10 on 10-January Edition

I have joined with 9 other photographers to capture 10 photos on the 10th of each month.  It is so challenging!

Once again, I am in awe of just how hard it is to take time to shoot for me.  This project is all about capturing what life is like, and so this month I chose the last half of my day on a Wednesday.  My husband is a youth pastor, so I play the role of helper, and wannabe teenager several times a week.  Wednesday is one of the most crazy days of the week for us.  Here's what it looks like.

Here is Princess, seated as my co-pilot on our way to pick up my girls from school! She loves it.

Checking the horizon for signs of them.

They always rush in the door, glad to be home.

And promptly drop their things in the middle of the floor and leave them there.

My oldest arrives a little later. 

Yum, our Wednesday night dinner.

Did I mention I get to be a part of an amazing teen worship team?  Love my time with them.

A little quiet time for me, finally. 

Now head over to Carey and see what she has cooked up for this month.

Project 52-Amy Horton Photography-DFW Lifestyle Photography

It's a late evening post, because it has been so crazy busy around here lately that I've barely had time to breathe, much less put this together.  This week's post is important, so I wanted to make sure I got it in there. 

These girls are my life, and although as a group, they usually run from me when they see me pull my camera out, this week, they huddled together in very cold temperatures to take photos.  It was a momentous occaision. 

I love these kids.

This family moved to Texas last spring.  They are so fun, and have one of the best family dynamics that I have ever seen.  They are such a blessing to know. :)  Here is their session share.

My munchkin.  She's famous on this blog by now.  What you may not know about her, is that her life started with a scary week or two for us.  She stayed in the NICU for a week before we could bring her home.  Her lungs just weren't ready, though she was only 5 days early.  I'm thankful that each day, we get to experience life with her (she fills our house with laughter and chaos) and we wouldn't have it any other way.

Such a sweet moment! Amy Horton Photography

I'm loving all my fall sessions!  I caught this sweet moment late last week!  Stay tuned for some seriously cute updates on the blog!

Project 52-Week 46. Amy Horton Photography-DFW Lifestyle Photographer

I cannot believe that I have kept up with something for 46 weeks.  This is huge for me!  I love the challenge of finding a new way to express myself every week.

This week, it was just a spur of the moment image that took place while I was playing around with my camera and my sweet baby T. 

Natalie- A Bridal Share.-Amy Horton Photography, McKinney Wedding Photographer

As a photographer, a bridal session is one of the most exciting,  yet frustrating things to shoot.  You have these great photos that you can't wait to share with everyone, yet you have to wait until after the wedding until you can show them off.  It's especially frustrating when you have a subject that was at ease in front of the camera as this one.  Natalie was so much fun to work with, and her big day was so beautiful!  Her wedding share will be up soon, so keep an eye out!

10 on 10 Project-November Edition- (All About Kisses)

I enjoy this project more every month.  It forces me to slow down and think about what's important enough to capture.  10 photos on the 10th of every month!

I kiss my kids constantly.  Sometimes, yes I admit it, they run from me when they see me pucker up.  I just can't help it.  In a few years, I won't be able to catch them.  While I'm still pretty fast I get all the kisses I can. I try never to miss an opportunity for a hug either.  This month for my ten on ten,  I focused  on a few kisses that you might see around our house. 

Some kisses, you just don't want to see...

Some kisses are unwanted advances...

There are butterfly kisses..

Suprise kisses...

Funny raspberry kisses...

Motherly kisses

Comforting kisses

Kisses filled with laughter

Goodnight kisses

Kisses that haven't happened yet.  She was waiting on her goodnight kiss. 


You don't want to miss the rest of this circle.  Go and check out Carey Pace and see what she's got going on for her 10 on 10  this month!

Project 52-Vacation! Amy Horton Photography, DFW Lifestyle Photographer

I went on a beautiful vacation (you have to say it with a whisper, if you want to get the feel of how it actually was, it was delightful!) with my sister and my mother a week and a half ago. We made port at Cozumel in the middle of the week, and while my mom was getting her massage on the beach, my sister and I decided to frolic around and get some fun shots.  Enjoy!

Angela and Al- A Wedding Share. Amy Horton Photography, DFW Wedding Photographer

I have been so blessed to be a part of the days leading up to this wedding.  I can't say enough nice things about this couple and their families.  They made me feel like I was just a part of their family during the celebration and it made my job so very easy.  Everything about their wedding was gorgeous, from the bridal party, to the little details of their day.  Here is their Wedding Day Share!  Enjoy!
