bethany & lauren : celebration

Happy Labor Day, everyone! When this post goes live, I’ll still be sawing logs in bed… probably with both kids, as well as Mack. Ah, the joys of scheduling posts!
But for those of you who might not be so lucky as to have today off (to go swimming and eat tacos, like we...

the underwoods : family

I’ve said it before, and I’ll keep saying it every time someone gives me a chance… the Underwoods are some of our favorite people. Ever. And as a bonus, they’re great for business. We can trace nearly a dozen weddings we’ve booked back to them somehow.
So while we were out at their place...

burns family : celebration!

It’s one of my favorite things in the world when clients come back for more McGowan Images lovin’. I took the Burns’ family pictures this time last year, when baby Ely was brand spankin’ new, and was so excited that Marybeth wanted to do it again this year.
Even more exciting, at the end of this...

danielle & co. : celebration

Danielle works with Mack, and was super excited to schedule a mini-session with me when her dad and siblings came to visit her. We also got lucky with the weather on the morning of our shoot… it had just rained, and was only 75 degrees outside! I could definitely get used to that.
Here are a...

Blogstalkers, meet my cousins Melissa (left) and Brittany.
Mack and I shot this very special Mom&Daughter session early in the week, and had such a lovely time. I’ve been looking forward to hanging out with these ladies for a few months now!
Before I show you the rest of the pictures, I’m going to tell you a...

alyssa & bella : celebration

Alyssa & her sweet daughter Bella came highly recommended to me. Between that and Alyssa’s clear vision of the portraits she wanted, I knew we were going to be a good fit! We hooked up early one morning to drive out to one of my favorite locations for some organic “Mommy & Me” pictures. I...

davis & co. : family session

Technically, this is the Davis-Bottelberghe-Medford-Macha family session. But that’s a bit wordy for the blog title, don’t you think?
I’ve known this family for nearly 15 years, and love them dearly. The girls are such precious friends, and their mama, Lesa, is very dear to me as well. So I was absolutely thrilled to be able...

amy, jay & cannon : family mini-session

It makes me feel WAY old to say this, but I’ve known Amy for 15 years. We lost contact quite some time ago, but I was still super stoked when she called me about portraits of her sweet family!
Amy, Jay, and 2-year-old Cannon scheduled their morning mini-session with me while they were in town visiting...

last minute family session — The Burton’s

When we started planning Kevin & Audrae’s family session, it wasn’t going to be last minute. But Texas weather had other plans, and these photos have been delayed more than the health care bill! (Ba-dum-CHING!)
Yesterday morning was perfect, though… a little too perfect. Is it really Christmas week, with all these 70 degree days? Oh...

Another frosty family session — the Underwoods & Hyatts

This family session is one of the easiest I’ve ever worked on, both the actual shooting, and the editing. And considering all the obstacles that got thrown up in our way, I’m even MORE proud of how the images turned out!
Sam & Lynsi first contacted me about family portraits last June, after I photographed their...
