Our newest nephew, Aidan, of the Kelly clan, was baptized while we were in Lubbock over the holidays. Joseph and I were able to take a few photos. These are our favorites!

I love the color of this boy's hair! The light really brought it out, I thought!






















Favorite #1.


Favorite #2.






Favorite #3.




Rocky, Rosemary, and Magnolia

Melanie and I had the pleasure of doing a photoshoot of a beautiful little girl named Magnolia. So cute! The weather was beautiful, the Botanic Gardens were hopping, and their family was as photogenic as can be.

HAHA! I love Magnolia's face in this picture!







I love Magnolia's face in this one, too. Such a photogenic family. Favorite.

So cute!!!


If you know anything about our photography, you know that we like shots of kiddos next to their parents' legs. I would say it's our signature shot, but we actually stole the idea from another set of photograpers. I like comparing our edits to see how differently we look at images and what vision we have for them.

Here is Joseph's edit:


Here is mine: (of course I like mine better...that's why I edited it the way I did! I like that you can see Rocky and Rosemary holding hands in the image. Precious!)


We found a fun little area that had a "Magnolia-sized" bench. Rosemary, Rocky and Magnolia just played away with each other and we snapped away. Here are our favorites from their little play time!












Here's my favorite shot of the session. I think it might actually be my favorite shot that I've ever taken!


We'll leave you with one last shot of the family! Aren't they just so photogenic? What a beautiful family! Thanks for a great shoot, guys. We had so much fun!!

My brother and his wife and their 5 beautiful kids (one's on the way) asked us over the break if we would take family pictures for them. We obliged. Here are a few of my favorites.


My brother calls this one the 'Children of the Corn' shot.


Ugh. I love the composition of this photo - but I didn't look at the background. Bricks make it all urban... right?



This might be my favorite family picture ever. #3's face is *hilarious* (and characteristic).

Megan took this photo on our family shoot and we edited it alongside their family photos. I think it's my favorite family photo of us! I'll add more once we edit them, now that I have time to sit down and edit our OWN family photos!

Thank you to Megan for taking these photos for us! We think you did a pretty impressive job!

And while we're talking about impressive things...my, my! Who did such a great job coordinating outfits for this family? She, er, I mean, whoever did that has great taste. Special thanks to Aunt Bee for buying the girls their only set of matching dresses! They were perfect for this shoot!



PS. I didn't know how to credit you, Meg. You should make your own watermark this is so impressive!

Kevin, Megan, Damian (and Clare's there, too!)

For the last two years, we and our dear friends have gone out together to take family photos to send out with our Christmas cards. We always have a blast with this family and our little family shoot was no exception! Damian and our oldest girl are best friends which makes our time together even more fun because we get to watch them interact and grow together!

This shoot was a little different because Megan took pictures of us, as well. Plus, we were all trying to keep watch over the toddlers at the same time! We headed out to a little area in downtown Ft. Worth that Joseph and I always thought would be a fun place to shoot. Well, I'm sure it is if you don't have two rambunctious toddlers!! It was also different in that Joseph did all the shooting and I did all the editing. Usually we take turns shooting and then both edit the images, but this time around I was too tired to shoot and Joseph was too tired to edit. We make a great team, I tell you.

Here are our favorite images of the beautiful family!


I love the variation of color on the brick wall. What I love even more, though, is Dami's little expression! What a cutie! Megan and Kevin are expecting their second blessing, Clare, in April.  This ranks as one of my favorites simply because you can see Clare in it. So...

Favorite #1





Dami and his daddy. Too cute!



Favorite #2 






Oh, be still, my heart. We have the cutest godson in the whole world. Oh yeah, have I failed to mention that we are the proud godparents of this precious blue-eyed boy? It's an honor being a part of his life and such a joy watching him grow up! 






Joseph captured some neat photos of Damian playing with his daddy. There is a whole series of images with Dami jumping off the ledge into Kevin's arms; if you scroll through fast enough, it looks like a video! I'll just post one.



I wasn't a big fan of the color in this photo, but I love the image and I really love the look on Damian's face! Plus, Kevin posted this as his facebook picture and people liked it, so apparently I just have bad taste!



I love the lines and colors in this next image!

Favorite of the favorites (#3 for those keeping track):



Thank you for a fun session, guys! We had fun and can't wait until next year! And maybe some maternity pictures. And maybe some newborn pictures. And maybe a ton of pictures of Damian (and eventually Clare!) in between.
