A Saturday Morning With the Martins
There was nothing "mini"-ish about this mini session! Big family. Big personalities. Big smiles. Big hearts. What a wonderful way to spend a morning at work!
Hello, Winter! ... or not?
Some of my earliest childhood memories are those of winter time in Sarajevo. I remember white powder covering the city's autumn colors overnight, nutty scent of roasted chestnuts wafting from the street vendors on every corner and curling up under a blanket with a hot cup of tea.
In my 16 years of living in Texas, some winters have been more "wintery" than others. Judging by the balmy 70 degree weather the last few days, we may need to work extra hard to get into the holiday spirit this year! Tomorrow I may go shopping for chestnuts. Today, we start with cozy, fluffy things.
A Mini-Session at Oliver Park
For a minute there we considered rescheduling... and then decided to go for it, be it what it will! Lucky for us, the rain that had poured non stop all through the night, eased up a bit just as we met up for this photoshoot last Sunday morning.
What a fun mini-session with this STYLISH family! Monica, Manny, and their sweet boys were sooo easy to work with! Here's a little sneak peek:
The photos were taken at the Oliver Nature Park in Mansfield. I've never been there before, and I fell in love with it! Note to self: go back and explore it some more with my camera very soon! Anyone wants to come along?!
It's Time for Holiday Mini-Sessions!!
I am excited to offer the 2015 Holiday Mini Sessions - the perfect way to refresh your family photo collection! Contact Vedrana to book your session.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Six years ago I became an American citizen. My friends thought it was only fitting that I treat my family to an all-American Thanksgiving feast at my house, and they gave me a list of must-have dishes to prepare. Needless to say, I cooked for 48 hours straight, made ten times more food than we could ever consume, and was too exhausted to fully enjoy the dinner and the company by the evening time. Six years later, we're still going strong with our Thanksgiving dinners, but we also became good at the divide-and-conquer approach. So, these days, Thanksgiving is the day when I make a point of of keeping my inner perfectionist tucked away, and just... relax!
By now, the number of American citizens in the family at the table has gone up, and we have also added two high chairs to the side of the dinner table.
This year, more than anything, I am grateful for high chairs.

Ava Jean
Ava Jean. With a name like that, you can't help but imagine how cool this little girl will be when she grows up! I'm thinking - a scientist who rides her Vespa to work every day, and plays in a rock band on the weekends.
This little ball of squishy softness and her super awesome parents were an absolute joy to photograph!
Fun in Frisco
Meet Oliver. The coolest little guy you'll ever meet!
Oliver's Mommy is a dear friend of mine, and she had him about a month before I had Olivia (no name coordinating happened there, pinky promise!). It's been such a blessing going through the same pregnancy and baby phases with Gaby. What that really means is - we talk about nothing but babies every time we get together. Mom problems.
Here's a sneak peak from our fun late summer photoshoot at the Frisco's Central Park.
Ahh.. what a beautiful family!
Baby O Turns ONE!
So, it's been a BUSY couple of weeks, and Olivia's one year photos have to wait until I come up for air. In the meantime, we made a short drive to a patch of grass in Southlake just before dinner, and took a few photos to remember this special day.
Don't mind the blur in the family photo! We were losing the light, and she was getting antsy, so I pressed the button and hoped for the best! This is one of those where the memory counts more than technicalities :)
This little ball of energy is full of spunk and giggles! There's never a dull moment around her.
Oh, sweet baby! Please don't grow too fast! Just give me a minute to soak this in!
