Grand Prairie Photographer | {Brough family} together

I sat in the back of the teen room on a Wednesday night. Game time was over, the kids slowly filtering in, I watched as they took their seats.

There was one girl in particular, that caught my eye. I had known her for a long time...since before she had moved up to the teen class. Her thick, auburn hair was twisted down the side and bobby pinned up. She laughed and joked with her friends. And I thought of the time I took her pictures for her {thirteenth birthday} and then wondered if her and her mom ever had any pictures together. And then I wondered if her mom had ANY pictures with Lexi's sisters (there's three of them) or maybe her brothers (there's two of them). And then I wondered when the last time was that the Brough Family had any pictures...

Church was over and as I walked down the hall to pick up my children from the nursery, who should walk up and ask me if there was any time in 2012 for me to take their family pictures but Mrs. Brough. Sign? yes.
I ecstatically answered that I would MAKE time.

And we did.

The Tuesday after Thanksgiving, we met and magical things happened. Here's hoping that this massive blog post will inspire you and not tire you, for there are so many images that I simply cannot leave out.

We played and laughed until the Moon came out and told us to go home...
So happy for a time spent with friends.
Thanks for the memories, Brough family.

Burleson Portrait Photographer | {Henderson Family} together

Everyone in the gym was signing up for stuff. A little home decor here, a photo session there...Soon time was up and the silent auction was over.

"And the Adele Photography session goes to the HENDERSON FAMILY!"

I couldn't have been more excited. This was a new and fun family to photograph and I would be able to get to do just that!

Imagine my amazement when, on the way out to the field where we shot, the dad tells me that they have NEVER had their photo as a family ever taken! I about flipped. So cool.

We had such a great time trekking through fields of lavender and blueberries...wait, no. They were thorns. Thorns and burs, ya. Ya, that's it! It took about an hour to get them all off of us after we were done.

THAT'S HOW WE ROLL.

And I like it that way.

 Thanks for the memories, Henderson Fam!!
