Not only is this little one gorgeous, she is the daughter of a very good friend of mine and fellow photographer Tali Wildman. Many of my past couples will remember her as my dee-lightful second shooter. I can’t wait to have her back, but in the meantime I’m thinking motherhood is suiting her just fine.

Congrats Tali and Cliff! Thank you thank you for allowing me to capture these photos. XOXO

 Happy Saturday – Enjoy this gorgeous day!

He’s doing great 10 weeks into life and is at home with his family, but I came up to the NICU at Dell Children’s to capture all of his teeny newborn glory. It is the only photo session that I’ve had to ‘scrub in’ for. He weighs a little less than 5 pounds in these photos. Enjoy this little miracle. A zillion kisses to all of you W family.

Daddy was a yell leader at Texas A&M, so, you know, they start them early in this household.

Sweet, sweet baby boy.

I know, September seems really early doesn’t it, but it is time to schedule your holiday sessions. I’m offering a little incentive.

Up at the top of the blog there is a ‘Links’ section. Go on up there and sign up for the newsletter. I’ll be sending out information about Holiday Mini-Sessions and if you are on the newsletter, you not only get first crack at times, there will be a little extra something for you. Do it now!

It was so wonderful to see mom Melinda and Rayleigh again. It’s always fun for me to see how much more comfortable first time parents are by the time the second appointment rolls around. They are always such pros by then.

Baby Rayleigh is sweet, cuddly, smiley and gorgeous! Check out this little bundle of love!

My goodness, it seems like yesterday that I was at their house photographing Quinn as a newborn. Time does just not stop. I love this family for many many reasons and am so happy about their new arrival! Can’t wait to see what she and Quinn have in store for me this next year. See you guys soon!!!!!

Enjoy the baby deliciousness.

Big sister.

We shot this photo because Heather & Mike have a great shot of Quinn in mid-fit hanging in their house. They absolutely needed a matched set. No babies were harmed in the making of this photo.

Meet Baby Raylie:

Rayleigh is Melinda’s (of the lovely ‘Mama in the field’ set) new little girl and wow is she a sweetie. So good-natured and just as cute as can be – check out all that hair!!! I’m so lucky that I get to follow her for the next year!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the privilege of spending a little bit of 2008 with you. Enjoy the slideshow – I know I missed a few sessions, but I tried to include a bit from pretty much everything. If I’ve made a mistake, please email me!

These are not necessarily the “BEST” images I took, but these sure made me smile. I’m so lucky in that I get to preserve emotion for a living. Plus I have the most wonderful clients.

Also, you all are really good looking.

A million hugs,

Shannon

Well look who showed up two weeks early. Newborns are so unreliable. But all is forgiven, Jackson. Look at what a sweetie he is!!!! I’m so glad you’re here and I can’t wait to see what you have in store for me this year!

I love the art in his room. Savannah has some art from this same company in her room too.

OMG! I can’t believe you are kissing me in a picture – this is sooo embarrassing!

Oh well, I guess it’s not so bad.
