If those aren't Texas names, I don't know what Texas names are. I've known Tomi for a few years now, and honestly, I can't even really remember how we met. That doesn't really matter, because I feel like I've known her my whole life. Tomi's one of those girls you just trust. You can tell her secrets and she'll keep 'em. You can lean on her when ya need a good cry. She's one heck of a cheerleader, and a snazzy dresser to boot. On top of that (much like a maraschino cherry), she's one of the most loving moms around...and YOU KNOW I don't just hand that award out to any ol' hussy.
There really needs to be a sitcom about this family. I could go on and on and on describing their connections and hilarious interactions, but I'll let the images speak from here on out...I love the Cheeks family!
Okay, this is just about the best family ever!!! How God shines through them all in every way. Fun, happy, beautiful and blessed. I want copies of all the picture. My family rocks!!!!
(09.23.11 @ 09:46 AM)Maverick holding the dog is awesome and Sweet little Sterling looks so cute. I can't believe you guys got in the pool with your clothes on! Now that's a special kind of picture taking dedication. I can just imagine how the conversation went when you told Randy he was getting in the pool. Ha Love the pictures!

(09.22.11 @ 10:34 PM)I'm so excited to show you these images. Little Benjamin, aka "Benny", is the newborn son of Bethany and Matt...two of my brother's best friends. We all come from the same hometown (Brenham, represent!), but now all live in the Dallas area. Though they are several years younger, I vividly remember these two kids growing up. Bethany was always very cool and stylish, without even trying. She was that girl who could fall out of bed and look like a supermodel. Plus, everyone knew she was smart. I thought she was purdy awesome. For realz. Sweet, forever cheerful Matt went to our church, and was likely at least partly responsible for my love of classic rock. Seriously. I didn't even know if Led Zeppelin was a type of pencil or the name of a video game before I met his brother and him. And now...these two have their own baby.
In all honesty, I was a bit skeptical of how they would be as parents. I suppose I was still envisioning them as 15 year olds, and when I arrived at their fabulously decorated home, I had a hard time believing that it belonged to them. Then, I noticed how well they were doing with Benny, and how freaking organized everything was. These kids have TOTALLY grown up. And now, I feel old. Sad face. But HAPPY FACE, because I am just in love with this session, complete with Ramona, one of the coolest dogs in the world. Have a little look-see.
Don't you dare forget to leave these peeps a comment! I'm feelin' feisty and I might hunt ya down. Show some love, already!
Thank you so much Kate! We couldn't have imagined these turning out any better, and we will cherish them forever! I am so thankful that you captured this stage of Benny's life so perfectly; he changes every day and is already so different...
(09.13.11 @ 03:59 PM)This baby is too perfect! Like the "life-like" porcelain dolls I always wanted to order out of my grandma's Family Circle magazines. Can't believe they got a real one of their very own!
(09.06.11 @ 05:19 PM)This family is just too precious! Kate, you rock!
(09.03.11 @ 03:59 PM)Phenom Pics, Kate! Love seeing Bethany and Matt all grown up with Beautiful Baby Benny!!!
(09.03.11 @ 09:30 AM)Kate!!! Love these pics!!! Absolutely precious!!! That Benny is a handsome boy. My fav is the one with Ramona and Benny on the changing table. You capture everything about a family beautifully!!!
(09.02.11 @ 03:23 PM)I'm so proud of these images, and must give credit to Kristin for allowing me to do whatever I see fit. I adore her for it! Now, here's precious Baby Alexa!
Please leave these little ladies a comment below!

(08.30.11 @ 09:21 AM)Sweet Caroline is one of the funniest, sunniest babies I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Her bright blue eyes light up a room, and her many, many expressions tell me that she is going to be full of personality! She's a bit bohemian in nature, as she prefers to be OUT of her cute little outfits and matching headbands, but I'll take her either way. So will her big brother, Collin. My favorite images from this set are the ones of the two of them. I can already see that he is going to be there for her through thick and thin, and he's going to teach her the ways of the world like no one else could even imagine. Their bond is inspiring, and I hope I get to stick around and photograph them as they grow old together.
Miss Caroline, you are every bit a doll, and I am honored to have taken your picture. Mwah!
These are AMAZING! What beautiful little kids! Love love love it Kate!
(08.29.11 @ 10:22 AM)Thank you for sharing these fantastic pictures Kimberly! I love them all, but if I had to pick my favorite, I'd have to agree with Kate-the one's with Collin are my favorite. You have to do something special with the one with their feet-you'll look back and be amazed at how little Caroline's squishy little feet were!
Kate, you did an amazing job. Bless you for capturing these special times for the Richardsons, and keeping Carson right where he should be-in the middle of his FAMILY!

Thanks for sharing Kimberly! I agree with Kate, they are all magnificant , but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be the one's with Collin. You have to keep the one with the feet-you'll look back at that one day and see how amazingly little those squishy feet were!!
