Mickey’s mom has a large print of his sister when she was younger, and wanted to have one of Mickey to match, so we journeyed down to the Arboretum to take some pictures. His sister Gracie got in for a few shots too. These kids are just adorable – super sweet and friendly, and very excited to take photos. We had a lot of fun!

This one probably won’t make the big wall portrait, but I thought it was a cute picture of him playing around:

This one makes me laugh – you can just tell he’s thinking “Come on; no pictures now – I just want to throw rocks!”

The big reward for taking pictures was getting to visit the pumpkin patch and house at the end:

And this last one was Mickey’s suggestion; he wanted me to take a picture of this thing, and I thought it turned out pretty well! Good eye, Mickey!

It was time for the annual photos with the Champions! This year we headed to downtown Grapevine to use the awesomeness that is their downtown area. The Champions all have fabulous personalities and are so much fun to take pictures of!

The Binkleys wanted some family pictures made so we all braved the heat and headed down to Addison Circle for some picture fun. Here are a few quick ones from the session!

And one of the whole group!

We met Ricky’s sister, BJ, last summer at Nikkie & Daniel’s wedding, where she was the videographer. (We always recommend her when anyone is looking for a videographer, because she’s great!) So we were excited when she contacted us to take pictures of her brother, Ricky. We went to the train station in historic downtown Grapevine, which is an awesome and very fun location. Ricky was really more interested in climbing on trains and throwing rocks than having his picture taken (as any kid would be), but he was very patient with our cameras and bad jokes!
