Yep yep Summer is here. Even though it feels like a hundred million degrees out, I somehow look forward to it though. Why?! Because I know we would get to see Alissa and Gage again. ^_^ We have been photographing this fun mother-son duo for the last 2 years. And of course this year is no exception, and we are not gonna miss it for anything! It’s kind of funny when I was little I would hear older people say ‘wow, you are growing up so fast!’ all the time. This time when I see Gage, that is exactly what I said. He is taller, leaner and more boisterous. He is all about play play play… he is a machine ^_- As usual, Scott and I had tremendous fun running around chasing them and catching up with Alissa.

We monkeyed around at the playground ^_-

They came all equipped and prepared with props, toys, changes of clothes and food. Alissa, you are a super mom!!! By the way, this is one of my favorite favs (say it a couple of times it will make sense ^_- heh heh)

Gage paused briefly for Scott to get this shot before he took off again.

Another image I look at over and over and can’t help but smile at. Gage and his grandma… and the look on his face. ^_^

Off we went to a pond in the neighborhood. Gage scoping out his fishing spot.

I admit I was a little skeptical about fishing but the little dude has skills. He got a fish! Pretty darn cool!

Alright, this is another one of my super favs ^_- They are so cute together!!! And his fishing outfit is just too perfect.

I was following Gage around the playground and all of the sudden I heard ‘Gage, Gage’ and I look up … Snap… yep the only frame I got.

We ended up at the swimming pool. The boy’s eyes lit up and he just couldn’t wait to get in the water. I think he’s part fish.

I am already looking forward to next year ^_^ hee hee. Thanks you guys again for having us out to capture your memories!!! We had so much fun!

I refer to baby G as a “happy baby”. Every time I see her images online she would have the biggest smile and when I finally met her for the first time she smiled at me. She charmed me… I am in love. She is just plain adorable and I am so glad we get a chance to capture her wonderful babyhood with her parents Tammy and George.

I am going to sound like a broken record here. Gabriella, you are so cute…eee.e.

Tammy had said I want Gabby to remember her childhood home; her blue house. I am glad they came out and played on the porch. Now we have the proof ^_-

We are happy to share a result from the latest WPJA (The Wedding Photojournalist Association) Contest. Every year WPJA hosts the largest wedding photography competitions in the world judged by panels of award-winning photojournalists and designers and one of our images placed this time. Woo hoo…

Congratulations to all the winners! We love to look through all your images and get pushed to do better each time we go out to shoot.

From Beth and Russell’s wedding.

Judges Comments: There is just enough glint of a beaming bride to prevent her from being lost among the celebration. How appropriate that on a day traditionally filled with hundreds of details and distractions that she should rise among them all.

It wasn’t too long ago when we photographed Hena and Sonu’s wedding. Happy 3rd Anniversary by the way!!! ^_- This time we meet up again to celebrate another wonderful chapter in their lives. Hena and Sonu are now proud parents of Baby Caden; a calm, laid back little baby boy. Caden was born in February and now ready to ham it up for his 1st baby portrait session.

Yep, a happy boy!!!

Pretty eyes with super curly lashes. Oh… trouble…e.

All eyes on Caden. I can feel lots of love ^_^

Training his youngling.

Once again, congratulations guys!!! It’s going to be fun, let’s enjoy the ride!!! ^_- XOXO

YAY! We are happy one of our images has placed in The ISPWP Spring 2011 Wedding Photography Contest ^_^

From Lucy and Matt’s wedding: during the reception Matt was showing off his Superman underoos.

Scott and I had a great time photographing Christy, Jerry, and their babies Elliot and Allison. Christy is one of my dearest friends who I met when I moved to Dallas for school. We just get along super well, and she is like a sister to me. I am so grateful she is in my life and now our little ones get to hang out. That said, we are so glad we finally did it!!! It was a nice day when we headed out to Celebration Park in Allen. The kids enjoyed themselves and we just had fun ^_^

Elliot with his shy smile.

Elliot checking things out. I love the perspective…how little he is.

He is such a sweet little boy. We refer to him as a “gentle giant”.

Scott really likes this image, he said she looks like a cartoon character ;p

*YAY* to Itsy Bitsy Spider *YAY*

Jerry and his little girl.

Allison having a great time in the swing.

I like that Scott including his own feet in the shot. We both love shooting family sessions, I just can’t say it enough: “it’s really fun!”. We slide, we ran, we played with the kids. What’s not to love?! The kids get to be themselves and we get to capture those fleeting moments for their parents and for them when they grow up.

Too high, daddy!

What a happy little girlie girl?!

This one I shot for me ^_-

Time sure flies by fast when you are having fun and all of the sudden little Mr.Antony turns one ^_- Andrea and Joseph held Antony’s 1st birthday party at Nick & Sam’s Grill.

Antony’s little friend(s) came to celebrate with him.

Mommy didn’t miss any details.

Daddy is so proud of his birthday boy.
