My sweet little nephew, Nash, turned the big ONE earlier this month. I was so glad he came to Houston to visit me! Every child needs 1st year portraits and I feel so blessed that I’m able to give my family the gift of photography. I cant think of anything more endearing and sentimental than...
I’m just going to flat out say it….this child is absolutely beautiful! Violet’s sitting milestone session was perfect! I will let the pictures do the talking….. (Oh, & in case you want to know where these gorgeous outfits/bows/backdrops came from, I’ve linked them at the very bottom.) Am I right or am I right?! There...
I’m cleaning out my hard drives and have come across so many sessions I haven’t blogged. This is one of my favorites and I have no idea how it slipped through the cracks. I photographed Kennedy as a newborn. She was 9 days new and so darn squishy. Click here to see her newborn session....
I cannot believe little Abba is one! I photographed her as a newborn, again at 6 months and now……she’s smashing cake! Happy first birthday Abigail!! I had SUCH a good time with you, Abba. Hope to see you soon. Houston Area Newborn and Child Photographer Vendor Spotlight: blue flower headband by: Sara Grace Accessories all other...
My sweet little nephew is visiting this week. Meet Calvin Wallace. If you are friends with me or follow Lorena Jean Photography on Facebook, you surely know him. 4 months (actually almost 5 months ago) I photographed him as a teeny tiny newborn. Where does the time go?! Anyways, I never blogged them! WHATS WRONG...
My favorite Christmas tradition is opening up one gift on Christmas Eve…the hardest part is picking out which one. In my experience, go for the smallest box;)
My husband picked number 1, and thats you! Congrats. See you early December!
My absolute favorite Christmas Tradition is making my Great Grandmother’s chocolate gravy. She will be 95 in February 2015 and has made this deliciousness since my Gramps (her son, My Grandpa) was a boy. It is great with her from scratch buttermilk biscuits. I have learned to make and my husband loves it! I hope that it continues being made for traditions – it has already gone thru 5 generations.
Chocolate gravy? Is it sweet? That sounds interesting.
Lorena – it is sweet but not too sweet.
Every year, i pack all the holiday cards we received in an envelope and place it in one of the storage bins with all the Christmas decorations. That way, I get to re-discover them the year after that as I decorate my Christmas tree. So sweet to see how everyone has changed from one year to the next! 🙂
My favorite tradition is making and eating bunuelos. They’re easy enough but time in the kitchen with mom and sisters, the smell of cinnamon and sugar, hot chocolate. Yum!
My favorite Christmas tradition (although I guess it’s only partially mine) is waiting for my dad to open his gifts. Ever since we were little, he always spent all of his time on Christmas morning helping us open/put together/find batteries for our gifts. So after we were all finished, he would still have a pile. Even though we are all grown now and he is now a grandpa (!), he still hoards his gifts in a pile in the corner and opens them last.
My favorite tradition is the white elephant gift exchange with my inlaws! The gifts get more and more outrageous as the years go on and some gifts make yearly comebacks!
Hey Lorena, can I participate even if André is not 5 months old just yet? I wanted to share our Christmas tradition
We love to get our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. When the eggnog finally hits the shelves it makes it into my fridge immediately! Oh, and mimosas Christmas morning:)
