Sybil | 1 Year Old! | Diana, Texas | 9.17.18

Miss Sybil Faye, you are such a beautiful addition to the Childs family!  We love the way you were always watching what's going on around you the other night, especially big sis. You have some hilarious expressions - but nothing beats that sweet grin of yours!  Seems like just yesterday you were only a week old and Arden Rose was so proud to show you off to us! 😉

ONE YEAR looks good on you, Sybbie!

Introducing the great distraction: chickens... 

And evvvverybody loves a good "behind-the-scenes" shot... Doug is shuffling around behind the chickens, herding them back into the frame, while Kristal is making every noise and hand motion known to motherhood in efforts to snag a smile from the gal in the chair.  Sybbie's expression seems to say she understood the hilarity of the moment. 😁

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!!!

What do you reckon is happening here? 😂

Oh the places you will go, Sybbie!

Love,
Auntie Kay & Jill

Longview, Texas | Arden Rose's Puppy "Paw-ty" | 3.19.17

We are honored and excited to see our photos of Arden Rose's Puppy "Paw-ty" featured on Kara's Party Ideas!  Kristal's creativity practically sparkled in the delightful mix of puppies and sprinkles and bright colors.  The party was for a 3-year-old... but I know plenty of 23-year-olds (or 43-year-olds) who would jump at the chance to celebrate with such a shindig! 

Oh, as you scroll through the photos... take extra notice of the name tags adorning the stuffed pups.  You will be amused. 

If you're looking for an extraordinary kind of cake - talk to Jennifer over at Calavera Cakery.  Not only did she make Arden Rose's birthday cake taste delicious, but HELLO!  She made a sweet little Millie to sit at attention on top! 

AR's grandparents - Mr. Steve & Mrs. Deadre - have a backyard that can easily be described as an East Texas oasis.  Lush green grass and blooms everywhere ... it is a perfect place to party.  Also, Arden's super-cute party duds?  From the skirt to the bows - that's all Mrs. Deadre! 

Sprinkles and sugar and puppies, everywhere!  When Doug announced, "Who wants cake!?" ... a swarm of munchkins arrived at the table, enthralled with the cake-cutting process, anxiously awaiting a colorful slice for themselves. (Plenty of adults were lined up at the dessert table, too!)

 

We love you, Arden Rose!  Time spent with you (and now with Sybbie, too!) is always worth celebrating!

Auntie Kay & Jill 😘

Longview, Texas | Abby | 2.7.17

We will forever love the warm Texas days that pop up in the midst of what should be a cold season.  And we were thankful for just such a breezy day for Abby's mini session!  Couldn't ask for a sweeter gal to be in front of our cameras!
