Mommy to be Holly

This sweet mommy to be Holly is expecting her little man in a week or two :):) We almost got blown away on this shoot but we had a good time and got some awesome shots!

If you're a mommy to be and would like to set up a session message me and we can get something on the books for you!

He had a Diamond in his pocket ;)

So excited to share this with everyone I got to be part of my best friend being proposed to :):) 

I have to tell the whole story because Mr. Jason did such a good job getting this together 

(even though he didn't let me know until last min he pulled it off). He messaged me about lunch yesterday asking if I was in town and if I could come to Rlaph and Kacoos because he was going to propose I about fell out I have to admit but of course I moved things around and agreed to be there no matter what. When they came in I talked to Morgan who had absolutely no idea what was about to happen to her. After they finished their food he tipped Sam (which was their cue to play diamond in my pocket) Jason tried and tried to get Morgan to get up and dance with him and she wouldn't so we all go into panic mode poor Jason was really stressing on how it was all going to work now, but we weren't going to leave until he got to ask the biggest question she'd ever have to answer. So we pulled it together really quick asked the little girl across the patio to ask Sam to play the song one more time please because she liked it so much :) when it started Morgans brother and Kristen went out to dance so Morgan would go dance with Jason she was not happy about this at all but I think she forgot all about that when he got down on that knee and asked her to be his wife. I'm so happy for them and so glad I got to share this special moment with them! I think I was just as nervous as he was about pulling the whole thing off. They danced to Diamond in my pocket by Cody Johnson he couldn't have picked a better one I don't think love the part of the song where it says 

"My hands are shaking like canebrake rattler,

Nothing's gonna save me now

Might as well jump in head first; lay it all on the line

What am I worrying about never gonna be a more perfect time"

This was def him ;) 

Splish Splash he was takin a bath

I came across this idea and fell in love a had another little one lined up to do it with but his mommies car got stuck so we didn't get to do it :( since I was so excited about it I just had to do it with my little one :)

My Mudbug

My little mud bug give him water and dirt and his day is made I can't believe he is almost 2 :(

The life I live

Since its a new year and I'm wanting to do more with my photography I decided I should introduce myself and share with you a little about my life and why I don't posts for weeks at a time I promise it's not because I'm not dedicated to taking photos by any means :)

For those of you who know me you know I live a pretty crazy life, my husband is a pipeliner and we are never in one place very long, even though I call Lufkin home we're hardly ever there. We travel from town to town job to job making memories and new friends along the way. We never know where we'll be or who we will be with but we do know they will be like us in many ways, miles away from their family and friends back home and everything they've known for so long but like us the pipeline is now their home and the people they meet along the way become more than friends they become family. This is a hard life to live but most would tell you they wouldn't want it another way!

We strive to have the most normal life possible out here as we all gathered around last night after the guys got off work (like we do every night) one of the wives said "it's like summer camp that never ends" I thought you know what that describes it perfect no matter how many times you've been you still want to go and stay longer though you miss your family and friends back home you want to stay and be with your "pipeline family" as long as possible because eventually the job will end, some will be separated to go to new jobs, some may never see each other again and some may stay connected for years its just the life we live this crazy fun stressful life that we wouldn't change for the world.  

One of the things I love the most is when we're with others who have small kids on nice days we just get to sit and watch them play and interact for hours on end making sweet sweet memories :):) 

Here are some photos from our trip this time of Axel and his little pipeline friends!

Kirbyville Senior 2014

Stacey is a beautiful Kirbyville Senior and she was a trooper today getting in the cold water :)

We weren't sure if the weather was going to act right for us today but it turned out to be a very pretty day! I absolutely LOVE this location if you are interested in setting up a session here message me I plan on going back on the 23rd of March :)

It was so cold but she took it like a champ

Had so much fun with this session thanks for letting me capture this special moment for you
