ruby : {this girl makes my heart smile}

I married Kincaid in May at The Gage Hotel, which seems like months ago already.  Time definitely flies when you are having fun.  We stayed in a darling house just outside of The Gage Gardens where our reception was held.  It was literally a hop, skip and a jump away.  The next morning my family came over to help organize wedding things and load everything up for the long haul home.  While everyone was busy helping and organizing I got a little side tracked with Ruby.  I love jewels and lots of color, and so does Ruby!  I had no idea I was such a fan of pink?  Instead of putting all of the jewels up I played dress-up with Ruby.  I could not have asked for a better surprise of fun the day after our wedding.  She layered it all on with smiles and pranced around.  The shorts are mine also!  I wish I could jump through the screen and squeeze her.  She's a precious little jewel herself.  I hope this makes your heart smile this morning!  Kiss, Kiss Ruby :)  We miss you muchos!  

AND her artist stance.. 

kiss, kiss..

thomas : {baby session}

Do you see the tear below?!  SO precious.  The chubby little hands, the plump baby wrinkles and the baby expressions make my heart melt.  Last year I did Haylea and Beau's maternity session on the river and I have to say they made a perfect little man.  Thomas is handsome and he already has such a character about him.  I love this little stinker!

 

URTH STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY: Island Fever ♥ Port Aransas, Texas

I think it's safe to say that we all had a hefty case of island fever.  We all brought loads of clothes with us of course, so one afternoon when we were having a bit of down time we got all-dolled-up and did a mini-session together under the palapa.  We loaded on the jewels, painted on the lips, tossed up our hair and played dress-up.  How old did I just turn????!!  GIRLS will always be GIRLS!!!  I LOVE being a girl and everything that goes along with it.  I think Jen and Katy are so pretty and so great.  I look like a total doooooosh though.  We were dying laughing the whole time.  I know I'll regret posting this later today, so don't be surprised if I pull this post!!

URTH STUDIO PHOTOGRAPHY: WOODY'S ♥ Port Aransas, Texas

Port Aransas wouldn't be the same without Woody's.  Throughout the years of visiting Port A and keeping our boats docked there, Woody's has been the place to be.  Sure enough our boat ended up back at Woody's once  again this time around.  Dad gave me a list of names that I would run into and meet while staying on the boat.  After a day of lounging around the docks with all of the locals we became friends with just about everyone.  One of the days we came strolling back to the boat and the cute old man with the "old fart" cap was sitting in our palapa drinking himself a cold one.  Turns out he's an old timer from Port A that frequents the dock at Woody's.  He's a character.  My favorite gent of all is "squeaky" the cute little man who hangs around waiting for boats to cruise in full of fish to clean.  He's the one with the white rubber boots and crystal blue eyes.  Saturday some of our friends were entered in a tournament, so we bummed around the Back Porch and waited for the big weigh-in to take place.  Check out the champs below.  ;)
