The Fikse's Navy Blue Lubbock, Texas Family Session

/

All of the Fikse kids and their families came in for their dad's 60th birthday party to celebrate, and while they were all here, we did one big family session. Navy blue was the main color selection and I love how beautiful it looks on them all. Great color choice Fikse family. Family is a wonderful thing to celebrate...birthdays, babies being born, winning a volleyball game, and singing in the preschool program. These are all great accomplishments, and this family is there to support and love each other in many of these exact situations. They are truly blessed to have one another :)

Thank you to this sweet family for a wonderful session we did back in November. And thank you to Hamilton's Nursery for letting us use your lovely place for the session.A few fun facts about this family...they love starburst, twix, and flaming hot cheetos. Now those are some great picks!

Ashleigh's Fashionable 2013 High School Senior Session

/

Ashleigh is a girly girl. She loves to wear a dress and heels, while sipping a cup of coffee. When she was five, she wanted to be a vet, or Britney Spears. Now that she is near graduating, her goals have changed and she wants to be a fashion buyer or a stylist. I think she will be great at either of those, because she has great determination.She is a fun and sassy girl that loves paradise pie from Chili's so if you know her, take her to Chili's and buy her a dessert :) We also grabbed a few with her best friend Madi...check out her high school senior session here.

The Begin's Winter Time Clovis, New Mexico Family Session

This was a family session, but it was also a "welcome home daddy" session. He had been deployed and his arrival date kept getting pushed back. Thankfully he arrived and our scheduled November shoot happened in December. Family sessions are a celebration of families. It's a way to capture all of that love for each other on camera.I am so blessed to have this family as clients of mine, and now friends.

Enjoy the Begin's winter time family session!

Erica and Fred are a lovely couple that migrated here with the Air Force. She is a photographer in Clovis too, and she took our family pictures when Liam was 3 months old. We love our pictures and the moments she captured for us, and they are near and dear to our hearts. So now it was her turn to be behind the camera with her sweet family.
