Adams ~ Williams Family | Kilgore, Henderson Family Photography

This session from the Fall was just so much fun for me!  Besides getting to photograph these great looking people, it also meant getting to see faces I had not seen in YEARS.  When my very best friend from childhood contacted me about an extended family session I did a little happy dance.

Their house was my second home.  I even had a cup with my nickname on it: Lori Bigori.  There was always laughter, fun, sleepovers, chips and salsa, soccer practice, fort building, dance choreographing and everything a childhood friendship should have!  When we had to move the summer before 6th grade my heart broke into tiny pieces.

It was so great to see all of these faces - and all these children!  What a beautiful family to be a part of!  Thank you Jaimee for letting me capture these images for you all!

 

Things I Love

I think it's time for another edition of "Things I Love" around here.  When I find something I really love I just want to buy a dozen and give them away as presents!  And I love hearing from others about their great finds, whether it's a product or service that makes life easier, or just adds a little happiness to your day!

1. Heartworks by Lori ~ custom photo jewelry.  This is without a doubt one of my favorite finds.  I just love the vintage feel to these pieces!  I was specifically searching for a locket large enough to accommodate photos of all of my kiddos. (Can you believe I have 6 kids and step-kids?  No?  Me either.)   I chose the butterfly design, but I just adore the hot air balloon design too!

2.  Chai Tea Latte.  Yumminess in a mug!  It's like the holidays and a warm blanket got married and had a baby.  You can order them at any coffee shop, and I make them all the time with my Keurig machine in the studio! 

3.  Too Faced Eye Shadow.  I can't tell you how many times I have walked into Ulta, looked around like I knew what the heck I was doing, and then walked out overwhelmed and confused!  I just never had that gift that many women have for makeup and hair and products!  Enter Too Faced Eye Shadow kits.  Ladies.  They come with little cards that tell you what to do.  Easy.  I can follow directions - and I don't look like a clown!  I got the kit shown below in Natural Eye.

4.  Skinny Chicken Pad Thai Recipe.  We love chicken pad thai at our house.  One of our favorite restaraunts in Longview - Little Thai House, serves it up right.  But I was wanting an at home option that was also healthy.  Well this is it people!  So good - and good for you!
