Yesterday afternoon I did a little informal photo session with the twins since their third birthday is coming up soon. It wasn’t until I looked back at last year’s informal photo session that I realized just how much they have changed and grown this past year.
Here was last year’s “Almost 2″ session…
This was yesterday’s “Almost 3″ session…
I think I will always been amazed at how much they’ve grown. For those who don’t know the story of my twins, they were born 2 months premature (at only 32 weeks). Carson weighed 4 lbs, 4 oz, and Kate was only 2 lbs, 11 oz. They spent the first month of their lives in the NICU being tube fed. It’s hard for me to believe that was 3 years ago now, and I am blessed to have such healthy, happy tots.
This is turning into a black-and-white kind of month. Here are a few of my son Carson at the playground this afternoon. It was such a gorgeous day, and we were finally able to go outside to play.

My tots started preschool on Tuesday, and it’s been a whirlwind of activity ever since. The nightly bath continues to be one of the highlights of the day, and my chance to hear all about their new friends at school.

It’s that time again to start thinking about what to give your sweetheart for Valentine’s Day. They are expecting flowers and chocolates, but why not give them something that they will cherish forever? Flowers die, chocolate land straight on the hips (they do for me, at least!), beautiful/sweet/sexy/stunning photos are timeless. You know your sweetie will LOVE it! So drop me an email and let’s make it happen! Space is limited.

Here is a collection of some of my favorite photos of my twins in 2009…
Slowly but surely we are getting settled into life in Houston. The twins will be starting preschool in a week, and I will be putting my full focus back into photography. I also plan on blogging more — daily life photos, more photos of my tots, more street photography, etc.
In the next few weeks I will be announcing some changes and additions to my products and services…so check back.
I hope everyone has a healthy and happy 2010!

This morning I took the twins out to see baby Leah and her older brothers. I couldn’t get over how big Leah had gotten since her newborn session in June, and how absolutely stunning her eyes are…wow! Here are two quick snapshots I took of Miss Leah.
I especially love this next photo since she is clearly doing the Hook’em Horns hand sign (well, sort of) and her parents are both Aggies (Texas A&M). Don’t worry, Leah, your Auntie Shannon will support you if you head to UT one day!

Even though we are now halfway through December, the leaves in Houston are finally turning. My favorite tree has always been the Japanese Maple, and I’m lucky enough to have this beauty right outside my window.

A few weeks ago, my mother and I took the twins to the Houston Zoo. This was the first time the tots had ever been to a zoo, and they really enjoyed seeing all of the animals that they’ve been reading about in their books. This was my first time to Herman Park and the Houston Zoo, and I was impressed with it. We rode the little train around Herman Park — the tots are obsessed with trains so this was a big deal — and then wandered around the zoo for several hours. Kate loved the children’s petting zoo the most, and Carson loved the elephants.
