Lenny Lamb portraits

admin — Thu, 26 Feb 2009 14:21:00 +0000

We are having so much fun with our Lenny Lamb sessions. The response to our spring sesssions has been overwhelming, but in a very good way. Our parents are loving how gentle and adorable he is. We even let the kids feed him. He’s still a baby, so he likes to eat alot He see’s his bottle and he goes running for it. The little ones have a good time feeding him. We send our parents home with a FREE image of thier child feeding Lenny so they can always remember what they got to do when they came to visit him. It’s not only the kids that love it, but the parents do, too! One of our grandparents that came to help with the grand children while we did pictures snuggled Lenny for a very long time. Lenny loves to snuggle! Some of our other little friends put Lenny down for a nap by snuggling him under a blanket for a little while. He was very tired, so he needed to rest. I am sure they will be talking about this for a very long time:)

I love this picture.. it’s such a sweet moment.

I just couldn’t resist… no one will know just by looking at him that he’s a boy, right??

Besides, isn’t it natural for a little girl to dress up everything:) If anyone asks.. she can call him Lilly.

The kids have such a GREAT time feeding Lenny..

Counting Sheep

admin — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 05:26:00 +0000

I ran into my neighbor today whom I hadn’t seen in forever. You think we would see each other all the time, but our schedules are so different.
So she tells me that the day we bought Lucy home she had just driven up and gotten out of her car and heard this ‘baa’ing’. Well, she figured she would go inside and she wouldn’t hear it anymore because it was a toy. She still hears it, so she goes outside and realizes it’s coming from our yard!! She peaks over the fence like any good neighbor would do to investigate and is eye to eye with our lamb. She is so shocked she calls her husbands and asks him if knows what their crazy neighbors have in their back yard..
So he replies he doesn’t know,and she tells him it’s a lamb. She was concerned that the lamb would keep her up all night. His quick witted response was that she could always ‘count sheep’
and oh yes, he DID JUST SAY THAT!
I thought it was hilarious.

Sleepy Baby

I got to photograph this little tyke the other day. His pictures turned out way too cute! He just wouldn’t wake up! I just had to share.. The beautiful baby looking at him sleep is his cousin…
I will be posting some of my favorite pictures of Easter soon.

Why a lamb

admin — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 13:39:00 +0000

A friend of mine asked me the other day why we chose to do Easter pictures with a baby lamb this year. My response was that it was something God told us to do. I have wanted to do portrait sessions with a baby lamb for a long time, but we had to wait for the right timing and for God to help make it happen. Easter is about the the crusifixion of Jesus and His rising from the dead. Jesus is called the ‘Lamb of God’, and the ‘Lamb that was slain’. In photographing with a baby lamb, it was more then just a cute spring animal, it signified what the Lord did for us. This is truely an amazing gift of life.

Roley and the Lamb

admin — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 04:35:00 +0000

I finally got a picture of our precious little Roley and Lucy. If it wasn’t for Roley, these pictures wouldn’t happen. Lucy listens to Roley,and Roley makes her mind. It’s the cutest thing…. the lamb will baaa her head off if she can’t see Roley. If you don’t know anything about lambs, they are herd animals. They get lonely without companionship. So she has taken to Roley as her companion.

Meet Thumper

admin — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 15:20:00 +0000

This is Thumper. He is on loan from Cathy’s Critters. http://www.cathys-critters.com/
He is the most gentle bunny I have ever met! I just have to tell you about our experience meeting Cathy. I thought she was awesome. I loved her immediately. We drove up to her house to pick up Thumper (which my 5 year old son insists on naming Milo).
When we get there we are greeted by 2 of the cutest pygmy goats I have ever seen. They are quite certain we had come with treats and kept sucking on our fingers. I don’t believe these pygmy goats realize they are goats! They absolutely loved all the attention my children were giving them. After we picked out Thumper-Milo, we proceed to head outside where we are greeted by not one, BUT 3 llamas! They were so sweet. Cathy gave us some feed to feed them,and they loved all that. Well, it wasn’t long that a 4th llama appeared in the picture. He was NOT to be left out. He made sure that he got just as much attention. All of a sudden he appears over by shoulder with his cheek right next to mine! The llama family was very sweet. It was a wonderful experience. It 9pm at night,and my children did not want to leave. Joshua cried because he wanted to bring home the pygmy goats. He thought they were awesome.

I reccomend anyone thinking about having a petting zoo party call Cathy. She is super sweet,and she loves her animals. It’s obvious they get great care.

I was able to take some pictures of my children tonight with Lucy the Lamb.
Here is one of Joshua that I fell in love with.

Boys love lambs, too

I finally got some lamb pictures.. Everyone is asking me a about the details of the shoots..
On March 1st I will be at Lone Star Baby in Frisco, on March 8th I will be at Encore Centre for Dance in Frisco(right on the Little Elm border), and other then that, due to the nature of the props and the animals, I am doing the portrait sessions out of my home studio. Sessions are 20.00 for 1-2 children, and 35 for 3 or more. I do have a baby bunny as well, and if your children do not like the animals, we will get some beautiful pictures anyway with our garden theme.

PORTRAIT PARTIES
You might want to consider hosting a portrait party! A portrait party has 5 or more families, and the hostess will receive a FREE 11×14 if she gets 5 families other then hers. Anything less then 5 families, she will receive a FREE 8×10.
Call for details..hostesses do not have the stay the entire time.

I will be posting some pictures of little boys here shortly.

Meet Lucy!

admin — Thu, 14 Feb 2008 04:50:00 +0000

Lucy is our baby lamb. She is 8 weeks old. We got her on Monday night and she will be in our Easter pictures this year. It was so sad when they took her away from her momma because she cried for her baby. We have been babying Lucy so she will want to be around us. She is super gentle. She has the prettiest face. You can start booking your Easter sessions now. I am also going to be Lone Star baby in Frisco on the 1st, and at Encore Centre for Dance on the 8th. Call me at 214-407-2359 to schedule your session for one of those days, or you can come by studio.
