Merry almost Christmas, everyone!

Christmas is always such a fun, special time, and we had an absolute BLAST with all of our awesome families and couples this year! We tried something new and ventured out to Holiday Acres Christmas Tree Farm, and it was sooo worth it! (It may be a new tradition, I’m still undecided!)

Our mini sessions brought us new friends and familiar faces, and so many sweet smiles. :) If you didn’t get in on the party of this year’s Christmas minis, we hope to see you next Christmas!

Check out some of our favorites!

Happy Birthday, Belle!

It's Belle's first birthday, and we want to sing a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this cutie!

It's Belle's first birthday, and we want to sing a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this cutie! We were hoping to be able to do some cute outdoorsy photos for her, but the crazy Houston weather kept us inside... Regardless of the circumstances, we still were able to get some pretty darn cute photos of little Belle! She was timid at first, but definitely warmed up to the camera once the balloons came into the picture. ;) 

Belle, we hope you have a wonderful time at your party tomorrow, and can't wait to watch you continue to grow! Happy birthday!!

-Mikala & Josh

Emmy's 7 Month Update

It's been so fun to watch little Emmy and her bubbly personality grow! We had the pleasure to take some 7 month progress pictures of her, and in the words of Josh, "She is such a DOLL!" And once you see her pictures, I don't think there will be any disputing that!

Azzams in the Pumpkin Patch!

We had such a fun time at the pumpkin patch with Brittany, Mitch, and their two cuties, Cooper & Brielle at their mini session! Cooper was SO GOOD at saying "Cheese!" We have to give him major kudos there, for sure. ;)

The Ellisons' Little Pumpkin!

Let me first say, we have absolutely loved being able to see little Emmy grow! (even if it only has been 3 months! haha) This little pumpkin was simply adorable in her strawberry costume, and in the words of Josh, "What. A. Doll!" You know you can't deny it!

Micale, sorry that Emmy just refused to smile for us, but that makes her no less precious! I mean look at that little sleeping angel! We can't wait to see this precious little face again soon!

Happy three months, little Emmy! Mikala & Josh love you! :D

Check out their mini session at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church in Pearland, TX!

Ryan Family Vacation

We absolutely adored our time with the Ryan family! They decided to spend a relaxing weekend in Galveston (one of our most favorite places ever) for Fourth of July weekend, and I'm so glad they decided to take some photos of the family while they were down!

The twins, Abby & Aiden, were absolute dolls, and Jake was a ball of energy and personality! Thank you, Amy, for giving us the opportunity to spend some time with your family!

IV's First Jam

This little baller turns one this month! To celebrate, mom & dad are throwing a Space Jam themed party and wanted basketball pictures. Honestly, I don't think little IV could be any cuter!

This little baller turned one this week! To celebrate, he is having a Space Jam themed party, so naturally, what would make more sense than some basketball pictures! Honestly, I don't think little IV could be any cuter! We loved his happy demeanor and sweet personality during the shoot (and every time we see him!) and it's without a doubt that he loves his mom & dad. :) 
Tito and Sam, we love you and your precious family, and IV is such a little model baby that we would take pictures of him everyday if we could! ♡

Aria & Ainsley's Enchanted First Birthday!

Aria and Ainsley had the most precious "Enchanted First Birthday"! Ashley did a wonderful job ensuring that the cake, table decorations, outfits, and PONIES were nothing short of perfect for her girls' big day!

Don't ever say Facebook is good for nothing! I saw on Facebook early in May that a fellow choir member from high school (11 years ago, to be exact), was looking for a photographer for his adorable twins' first birthday party, so I reached out! Thank you, Facebook, for the high school reunion, of sorts!

Anybody else wish they had ponies at their birthday party?! The house was full of friends and family, and the atmosphere was buzzing with the love for these two sweet girls. 

Daniel & Ashley, congratulations on successfully making it through the first year with your girls and throwing them a great birthday bash! It was nothing short of enchanted. ;)
