Bricen | Ft. Hood Newborn Photographer

The so called "ideal" age for shooting newborns is within the first 14 days of the precious little lives.  After this time the can get baby acne, colic, less sleepy, ect.  I say photograph babies of any age!  Why?  Because the are precious at an age and have something different to offer at every age!  Meet Bricen!  He was almost at the big 6-weeks-old mark here.  Sleeping was not an option as he was alert and awake the entire session, but why would I want to miss those big blue eyes?  And old enough to give me sweet baby boy smiles?  I love it!  

Bricen did a great job and I really enjoyed meeting his sweet mom!  We want to welcome dad home (although alittle late) from a year in Iraq and hopes he's loving his time with the family.  We meet many families with loved ones deployed or about to deploy and I really think pictures mean just a little something extra to our military families!  Scroll to the bottom of the post for a link to FREE military pictures!










Do you or someone you know need family pictures done and they happen to be military?  We have a great program that gives one family a month free pictures!  Follow this link.

If you're reading this post in January and have been thinking about booking a session with us, think quickly to obtain the current rates!  We will be announcing out new pricing soon!  Thanks!

Barnes Family | Copperas Cove Family Photographer

A few miles outside of Copperas Cove is a tiny little "town" called Topsey, Texas.  Most people know where I'm referring to when I say, "You know, where the exotic ranch is!"  Then I hear stories about the crazy monkey and intrusive ostiches that like to come into cars for food!  If you drive past all the exotic animals, you'll find our family farm.  We, all like 25 of us, all meet out there every Sunday for lunch and play.  This is the Barnes family, comprised of my cousin, her husband, and their two boys.  Yes, I take alot of pictures of my family.  They have supported me from the beginning and I love to do it for them!  They know I have crazy ideas all the time and have never discouraged me and I love them all for that.  Kristy let me do Mason's 2 year-old pictures last year (our kiddos are only week apart) and I am so lucky to get to do them again.  If you check out our Facebook page, you can see a progression picture form the session last year!

Wesley | Killeen Family Photographer

January has rolled around and it's time to catch up on blogging all the lovely sessions that never got blogged last year!  Not because we don't love them, just because we got insanely busy during the fall thanks to fabulous clients!  So with that, look for many posts coming during January that range all the way back from July!  We are working on being better bloggers :)

Meet Wesley.  He's grown so much since this session and I'm lucky enough to see his sweet face on occasion for play dates.  His mommy and I know each other from high school, taught Kindergarten together, and remain good friends!  This was Wesley 1-year-old session at his Nana's house.  One thing I love about this session is that it shows you really can be comfrotable in your own home for a session if driving to locations really isn't convenient or your thing.  A location is what you make of it and I love the images we got from Wesley!  Isn't he a cutie?  He is such a calm, easy going boy with a super sweet laugh.  He also joins my children in the "I love Crocs" club!  I'd like to send a special thank you to his Uncle Bo, as he is responsible for all the smiles received in these images!

Roozen Family | Killeen Family Photographer

We truly do get to meet some of the nicest families through photography!  I can't believe I haven't blogged about their session yet (at least I hope I haven't).  These lovely pictures belong to the Roozen family.  We met in Salado at the old schoolhouse and used the historical cabins next door.  We had a characteristic crazy hot Texas heat to deal with but the kids did wonderfully and staying in the shade helped!  

The Roozens are also one of our Military Appreciation Families that received free pictures as a thank you for military service.  This program has been very popular this year and we are already filling up for next year.  Next year will hold a few changes for the program.  We will only be accepting one family a month but will take families for a waiting list in case we have spots open.  Sessions will now be 30 minute minis with 10 images on a CD with print release.  Additional images will be available and will include a military discount.  Email normanphotography@ymail.com if you're interested in this program.

Shannon & Matt | Killeen Maternity Photographer

Meet Shannon & Matt!  Shannon was due the day before Thanksgiving and baby Hadley is being a tad bit stubborn making her debut!  We took these back in September and I am just super behind on blogging!  Anyway, this baby is the first for these two and I am super, super excited she is going to be on the pink team!  We have a ton of boys running around and I really needed all my kids' clothes to go somewhere :).  And I can't wait to do her newborn pictures!  Headbands, cute blankets, so excited!

For this maternity session, we went to one of our farms in Topsey where my grandfather grew up.  The house is barely standing but it's still special to us.  We went there all the time as kids to do your typical farm activities.  We've all baled our fair share of hay let me assure you!  I told you I have a ton of family here right?  I've also included a sample of the baby shower invitation we made for Shannon to show what cute, simple things you can use pictures from your session for!  So, until I have pics of Hadley to show, here is Shannon & Matt's maternity session...
