Berlin, Tina, & Dorn... LOVE the red!

So last Saturday, I had a maternity shoot with Tina for their 2nd baby. Their first baby is Berlin and she is just... well, words can't describe HOW ADORABLE she is! She has the cutest red hair and these little bangs that float just right in front of her pretty little eyes. 

Needless to say, I got a tad obsessed with this shoot because the colors came out so VIVID mostly because of their hair color! :)

Tina - you are SOOOOOO pretty pregnant! 

Dorn - you're a lucky man!

And Berlin... get ready, because if this next baby is nearly as cute as you are, then you're going to have a LOT to contend with!

Here are a few of my favs. I have to say, there were too many to count, but I posted quite a few on the flickr page too:

Maria & Paul are MARRIED!

Had a great time at Maria and Paul's wedding this past Saturday! Here are a few of the shots from their wedding. They had it at Paloma Blanca in San Antonio - which has a special spot in my heart because my wedding reception was there too! They had lots of friends and family with them to celebrate their big day, and everyone was just so happy for them!!

The Purdy Family - They came out so "Pretty" in these pictures!

My jokes are getting lamer and lamer on this blog!! I need some creative help! Clearly, my skills extend ONLY to photography!! 

:)

Kayla and her beautiful family joined me at this missions this weekend for some rustic-looking photographs. They were wearing bright colors (which I just LOVE in photographs!) and their son was soooooooooooooooooooooooo (need i go on....) cute! He was such a ham - and he managed to keep this cool hat on when we needed it most! 

They did a great job, just see:

(no, you're eyes are not mistaking you... he is really that cute...LOVE this one!)

Lindsey... Could you BE any cuter pregnant?!

So was I the only really fat pregnant lady?! :)

Lindsey is so cute with a belly! And yes, her baby boy is rather comfy in her tummy but seriously - she has like 2 months to go! She wears it well and is was a good sport (like Jennifer!) and braved the weeds off of NW Military. We managed to trample some wildflowers in the process of making these photos where she looks incredibly photogenic, but it was all for the sake of art and really - those flowers are over growing anyway! 

:)

On to the previews!!

Criswell Family - Amazingly cute children!!! (Oh, and their parents aren't so bad either!)

What a wonderful Sunday I had today, I got to spend most of it with some cool folks and their ADORABLE children. Now, you know how cute I think my own child is... so throwing the term "adorable" loosely just isn't something I do! But these kids really deserve it because Aub is just so sweet and Coop is totally mature for a 5 year old! Here's a few pictures of the fun we had at Orsinger Park:

Another bundle of joy for Jennifer!

Jennifer is such a sport!

I dragged her out into the wilderness today, in the heat and with the sun beating down on her little prego body! But it was totally worth it! Despite the massive weeds we faced today, we got some pretty amazing pictures of her belly and her adorable family! Take a peek:

Anika turns 1!

Spent part of my day taking photos at a 1-Year Birthday Celebration for Ani! She's so sweet, and very photogenic - as you can tell below:

such a cute picture with her daddy!

Amanda and Ryan have TIED IT!

Amanda and Ryan are married and EVERYONE was so glad for them! Here's a few of the photos from their wedding, with only 4 hours of coverage we managed to take over 650 photos! These are just a teaser for the bride and groom! :) Congrats you guys and thanks for letting Mustard Seed Photography share in your special day!

lost kitty!!

So I know this has NOTHING to do with photography or any of my clients or sessions, but we just got home from vacation to find this sweet little lost kitten and she needs a good home! She's very cute, about 2-3 weeks old and would like someone to love her! We already have two in our house and as if it wasn't bad enough, or daughter tortures them as it is... typical 2 year old!

 If you or someone you know is interested, let me know by emailing me!

blakely+karlan = cute. as. a. button.

Another segment of my busy weekend was getting to spend my Sunday morning getting to know two silly, happy, and super funny love birds! (maybe funnier than me... can it be?!?!) Blakely and Karlan, recently engaged and soon to be married! This is the first of "future-Smith family" sessions. Next up? Bridal Session at the Antique Rose Emporium!! Then... the "BIG DAY" in June!! Can't wait, and I'm SUPER happy I got to know these two!

 I can only hope I captured their true "jokester" personalities on camera!

Way more pictures on flickr. Thanks guys, I had "uber-fun"... (which by the way, is a word I used for the first time during our photo shoot)... ah, there is a first time for everything!

Starr and Steven - GUSHING with love!

Congratulations to Starr and Steven, newly engaged and sooooooooo head over heals for each other! So, almost none of their photos were posed if you can believe it - they were just THIS ROMANTIC! They needed little to no direction, and were so good at showing their love to the camera! Take a peek:

their dogs were SOOOOOOO good, and super cute! look how professional i look in the reflection! :)




many more on flickr, and they're also on the website. thanks guys, you two inspired me to be more romantic with my hubby! ;)
