February's Baby {Dorean Pope Photography} Lockhart Newborn Photographer

Who else is loving this weather? I will not complain when I have a February baby that I can photograph in the great outdoors!! I call that a WIN! Can't get over these precious family shots from his session.

Miss B Is 6 Months Old {Dorean Pope Photography}

This little one was such a sweetie.  She put up with all of our outfit changes like a champ!  

She did have a love affair with the grass going on though.  But what can you really expect when you put a baby on a blanket in grass?  

Of course they are going to try to explore!  That is their current job in life. :)  Miss B is a doll and it was so much fun capturing her at 6 months old. 

If you want to check out Miss B's newborn session and see her on that scale when she was brand new, you can do so here....

We Are Fa-Mi-Ly {Dorean Pope Photography}

So very thankful for this family.  

What a blessing to share life with them, to learn from their love and example.  To gather with them on holidays and share laughs and inside jokes.  Our shared history is priceless. 

Love you guys big!

I'll Be Home For Christmas {Austin Family Photographer}

Had so much fun with all of these Buckeyes on what was a very chilly fall morning to me.  They assured me that it wasn't really all that cold, and that was just my Texan talking. :)  I was glad the cold didn't phase them and we were able to document this momentous occasion when they were all together for the first time in three years!  It is so important to take advantage of opportunities like this, our portrait session was Grandma's Christmas present.  I hope it is a present that brings her much joy for years to come as she looks at these images on the walls in her home! 

Thank you so much for sharing some of your precious time together with me, y'all!  It was a blast!

Bright and Sunshiny Day {Wimberley Family Portraits} Dorean Pope Photography

I hit the jack pot with this family session.  Look at those bright and shiny smiling faces.  Loved every minute with them in the beautiful Wimberley Hill Country. 

Mama's gorgeous green couch definitely added a special touch to the session.  This has convinced me that I definitely need a couch of my own for sessions!  Now I just have to figure out where I can put it in my house. :)  

Thank you so much, H family!  It was a blast!

Brrrrr {Austin Photographer}

We decided at the end of this session that next year, we will do our session in September.  This means that I am just warning you now, we will either have a 45 degree day in September next year, or maybe it will be 110!  If history is any indication of the future, then no matter when we plan our session, there will be extreme weather.  Our general consensus is that we would rather go for hot than cold any day, so we will shoot for September next year and hope for hot! :)

Considering the 35-40 mph gusting northern wind and 50 degree temperatures, I am so very happy with what we got from this session!  They huddled together between poses, sharing the one jacket that mom happened to grab.  And then smiled valiantly pretending they weren't about to turn into icicles.  If nothing else, I have guaranteed them memorable sessions! ;) 

Thanks for the fun, W family!  Y'all are great sports!

A Gruene Christmas {Dorean Pope Photography}

This was the first time I have been to Gruene for a session this fall.  We had fun and loved the backgrounds as usual, but BOY was it busy for a Thursday.  We were definitely fighting the crowd of other photographers, but it was worth it!  

The interaction, love, and wide eyed wonder we were able to capture makes me smile.  Congratulations H family on your upcoming addition!
