Chandler said: This is really something. The scenery is perfect. The little girl and dog make this photo have a comfortable homey feeling. Without them, it could have been just another scenery shot. I just love this, I really could go on and on haha. Great, great work!! - Chandler (10.07.11 @ 05:52 AM)

_mg_8531.jpg I love the clean, simple feel of this wedding. And of course, I love everything modern- The Modern Art Museum in Ft. Worth, TX was the setting. Everything felt super organic and natural. The bride is of Native American descent and so she included a feather in her bouquet represent her family. Lovely.

ajira said: Absolutely fantastic images! Adore the ring shot, the bridal party running at the camera and especially the portrait of the bride and groom looking at each other in front of the window. Timeless! (07.19.11 @ 10:26 AM)

it is always refreshing to drop everything on a whim and go visit your grandma a.k.a. nana. it was so hot today and we were itching to get out of houston even if it was for a couple of hours.  i love my nana and i had fun taking leon and stella out there together. it was leons first trip and he was happy to be outside and see cows and mud. stella loves hanging out with her nanny and she was happy to pick blue bells for her.  so many wonderful memories were had here and i am glad that my kids get to experience it too. i hope you all have a wonderful 4th of july!   farmblog2c.jpg

mr. leon told me he was sad that he did not get to show you the tour with miss stella so i told him he could take us on the upstairs tour. he is just one month shy of learning to walk so he is on the go! i am learning quickly that boys will be boys! boys = destructive and into everything dirty and dangerous.  leon certainly is proving his boyhood. i really fear when we are done with the addition and he takes to the stairs by himself.  i guess an ugly baby gate needs to be purchased.  unless you know of a good looking baby gate out there?

kati said: a boy in saltwater seawees is pretty much the cutest thing ever, don't you think?! when my daughter was learning to walk, i was obsessed with getting good-looking gates for our stairs. ugly grey plastic ones were going to depress me. we shopped unsuccessfully for a while... and then she fell down the stairs while my husband filled the bathtub for her one night. then how awful did i feel about being so vain about my baby gates! she was fine. and i still wanted nice gates. but the next day i ordered some simple black metal gates and they've looked great (with our grey walls and white moulding) and corralled both the kids and the dog wonderfully ever since. i wish i remembered the name for you. but nice gates are out there!

brooke said: kati, yes, boys look so cute in those shoes! :) i love dressing him in those. i will look for a baby gate and if i find one i will be sure to blog about it. :) i may even make my own and make it pretty. because we have to have all things attractive over here. (06.29.11 @ 09:02 AM)
Nancy said: Brooke, he has grown so much! I'm in love with him and his outfit! (06.30.11 @ 07:21 AM)
Carly McCray said: Your kids are so dang cute + I just love your work! We found a gate that I wouldn't necessarily claim is hip, but it's not fug-hideous and it's been 15-month-twin proof so far. It's the deco gate via Babies r Us... http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4322416&prodFindSrc=search (07.06.11 @ 11:38 AM)
andrea said: We like our baby gates - made by KidCo - I think it's their Metro line, but I'm not sure. Comes in white, black or aluminum metals (that are heat-resistant in case you need to put in front of a fire place) and can support more than the weight of a child hanging on them (not that I know this from experience with my boy...oh wait, yes I do!) They are great because you can buy the number of sections you need or do a pressure-mount one and either way, you can pop them on and off pretty easily if you want to remove them for a party, etc. Website is: http://kidcosafety.com Hope that helps!
