Quick update

It's December 1st... I've been on vacation in Atlanta this past week for the Thanksgiving holidays and I did NOT want to come back and face reality! I was really enjoying not working, eating lots of delicious food, sleeping in, and spending time with amazing people. I have SO MUCH TO DO before this month ends... actually, I have to get it all done before Christmas! I'm so excited though because right after Christmas I am hopping on a plane to NEW YORK CITY for New Years! YEEAHH!!! I am soooo pumped! That is going to be such an amazing trip and I am geeked out of my mind about it!

ANYWHO-- I just wanted to let you know that I plan on launching my new website before December is over! I'm SUCH a perfectionist and the reason it's taking me so long to finish it is because I never feel like it's good enough, or complete. So I've just decided that I am just going to launch it even if I don't feel like it's done. No more putting it off, or excuses. Just going to do it. Period.

Wish me luck because this next month is literally going to be the busiest month my life has ever seen! Here we go!

I love fairies!

I just got done shooting little Blakeleigh's pictures. I am wore out because she is a handful! But I just HAD to hurry up and put a couple of the pictures on here because they are ADORABLE!!! Blakeleigh's mom is my cousin, Chasity, whom I love love!! I'll have more later but for now...

Doesn't this picture just make your heart happy? :)

Busy Little Bee

The rest of this month through December is going to be VERY busy for me! I'm just warning you! From now until New Years I have several weddings, photo shoots, my regular work schedule, lots of traveling, the holidays, etc!! But I have soooo many great shoots coming up that you are all going to just love! I am so very excited about it all, my brain is oozing with ideas that I can't wait to try out!! So I apologize now but I guarantee you this blog isn't going to get updated nearly as much as I will want it to in the next few weeks! Boooooo! I promise to try my very hardest even if it's just a teaser here and there. ;)

Life is going tremendously right now! Busy, but incredible! God is so good to me, I really don't know why sometimes... but what I do know is I am so grateful for it! He is an amazing Father and I am so lucky to be His child!!! I have never been happier than I am right now!

For now I will leave you with one of my favorite pictures from an engagement session I recently shot of the amazing Karina and Danny. :)

Stay tuned for more!

Way overdue!

Finally! Some time to blog! Get ready, cause this one is going to be a long one! I'm combining three different sessions into this one blog post! WHEW! It's all dedicated to families and children. I have more pictures to put on here, but this should give you all something to look at for a bit.

FIRST OFF! -- Emily and Jon's beautiful family! Okay so I love this girl. I have known Em for about 12 years now. She was homeschooled just like me and became one of my dearest friends! This girl is AMAZING!!! I can't say it enough... she was my inspiration and someone who truly impacted my life when I was a teenager. Em is truly a real lifelong friend. :) I love you EM!

She has a GORGEOUS family! They live in Houston now, but we managed to squeeze this session in at 7:30am on a Saturday morning while they were in town for business! I'm glad we did because look how great they all look!! ---

How cute is Gavin?

arte*dellafiora

Elliot has a natural mohawk!! I love it!!!

arte*dellafiora

Elliot wasn't feeling this one too much, haha!

arte*dellafiora

Look at these two lovebirds.

arte*dellafiora

I shot Emily and Jon's wedding back in March 2001... which was one of the first weddings I ever shot. I had to dig and dig to find this picture, but it was well worth it! Good 'ol 35mm film! This was a totally candid moment by the way!

arte*dellafiora


NEXT -- Keesha and Aaron! I met Keesha a couple of years ago. I was supposed to shoot her wedding, but she had to change her date on me and I was already booked on that particular date so I wasn't able to! Which was a huge bummer for not only her, but me! However, I was able to shoot her bridal and engagement though and we totally hit it off and have been friends ever since! I love it when clients turn into friends! Keesha and I have a lot of laughs and always have a great time together as well as great conversations. She is a huge support in my life and has a great heart! She has a beautiful family!

Could you get any more picture perfect?

arte*dellafiora

I love this of the whole family admiring the latest addition to the clan. :)

arte*dellafiora

Isn't he precious!?

arte*dellafiora

Love it.

arte*dellafiora

Dylan and Chase are so sweet!

arte*dellafiora

Awww!

arte*dellafiora


Keesha- We HAVE to get together soon! :)

And last but not least, Cecilia's baptism!! It's pretty obvious I adore this child. Haha! She really is a great baby! I am so glad I get to be in her life and watch her grow! Her mom Zoe is my best friend whom I love dearly. I am so happy I was able to be a part of this special day. :)

Godmother (and aunt) Rochelle.

CC was totally enamored by father Andrew. She loved him!

arte*dellafiora

With mom and dad.

She was all smiles while this was happening! So cute!!

Okay, that's all for now!! Have a fabulous Monday evening!!

Sean's Senior Pics Part 1

Sean told, not asked, told... me about a year ago that I would be shooting his senior pics even before he was a senior. It was so cute how serious he was about it. Not that I would have said no, but if I had wanted to, there was no way he was going to take no for an answer. He knew what he wanted and he was going to get it! And he did!! Below are a few pictures from the first part of his senior pictures. We will be shooting the 2nd part in the spring before he graduates. Sean is such a great guy and has such a tender and sweet heart. I know Sean is going to go on and do great things with his life! I fully believe in him!! He comes from a TREMENDOUS family whom I adore.

More to come!!

Don't you just love all his cute freckles!?!

arte*dellafiora

He's from Louisiana, but he's a HUGE Texas fan. What is wrong with this picture?
