Remy
WHAT: Kids   |   WHEN: November 13, 2011
Not too long ago, I met up with friends Francis & Debi to capture a few images of their little boy, Remy, at their home.  Remy's huuuge compared to the last time I photographed with when he was only a couple days old, and he loves - among other things - his doggies, his little red Radio Flyer, splashy time in the pool, and cartoons I've never heard of (but will soon be inundated with).

Here's a few images from our time together.  








Total GQ.




Radio Flyers certainly have evolved since my days as a kid.  I remember them being a rusty red death trap on wheels. Now they come with luxury seating, a steering wheel, seat belts, doors, and if I looked hard enough, I could prolly find cupholders, cruise control, and touchscreen navigation in there somewhere.





Just in case you were wondering or musguided, not all moments are happy ones at our sessions...



... but usually most meltdowns aren't anything a favorite blanky can't fix.  You might say this is Remy's remedy.  (Lame, I know, but I spent just over 30 seconds thinking about that one, so I wasn't gonna waste it.)






There are days I wish I coud wear nothing but a collar and drink from the pool. I think I've seen a few college buddy's do this back in the day.






Not quite 2 years old, and he's already got pectoral muscles bigger than mine.




There's a great story about this image.  To try and make bubbles, Remy would inhale through his nose really hard with the wand in front of his face. Hilarious.




Stylin' in his True Religion jeans.

The Patels [Sneak Peek]
WHAT: Families, Kids   |   WHEN: November 8, 2011   |   WHERE: Deep Ellum Arts District
The last time I photographed the Patels, there were 4 of them. Now they're a party of 5.  Here's quick preview of more to come from their recent session.

Jai & Rishi are practically grown men now. What the heck?? The first time I met these 2, Jai was a toddler and Rishi was only a couple weeks old. Love this image of the two of them with mom.



And here's sweet little Meela having a sweet little moment with her dad.



Stay tuned for the rest of their images soon!

Our Little Pumpkin
WHAT: Kids, Personal   |   WHEN: October 31, 2011
Every week it's something new and more fun than the last with Saige. The last week or two she was introduced sitting unassisted to her repertoire, although falling over is still occasionally a hard habit to let go of. And what would an October 31st post be without a couple images of Saige in her first Halloween costume courtesy of Grammy (Kylie's mom). I realize my daddy-daughter goggles may be slightly biasing my view, but our little pumpkin is freakin' adorable. 




I can't put my finger on any specific reason why, but I've consciously noticed I've been a lot more ga ga over Saige the last couple weeks. I can't get enough of her, and I can't wait to get home to see her. That sounds kinda bad to say that's only happened in the last couple weeks, I know.  Don't get me wrong, I've always been crazy about her, but - and I can't explain it - my emotions towards her just seem to be a little more intense and vivid lately. Maybe I'm going through man-opause. 

Maybe it's because she's showing signs of becoming independently mobile, and I'm fully aware that this time when she is still stationary is about as easy as it's gonna get for a few years. Oof.  [Where'd we put those baby-proofing instructions??]

Maybe it's just because I've been thinking a lot about her getting older and realizing this time in her life - this time where she is totally dependent on Kylie and I (and subject to our every whim) is fleeting, and I want to capture it all and just bottle it up. Each day with her is amazing, but it's also one day closer to the end of when she can seemingly do no wrong and anything she does is ridiculously cute. I mean, seriously, she's cast a freakin' spell on me. How else can I explain thinkin' it's adorable how she coos while I'm changing a diaper that - in any other OSHA regulated environment - would require a gas mask for safety. She's sellin' some pretty awesome Kool-Aid, and I'm drinkin' it by the gallon.

Here's a few more from the last 2 weeks or so.





Rockin' the shades and lady bug shirt look.












Find the baby in the photo...



One of my favorite things to do right now is feed Saige. Wait, let me clarify... One of my favorite things to do right now is feed Saige when she's in the mood to eat. Occasionally she gets a little stubborn, but that's generally the exception... unless we're feeding her plums; she's made it blatantly clear those aren't to appear on the menu anymore. 






Bath time is one of my other favorites. She loves her bath time, and I love just being silly with her and making up pretty awesome song lyrics while she's gettin' suds'd up.  Oh, and I've sang these words a couple times lately: "G.I. Joe want to find out where the bubbles comin' from." Pop quiz... any old school Eddy Murphy fans out there recognize that line? If so, shame on you... you shouldn't have been watching that stuff back in the mid-80's. (let's have lunch and reminisce, though)

Remy [Sneak Peek]
WHAT: Families, Kids   |   WHEN: October 30, 2011   |   WHERE: Dallas
Not too long ago I got to hang out with Remy again.  He's about to turn 2 in a couple months, and he's got so much personality now (as you can see from the image below).


Last time I photographed Remy, he was only a couple days old and a teenie tiny little guy.  Here he is back in early January of 2010 at just 5 days old.  


He's changed just a bit since then, and I'm excited to share the rest of his images after mom and dad come in for their viewing & ordering session.

Six Month Saige
WHAT: Babies, Kids, Personal   |   WHEN: October 10, 2011
What the?  Saige turned six months old this weekend.  Ok... hit the pause button.  Where has the time gone?  Just yesterday she was a baby, and now she's like, a little person.  Well, a little person with BIG needs, but still...

Seriously, it's hard to grasp how much she's grown in such a short period of time.  I find myself thrilled each day Saige days something new for the first time, like the other day when she had her tongue poking out just a little and was blowing and making (probably unknowingly) little bubbles.   So cool.  Now, if she's still doing that when she's 18, not so cool... but for now, rock on.  I wish I could freeze those moments in time and just hold on to them.  

This daddy thing has reeled me in hook, line and sinker.  Shoot, even yesterday we passed a new Honda Odyssey in a parking lot and I told Kylie, "That's a sweet lookin' mini-van." And I wasn't joking.  What the??  What's happened to me?  I tell ya what, though, I wouldn't trade it for anything either.  Before we had Saige I remember people that had kids consistently saying 2 things... 1) "Hahaha... better sleep now", and 2) "There's nothing greater."  I've found both to be true, although I can't really complain too much about the sleep thing because Kylie gets up with Saige if/when she wakes up in the middle of the night. [High five, babe!]  

Every day when she wakes up in the morning and smiles at me the first time she sees me, regardless of how my morning's going, she makes it better.  When I come home from work and see her giggling with Kylie, it doesn't matter how great or how lousy my day's been, that's the highlight.  Now when I see funny videos of kids doing silly things, I laugh because I can relate. Conversely, when I hear stories of little ones getting cancer, losing a parent, or tragically being left in a car in 100 degree temps, it moves me more now because things like those are now my worst fears.  I feel like now that we've had Saige, God has unlocked this part of my heart I never knew existed, and it's an amazing thing.  

I better get on with the images or I might decide to crank up some Journey lullabies and go totally sappy here on the blog.  Sooo... here's a few images of Saige from the last couple weeks as she hits the 6 month milestone. 



Hey, we still have a dog!  Poor Mia... I think she's still a bit shell-shocked and longing for the days when she was our only girl.




Love my girls!



Strangely this next image seems to be foreshadwoing for what's happening to my hair. I think Saige is wearing my future do.


Moments like the one below are my favorite.  I turn into a complete sap when she falls asleep in my arms. I desperately wish there was a way to bottle that feeling because there's nothing better.




Kylie took Saige to the pumpkin patch last week and took one of my cameras with her. I think her little pumkin thug hat is funny.



Saige's big on the knuckle sandwiches these days.



Two words. Thunder. Thighs.  

BTW, thanks to Kim Boyd for this rockin' onesie baby gift. One of my favorites!







It's not clear who enjoys bath time more... me or Saige.
