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! ;)

Leidy - One Cute Pregnant Lady!

Maternity Session done this evening, came out beautifully! She rocked the parasol and the pinwheel!

Pomp and Circumstance (aka The Graduation Song!)

Did some graduation photos of Hailey, who came out VERY pretty in every one! Here is a preview of her "diploma worthy" photographs:

Sandoval Family Photos

Met the Sandoval Family today and took their family portraits at Orsinger Park in San Antonio. They're kids were professionally trained "posers" - they knew EXACTLY how to set up with out any help from me! Check out a few of their pictures below:

Gavin Family Clan - Regulars at Mustard Seed

Long time customers and great friends, the Gavin family, did such a good job today at Mission San Jose for their family portraits. It doesn't hurt that they all take direction so well.... even Mark. But I guess I can understand why in the moment, laying in a bed of clovers doesn't seem like such fun!! :)

I just LOVE people who are in love!

Enter Dave and Lindsey, just spilling over with gushy affection and act totally lovey-dovey... they're so cute!

William = Ham

This boy is so cute, and WAY photogenic! Just look at those eyes - totally draw you in!!
