So you’ve seen tons of pictures of sweet little newborns on my blog and gorgeous mamas-to-be and some seniors here and there but did you know that I love taking pictures of families and children?  As moms we all want to have our yearly family pictures taken just in time for Christmas cards so we spend a fortune on matching outfits, new haircuts and those new boots we were wanting.  I mean, it’s the perfect excuse right?  Most of the time our kids are grumpy and we are lucky to get one good photo.  I can’t tell you how many moms come to my mini sessions and say “I just need one good one for the Christmas card”.

What if there was a better way to get fun family photos that everyone actually enjoyed and really captured the essence of your family in their natural, every day environment?  Well, there is and it’s called lifestyle photography and I LOVE it!  Because I love it so much I am giving away a free lifestyle session.  Here’s the deal – first, you have to live in the DFW metroplex – to win leave a comment on this post and share it to Facebook.  You can also comment on the facebook post here and share it from there.  The winner will be announced on facebook on Monday, July 7th.

I want to introduce you to my friend Amanda.  I have known her since I was a kid when we went to the same little church in Bedford, TX.  She has settled with her little family in Colleyville very close to where we all grew up.  Amanda is amazing.  I mean, I just can’t put into words how much of a blessing she is to me and everyone she is around.  She is infectious and after 5 minutes with her you will be her best friend.  She home schools her five children and she is an inspiration to other moms especially those with autistic children.  You can follow her journey here on instagram.  Amanda let me come over and join her and her children one morning and this is what happened.   Enjoy….
