It is usually because I am working behind the scenes on something that will later be revealed. There is always something to be done around here. In case I have failed to mention it in the past, I have 4 kids, 2 dogs, one husband, one photography business, and and and. . . . And if that wasn’t a full plate already, I homeschool. There, I said it. I. Homeschool. No, I do not wear my hair in a bun or wear long skirts. (And if that is you, you go girl!) So, now that I have made it clear that I stay busy. I will say that I HAVE been working on something especially fabulous. I decided to change the name of my photography business from Anna Roorda Photography to Texas Art Girl Photography. In doing so, I thought a change in look and feel was needed. So, in between my time spent eating bon-bons, raising 4 kids, editing pictures (both yours and mine), letting the dogs in and out and in and out, and homeschooling, I have launched a new website! I am very excited about this! You can click on the link over to the left that says Texas Art Girl Photography and take a peak yourself. I am also going to be carrying some new and amazingly beautiful products for your images. But more about that later . . . So, run, go take a peak and then let me know what you think. Leave a comment here if you like – I promise I don’t bite. And because this is a site about photography, I will leave with an image I took at one of the missions in San Antonio a few months back, edited just FOR YOU!
But not for lack of photos taken. These are simply yummy! The colors, the location, and the beautiful family – it all came together so wonderfully!
Count them up! There are 5 of these cute kiddos. This was a ton of fun, and I think the pictures show it too!
Gosh, doesn’t Mr N look so handsome in his outfit?! What fun it was to photograph him. He was the third participant in the mini session. Check out how great he looks! I think Gap might be calling soon.
This little sweet blondie was a bit shy at first. However by the end of the quick little 30 minute mini session, we were friends. Beautiful day, beautiful family.
What fun these cousins are to photograph! I love how much they enjoy being together too. This is the first set from the mini session that was this last Saturday.
The bond between these two girls is so fun to see. And – what is NOT to love about these outfits!?
Newborns are funny people. They squeak, grunt, flail arms and legs, and are awake when you would think they would be asleep and vice versa. It is always amazing to me how such personality comes in such a little package. This little guy was wide awake most of the photo shoot. Such a cute little peanut!
Don’t you just want to squeeze these chubby legs and cheeks? Check out that third picture. He just might be giving an opinion on the whole photo shoot.
