That. Just. Happened.

My daughter actually let me take her picture today.  It didn't last long, only 20 minutes, but it was enough to get some pretty cute stuff if I do say so myself.  Technically the lighting isn't what I would consider perfect but I had to sieze the day in this situation.

She usually runs when I say, "Let me take your picture."  The thought just occurred to me that perhaps I should threaten her with pictures next time she refuses to do something which is a lot!  Terrible twos never happened.  It's been the terrible fours.  At any rate here's my favorites:

They get so big so fast.  It makes me sad on one hand but so proud on the other.  Little Miss Sassy Pants.

I also finally had the opportunity to edit our zoo trip pictures from back at Christmas.  Here's a few of those for your viewing pleasure.

This is my husband.  Well his reflection anyway.  The other guy is a monkey.

Watching the turtles eat was pretty cool.

It amazes me how interactive the monkeys were.  My daughter said her favorites part of the zoo was the "chipanties".

Done!

The contest is over and there were plenty of fine entries!  I'm so glad to have gotten to see some of them.  I decided, due to some confusion, that I would award first, second and third place winners a free session and varying discounts on packages.  Here are the winners:

Adorable?  Yes.  If you weren't able to enter this contest never fear!  I will probably run another contest in a few months.  The goal was to make packages available for a discount and to build my fanpage.  It was successful on all fronts.  I appreciate all of you referring friends so much that I am extending a pretty sweet discount to those who entered and did not win.

Crazy weekend...

I. Am. Exhausted.  It was an amazing weekend of shooting.  After the freeze on Thursday and Friday I was afraid I would have to reschedule my three sessions this weekend but thankfully the sun came out and we got a little bit of Spring time weather.  Only in Texas...

Here's a really cool family.  I enjoyed hanging out with them and I have some pretty cool ideas for them in the future so be on the look out for that!

This little cutie gives the best hugs...however, when I asked if I was her friend she told me not to say that.  What a diva!

And lastly, but certainly not least, this little guy is all boy!  Runny nose and all.  His pants were just a tad too big and he showed me a little more than I bargained for in the form of a full little moon!

Slowing down a little bit next weekend for some much needed rest.  With the exception of a newborn session I will be putting my house back together from a remodel.  Yes, it is chaos at the Villarreal house!
