Double Digits for this Handsome Guy

 

It is crazy to think that my baby boy just turned ten!!  We had a great time taking pictures, even if he was a bit cold, and so would only pose for me for about five minutes - ha ha!  Luckily we got some great shots.

The Sweet Hatch Family

 

I had the best time over Christmas break taking family portraits of the Hatch family.  It was a little chilly that day, but we had fun in spite of it :). Those kids are so full of character, it was fun capturing their personalities.

Brothers!!

 

I love my boys, and when I was out taking their birthday portraits, I decided to snap a few pictures of them together.  I love the special bond they have, in spite of the seven year age gap between them.  They love spending time together and are super close, and even though they sometimes drive each other crazy, I love watching them together.

Seventeen and So Grown Up!

 

My son Derek just turned seventeen, and it blows me away how much he has grown up this past year (And how tall he has gotten). We took his pictures near the San Antonio Temple, and he looked so handsome.  I love the shot I took of him staring at the temple over the ridge - so sweet. And of course, we had to get a jumping picture - he does love those.

The Sevy Family at the Japanese Tea Garden

 While I was taking senior portraits of Elena, we got a few family shots for the family - even if their oldest son is gone on his mission right now.  The Japanese Tea Garden is such a gorgeous location!

Elena the Senior

 

Last week, I had the fun opportunity to take senior portraits for Elena, a really lovely young woman. We did them at the beautiful Japanese Tea Garden in downtown San Antonio. I loved the variety of textures and plant life, even in the winter. This rock wall was especially cool. And I just love how the pictures turned out.

A Beautiful Home in Bulverde

 

I loved this cute little home I did portraits of the other day. It was cute and cozy and lovely.

The Beautiful San Antonio Temple

 

One of the best parts of our move to Texas, was that it meant that we lived less than half a mile from the beautiful San Antonio Temple. I have always loved taking pictures of beautiful buildings, but especially temples. And this temple has the most amazing stained glass windows, that I did my best to try and get into a lot of my shots. I love how this shoot turned out, and my next goal is to try and get pictures of the temple at sunset.
