    From Ashton's mom I've got to confess. . .I've done absolutely NOTHING all day but look at Ashton's pics and David's website. I had a list of things to accomplish and haven't done a thing other than sit in front of this computer in awe of David and his work. His talent is absolutely amazing!! We had a great time and are so so happy with the results.

    From a senior's mom David - I was just reading your blogs and I just had to tell you how many many people are posting comments on Billy's myspace page about the pictures you took! I just can't believe you got these - he hates his picture taken at school, but he really warmed up to you and felt comfortable. His friends are all raving about them. He looks like a model anthem. Wow! Everyone loves them, we can't wait to see the rest. You are amazing and we will tell everyone about you in Leonard. Nancy

Luke Arrives! {McKinney, Tx Newborn Photographer}

I love newborn sessions. And no, it isn’t because I know I will get a good night’s rest and they probably won’t. It is because I have had the opportunity to meet and get to know the parents at their maternity session. I have gotten to share their excitement and anticipation and now I get to share the pride and wonderment of their new little one with tiny eye lashes, fingers and toes.

I photographed Milly and Andy’s maternity in July and have been waiting for Luke to be born so we could create their first family portrait! He is an amazing little fellow who thinks he can raise his head and look around already!

Below are a few of my favs from their newborn session. Congrats Milly and Andy! You will sleep all night again…eventually:)

Kennedi’s Senior 2011 Portraits {McKinney, TX Senior Portraits}

How cool is the name Kennedi? Although I had not met Kennedi before her senior portraits I had heard so many positive comments about her. She went to elementary school where my wife teaches first grade. She was friends with my stepson. She is the head of the MBHS 2011 Balladoras (I’m sure there is a technically correct title, but it escapes me). And best of all, she has the biggest, happiest smile I have every been fortunate to photograph. I know her parents are super proud of her! Below are some of my favs from her senior session.

Kim and Chip are having a baby {McKinney, TX Maternity Photographer}

Kim and Chip come in for their maternity portraits and were a blast to work with. Kim loves to smile and Chip is a bit more reserved. We were taking some portraits with this very cool 50′s hat that Chip brought in. When I looked at the first image below, Chip had this “look” and I had to comment, “Dude, look at you, you are the Baby Maker”. I saw this satisfied smile slowly creep across his face. From what I hear among his friends and admirers, he is now known as The Baby Maker. Congrats Kim and Chip. I cannot wait to photograph your new addition next month.

Eve’s Senior Portraits {Allen, TX Senior Portraits}

Last week Eve came in for her senior portraits. Eve is a senior at Allen High, but she also attends Texas Academy of Math and Sciences at UNT, so I was in very smart company. She and her mom both speak fluent French and mine is a bit rusty (not sure I know 5 French words, actually) so I kept making sure they were not making fun of the bald spot starting at the back of my head, but she assured me they were just having fun which was great because that is like an unwritten rule at my studio.

Eve has the most amazing blue eyes, so I made sure we captured them in her portraits. Check out some of my fav images from her session and I know you will have to agree.
