the cisneros family - san antonio family photography

I have known this family for quite a while now. You may remember "I" from here. "P" and "I" are the best of friends and so are their moms. Rachel had been wanting to do a family shoot for a while but we were waiting for "N" to be able to sit up.

This session was so fun! Rachel picked out a fabulous location in San Antonio and the kiddos had a great time. "I" had a blast playing air drums and guitar while "N" entertained himself by crawling around (which at the time looked more like "the worm").

Thanks Cisneros family, it was so fun! Can't wait for next time.

The Beach boys are Steph's nephews. I've known these kiddos since they were wee ones and they are growing up to be very handsome young men. The guys hammed it up for me a few weeks ago while I was in San Antonio. Of course, we could not have a photo shoot at Chez Goode without a little wine and girl talk afterwards.

I love this one of the cousins.

Stephanie has been one of my best friends for about 13 years. When we met at work, I was just a young high-schooler starting at my very first job and Steph was the mature 21-year old who was making her way in the world. At a time when age was such a "label", she never made me feel like I was just a kid.

Our time together (then and now) is always full of laughs (we laugh until our cheeks hurt), full of happiness and always slightly inappropriate. But isn't that the best part of spending time with a best friend...feeling free to be authentic and uncensored?

This shoot was extra special, extra fun and it involved wine! so...there you go!

Joel is a "hard core" motorcycle man and is teaching J to be hard core as well. Looks like he's doing a good job.

I love that they thought to include their hobby in the session. Incorporating something you love or love to do into a session is a definite way to step it up to another level.

and incorporating your pet works like a charm also...

Leetle is hard core too!

You may remember J from here. He still likes to wear sunglasses (from his mom's purse) except this time she had to convince him that they weren't from her purse but that the reason they weren't his usual sunglasses was because she had just bought them new for him.

J is HARD CORE...

My favorite bike in "the fleet".

This week is exciting! On Wednesday afternoon, I have a BIG family session. What makes it exciting is that it is the family of a childhood friend of mine whom I have not seen in at least 1o years. We have been catching up a little via Facebook and email but I am so excited to see her again and meet her husband and his family. I am truly honored and humbled that she has asked me to photograph them together as a family during this significant season of their lives. Can't wait A!

Also this week: The Rodgers' who are here all the way from Colorado and the Gillenwater's Holiday Shoot (hope T & T start feeling better).

Hello October, here we go!

the cross kids-san antonio kids photography

In honor of C & M's birthdays (4 & 1 respectively), we did a shoot in Blanco a few weeks ago. You may remember the two of them from here.

Their mom is the best Art Director! She knows exactly what she wants and comes up with the coolest locations and ideas for sessions. If you know her (which several of my blog followers do), she is the go-to for these kind of ideas.

Our first stop was a sno-cone stand in Blanco. They weren't open so we improvised with Sonic slushies. Sssshhh, don't give away the secret!

I LOVE his expression in this....it's like he is wishing he were the one taking the bite of sno-cone.

C, went home after this and it was just us girls. A picked out the second location also...an outdoor market on the north side of Blanco.

I drive by this place every week when I go to San Antonio and had never even noticed it.

A ride on the big, PINK Tractor...

Thanks A & L for allowing me to capture these special family memories! It is always a pleasure.
