{Photog} All That is Good and Gorgeous

Meet Reese. I got to spend a precious Sunday morning with this sweet bundle of everything that is good and gorgeous. Laid back and beautiful like her momma (remember her stunning maternity pics?), this little one was a joy to photograph. Enjoy your preview sweet M family!

{Photog} Preview of a Preview for a Precious One

I couldn't resist... I'm completely not done with these edits, but just did these and couldn't keep them to myself. How selfish would that be?!?!? They just fill my heart with happiness... (Sigh)... I hope they make your Tuesday a little brighter (or Monday evening, for all you night owls, like me). More previews, and the story on this precious one to come!

{Photog} The Apple and the Tree, Jenny & Bree

When I was young (er, 'cause I still see a 21 year old when I look in the mirror), my mom would often say, "That apple doesn't fall far from the tree," about me, when I did awesome (not always) things just like herself or my dad.
This is my dear (and gorgeous and skinny-in-an-awesome way) friend, Jenny, and her equally dear (and gorgeous and skinny-in-a-future-super-model way) daughter, Bree. And, well, that apple doesn't fall far from the tree (but only cause of the awesomeness, unlike me). I took this fun gal and her mini-me downtown for a unique momma, daughter mini session, and here is what happened...

{Photog} Baby Boy Blue

Meet Cooper. So snuggly and sweet. And his family is just as. Well, I didn't snuggle them, too, but definitely sweet. Thanks for letting me relish in the toes and fingers and cheeks and chunkiness. I had so many favorites in this one. I can't wait to watch this handsome boy grow!

{Wear} A Fall Floral to Twirl In

Who says florals are just for the spring? The pinks, greens, and reds in this floral print really pop on a grey background. It reminds me of those grey fall days that I know are coming. Finished off with black polka dots, perfect for those black suede boots and leggings. The elastic waist band is perfect for dressing babies, or big girls who can "do it by myself". Only a few sizes available, check it out in our Etsy shop. www.etsy.com/shop/thebirdandbee

{Wear} Time to Pull Out the Scarves

This chill in our Texas air is a welcome change from our 100 plus degree days. This means many happy things for me and my family- the state fair, camping, smores, holidays, birthdays, boots, and scarves! Anyone who knows me, seldom sees me without a scarf. They are my most favorite accessory, and I would give anything (almost) to get them in my son's and daughter's sizes. And, because I must share my passion for accessories with my off spring, I made them some myself. And, because I like to share, I made some for you.

Toddler and child size infinity scarves. These scarves are perfect for our active little ones- no beginning and no end, which means no falling off while running amuck. Wrap them twice or three times for extra warmth in soft knits. Our latest fall colors are in! Pistachio green, Marled grey, Rich chocolate brown, and Flecked royal purple. Only one of each in stock right now. Custom orders welcome. www.etsy.com/shop/thebirdandbee

{Wear} Blue Tiered Tutu, One of a Kind

So, sometimes I get an inkling to try something new, or just create out of what I have. Maybe this comes from the times I would create Barbie dresses out of my mothers sewing scraps, or maybe I just have issues with throwing scraps away... Either way, this is the first of many accessories I've been working on, and the only one of this kind. I may or may not recreate this item ever again. We'll just see how it goes. But for now, here's one in a 2T for you.
This tea length 3 tiered tulle tutu skirt is sure to make her spin. Crinkled satin elastic waist band so that your big girl can do it all by herself. Find it in our Etsy shop while it lasts!

{Decor} Little Cabin

While I didn't hand stitch all of these decorations, I did find each piece all over creation and bring them together to create this ruggishly handsome cabin themed boys room, perfect for any young outdoors"boy". Originally designed for my own little woodsboy, now available for yours. Check it out in our Etsy shop!

{Photog} Bucket Rides and Other Shenanigans

Another one of my favorite families... Mostly because they're fun and kind and caring and SO cute, but also because it's my sister, brother-in-law, and niece and nephew. I kind of LOVE them. :) So, of course this was a super fun session. My sister trusts me enough to try my ideas (and there was no way H-man was not going to sit in the bucket after I told him that was the plan... "My mom's going to carry me in a bucket!?!?"-mouth hanging open), and I have to say, I think it paid off.

{Print} Woodland Friends Invite

My precious little sister is having her second baby, and we're celebrating in true outdoor boy style. With the baby room set in a Woodland Friends theme, a shower in any other just wouldn't do.
This invitation is fit for any party in your neck of the woods. These handmade cards are inked and pressed with an owl and branches, framing a simple print. The brown envelopes are lined with coordinating trees, deer, and other woodland friends. Check it out in our Etsy shop!
Pictures from the party are coming soon!

{Photog} All Smiles

Meet Miss E, and her precious mom and dad. She was all smiles this late Saturday morning at the gardens. There's nothing warmer than a baby's giggle and smile... Well, maybe this Texas heat, but that's a different kind of sticky warm. Back to the nice warm... ahhh, baby giggles and smiles. And though, the sweetness was all over her face, she had quite a different agenda. She was going to walk! No sitting in buckets or kneeling on the ground for this one (at least not after she figured out she wanted to stand). I have no doubt that this one will be up for a game of chase very soon. Thanks for a great session, mom and dad. The love you have for your little one warms my heart (and forced my own little ones into a snuggly arm lock they had to wiggle out of when I got home). Love the love that inspires one to love. You can quote me on that... or maybe use it as a tongue twister.
