since she was teeny tiny.  Every time I see her, I am amazed with her little personality.  And on this spring morning she surprised me with her energy and sparkle.  her shyness disappeared since the last time I saw her, and she didn’t mind showing me ballet moves or posing for the camera.  She wore that crown with confidence…

Miss “J” …keep on dancing and showing your sparkle because the world needs that right now.

Looking back at the year when I turned 13… and yes it was quite a long time ago… I remember that was the year of so much change. It was the time in my life.. when I was too old to play with dolls but too young to really understand this think we call life.  But most of all.. it was a time when worries were almost invisible and there was a sense of wonder in everything I did.

this sweet girl.. who I have photographed since she was itty bitty..turned 13 last month and she is at a point in her life when so many things are changing all around her and she is discovering who she is.  She is surrounded by true friends and a family that loves her… and because of that… no matter how different things are in the next few years there is one thing that will always remain the same… her sweet, lovable, kind-hearted spirit.

Every year I offer sessions just for mamas and their kiddos… and I do this because I know how important it is for moms to get in the picture too.  Many times we are the ones behind the camera, snapping the every day pictures of our family, and therefore there are a minimal amount of photographs of us with our kids (selfies don’t count!).  And so, on this one weekend, mamas get to get dressed up… looking as beautiful as always… and I get to capture images of them with their children (no matter how old) as they snuggle, and play, and share moments together.  So if it has been a while since you have gotten in front of the camera with your kiddos, then book your session here… you won’t regret it.
