the michels

I was so excited to be asked to photograph the Michel family last week. Mrs. Michel was eager to have portraits of her sons, both in the military, before one heads off to a new station, and the other heads overseas. What an honor it was to photograph these two young men who proudly wear their uniforms and serve our country! They follow in the footsteps of their father, who is a retired service member.

We enjoyed wandering around some of the older sections of Fort Sam Houston, a BE-U-TI-FUL army post. There is so much history here! It was a lot of fun!

the allens

As per my post featuring sweet baby J, I am following up with some images of the whole family! We had so much fun playing at the park! A nice park is really the perfect place to do a family shoot because it offers great opportunities for the kids to play, and for me to capture them wearing their most natural expressions, which usually scream FUUUUNNNN!!!!

It was hard for me to choose which images to post because there are so many that I love, but I forced myself to narrow it down to some of my top favorites. This family is so photogenic!

sweet baby j.

I had the pleasure of visiting with one of my best friends a couple of weeks ago, and OF COURSE we did some family photos! We started with the newest addition to the family, three-month old Baby J. He is such a sweet boy…. very laid back, he takes it all in stride. I have a feeling that with two older sisters, that laid back attitude might just come in handy!!

It’s late and I should have been in bed long ago, so here are just a few…. check back soon for more of the whole family!!

Light The Night in Fort Worth

I wanted to give everyone an update on the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Light the Night Walk that I participated in this past weekend. I was able to raise over $900, which was almost DOUBLE my goal!!! Thank you so very much to each person who donated. Words cannot tell you how thankful I am for your generosity.

My good friend Sarah, and her adorable son, joined my husband and I as we walked through downtown Fort Worth. We had such a great time together! I do think this will have to become an annual Swan Family (and friends!) activity. :)

I’ve posted a few images below, taken with my point & shoot!
