23 month old Beauty! Dallas Area Children Photographer

I photographed the cutest little girl this week! Would you look at those curls?? She had a blast looking for turtles, doggies, and anything else we could think of to keep her attention for a few seconds. ;-)

I have photographed her brothers and sister in the past and this entire family is just beautiful!

She was so happy and playful. Made my job easy! Here is a sneak peek.

I am back!

So after a very long hiatus due to pregnancy and the birth of my newest addition, I am finally getting back into the swing of things! I am so happy to be shooting people again (don't worry! it doesn't hurt!).

I have so many exciting things in the works! I will be updating my website in the new couple of weeks and working on my new DIGITAL photo packages! This is the first time I have ever offered digital images. I have always believed that my client's photos should be displayed BIG in their homes and not on a computer, and I still believe that! However, I realize that things are changing, and this includes the way we share our memories.

I am very excited to offer new digital photo packages. This is your chance to own ALL of your session images and the ability to print and share as many as you would like. Wow!

And now introducing the reason I have been missing and so incredibly busy! Miss Ava. She is 10.5 mos old now. I can't believe how fast time flies!








This one is so bittersweet. I cannot believe how fast she has grown. Seems like only yesterday......

Amazing how they change so quickly!

Parents, your children are growing and changing sooooo quickly! It is so important to capture every stage. Before you know it, everything that seems so commonplace today will be different tomorrow!

Last time I photographed this peanut, she had hardly any hair and was barely sitting up! Now she is walking, talking, running, jumping and just all kinds of fun!

I LOVED the dresses mom chose for this session. I so love to photograph in color. :)

The Weather has not been cooperating! But finally....

Well, this rainy May had me thinking that I was retired! But finally I was able to actually do a scheduled session on the scheduled day!

Of course, I woke up this morning and guess what was happening? It was RAINING AGAIN! *Sigh*

Oh, well, yesterday was gorgeous and so was this ADORABLE little girl!





She was a tough nut to crack! She would have much rather spent her time exploring the rain puddles and the flowers than looking at my camera. I can't say that I blame her! Still, she did look at me a few times, and I made the most of it. Her eyes are just amazing!



Until next time....

My, how you have grown!

Last year when I photographed this little peanut, she was just sitting up. She stayed put! :) It is amazing how quickly they grow and change and before you know it....


They are off and running! She was so busy and had so much fun exploring. I remember these days with my own kids. So much to see outside, so much to do!


And big brother too! He is losing his "baby" face and trading it for big guy looks. So bittersweet!




The age that children start to change and look older is about 5/6 when they start losing baby teeth. The roundness leaves for a leaner, more mature looking face. I encourage parents to capture this age so they can always remember that sweet, chubby baby face forever. :)

Of course, I cannot forget about the biggest big brother! :) Is he totally GQ or what?


And because I just love a silly picture.....

My blog is back and your gonna be in trouble..... ;)

Okay, you are not really in trouble, but I SHOULD BE!! Oh my goodness! My poor blog! I cannot believe it has been so long since I have updated here!

I promise to be better! Summer got the best of me, then it just seemed to run into Winter, and now it is SPRING and I am finally posting again. I will be posting more regularly, so be sure to check back for photos, links and some good ol' fun!

I will be posting my Fresh Faces winners as well.

Okay, onto the good stuff! This is a sneak peek of a recent session. 3 beautiful girls! The location was amazing, the lighting was perfect and the kiddos were fantastic! What more can a photographer ask?

Dear Blog, How have I neglected thee? Oh, let me count the ways....

Or something like that.

Man, oh man, the summer of 08 is upon us and it is keeping me super busy! I am so sorry for not updating more regularly. I promise to post my Fresh Faces winners very soon. I am so excited to photograph all these gorgeous Tweens!

In the mean time, here are some super adorable twins from a couple of weeks ago. We had oodles of fun together. They really LOVED the jumping part of our session. It always puts kids in a good mood to see their "action" shots on the LCD screen!

Little Girls in Big Chairs are so CUTE!

As soon as I saw this fabulous red chair, I knew it had to be photographed. :) This little girl was sooooo tiny and had such a big vocabulary! I was amazed by her. She is a photographer's dream. So attentive and happy.

Check out her lashes. They were super long and beautiful!

Leapin' Lizards, bubbles and blue eyes!

Oh, wowee, this little guy gave me a workout! Little boys are so much fun and so much different than little girls. As a mom of 2 boys and 1 girl, I can say that with confidence. ;) I love little boy energy. LOVE IT!

This adorable 2 yr old was a mover and a shaker. We kept him still for seconds at a time with some bubbles and a lizard. Ha! Look at the lizard on his back. Can you spot it??







Til next time. :)

Downtown with the coolest kid......

Yep, I can say that because he is mine. :)

Not only is he strikingly handsome(*smile*), he is also brilliant, considerate, kind-hearted and compassionate. I cannot say enough about him, but take my word for it, he is amazing.



This is not a great picture, he is squinting in the sun, cars in the background.... several things I don't love, but I had to get a photo of this stop-sign!

And in the spirit of the stop sign, I present you:
A blast from the past! You know you want a shirt like this.
Rock on. :)

It's that time again! "Tween" Modeling Contest.....

I am looking for a few "tween-age" FRESH FACES!

Do you have a cooperative child between the ages of 9 and 15 years? Do you want to win a FREE custom portrait session and a FREE mounted 11x14 portrait? If so, then YOU may just have the next FRESH FACE of A Beautiful Light Photography!

Entering is simple! Just email one small, websized photo of your child to me at: sunshine @ abeautifullight.com (remove spaces). A simple snapshot is fine, just be sure we can see his/her face. No professional portraits, please! :)

The contest will be judged and voted on by several of my photographer friends (not me). The winners will be announced here and by email no later than 6-15-08.

The catch (isn't there always one?) is: I get to choose the location and the style of the photo shoot. These sessions will be fun and casual and more hip and trendy than a normal child portrait session. I will have creative control of the session and will advise on clothing and hair. Don't worry, it will of course be tasteful. ;)

Remember, you will receive a FULL session if you win and a beautiful mounted and coated 11x14 print (over $200 value!).


*The deadline for submitting photos is May 15th, 2008. All winners will be notified via email.

And since we are talking about tweens, I just have to include photos of a recent tween session. :)
