Arabella Smallwood

So Friday I took Peyton's birthday pics out at my friend Heather's!  She is into photography too and was so super fun to work with.  She had all these ideas for Ms Arabella and all the props she wanted to go with it!!  She loves the old antique stuff so it was fun to watch her and nice that I just took the pics and didn't have to do all the posing too....LOL!

Here were a few of my favs.....Ms Arabella is VERY photogenic!!

My baby is turning 4!!!

Took Peyton out Friday for some birthday pictures!  Her birthday is a week from Wednesday & she wanted matching outfits from a local special shop in town, Itsy Bitsy Spider, for herself and her American Girl bitty baby.  These days she doesn't go anywhere without "baby Lily".

They were tooo cute not to share.  I can't believe she is going to be 4, {{sniff, sniff}}.

Yetz Twins session

I had the blessing of going into the home of our youth minister & wifes yesterday.  I photographed their 3week old twins, Callie & Caitlyn!  Sooo much fun and I'm looking forward to the second half of the session later on this week.

Here is what we got yesterday!

Cooper, Texas

So last week we got out of the classroom as a group for a photoshoot in Cooper, Texas.  It was alot of fun until is started storming but I still got some great shots I thought, LOL.

This was inside the post office....they had some really cool stuff in there!

This is Ms Mabel.  She owns a soda fountain in Cooper which used to be a pharmacy too.  She was the sweetest thing and really makes everything from scratch still.  The rootbeer was out of this world!She presented Vaughn with an afghan she made him.  He has been coming to see her for years and you can tell they both treasure their friendship.  I can't wait to take my girls there.  She says that the kids really enjoy coming to her shop! 

Portraits of Strangers

So we went on a group photo shoot in Cooper today.  What a quaint little town and the hospitality was great!  Part of our assignment was to shoot portraits of strangers which deemed a little harder than what I anticipated. 

The first guy was very nice and even took me into his son's portrait studio on the square.

The second lady was with the Cooper newpaper and it was a total off guard shot but she was too cute!  And then the last one was even more hilarious.  This guy was great!  He was a trooper and said that with all the students walking around we were going to draw attention to Cooper.  Not sure if that was meant in a good way or bad but none the less he was great!

I have more to come of "Cooper" but these were the stranger shots I got.  I'll post the others tomorrow.
