RONNIE, CINNAMON & RILEY....

Ronnie, Cinnamon and Riley... what a cute family.  These were Ronnie & Cinnamon's engagement photos and Riley was a BONUS to these engagements photos.  Riley reminds me of the Energizer Bunny.  Ronnie and Cinnamon will be getting married this summer and I can't wait!  They are the CUTEST couple ever.  Thanks guys, and thank you Riley for making us laugh so much!!!!

SHEYANNE GEISS

One of my brother's lifelong friends from Del Rio, Ray Allen, and his wife, Pam and daughter, Sheyanne, all joined us in Leakey as well.  Poor Pam was sick and they ended  up having to go home early, but not before I got some beautiful pictures of Sheyanne for them!  Enjoy guys.  Pam, hope you're feeling better!  

TRIP TO LEAKEY!!!

Tim and I left the day after Christmas to head to Leakey, Texas.  We took our camper and stayed at the Frio Pecan Orchard.  This place is absolutely gorgeous!  We stayed there back in September and fell in love with it.  I had a photo shoot at the Leinweber Ranch on Friday and will have those pics blogged as soon as I'm done with them.  Bella got a new booster seat for the car and she sure enjoyed it!!!  My brother Steve and Tina joined us down there and stayed in a cabin.  Check out the WHITE DEER!  (it's called something but I forgot)...  I GOT ANOTHER BEAR FOR CHRISTMAS!  WOO HOOO!!!  Isn't he cute?????  

ERIKA MATTHEWS BRIDAL

WOW is all I can say about Erika!  What a beautiful bride she will be!!!  Erika's Mom (Sidney) works me with at H&H and Barry and I did her and Trey's engagement pics back in April.  We ended up hardly deleting any pics of Erika because they were all so beautiful.  She is going to have to choose from HUNDREDS... we're letting her do the tough job becayse Barry and I couldn't do.  We ended up putting them all up on our website for her to choose from.  We had a great time taking these.  Thanks Erika!!!  (even though momma  was freakin'  out about getting the dress dirty, we still ended up with some  unforgettable shots).

BARRY'S ARTISTRY AT ITS FINEST!!!

Barry has been working really hard on these new designs for anyone and EVERYONE who wants to have something WAY different and ultra mod!!! He's done a fantastic job with these pictures. I was going to wait until after the first of the year to show off his work but I can't stand it!!! So, here they are!!! BTW... these are fantastic on a CANVAS. (just ask Kelsie!)

EARLY LAMONTAGNE CHRISTMAS!!!

My brother, Bobby, his wife, Donna and their girls, Courtney & Addie, came up from Corpus to celebrate an early Christmas with us. We had a little celebration at Steve's house at the lake. Santa Clause and Mrs. Claus were even at Buffalo last night. Addie didn't care too much for Santa but thought Mrs. Claus was okay. It was really nice having the entire family together. It's been way too long. All of you guys are the loves of my life!

I'm taking Courtney & Addie to see Alvin and Chipmunks today! Can't wait! Wahhh Chickawawa!!!

VANESSA - SENIOR!!!

Cute cute cute little Miss Vanessa... Vanessa is a senior at Lubbock High. She got her hair and makeup done professionally for these photographs and she looked absolutely GORGEOUS! This was our last shoot of the day and definitely the coldest shoot we had all day. Vanessa's Dad refurbishes old cars so we were lucky enough to get an old '57 Chevy and we took it to Lubbock High. What great shots we got! They have one of the COOLEST houses we've ever seen. They totally redid this beautiful home downtown which we took total advantage of for these pictures. Vanessa and her family will have VERY special memories when looking at these senior photos for years to come. Thanks guys for everything!
