Annual Kids Fishing Day

April 17th was the anual Kids Fishing Day at Lake Cooper State Park. This event was hosted by Lake Cooper State Park. There were many volunteers and sponsers who helped to make this a great success. There were 81 children in attendance this year and kids catching fish everywhere! Great fun was had by all and I worked hard at trying to capture the excitement on these children's faces. Check out my collage I put together of just some of my photos from the event.

Sidney's FreeStyle Shoot

Had another awesome photo shoot with a beautiful little model, Sidney. She is so easy to work with as it all just seems to come so naturally to her! I do wish I had her long legs though and she had my shorts ones! LOL After taking her set of pics, I have to say they ALL turned out so well!!! I could not decide on a favorite one nor could I even find a bad one!! Thanks Sidney for a great shoot!

Jessica's Maternity Photo Shoot

Had my first maternity photo shoot last week with a sweet little "mommy-to-be", Jessica. We both had so much fun doing this shoot and I have to give her a BIG thumbs up for working so hard to do what I asked of her! I know she is soooo excited about her new little girl getting here. She will be a great mommy!

Has anyone ever seen a red bluebonnet or even a pink one? When we first saw this we thought we were seeing things. But then we realized they were actually bluebonnets. The weaird thing was that we saw THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS and MILES and MILES of bluebonnets, but we only saw these red and pink ones in one little spot beside a road. And there was just a handfull of them. Never saw them again and we even WATCHED for some more!

Texas Wildflower Road Trip

Tony and I took a "spur-of-the-moment" road trip down in the Texas hill country this past weekend to check out how the wildflowers were blooming. Took us a while to find some but when we finally did they were EVERYWHERE.....and oh so BEAUTIFUL! Check out what we saw!

Lake Cooper Nature

Last weekend my husband and I took a drive out to Lake Cooper State Park. We rode around for quite some time but I was finally able to grab a few shots of some deer and pretty birds. I LOVE doing this on days when we have nothing else to do. There are many times that we go out just driving the east Texas back roads to see what we can find.

Grandchildren Make the World Go Around...

I am very blessed to have 2 very precious grandchildren. MaKenzi will soon be 4 years old and Brayden just had his 1st birthday! Who would have ever thought that you could love any child as much or more than your own? I now understand how that happens! I don't get to see my babies as often as I would like but we always try to have some fun when we do get to spend some time together. I was blessed enough to see them BOTH this past weekend and spend some time with them. They enjoyed playing outside one afternoon and of course Nana was there to capture the moments on camera!

Going to the Chapel.....

My sister tied the knot a few weeks ago. We are all so happy for her! Here are just a few of my favorite shots that I took at her wedding.

Mrs. Lee's Daffodil Garden

A few weeks ago I traveled with my friends in the photo club and my parents and we visited Mrs. Lee's Daffodil Garden in Gladewater, Texas. This place was soooooo beautiful!!! 28 acres of bright yellow blooming daffodils. I wished that daffodils bloomed alot longer than they do. I

could think of tons of photos I could take using that setting!

More Sidney & Karlee Photos

Sidney & Karlee

I have had many people asking me to do photo shoots for them lately. I didn't really think I would like taking people pics but the more I do it, I am finding I do enjoy it. I am learning just how creative I can be. Sometimes that is quite a challange!!! My mind is always working and trying to think up some new exciting ideas. The little girl in this photo shoot was soooo precious!! I followed her around for hours just watching her play. I ended up snapping over 300 pics for this mommy and her sweet little girl. We had to fight a ferocios wind all afternoon but I think we all had a blast.....I know I did! Thanks Sidney & Karlee!

Little Brayden Turns 1!!!

Our little grandson turned 1 year old this week. It doesn't seem possible for him to have a birthday already. The year has surely flown by. His parents threw him a "Handy Manny" party with all his family and friends. Here are a few pics from the big event.

SURPRISE!

My sweet hubby surprised me tonight with these beautiful flowers! What a sweetheart!
