It's time for the Rodeo....

Here in Houston, the Rodeo is a really, really big deal.  To be honest, I think they schedule Spring Break around it so everyone can take their kids to the festivities.  Last year, Ryan and I (and about 15,000 tweens) went to see Fergie in concert during the Rodeo.  Even though Fergie does put on quite a show, the most entertaining part of the evening was before the music began when they had this thing called Mutton Bustin' in the arena.  Here is the actual description of the event per the Houston Livestock and Rodeo Show website... 

Mutton Bustin' will follow Barrel Racing, just prior to the beginning of the concert. All Mutton Bustin' participants must be between the ages of 5 and 6 years old and not weigh more than 60 pounds. Participants will attempt to ride a "mutton" or sheep the longest....

And who said we don't know how to have a good time in Texas!  Here are a few pics of the kids and their classmates from their Rodeo Days celebration at school.  No Mutton Bustin' for Jake and Riley, but still some good memories!  

Wordless Wednesday....

Just some cute pics from a family I photographed over Christmas. Three is definitely a magic number!

Crazy Legs....

Here is a quick sneak peak from a wonderful session I had yesterday.  This little girl was a total sweetheart and a ton of fun to photograph.  She is mastering the low crawl and had the most adorable little leg warmers. By the way, what ever happened to leg warmers?  They were so stylish AND functional....

The work continues....

Okay, so I got a new header up, but the body still needs some work....maybe this afternoon....

Under Construction....

Please excuse the bland-ness of my blog header.  I was trying to revamp it this morning so that I can post larger images and zapped the html code.... Check back later please!

Big Red....

Who said red heads are wild and fiery!  Photographing this cutie is always a piece of cake.  He has the sweetest little disposition: always smiling and looking right at the camera - I mean what more could I want.  These are just a few from a session right before Christmas.  I am going get to see him again in a few weeks to take his one year old shots - can't wait!

PS- The last one is a little bonus. It is one I took of Riley right when I started up my business. She was totally red when she arrived. She was pretty easy to photograph as well:)

Lovely Ladies....

As I have mentioned in the past, I have the most gorgeous kids just running up and down my street every day.  I mean there are some real stunners just roaming my neighborhood, looking adorable.  These three young ladies are no exception.  I had a wonderful time photographing them with their parents and fantastically dynamic grandmother over this past Christmas.  Here are some of my favorites - the ones of Grandma warrant their own post at a later date:)
