love these people. houston photographer

this session is special to me as all of them are for different reasons though! this is my brother (don’t we look alike?), sister in law & their kids: ben & braden. my garrett is sprinkled in there randomly. this session was planned long ago for my sweet, sweet dad’s birthday. the disc & 3 stand outs will be his gift tomorrow. i can’t WAIT to give it to him. but sshh, don’t tell! i am really bad at keeping secrets related to gifts that i’m excited about & i have been pretty much busting at the seam, he loves pictures & picture taking as much as me so he will love having the pictures. my mom is obsessed with stand outs so i know she will be excited, too….and i know my dad will really appreciate the fact that scott & stacy (who hate etting their picture taken) got the whole family all dressed & out the door to do this. well….just had to share because i love these people so much! and a big shout out to my dad who happens to have a pretty huge, monumental birthday tomorrow (he is turning 40 😉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!! you’d think i could just wait to share this until after his bday, right? i had made it so far keeping this secret operation on the DL but i have reached my maximum amount of self control!

OUTTAKES:

these boys have so much fun when they are together….maybe too much! ben was making noises with his mouth & ben & braden would LAAUUGH…they are only 4 days apart (3 years old) & ben is 6. they worship ben.
this was a long time ago that we took these. it was one of my very first sessions using kelvin white balance thanks to sarah wilkerson’s tutorials on clickinmoms. now i am obsessed & would have it no other way than kelvin!
