Baby A : Houston Newborn Photographer, Michele Jones

Welcome to the world baby A! What's cookin' in Houston, Texas?  Just a few days old and already enjoying a good pot of lentils ;)  What fun it is to get to be so creative for a living! A's mom and dad and I had a blast coming up with fun ideas for their shoot, which ranged from cooking, to reading, to the frog prince and dad's kilt! Oh the stories I could tell...But I'll just let these precious pictures speak for themselves! ;)  XOXOX, Mj~

Happy Birthday Kora the Explorer ;)

Happy Birthday to Kora who turns 2 this week :) We recently held a fun spring session here in Tyler where mom and I let Kora do the exploring and just followed her about on her adventures - stopping now and then only to freshen up her petticoat diva fashionista style and then it was off to chase squirrels or pick some more flowers!  It was great seeing the two of you again! Hope you have a wonderful birthday!!! XO, Mj~

Rachel and the Fam

So good to see the Manker family again! Denise, Ted and Rachel are one of my favorite families :)  This was my third session with them over the last two years and we met and held our session at the Athens Arboretum. Some of you may remember Rachel as the rolly polly blue-eyed doll baby featured on my website (see below) and my how she's grown! Enjoy the sneak peeks and I look forward to seeing you all again in the future! XO, Mj~

The Green Family

I recently had the privilege of spending another afternoon with the Green's - this time to shoot the whole fam.   Started right out in front of their beautiful new home before we danced, blew bubbles, and played guitar. A well rounded and fun shoot! Thanks Marcey and Scott for having me over again. Congrats again on your new house. Enjoy your images! XO, Mj~
