Thank You 2014 Portrait Clients

It is such an honor to work with you all and your beautiful families. Not all of the wonderful families are pictured below, but I do want to say you all have been a pleasure to work for. I look forward to working with you again in 2015.

The West Table Lubbock, Texas Family Session and Restaurant

The West family needed to update their family pictures and get some shots of their new restaurant in downtown Lubbock, Texas.Not only is this family adorable on so many levels, but their restaurant, The West Table has a fabulous atmosphere and it was a perfect pairing for their session.

"The center driving force for The West Table is husband and wife team, Cameron and Rachel West. With more than 20 years of restaurant experience between the two of them, the couple is ready to bring their own style of food and beverage to the Lubbock community." -www.thewesttable.com

"Something really unique about The West Table is our actual tables. Cameron's grandfather, Bill Shambeck, was a cotton farmer in the area and the tables that we have are reclaimed wood from an old cotton gin here in Lubbock." - Rachel West

Check out the family session sneak peek below, but also go and make reservations at The West Table. You won't be disappointed. One of my favorite dishes was the beet salad. It was SO good.

The Schaap's Snowy Family Session

When it snows around here we get very excited. I was so pumped to have a session on the day it snowed too with the lovely Schaap family. Not gonna lie though. It was FREEZING. We had to take breaks from shooting and warm up by the fire, then go shoot again. My toes were frozen, my fingers were numb and the gloves I was wearing made it hard to focus the lens, BUT it all worked perfectly.Here is a peek of the Schaap's super awesome snowy session.

Hold your children tight, and squeeze 'em, and love 'em, and kiss 'em for as long as they will let you. Before you know it, they will be all grown up.

The McDonald's Clovis, NM Family Session

Okay so let me tell you a little about this awesome family. The mom is one of my bootcamp buddies, and we partner up on a lot of stuff at BC. I try to keep up with her on chin-ups, but she is kind of a beast when it comes to those. And for those who know the dad, ask him about his expertise in posing for the camera.A little "behind the scenes" on this first photograph: the kids was telling "yo momma" jokes and they were very hilarious. I mean, where do they come up with this stuff. This was a first for me during family sessions. haha Second photograph "behind the scenes": the kids have so much energy and were running around majority of the session. I wish I had their energy! Enjoy!
