::knock, kock:: Anyone out there?

I have been swamped at my normal M-F job for months, as you can see. The weather is getting nicer, so I'm getting anxious to pick up my camera again. I don't have a good excuse for neglecting it this long, but I'll just go forward from here.

If I still have any blog readers, please leave me a comment so I know you're out there. If you are, God bless you for sticking with me.

Not mine!

She my sister's sweet little girl, Joey. She is about 3.5 months old and is growing every day! She's going to be one big girl!

Teaser: Guess who's cute puppy?

Fun in the backyard!

Just getting in some practice. Thought I would share.

Sneak peek - Family

I had a great time taking family potraits for friends of ours. It was such a treat to have the whole group together!

Mini Caney Creek Vacation

We had a blast and I wish I would have taken more pictures. I think I say that way too often. I need to do something about it next time! ;)

We headed down their Friday night somewhere around 9 pm or so. The drive isn't bad at all, only takes a little over an hour. We stopped at a Taco Bell...where guys were trying to hit on us through our guys... to grab some good eats. Headed to the house and played some games. Since I was sick, I wasn't able to hang the whole night, but everyone else stayed up until around 4 in the morning! :O

The next day, we woke up and went to a friend of their's house to put out crab traps. We stayed there a while and then headed to the beach. Our dogs LOVED the water! We knew Crackers (our pittie) did, but Cheese normally hates the water. Something must have come over her because she was swimming in the ocean!

All in all, we had a great time. We loved seeing how happy our dogs were roaming the land and sea. Just one more excuse to get us property with a bunch of land one day. :)

Poor Lori got sick Friday night!




This is what I woke up to Saturday morning. 2 of the loves in my life! My husband said he just woke up and wanted to mow! He hasn't been on a riding lawnmower for a few years now. He loves it every chance he can get. He's such a redneck ;)






We went down to help them move some furniture there.


Jake! He is right around Crackers's age. They are so cute together!

Love this pic too! It shows what the weekend was about - relaxing! (note:Cheese's bootay in the bottom right corner :)


Cameron and Lori - Are they not the cutest? I will be taking photos for them in the upcoming month, so stay tuned!

I lost my voice!

I've been trying to get over a summer cold for almost a week now and I lost my voice this weekend! My only mode of communication is whispering, noises and made-up sign language.

Despite the fact that I'm under the weather, we had a great weekend. Friends of our convinced us to go to their parent's creek house by Sargent, Texas. We had a GREAT time! We were actually able to bring our pups with us, which we never get to do. I think that added to why we had such a great time. We were just able to pack up and leave. Didn't have to worry about getting someone to watch them. I'll be posting pics later today, so check back. :)

Scenic Route

:sniffle:: I've been fighting off a summer cold all week long and I'm hoping its in its last days. Wish me well! :}

Last weekend, we went to my home side of town, Katy (we were really shooting in Cinco Ranch), TX to take some family portraits for friends of ours. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperating with us, so we were only to get a few of the mom. She is a Real Estate agent here in Houston. More to come on her next week. In the meantime, enjoy these photos I grabbed while shooting.

Beautifully landscaped lake they have not too far from their house.

Summer Fun
