We are Erik and Jennifer Lankford...married for 11 years! We are the proud parents of Isaac Joseph who was born June 15, 2007 and Hadleigh Jane who was born July 15, 2007. They were placed in our home when they were 10 days old and adopted SEPTEMBER 12, 2008. On November 2, 2010 we welcomed Libby Louise into our family and we couldn't be happier. In July of 2012 we welcomed Isaac's biological brother to our family. Jaiden's adoption finalized on Feb 14, 2013. On November 21, 2012 we welcomed Mollie Ryan in to our home to bring us up to 5 children. We live in Aspermont, TX. I have been doing photography for 9 years. I shoot with the CANON 5D Mark II in hopes of buying the 1D eventually. My favorite lenses are the 70-200 2.8 IS and the 85mm prime! I LOVE LOVE LOVE photographing families, children, newborns, high school seniors and maternity!!

Birthday Party Pics: FINALLY!!

FIRST of all we want to say another BIG BIG BIG THANK YOU to this family right here! These are our GOOD friends The Abell's: Mark, Karen and Lauren! They made Isaac and Hadleigh's FIRST Birthday a HUGE success. They live on a gorgeous piece of land by the river and have the COOLEST tree house ever to play in. Mark helped cook all the hamburgers and hot dogs along with the help of some other GOOD friends Mart and Pat Hanna! So glad you could celebrate this day with us!!
Pig and Horse cakes made by John and Melissa Whitworth!! Thanks a million, they were a big hit!

OK_ you just made me feel REALLY bad for not being there! We SO missed out! Unfortunately it couldn't be avoided!! We are hosting LifeGroup tomorrow night, so I'll re-pitch the idea of a P-Party then, OK?
