Pear Blossom

Little Corinne has the most dreamy eyes!  I think her dad will take credit for them … but her mama absolutely takes credit for the rest of the beauty she has.  A little stork will be gifting this sweet family with one more unbelievably beautiful little girl … can’t wait to meet her!   

Tiny Sprouts  new super cute dress and leggings!    

      silly girl     

At the end of Cougars photo shoot I let Madison go wild and have some fun … see she had to sit back and watch the whole shoot and if you know Madison you know that she hates to sit back, she insists on getting front and center when taking pictures … she’s a camera hog!     

She walks up to Cougar and begins with this move     

  and then this follows       

At this point Madison is laughing so hard she is crying!!       

Well I’ve got tons of pictures to share, too many in fact!  I’ve got so much Matilda Jane … I’m going to devote this post to a random selection of favorite Matilda Jane photos  and if you haven’t already done so GET YOURSELF TO A TRUNK SHOW!  You won’t regret it

A little birdie told me that someone I know *might* be hosting a trunk show, I’ll post more about it once details come available   

Really, do I have to say much … this girl is so dang cute!!!!!!!  This is a fellow class mate of Madison’s, I was so lucky to meet her and I instantly fell in love with her.  I was so excited when her mom was interested in modeling.   

I really love this Matilda Jane Dress!   

For Matilda Jane’s new West Side collection I had the awesome opportunity to shoot at a spectacular home, it’s so amazing, a little modern, a little 70’s and a little shabby.   This owner has exceptional taste! 

This little cutie started the day off on a perfect note 

Ohh and I almost forgot to add the rest of Mad’s pictures … the sneak from my previous post! 

Alrighty guys, Denise gave me the green light to start sharing photos from her new collection WEST SIDE.   It’s an incredible line, the pieces are totally different then in the past and the fabric combos are super cool.

My favorite dress from the collection  

and one sneak for tomorrow :)  

I guarantee the first thing he is going to ask me when he’s sees this cover is “so do I get money for this”  LOL  As Madison has gotten older I’ve rewarded her modeling efforts with a small token, a dollar, sometimes $5 dollars, a trip to get ice cream … etc … something to make her really excited and reward her for all her hard work.  Lets be honest, she does work hard, she has to bathe, wash her hair, get ready and do a full photo session for every outfit we model.  Anthony would like me to pay him for every click of the camera I take of him … I think I even paid up $5 for this birthday shoot!   

We are featured in the current edition of Kids Trend Weekly … such an honor!   

You know that when an outfit arrives that requires glitter, glam and sassy attitudes Madison is going to be all over it!!  Madison is very particular about what she will wear, clothes seem to make your mood and when she’s wearing clothes she doesn’t love it comes across (even when I try hard to make it better) but on the other hand … when she puts on an outfit she loves, it comes through … she dances, sings, twirls and is she acts like she is worth a million bucks!    

OK I totally forgot to link to Paper Lili … go check out the site and indulge in a new little set for your girl!  

She rocked it  I was just there to click the camera                 

During the summer I let Madison pretty much brush and wash her own hair … washing of course means lying in the tub with a tiny bit of bubbles on her hair and proclaiming it squeaky clean.  She brushes until she hits a tangle and then moves on, so basically all the ends of her hair are a tangly mess … and the cycle repeats every day.  I don’t really care though, during the summer she’s doing so much swimming and playing that her hair is going to get tangled and wild regardless.  I was quite surprised when she asked me to wash her hair one afternoon, we shampooed and conditioned until it felt silky smooth.  After a quick brush she let me blow dry it for her, the end result was silky, soft, gorgeous long locks … I hadn’t even noticed how long her hair had gotten because it’s usually a tangly mess!    

In spirit of her “fancy” hair she got all dressed up and we went out for a fun 20 minute photo session.   

Madison’s favorite picture 

My fav

I had the supreme pleasure of photographing the Roah family, my first family since being back from vacation!  I was so honored and excited to be asked by a fellow photographer, Lisa is the sweetest thing EVER … and to boot she’s got three lucky guys who love her insanely!  I have to say, this shoot was so much fun, maybe it was the fact that Lisa herself is a photographer, maybe it’s that she came with no expectations and gave me free range, or that they are the happiest family … or maybe it’s the common love we both have for Houston’s … whatever the case may be we hit it off and went running like wild monkeys! 

When I was going through her images one major component kept jumping out to me … the entire family connected so well,  loved each other so much and really allowed me to capture their moments.  Thanks Lisa and Mark … and the boys … you guys were the best!  HUGE props go out to Mark for being such an awesome husband, he was so happy for Lisa to have this shoot (since she’s normally behind the camera) and he was a total trooper the entire time!
