Echo Lake Photography

Oh.  My.  Gosh.  Don’t you think sisters like these make my job   Oh.  So.  Easy??

And one last one — my favorite little outtake from the evening –

Over the last several years, I’ve had plenty of memorable photo shoots.  I had one child fall in a pond as we were leaving a location, I had one child relieve himself in a fountain in downtown Bryan, I’ve shot in both a NICU and a PICU, and I’ve shoot on location at both 38 degrees and 108 degrees.  I may have to add this shoot to the list of memorable shoots.

To begin with, this adorable little dude . . .

. . . just apparently doesn’t like me.  Or maybe he doesn’t like having his picture taken.  But whatever the case, he doesn’t like to lay on his belly, bend his legs, or be anywhere that’s not in someone’s arms!

(I think he thinks that with good looks like these, he’ll be able to get away with murder!)

But we kept plugging away . . . and plugging away . . . and he and Mom and Dad were REAL troopers.

(I mean, SERIOUSLY.  Who is supposed to look this good 6 days after having a baby????)

So, as I packed up to leave, and backed my husband’s car down their L-O-N-G driveway, I managed to drop a back wheel off into the culvert right at the road and high center the car on the edge of the driveway!  In the rain.  For the next 3 hours.  And even the first wrecker we called said he couldn’t get me out - I did THAT good a job of making a mess!   But, with the help of my uncle, husband, this little guy’s dad, and their neighbor, the car is now back in MY driveway, safe and sound.   This one’s for you, dad - thanks for helping with my car situation, and Gig ‘em!

Little Miss “A” got here a little ahead of schedule - while we were in Florida at Disney World, to be exact.  But despite our trip and the holidays, we manage to squeeze in a newborn session with her, and once she got to sleep, she was as good as gold!

I’m not so sure Mom had these green boots in mind for the photos, but hey - sometimes you do whatcha gotta do, right?  The joys of shooting photos of kids!

Last year we had to shoot photos for this family in the PICU at Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital.  This year we got to do it at HOME.  What a change!  Little sister managed to stay out of the hospital for us this year - a trend I surely hope continues.

I am honored to take photos for this family.
