Palma family photo shoot – League City, Texas
Since I’m catching up on old blog posts, here’s a session from this summer:
I’ve known Nancy for about a 4 years now, and with both girls away at college, we had to wait until summer to find a weekend where both girls were back at home.
Every girl needs a goofy dad…
Yes, even if they’re this goofy.
Feets! :p
Kadie shows them how it’s done…
… and now we’ve got everyone jumping!
This is probably one of my favorites of the family. I love it!
Nancy and Phil on a stroll
Back at the house we had to include the dogs because, after all, they’re family too!
All the girls!
Nancy and Phil had this home built less then a year ago. I love the porches! It’s an awesome home!
Before we left, we got a couple shots of Alex on the piano (she’s quite good!) And because I love details… 
For my Grandma
Early this morning, my Grandmother, Ruth Vollman, passed away closing the book on the oldest generation of the Vollman family. She was 92 years old.
(added 11/10:) I was going to make this post short, but I lied awake last night thinking about her, and although my memories are just a fragment of her long life, I wanted to share.
I remember how she introduced me to the gooey goodness that is Cadbury Creme Eggs, which my mom told me I wouldn’t like….
I remember picking my Grandma up on Sundays on the way to church Downtown. On the way there, she’d complain. On the way back, she’d tell us how much she enjoyed us picking her up.
I remember my Grandma holding up a pack of her cigarettes and telling me, “Don’t ever do these” as she lit the one pursed between her lips.
I remember the stormy night my sister was born. My parents dropped me off at Grandma’s house and we stayed up late together in anticipation of the good news.
I remember the day my Grandma collapsed in the Wyatt’s Cafeteria and was rushed to the hospital. They discovered she had an aneurysm, but she beat the odds and survived. She was one tough cookie. When she got out, she’d forgotten that she’d ever smoked.
I remember how each Christmas and Thanksgiving she would say, “Y’all better be nice to me. This may be my last Christmas!” She said that each time we got together for the last 10 years.
We’ll miss you this Thanksgiving and Christmas, Grandma. We’ll miss you telling us its time to take you home. We’ll miss you.
When are you available?
That’s the most common question I’m receiving as this year wraps up. And the answer? Not much. 
Here is a listing of my available weekend dates for the remainder of the year for family, kids, and engagement session photographs. I will try to keep this updated as the dates fill.
