"A small boy, mischievous to the imp degree."

Hardly an imp, and oh, so cute!!  Barely walking and just past his first birthday, this little man and his car were adorable! But best of all, the contrast of beautiful communion attire, and the roughness of a made-with-love race car made for the perfect portrait! VROOOOOOOM!

and it ended with a smooch....

This wonderful family leaves Texas this summer, and is onto a new adventure which will lead them home to Holland.  They wanted summery images by the pool, as life in Holland won't be quite as warm :)  So to top off the fun that evening, I asked the couple to sneak in a "smooch"....  and it was then that my friend looked at me with the most inquisitive eyes, wondering what in the world I had just asked her to do in front of her children! ha! I guess "smooch" isn't high on the American English vocabulary lists!  But smooched they did and their kids basked in the love of the evening too.  Safe and happy travels to them.... The Woodlands will be left with a heavy heart when they are gone :)

"The earth laughs in flowers..."

This adorable little girl picked and smelled each flower we walked by, and even cuter, she kept and cherished each special bloom in her hand.  But what was even more perfect is that the flowers she chose all matched perfectly with her outfit!  I couldn't have dreamed up a better prop myself!  And while her baby sister sat and wondered about it all with a bit of skepticism at first, by the end, she smiled in spite of herself!!  

Here's to the Earth's giggles and those of little girls' too!  Both of them contagious in spirit!
