Bluebonnet Family Portraits in Plano

Last weekend, I met up with this adorable family at a bluebonnet field on the border of Plano and Frisco, Texas. I was delighted to see that there were some bright red poppies growing among the bluebonnets for a little extra festive Spring color. With a 4-year-old and an almost 2-year-old running in opposite directions (and not super keen on the Being Photographed thing), I had my work cut out for me, but I captured some very sweet photos of the whole gang.

McKinney Maternity Portraits: Allison & Family

In April, I had a blast photographing my Costume Designer friend Allison in all her adorably pregnant glory in downtown McKinney. Allison always comes to her shoots with props and hats galore, which is a little bit of a departure from my usual aesthetic, but so much fun to photograph. Some g-rated, pin-up inspired props and poses accompanied Allison's polka dot skirt and Cuban heel stockings. Then her husband and daughter joined us for some family portraits in the bluebonnets! Allison's an over-achiever and made her own skirt the night before this session. The white skirt she whipped up was perfect for showing off her sweet belly. I'm so glad we shot this session when we did, because not long after, Allison delivered a full month early! Her husband Devin, a medical student, actually got to deliver their 5 lb 2 oz little girl, who's doing great despite her early arrival.
