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,

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,

We Are Family!

So the weekend of Dylan & I's 4 year anniversary was also the anniversary of my grandparents...50 years to be exact! So, Dyl and I packed up and went down to good ole' snyder and celebrated with family the 50 years my grandparents have "put up" with eachother! haha! Just kidding...they love eachother and they have been through so much. I mean 7 kids ain't no easy task!...amen?

I always kid with them that they need to stop trying to beat eachother to heaven. Grandma has been through open heart surgery and many other hospital visits while Grandpa is currently going through Chemo, that praise the lord is going well!

I'm just glad we got to celebrate their love and show them how much they are loved and how they have held the family together for so many years! Here a few of my fav. pics I took from the family get together!

Enjoy...

Where there's a family gathering there is food...yummy food!

My sweet grandpa...My pretty grandma..The love birds...

Their entourage a.k.a kids & grandkids & greatgrands!

May you all have a family that laughs too loud, cries, takes pictures, and celebrates with you!

God is good...all the time!

XoXo,

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! :)

Spotlight Clients-Meet Megan & Nicholas

Well, Friday I shot my first photoshoot of the new year! It was the perfect day to shoot to! Who knew in winter you could come across a sunny 70 degree day in TEXAS? Haha! I am of course kidding! I love silly Texas winter weather, especially when I can spend it with lovely family like Megan & Nicholas! They are the sweetest, most down-to-earth, happy family! Megan is one of those relaxed clients that doesn't mind climbing a few rocks to get a great shot! And Nicholas, well, when you see his pictures you will know right away why I loved photographing him so much! What a heart melter! It all worked out great, I took the group photos first and then played with Nicholas & got some sweet shots while doing so! Then, he was pooped & took a nap while his mommy & I did her single shots! I laughed and had a blast on this photoshoot! Megan & Nicholas, thanks for an incredibly fun day & I hope to work with yall again! I am so blessed to be able to call yall family!

Now, here are a few of my favorites from the shoot:

Here is a new trick I learned this weekend that my camera can do...a photo overlay!

Nicholas kept laying his head on his mom's shoulder. It was one of those rare sweet moments I'm so happy I was able to capture!

He is so adorable! This is the one single shot I got him laughing & smiling at me at this particular site...you will see what caught his eyes in the picture below.

The rest of the time he was captivated by the rocks below him. One may or may have not found its way into his mouth ;)

Here is Momma Megan showing her pretty smile to the camera!

Thank goodness Megan has some mad rock climbing skills, otherwise this sweet shot wouldn't have been possible! Thanks Megan! :)

I love photography because of precious moments like this that I'm able to capture forever!

Everytime I see this picture I want to say..."eat your heart out ladies!" haha! What can I say, He is a cutie pie! :)

Love,

Laura Loo
