Houston Baby, Child, and Family Photographer
not much to say on these… but i do have a few updates
1. if you haven’t voted for me in houston’s best children’s photographer yet id sure love it if you did tomorrow is the last day… YOU CAN VOTE FOR ME HERE
2. i will be out of town from today nov7 – nov 27 all emails and calls will be returned at that time…
i truly believe that each of you, no matter what kind of camera you have or dont have, no matter how perfect or imperfect our days can be, it needs to be captured…LIFE needs to be captured. As a group we hope to inspire you to take out that camera, capture a full day of YOUR life, capture your afternoon swinging at the park, or riding bikes to check the mail, any of it, all of it, just capture it! No one but your family will prob ever enjoy these images and hey they may not ever even be edited if you are a photog but the bottom line is someday you will look back and you will be so happy you have these memories captured.

I love all the pictures of their costumes
Two of e prettiest princesses ever!! The night time images are just so perfect! I love these so much girly!!! You are being way to hard on yourself! You couldn’t take a less then beautiful photo if you tried!!!!!
these photos are beautiful!! i have been following your blog for almost a year now! have you ever considered doing a photography workshop, or webinar? You are my photography idol! 
The last two images so so sweet. I think my favorite moments are when you get them together and they don’t know it. True sisterly love…well done.
goodnight ghosts and goblins…
Goodness, it does not get any cuter than that!!
[...] ANSWER: no ma’am i never use external flash i only use available light/natural light. remember when shooting your subject in the park try positioning them in sections of actual light, like with street lights near, next to or behind them to i use this a lot when shooting at night in my home as well, THIS SHOT WHICH WAS ONE OF MY FAV SHOTS EVER or even THIS ONE [...]
while i put my head down and edit like a mad fool…prob no more sneak peeks on the blog for a bit while i take care of everybody…keep up with a shot here or there on Facebook but for now…ill catch on the flip side of the chaos…
xoxo
I adore this, sweet friend…so creative and fun!
Oh my word, that is adorable.
some of you may remember THIS POST from a few months back…well i have been given a second chance to be a part of something special…a second chance to be held accountable…like i said in that post today is a new day, a fresh start and chance to make right what went wrong yesterday. EVERY SINGLE DAY is a lesson, learn from it.
So as you will see i have joined a circle of incredible women and am forever grateful to be a part of this. these women speak my language. they FEEL every moment of their lives, the good, the bad, the frustrating and the so happy you can’t catch your breath ones. AND THEY SHARE THEM. these letters will move you through a range of emotions and be prepared if you are like me and you cry at songs or commercials you will prob shed a tear to two. As you will see our lives are so very different and so very awesome in our own ways, in fact we are located all over the world..but we all share one simple common thread, we love our baby girls with every ounce of us. and after all i can’t imagine a better thing to share.
after you read my letter please follow the circle…start by heading to Kirsty Larmour | Abu Dhabi Photographer her little blondies her incredible photography and her words get me every time i read her blog…you will fall in love with her too xoxo
Beautiful,beautiful!!
Your letter is beautiful and you already know how I feel about these photos. XOXOXOXOX
Oh Sweetheart you are such a gifted soul. But even more so you are such a special person and that resonates so much through the words to your little girls. There is nothing more special then a sibling. I have to say my heart felt full after Lillian was born but it was multiplied times infinity with each little soul that joined our family. I have been so lucky to get to know you over these past months and love that our paths keep crossing. Now I pray that we will be able to meet in “real life” too soon!
oh my. i love love love the post + the images. so happy to have gotten to know you better the last few weeks + can’t wait to read more + learn more. amazingly beautiful images as always xx
Shalonda, I was weeping away my tears while reading your letter. It reminds me so much of my relationship with my sister. How we protect each other, push each other, and love one another. I really love the 4th image. It looks like Addi is protecting her sister by placing her hand on her dress (making sure all is covered. lol.) I am happy for your girls as they will have each other. Love her dress too. Will have to ask where did you get them 
Beautiful!
I, too, am so grateful to have two girls that love each other immensely and will always be there for each other. I don’t have a sister, either, so I know the feeling you have about the special bond that they share.
Gorgeous girls and beautiful photos Shalonda! Your words are so true and I was nodding my head reading. I too have two girls.. and, like you, wished my second would be another baby girl (though I would have been fine either way!) because all I knew was growing up with a big sister. Sisters are the best. Watching them grown up together.. nothing quite like it. We are so lucky. <3 . I am so lucky to get to know YOU through these letters. xoxo
gorgeous shot and such a beautiful story that is so true in life. i loved having my sister so close to me, too. and as we got older we got even closer. if that is even possible. you can see their bond thru these images. such a great capture!
shalonda, i feel so lucky to be acquainted with your lovely soul. i never had a sister, only a brother, who i lost, but not only do i so truly feel what that might have been like, through your words, but i am also taken back to the memories i have with him. these images are so special. almost perfectly symbolic of sisterhood, and their closeness, their being on the same ride together. they are gorgeous and close and i can feel it so clearly. and you are giving them all the love in the world. xoxo
Shalonda, your words really resonate with me because not only do I have two daughters, but I also did not grow up with a sister. It is pretty amazing to watch their bond and see them experience life in a way that is so different from how I grew up. Your words are so special and your images are absolutely gorgeous!
I was away from my computer all last week dealing with a death in the family but just caught up right now. These words are absolutely beautiful. Simply beautiful. You have some lucky little ladies .
Shalonda, these images are magical, and your words resonate so much with how I feel about having 2 girls too – the bond you show in your letter and pictures show how unshakable that bond will be and how those seeds have been planted by you, to take root and blossom for the rest of their lives – thank you so much for becoming part of this project xx
stunning. amazing. perfect.
also, how much do you cry when you write these thing. i cant even read them when im in public!
Does it get any better than sisters? THEN on top of your beautiful words, the images of a homemade swing from those awesome weeping trees anchoring the most delicious backdrop. I love how you describe each one’s personality. So sweet to get to know you this way! Gorgeous.
A truly amazing letter (brings tears to my eyes!) and simply stunning photography. xox
