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.

Some of the feet of our teens.

Peanut butter toast for my picky eater. C'mon, who doesn't like Chick Fil'A? 

A little quiet time for me, finally. 

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

2011-The Images

I had such so much fun at work this year.  From the weddings, to the babies, to the sweet families I got the chance to meet, every day was an incredible blessing to do what I love and it's all because of you.  I'm almost positive that 2012 will be just as fun, if not better!  Here are some of my favorite images from 2011!

If you aren't on my blog today, it doesn't mean that I don't cherish the images we captured together, only that I don't have nearly enough time to blog them all.  I look forward to this next year as we make new memories together!

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.

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- Fall Parties , Amy Horton Photography, Wylie Lifestyle Photographer

It's that time of year again.  Candy and little spooks invade our neighborhood.  To kick the season off, the girls had their fall parties at school.  I surprised them by showing up (with my camera of course!).  I love it when their little eyes light up when they realize I've come to hang out with them at school. :)

Double Take

These precious babies have been on my session list since before they were conceived.  I'm so lucky to have clients who think of me when planning their family . :)  I got to spend a few hours snuggling this sweet brother and sister.  Enjoy their cute squishiness.

Project 52- My other half, Amy Horton Photography, DFW Lifestyle Photography

13 years ago today, an outgoing boy asked me out on a date.  It was the first week of our first year of college and we have been together ever since. We were eighteen..  In 23 days, we celebrate 12 years of marriage.  We are partners in everything.  Parenting, ministry, life in general.  He still  makes me smile everyday. :)

So this week is about him.  He hates being in front of the camera so obviously he loves me very much to do this for me. 

 He's super Dad.

 He works hard all the time.  His work boots show lots of wear.

His ring has deformed his hand because he never takes it off.  Ever.

One Year

This sweet girl turned one this month and I was lucky enough to get to hang out with her for a little while (and her sweet sisters!) and get some cuteness in front of my camera. This family recently relocated to our area, and I am so excited to see what God is going to do with them in this next season of life!
