Second Time Around!

My mom was in town this weekend and she's been telling me for the longest time how she's been wanting pictures with all her grandkids. Well, we finally got around to doing it. She is a mother of 5 and now a Grandma of 4 with one on the way. She was at one point a mother to all of these age groups at the same time!! Go Grandma Rios (a.k.a. Nana)!

Welcome Baby "L"

Yes, another baby!! I LOVE baby sessions! This little guy did very well for only being 4 weeks old. I got to photograph him in his home that was beautiful and perfect for our session which was all natural light. Baby "L's" mom is an artist so she had some fascinating rooms and I can't wait for our next session. I have all kinds of ideas for the next time. I can't wait to photograph those baby blues again.

My favorite!

As you can tell Baby "L" was very comfortable in his mommy's arms. This was the ONLY time he would look at me.

I LOVE Mother's Day!

I had a good Mother's Day. The day started off with waffles for breakfast made by my husband, a home-made candle from my oldest daughter and a gift card to Dillard's from the kids. Oh, and I got some yellow and purple tulips too! We all got dressed and went to church that morning. It was nice.

When we got home from church I suddenly had some inspiration to to do photos of my son on this chair that my Grandpa gave me. But I knew this wasn't going to be easy because my son isn't fond of getting his picture taken. He likes to be behind the camera with his mom. Today I didn't have to even BEG him for pictures. I asked if he would do it for me and he said, YES!! I was shocked and SOOOO happy. I was very happy with the outcome and actually started crying while I was editing them. I let him know how he made me the happiest mom that day. And that this was the best gift he could have ever given me and he had a HUGE smile on his face. Here are the images and I even got a few of my oldest.
