I know the T family from church–they asked me to take their family photos for their Christmas card and then decided to bring in some extended family for a Merry Christmas surprise for the grandparents! :) I’ve been sitting on these photos for a while and I’m SO excited to share them with y’all.

The first part of our photo shoot was at Cibolo Nature Center in Boerne. SUCH a beautiful location!! You can tell the mamas spent a lot of time coordinating clothes and perusing Pinterest for pose ideas…and it really paid off!

dad with his beautiful daughters

cousins H and M–they were so fun and playful all morning!

Every pose I took of this family was beautiful. They’d sit down and smile, I’d click, and we’d move on to the next location. Super-duper one shot wonders!

I hope this is already framed at Grammy and Pappy’s! Four beautiful grandchildren!!

This is a candid–an authentic moment between a mama and her beautiful babe. I love the “just learned to smile” phase!

The entire family (minus the grandparents)

Another favorite shot–8 people (4 kids!) looking adorable

The second part of our shoot took place another day near Fair Oaks Ranch. It had rained all night and morning long, but we were determined to get at least ONE shot for the Christmas card. ;) The rain cleared off, mom & dad pulled out the wagon, and we played!

I think it’s so important to keep getting couple shots, even after the kids are born. This one shows off T & K’s personalities so well!

This is kind of a non-traditional family portrait–I love that the parents’ presence is hinted at it, with the focus being on the two adorable kids.

Another authentic moment “captured” from afar

beautiful A!

Thank you, T family! I had such a blast taking pictures of your family! :)

I’ve known this beautiful mama for over ten years now and she has an incredible story. In God’s perfect timing, she and her husband are expecting their first child, who they have affectionately nicknamed Baby Love.

We spent some time out at Friedrich Wilderness Park a few weeks ago and captured some beautiful sunrise images.

Congrats, P & J! I can’t wait to meet little Baby Love!
