Out of Office till Monday - Come See Me!

I will be out of the office till Monday with no access to voice mail or email.

Come see me on Saturday and Sunday! The Woodlands Mall is hosting the 2nd annual Kid's Fair this Saturday and Sunday...tax free weekend. The Houston Zoo, Mad Science, Texas Rennaisnace Fair, Face Painting, Balloon Sculptures, Free Fingerprint Kits, and even Cooking Classes for kids....so make sure to bring the kids and have some fun.

I will have a booth set up to showcase lots of new artwork! So, if you are braving the mall, stop by and say hello! I'll be right next to the performance stage in the JC Penney courtyard area (where Santa is each year) on the side closest to Dillard's. See you there!

Baby Ava needs your help...

This is probably going to be a long blog post. But, just indulge me a bit. I've only known Ava for a short while, but I've already grown quite fond of this pretty baby. Baby Ava celebrated her 1st birthday not too long ago. She came in to see me for her first birthday portraits. Little Miss Ava looks just like any other one year old celebrating her birthday, but Ava happens to live with a genetic disease called SMA Type 1. Ava is beautiful, bright and as smart as any other one year old but she has lots of obstacles that she has to overcome everyday just so she can make it to her next birthday. Please help Ava by learning a bit more about SMA. It is a common, but not well known genetic disease. Ava and the other children with SMA need your help by signing the petition to fund additional SMA research....research that could help save Ava's life. I know her parents are reading, and I am certain that they really appreciate the signatures and I do as well.

Alvarado Children - Children's Portraits The Woodlands

Check out these two cuties! :o) You know you just want to squeeze the little chunk-of-luv in the red hat! I had a grin on my face the whole time I photographed him and his big sis. To resist smooching all over his chunky little cheeks was so hard!

The Guinn Kids - Woodlands Photographer, Houston Photographer

Could the Guinn Family get any cuter??? These triplets have always been some of my favorite kids to photograph and now with the addition of baby brother, they are just an overload of sweetness. We captured a few of all of the kiddos together, then Mr. L #4 got to be the star of the show for his 6 month portraits.

And, last but not least, I of course have to add a little plug for the Multiples Group that the mommy of these kiddos is a part of.... The Woodlands Mother's of Multiples. They are a great group of ladies, so if you have a set of multiples, or if you are expecting multiples, then make sure to check them out!

Ms. Lela was *all* belly and we had lots of fun making fun of her cute protruding tummy during the session....lovingly making fun of course....you can't even tell she is pregnant till she turns to the side. Lela is a good sport. :o) Dad is a serious one and he made me work for his smiles during the session.
