Bells to Babies

My last post came just after the Dupre wedding.  Today I write after Kristina and Darrel's engagement session at Perdenales State Park and photos of Madelyn Enriquez, the first born of Ron and Risa.

Yesterday was Pedernales.  I met Kristina and Darrel bright and early at 7:30 in the morning and we headed to the park.  They were kind enough not only to offer to drive but, to buy me lunch too!  They realized that a drive and somewhat of a hike in the park was not quite the normal photo session.  Their offer was very much appreciated.

We made it out to the site around 8:30 and walked down to the rock shelf where the falls were.  Already the sun was high and in this part of the park there be no shade.  We took a handful of photos with water cascading down the rocks as the backdrop and then headed hiked back to the car.  From there we went to the beach/swimming area.  It is a really pretty part of the river with calm, green water and cypress trees reaching over the water from both sides.  It was a a tad longer of a walk with a few more stairs than I had remembered.  Never the less we got there.  The day was a bit later and the temperature had already gotten higher.  The water and cypress trees made for a beautiful natural setting.  After some shots and a hike back to the car we left the park and headed for lunch.

We set our heading for the Nutty Brown cafe on W 290.  It was a welcomed chance to sit, cool and refuel (the humans needed fuel).  After a good lunch and great conversation it was back in the car to drop me off and wind up the day.  We had a really good time.

Thank you KO and Bone for a fun morning and into the afternoon.

So today was baby Madelyn.  At only 3 weeks old she is a cutie.  Ron and Risa had a few different looks and wardrobes in mind for her. With only a few breaks Madelyn was such a trooper.  She did so well!  There are some adorable shots that I hope the family has a really hard time choosing from.  If that is the case, it just means I did a good job!

Congratulations guys on a beautiful baby!

So, all for now.

God Bless,
-Ryan
