Horse and Rider – Personality Photography Houston, Katy, Midland

It’s been a while since this lifestyle session took place, but since the Houston Stock Show and Rodeo is in town,it seems like this is an appropriate time to share a few images from a dusty early morning in West Texas .

I’ve known John since we were both scrawny little fourth graders — and that was more than just a few years ago.

We totally drifted into separate worlds  as life and families came along,  but became reacquainted through Facebook  a few years ago.  Not only is he a skilled horseman, but he’s also become very thoughtful and talented writer.

When I was back in Midland a while back, I had an opportunity to ride out to his property which he calls Rancho Notso Grande.  (GOTTA love that name) so I could photograph him working and caring for his magnificent animals.

What a treat!

A Whole Lotta Lovin’ in this Sweet Young Family – Katy West Houston Family Photographer

This baby girl, about as sweet as a strawberry sundae with whipped cream and sprinkles on top, came to visit me the other day.

We had planned for an outdoor session, but the cold wet weather made us change our plans and move into the studio.  I’m so thankful on days like this for the flexibility of backup locations, because Baby, Mama and Daddy were all safe, dry, cozy and comfortable for our time together.

Mommy and Daddy, also known as Kristin and Bobby have a long and romantic history together.  It all started when Bobby fell heels over head in love with his best friend’s little sister back in high school.  That’s about all there is to it.  In actuality, their Love Story would probably make a pretty good movie, except they’ve only just started living it.  We’ll just have to check back in with them over years to read the happy epilogue.  Personally I think it will include a happily ever after with picket fences, puppy dogs, and silly songs– Kool Aid mustaches, and finger paints —  Dancing on Daddy’s feet and of course, lots and lots of Butterfly Kisses.


 

I can’t begin to say how much I enjoyed getting to know this sweet family.   I so look forward to watching and photographing more scenes for their movie.

Popcorn anyone?
