Gillian Harper Grogan | watch me grow

Welcome Gillian Harper Grogan! This little bundle of joy has special place in our heart because her parents, Angel and John Grogan, were one of our first engagement sessions and weddings we photographed! And know we have the privilege of photographing their first born! Talk about A-maaazing clients!!

Gillian's newborn session took about 2 1/2 hours because she just wouldn't go to sleep. But when she did, I was like a kid in a candy store trying to get every conceivable new shot. You will get to see how Gillian grows over the year because she's part of our watch me grow program.

Here are some of my favorites and the link to her slideshow.

Davis Family

Meredith, Chad, and their two adorable little girls, Logan and Morgan, came to see us just before Christmas.

To say that Logan, the oldest, loves the camera would be an understatement! To make her feel even more FAB-ulous, we brought out our supermodel fan to give her hair some movement...and she worked it like she had been doing if her whole life!!

Here are some of my favorite shots!

Nashville,TN | Imaging USA

OMG....2010 is going to be A-maaazing!
PPA (Professional Photographers of America) organized a huge expo and workshop in Nashville, Tennessee. I was overwhelmed with so many amazing new products but John kept a tight hold of the checkbook! Dang him!!

Anyhoot, one night, we drove from the Gaylord Opryland Hotel to downtown Nashville for dinner. I brought the camera along for fun and here are some of my favorite shots!

Also, just wanted to remind you that I will not be in the studio full time until February 2. I'm taking the next few weeks to catch up on paperwork. But I will be posting some pix from sessions we did in December.

Galveston, Texas

Galveston, Texas is where I was born and raised and where most of my family still resides. So, John and I decided to visit the island and look for a small office space we could potentially use as a second studio. There are so many beautiful old buildings just begging to be used.

It was nice to see the ocean and fill our bellies with fresh seafood! We had jumbo shrimp just about every night!

We also got the opportunity to visit Pastor Joel Osteen at Lakewood Church in Houston. It was simply amazing to be a part of such inspirational worship.

Here are some of my favorite pictures along the way.
