Cowtown Camera Girl Photography blog bio picture

Hello!

Welcome to my Cowtown Camera Girl blog!   

I love what I do!  I love photography because pictures are magical.  They take you back in a way that nothing else can.  A photograph is moving, emotional, and special.  It captures a memory and connects you to a time and place long since past but never forgotten. 

Every session is unique because every person, every family, every couple, every baby, and every mother-to-be is unique.  Sessions are relaxed, spontaneous, and fun.

I hope the pictures on this blog bring a smile to your face.  They definitely do to mine.  Be sure to check back often for updates and use the links at the top to view archives and my main website.  

Thank you for stopping by!

My Life : Ezra & Mimi

So many things I love in these….  

This was back in November when Ezra had just started wearing “big boy” underwear.   If you look closely you can still see his diaper underneath.  That’s the way he wanted to wear them that night.   If I had video footage you would hear Ezra singing “Rock-A-Bye Mimi” part of the time she was reading the book.   He would stop every now and then to listen to the story.  The book is titled No David.  It’s one of our favorites.   It hits home in a big way.  Ezra was wearing his cousin Benny’s soccer socks.  Benny is three years older than Ezra and the socks are super big on him.   The wooden spoon.   I had just found it in Ezra’s closet.  No telling how long it had been there.   He loves to play with those things.  The Little People Bus.   That bus has been around for a couple years now and it never gets old.  And of course Ezra hiding in the curtains.   He still loves a good game of Peek-A-Boo every now and then.

The Walker Family

My sister and her family have this amazing little house on top of mountain in Glenrose.   They built it themselves.   Yes, that’s what I said…..THEY built it.  Amazing, right!  The house is incredible, the view is breathtaking, and you can’t help but relax when you visit.    I spent the night with them after a shooting a wedding last month and we spent some time shooting with their family the next morning.  I got to see some of their land that I’ve never been to before and of course I love to hang out with my niece and nephew.   Thank you Francie, Eric, Addison, & Preston.  As always, I love spending time at your retreat in Glenrose!

Baby Brendan : 4 months

Brendan is such a sweet baby and I am so excited to be photographing him throughout his first year.  He was ready to shine at his four month session and he did absolutely perfect.  Isn’t he gorgeous?  Thank you Lauren & Daniel!

My Life : Hello 2010!

A new year.  A fresh start.  I AM EXCITED!    I’ve spent the past couple of weeks getting organized, catching up on family pictures, wrapping up a wedding, and learning some new editing techniques.   So now it’s a new year and I am ready to go!    I’ve got lots of fun things planned for Cowtown Camera Girl Photography this year.   First up is a new category I’m calling My Life.   From time to time you’ll see posts of me and my family and some of the crazy things we’ve got going on.  And first up is the one and only Ezra James of course, sporting the hat that his wonderful Mimi made for him last week   She so generously knitted this for Ezra James who will NEVER wear a hat.   But wait….he’ll wear this one for Mimi since it “makes Mimi happy.”   We have to say that every time but it works.   Whatever it takes with a two year old, right?   Thank you Mimi!

2009

Here’s a peek at our holiday card this year.  I think it’s the perfect blog post for the last day of 2009.   It was very difficult for me to decide which pictures to include on this.  I started out with 33 pictures and finally narrowed it down to 12.  Again, very hard to do!   It’s a pretty accurate look at the life of our two year old this past year.    The biggest thing that stands out to me is how much he’s changed in such a short time.   The shot of him sitting at the table drawing with Kermit was last January and the shot of him sitting in the red wagon was shot in October.   Ten months apart and such big differences that I see.     Thank you all for an amazing 2009!    I’m going to take a couple weeks off but will be back towards the end of January with some new and exciting stuff!   Valdez holiday 2009
