Meet Cutie Pie Hannah!

Remember this sweet face?


There are so many reasons I can't wait to share these photos of sweet baby Hannah, but for the sake of time I'll just name my top three.

one & two...
She is round, cute, and insanely lovable, AND I'm so lucky to call her family. I just can't stop smiling or hugging her when I am around her. I get real close to snatching her up and bringing her back home with me every time. Just editing these pictures I am counting down the days until I get to squeeze her again. I'm not the only one either, my family & I have serious debates about who has and hasn't gotten to love on her when she is around LOL!

3....
The doctors said she was a risk not worth taking to her mamma's health. A risk her sweet mom shouldn't take. A risk that could just go away like no big deal...yeah right! Well, as you can see the Lord had other plans, as did her momma. Every time I'm around Hannah, her big brother and her Momma I just melt into one big puddle of love. Those three together are such a sweet sight to see. To think she was ever considered a "risk" is just outrageous. I thank the Lord that her mother is a God-fearing woman that has admirable faith.

Now before I get to Oprah on ya, let's get to those sweet pictures of HANNAH!
prepare to wrinkle that face into one big SMILE!

To wear a dress or not to wear a dress?
Every girl's battle.



Hannah chose the later of the two.
Check out her sassy pose, she chose this all by herself too!



If only chubby cheeks & drool looked this cute on me...


Oh the curious mind of little ones is so FUN to watch in action...


These two have a lot in common. For starters they are survivors, love to laugh, AND HOW CUTE are they to watch hanging out...


Now, I don't know about you, but I CAN SO relate...just replace that bow with chocolate haha!!




Hannah, you are an angel & bring so much joy to so many people. I look forward to watching you grow up to be a beautiful little lady. Keep that sassyness, goofy personality, and you will continue to bring so much sunshine into everyday lives of those lucky folks that get to be around you! To Hannah's Momma, thank you for letting me share this...you are an amazing MOM and a beautiful soul! LOVE YOU!

XOXO,
Laura Arellano

Sneak-a-roos: Meet Senior Andrea & Baby Hannah

As I edit these pictures I can't stop singing "WE ARE FAMILY"...because that's exactly what these two beautiful girls are to me. One is a graduating cousin that I can't believe is even driving and the other is a baby cousin that brings such big smiles to everyone who meets her! I loved spending part of my day with both of them yesterday...lots of laughter, smiles, and silliness filled the West Texas air! :)

I can't wait to edit more and show them off, but for right now these few sneak-a-roos will have to do!

Enjoy....

meet Andrea....



I asked her if I could borrow her hair, or know her secret to her luscious long locks...she said her secret is..."whatever shampoo her mom buys!"


One of my favorite things is making this girl laugh...she makes me feel so funny and laughs at my jokes so I'm not just laughing at myself, I HAVE SOMEONE LAUGHING WITH ME, or at me? Either way I love her so much for it! :)

Meet baby Hannah....
**warning she is ridiculously cute & round so this makes you want to squeeze her but she would rather just play around and laugh at herself...my kind of girl! :)**


Too cute to handle...am I right?


As always, there is more where that came from, so come back soon, leave some love & enjoy this beautiful day that the Lord has made! :)

XOXO,

Meet Picasso Parker!

Now, I love Texas...but sometimes, I just can't stand how big it is. Sometimes, I feel oceans & mountains away from loved ones. Don't believe me...google Alpine, Texas to Denton, Texas or vice versa & you'll see why Kristel & I don't get to see each other near enough.

Oh man, Kristel & I daydream about the day we can live closer together. This means working together more, hanging, shopping, all the wonderful things that best friends & sisters love to do! AND for me this also means...I get to spend more time with precious Parker, Kristel's spunky 3 year old. I'm so honored to be called "Aunt Lur-wah" by Parker. One of my favorite reasons to call Kristel is because most of the time the other side of the line is picked up with a "Hey Lur-wah watcha doin sugar booger" from Parker, it makes me smile from ear to ear every time. If Parker doesn't make it to the phone before his mother, I usually asks for at least a minute to speak to him & that's all I need. Within one minute, Parker can catch me up with what he has done in the last 24hrs & what he is doing at that very moment, & what he plans on doing with the rest of his time!

Well, last week I hit gold when I called Kristel. Parker was just about to do a little painting when I called Kristel & heard " Hey Lur-wah, i'm paintin." I asked him what he was paintin' & he said "oh, i'm paintin' spid-uh-man, i'm gonna paint spid-uh-man for you Lur-wah!!!" It just made my day!

Now, I would have been fine just knowing that the world's cutest Picasso painted a picture thinking about me, but it gets even better! Oh yes, last week my roommate brings me a mail package from Kristel & Parker, I rip it open & there it is...the painting of "spid-uh-man" topped off with some transformers stickers! It made my heart sing & made me feel like the world's richest art owner!

It might not be Picasso, but in my heart it so much better. It's legit, it's authentic, it's one of a kind, it's something I can't wait to show Parker when he gets older! It's worth a million and one in my book. :) I can't wait to find a cute frame & perfect spot for this one of a kind "Spid-uh-man" meets Transformers piece!

& if receiving the masterpiece in the mail wasn't plenty good, Kristel sent me these darling pictures of Parker getting his paint on...
Cutest little Picasso I ever did see...

I was on speaker phone when he was telling Kristel & I what he was painting me. He kept telling me "see Lur-wah, see right here, i'm gonna paint you spid-uh-man!" Just precious!!

The Luckiest Art Owner & One of a Kind Parker Masterpiece!!!

****edit**** I came across this picture of Parker & I when he was a chunky monkey & just had to add it to this post...gosh how time flies!

May you all have that little buddy that melts your heart & makes you feel like a million and one... just when they say your name!!

XOXO,

Aunt Lur-wah Loo :)

Can you say TBD?

I think i've gotten a bad case of TBD (TOO BUSY DISORDER). I also have a feeling i'm not the only one...any other victims out there? Any suggestions?

I think John Lennon said it best when he said " Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."

This quote is so timeless and constantly at repeat in my mind. I have to remind myself to slow down & enjoy this crazy ride we call life. AND when I do take John's advice I come across some amazing things...

Like so...

Nicholas, whom you have seen before...had my whole family LOLing on Father's day...(http://anoziraphotography.blogspot.com/2009/01/spotlight-clients-meet-megan-nicholas.html)

He loves the camera, no shy bone in this heart melters body...just cuteness!

Haha, I love this next picture. My grandpa has a lot of furry friends in his neighborhood that come to visit him, look at those furry friends stare at the meat, so intense.

Oh Texas, You are so beautiful to me. Sunshine & nature, a touch of Heaven on earth...

May you all find remedies for TBD in the forms of sunshine, nature, camera loving children, & furry little friends!

XOXO,

Laura Loo

Sweet Saturday Memories....

Today, I did not clean my room, the dishes, do the laundry, or any of my apartment for that matter...but I did clean out some sweet memories from the holidays from my camera finally!!! I thought I would share a few of my favorite sweet moments with all of you....

This is one of my favorite pictures of some of my family & I ever! Can't you just hear the laughter? This was taken at my graduation celebration in January. How I miss my childhood memories of hide-and-go-seek, Go carts, and bar-b-ques with all of them!

Meet my sweet friend Kristen. Who also graduated in December! She is also a photographer. We had a fun January afternoon photographing each other for a spot in the SNYDER DAILY NEWS...look for us! These are our silly shots...we laughed so much & even contemplated about using these beauties for our articles!

Meet Fallon & Khloe! Fallon is Kristel's sweet baby girl! And Khloe is our dear friend Katie's precious bundle of joy. We did a mini-shoot of them at one of our girl's night outs over the holidays!

Khloe made me giggle because she kept trying to chow down on her tule on her tutu!

Aren't their little piggies the cutest?

I took a ride on the Polar Express with my family...I was a kid in a candy store!

My heart filled with joy all over again while looking at these pictures. Thanks for sharing some sweet moments with me again....May your holidays always warm your heart and be filled with giggles and dear loved ones! :)

A moment of Silence For...

The First Post of 2009...Whoohoo!

Now, to more serious things....or not so serious ;)

I, Laura, Would just like to take this time to bow my head for my old live journal & xanga blog! Yes, I have just put them to rest. I actually had forgotten about them until today, but this is how dedicated I am to the Anozira photography blog! It was quite hilarious though to go back & read some of my old posts! Things I thought were huge problems were not so much! I guess You can say I'm growing up! Well, folks do stick around. I shall post soon about Christmas break & all the fabulous things life has been bringing my way & my camera Nike's way! Kristel is about to start student teaching....I'm sure you will hear all about it! Stick around, 2009 has only begun!

I will now leave you with a few pictures I captured of baby Fallon over the break. She is such a doll I could hangout with her all day everyday!

If only I looked so cute when I was confused!

If Only I looked so cute when I was surprised!

She has already got mom's sassy attitude!

Oh baby Fallon you bring such joy to my life! :)

Your Auntie,

A Few Of Laura's Favorite Things!

Tis the Season! Christmas is by far my favoritest time of the year. The music, joy, love, decorations, family time, break, all of the above! As most of you know, this season will also be the time I graduate from college! Two days... so insane how fast this time came. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I am always ready for a new chapter in my life and challenge, but always sad about closing one to! Texas Woman's University has brought me new knowledge, friends, networking, and taught me so much about myself in the last few years. However, I won't cry because it's over, I'll smile because it happened...with a few tears in my eyes of course! :)

Now, I would like to share with you all a few of the things that make us photographers here at Anozira Photography smile and love what we do...

Meet Simba, he is hilarious. You say his name, he slants his head side ways in confusion of how the heck you know his name! :)

Meet 8 month Colton. This little boy has the sweetest spirit. He is a big teddy bear! While we were shooting he got tired of waiting on Santa...so he began to open the presents under the Christmas tree! :)

Meet Cooper, Colton's big brother! Cooper is a soon to be 3 year old that is 100% boy! Loves to run, laugh, but does not like to stay put in one place longer than 5.5 seconds! So cute!

Meet Nicholas. Nicholas, is one of those babies a photographer loves to shoot. He stares right into your camera and has the sweetest facials! Mom, needs to keep him close. Those adorable little lips & big brown eyes are going to have the ladies after him one day! :)

Friends, Family, readers, I hope you enjoyed the sweet photos. Have a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

Christmas Hugs,

Laura Loo
