Let’s face it. Post-partum bodies leave us feeling like a stranger when we look in the mirror (if you choose to look in the mirror, that is). Some things are bigger, some smaller, weight shifted to weird places, and bits hanging lower than ever before. And where exactly did all of that extra skin come from?

If we’re being honest. We are not feeling our cutest in the first two weeks after giving birth to a child.

And fun for you – that is the exact time frame the newborn photographer needs to photograph your new baby. It is SO easy to dismiss the idea of getting photos of yourself with your newborn, but I’m here to tell you to GET IN THE PHOTOS.

Hear me out on this one. I know you are sleep deprived, stressed out, dealing with post partum issues, clothes not fitting, learning about your baby and finding yourself as a new mom (or mom to multiples)….but I can promise you, taking those photos is WORTH IT.  You will look back on those photos and LOVE that moments that were captured. 

Why You Should Get in The Photos

1. It’s hard to take a selfie with you and your baby in it. A cell phone photo can’t capture the emotion you feel when you look at that precious child in your arms.

2. Your baby will never be this size again. You’ll always want to remember how small they were in your arms. Mom brain makes you forget things like their flaky skin, tiny feet, and the way their tiny hands wrapped perfectly around your finger.

3. Genealogy and heritage. Decades from now, your descendants will enjoy seeing photos of you and your family all together.

4. Getting professional photos of yourself can make you look and feel amazing – there’s just something about getting your hair and makeup done that can really lift your spirits.

Yes, you will see things you don’t love about yourself, but there is no amount of money or time that will ever get you those priceless moments back. That’s why it's important to document it and preserve it. And if I’m the one photographing you and your family, my sole goal in the lifestyle portion of the session is to make you feel comfortable, beautiful, and show you in your best light.

Matteo Newborn Photos

 Just look at these sweet little lips and big, dark eyes!! Matteo came to visit me in Pearland from our neighbor town of Friendswood. He had such a precious face and a head full of hair. At the beginning of the session, he woke up and gave us some precious wide-eyed photos, always a sweet surprise with newborns. I usually try to get lots of sleepy and posed newborn photos (since they don’t stay in these curly positions long), but I'm also happy to catch those bright eyes and cute wiggles when baby allows. (Usually waking up means it is time to eat or change a diaper, but this little guy just wanted to check out his surrounding for a few minutes.)

I loved getting to know his family and can't wait to see them again soon for his six-month milestone session. I’m sure I’ll be amazed by his new skills and budding personality. We’ll get lots of playful, interactive shots then! His older siblings will be joining us for that session, too, so I look forward to meeting them!

For Matteo’s newborn session, Mom picked out a gorgeous selection of sets and outfits for her handsome little guy. With the studio all warmed up, we did a few simple, classic photos to show off his soft newborn skin. We kept the background neutral with tiny dots for some texture. I really wanted to capture all of his precious features: the fuzzy shoulders, wrinkly skin, and plump cheeks.

Then we moved on to a few themed photos. They’re big Astros fans, so I loved the knit baseball outfit they brought. For the others, we included deep red, plaid, and gray color schemes. The newborn caps fit his head perfectly, so we incorporated several of those in, too. He looked adorable no matter what we put him in, and he went right along with the flow, snoozing away until the end.

Welcome home, baby Matteo! Can’t wait to see them back in a few months.

Weston Newborn Portraits

It seems like just yesterday I was photographing this big sister’s newborn portraits, and now it’s her brand-new baby brother’s turn! What an honor it was to be asked to photograph this family again!

I photographed Weston’s sister's newborn session just 18 months prior to his session, and for an 18-month-old, she did amazingly well for their sibling photos – better than some preschoolers even. I know this made their mommy so very happy! You just never know how a toddler will act for photos...sometimes they are willing to participate and other times they are less than enthusiastic. But this sweet girl is already so enamored with baby Weston. She gently patted his fluffy hair and rubbed his soft skin, which lulled him into an even deeper sleep.

It’s fun when kids are this close in age because they will truly grow up together. I can’t wait to watch their relationship grow in these first special years. Of course, they’ll have their share of squabbles as they learn to play and get along, but I have a feeling they’ll also be each other’s best friend and greatest supporter!

Brother was so handsome with enviable lashes and kissable baby lips. His detail shots are so sweet! And I just love the boy colors in this session with hints of blue and lots of dark woody colors to contrast the lighter neutrals. Mom did a great job of coordinating and letting me know what they like! I had so much fun putting this together for them. Weston is just as sweet as can be, and I know this family will enjoy looking back on these memories for years to come.

Documenting your children’s first years of life is so important. You already know how fast the time goes, and preserving those precious moments and details on your smartphone is just not enough. Down the road, you’ll want beautiful, high-quality heirloom collections that can be shared, passed down, and enjoyed. Click [here] to learn more about our services and products.

Hatfield Family Pregnancy Announcement Photos

The first couple months of pregnancy come with a certain unique type of excitement. The expecting couple knows their little secret, but the rest of the world is completely unaware. Sometimes it’s kind of fun having big news that no one knows about, but at the same time, the couple is just counting down the days until they can announce it to the everyone! (I once had a client who shared the news with unsuspecting strangers while running errands around town because he just could not contain his excitement about their pregnancy, and he wasn’t allowed to share with family and friends yet – adorable! ) Bringing a tiny human into the world is no small thing!

The Hatfields are new clients, and they booked me so they could announce their pregnancy to their family and friends in a fun way! We shot this in my favorite field just south of Houston. I love this area because it feels so peaceful and quiet. The hanging moss makes the trees appear so enchanting as it blows in the breeze – a perfect backdrop for this sweet couple to savor this experience together.

They brought along a cute letter board and balloons to the session, so we had some options to share their exciting news. I love that they incorporated the sunshine yellow into their session. It really popped against the darker natural colors of the field and trees for bright and lively photos.

This is their first baby so it was a very exciting & special time for them! They ended up booking a baby plan so I had the honor of photographing their maternity and newborn session a few months later. Their little man had the best lips I have ever photographed on a newborn, so I'll be sure to share those in a later blog post! Stay tuned for this sweet story.

This was our last session of 2018 and, coincidentally, scheduled it on the client's wedding anniversary. We all thought it was so neat! This is their first baby, so these sessions are held so dearly.

Have I mentioned how much I love doing boys’ sessions?  Most people think that little girls have more options (which may be some truth in that) but can we just stop and say that little boys steal so many hearts… usually for their whole lives?!  And being able to document that thud of a family’s heartbeat brings so much joy to me.  Jenna and I decided to stick with mostly neutrals for this session and decided to have fun with some prints for hat selections.  Mom and dad also loved this session, so I feel that we hit it out of the park with this one!  Giles slept so well and was such a chunk.  This combination makes for the most fun newborn sessions.

We stuck to neutrals when it came time to do the parent portraits.  These are timeless and classic- which generally never go outdated.  Since I specialize in displaying my artwork of your moments in your homes, I do like to get those timeless and classic shots. My goal is for you to be able to display them for years to come. Your portraits should grow with you as your family grows!

That said, I do love adding in those pops of colors to give your session a fun and artistic look to it, which is precisely what happened with that mustard and navy combination.  Great for a little boy and beautiful and fun to look at.

Side note: Giles’ name is special in that it came from relatives who had fought in the Texas revolution. How cool is that?  I love learning about my clients and their most precious, so do not be alarmed when I ask you these types of questions.  Happy Wednesday friends! <3

Did you open this post and think your web browser took you over to an advertisement for Baby Gap? I’ve been photographing this handsome little model baby since he was in his mommy’s womb, so I have loved watching him grow and develop his sweet personality over the past two years.

A Precious Keepsake

This vibrant shoot took place at the Sugar & Cloth Color Wall and Rainbow Staircase, right on the edge of downtown Houston. Sadly, it no longer exists :( —so these will be historic photos! The cheerful colors reflected Joseph’s joy and attitude perfectly. His silly grins and laughing faces are my favorite...capturing natural images of kids is always my goal! To get him in his element, I let him just explore and have fun. He checked out the staircase and showed his mom all the different colored stripes on the wall while I discreetly snapped away. I never want to over-pose kids because it hides their individuality (which is what most parents want to really highlight).

I pulled out a little stool and miniature wooden ladder as simple props for some up-close (somewhat) still shots. As with all two-year-olds, he was eagerly trying to climb up the ladder before I even had it set up! When he got to the top, he looked over at us triumphantly as if to say, “Did you see that? I did it!” I love that he has his little tongue sticking out as his focuses on his steps.

Joseph, I had a blast capturing this milestone year for you. You are one special guy! Happiest of birthdays!

What an amazing day Joseph and I had together. The opportunity to be his Houston Child Photographer was nothing short of an absolute joy!

Baby Boy Blue

I’m a sucker for the blues—blue hues, that is. Especially striking cobalt against natural, rustic tones. I am obsessed with the color scheme and props that we used for baby Michael’s newborn portraits. We kept it simple yet still creative. Michael looked like the cutest special delivery you’ve ever seen tucked inside a blue pail wrapped in soft blankets and topped with his little baby cap. We also used a tiny vintage doll bed to make him look larger-than-life with a miniature stocking cap and some pants with adorable stitching and great cribs from the Treasure Rooms site online. I really love all the button accents—they were the perfect little motifs to match the cute-as-a-button baby. Michael was such an easy newborn to pose, giving us tons of mischievous smirks, smiles and scrunched-up faces. He woke up briefly in the middle of the shoot to give us a picture of his big, handsome eyes before succumbing to sleep again.

This newborn shoot was extra special since it let me catch up with my friends who are previous clients. It is such an honor to get to watch my clients' families grow! I had the pleasure of photographing Michael’s big sister's newborn session a few years ago, and I was so excited when they asked me to do their next baby’s (Michael) portraits earlier this year! This family is so sweet, beautiful, and easy to work with. And baby Michael has the cutest dimples ever!! He was such a trooper through it all, and I have a feeling he’ll get a kick out of this portraits when he’s older—maybe as his parents show off their cutie at a high school graduation party in 18 years or even at a rehearsal dinner later?!

Houston Newborn Studio Photography | Alexander

Look at this sweet newborn session! Alexander is such a sweet baby boy who is perfect from his full head of dark brown hair down to his little toes! I wanted to make sure that I captured every flawless detail of him for mom and dad to reminisce on forever. I can’t stress enough to these families to get their little angels in as soon as possible because they grow up so quickly.

A Simplistic Approach

For this session, mom and dad requested something simple in order to keep the spotlight on Mr. Alexander. I’m such a fan of the earthy color scheme that they went with. You never know if newborns will get fuzzy during a session, but this one slept the entire time. Even when I moved him from position to position. I was lucky enough that he wasn’t too sleepy because he gave me the cutes grin when he was wrapped up in the material. Especially when he was placed in my little wooden basket. The most heartwarming part of the entire session was when mom was holding him close and kissing him on those big cheeks! There’s nothing quite like watching a mother’s love right in front of you, and it never gets old!

Ten perfect toes, perfect pouty lips and sweet bare bottoms. These are a few of my favorite things as a Houston Newborn Studio Photography artist.

Houston Outdoor Maternity Photographer | Miranda's Maternity Session

I had a great time capturing Miranda and her oldest daughter for her Maternity Session.  Both of these ladies were as sweet as they are beautiful.  Their smiles were so bright and full of excitement about welcoming a little baby into the family.  Miranda was stunning in the eggplant gown that she chose from our studio wardrobe.  The gown cascaded beautifully over her baby bump.  It was a nice balance of getting dressed up for the special occasion but casual enough for their laid back outdoor session.

Mommy and Me Time

The sun was shining and the trees were gorgeous.  There is something about Houston that draws people here and keeps them here.  Aside from good ol southern hospitality, the trees and basically year round warm weather are high on the list of what makes Houston great.  They definitely made these January Maternity Photos possible.

Miranda and her daughter enjoyed this special day together.  I thought it was so sweet to do a mommy daughter session before welcoming baby brother into the mix.  Her little girl was so sweet and I could not wait to meet their little boy.  Since they booked a baby plan I knew I would not have to wait long to meet him.  I could hardly wait to capture his Newborn Session.

As a Houston Outdoor Maternity Photographer I am so blessed to meet adorable growing families. Just like this sweet duo! Congrats on your newest arrival!

Pearland First Birthday Milestone Photographer | Joseph

Look at this little guy! Mom and dad can’t believe that Joseph is already one year old, and I couldn’t think of a more memorable way to celebrate than with a fun photo session with me! I took this cutie pie to one of my favorite parks, and we had a blast! I brought all of my favorite props with me, including blankets, a wooden crate, and big blue balloons to add to the festivities!

Stealing Hearts with His Big Brown Eyes

The camera loves Joseph, and he was just captivating everyone with this big eyes and smile of his. I couldn’t get enough of his joy and happiness playing with his parents. Can we just talk about his outfit for a second? How precious! I fell in love with the red pants and striped hoodie, and it really stood out in the images.

When we finally pulled out all of the balloons, Joseph was so fascinated. I know he was loving all of the attention during his session, and we loved giving it to him. It is always a pleasure to create real memories for these special families, and I hope to see them again in the future for updates as he grows up!

What an absolute heartthrob! It was such a joy being Joseph's Pearland First Birthday Milestone Photographer and capturing these sweet milestone memories.

Houston Newborn Photographer | Everett

This family is simply stunning and I loved working with them as his Houston Newborn Photographer.  Baby Everett was such a good sport throughout the whole session.  He was such a relaxed baby, so posing him was a dream. After a house full of girls, it was a fun day when a little boy entered the family.  Everett is absolutely precious and adored by the entire family.  His big sisters are smitten with him.  You can tell by the family portrait of everyone together that this little man has brought a lot of love out of everyone and mom and dad could not be more thrilled to add a new member to the crew.

About this session

Mom decorated his room in a nautical theme and brought along his personalized buoy for his session as a prop.  These are a few of my favorite images from last year.  I love that it has his name and birthdate on it, and he looks so cute relaxing in the center.  His chubby cheeks make me smile. He looks like he floats around in his buoy every day.  He is so relaxed and comfortable. It is always an exciting session when I am able to capture a newborn with their eyes open, and Everett brought some excitement to my day during his session.  The image of him with the adorable teddy bear hat and his eyes wide open is priceless.  His expression is too cute.

Houston Baby Photographer | Grayson Turns One

I'm so excited that Grayson is one of my baby planner clients. It means I’ve had the pleasure of watching him grow up through the lens of my camera over this first year of his life. In this session, we captured his wide-eyed-wanderer, curious personality. It’s always fun to see what little characters those tiny babies from the newborn sessions turn into. Grayson was all the things you could dream for a little boy to be. Handsome, happy, adventurous, playful, cuddly with his momma, and brave like his daddy.

About Grayson's Milestone Session

By the time we reach the one year session with my baby planner clients, we have seen some pretty big moments together. As anyone would agree, a lot can change in a year.  This day and similar session are so evident of that. Mom had a fun little surprise to share at Grayson’s one year session…She’s expecting another baby and this time it’s a girl! We made sure to capture some of her adorable baby bump in one of my studio gowns.With one year under his belt, Grayson is going to make such a great big brother! He’ll definitely be able to teach his little sister how to dive into a cake and splash like crazy in the bath. Necessary talents for any proper one year old! <3

Houston Fine Art Newborn Photography | Landon

Hello all! If you know me at all, you would know that I love love love babies! Not only do I adore my own children, but working with other little ones never fails to fill my heart with joy. I have been so excited to share this session with you guys. This little client was the sweetest little New Orleans Saints fan on the planet! Landon was just a few days old at the time of this session. And was as cute as can be in every single image!

The Newest Saint's Fan

Landon's family are all obviously huge Saints fans. So his mama brought some great ideas along to incorporate their favorite team into the photos. She had a New Orleans Saints themed prop photo with an adorable hat to match, and a gold belly cast that Landon snuggled inside so sweetly. I loved being able to help her vision of this session come to life, and document these wonderful moments that will forever be cherished.When it comes to newborn photography, the additional of textural elements truly add a beautiful depth to the collections. My favorite from this session were the images of Landon, curled up in a mustard yellow swaddling blanket, accented with pops of deep teal and natural elements. Swoon! How gorgeous is this little guy?!Landon was so precious, and slept nearly the entire time. From the New Orleans Saints themed photos, to the simple traditional swaddling photos, I am so thrilled with the outcome! Welcome to the world, little Landon, and Go Saints!

The best part of Houston Fine Art Newborn Photography is meeting sweet families like Landon's! What a treat it was working with them! Go Saints!

Houston Newborn Studio Photographer | Forrest

Be still my heart! This sweet boy was so alert throughout his whole session. With most little ones of his age, they are super sleepy, but not Forrest! Although he was awake, he was such a little trooper for his newborn session. It truly was such a treat to be his Houston Newborn Studio Photographer!Just take a peek at those eyes and that hair line! Oh my word have you ever seen a more adorable widow's peek?! When talking to his mama while planning this session, we knew we wanted to utilize plenty of masculine neutrals and she mentioned adding in some various textural pieces! Mama's really do know best, because this session was a delicious slice of textural heaven! I LOVE the way the roughness of the burlap and the chunky knit cable blankets contrasted so well with Forrest's delicate features. Swoon!!All in all...Take one part sweet baby boy, add in two loving doses of adoring parents and sprinkle in a tiny Teddy. You have all the makings for a perfect newborn session! Make sure to scroll down to see all the precious goodness from Forrest's first family portraits!

What in the world could be cuter than a sweet new baby boy, snuggling up with his tiny teddy bear?! Loved being his Houston Newborn Studio Photographer!

Houston Family Maternity Photographer | Ellis Family

I'm so excited to share this session with you all! Megan and I have been friends for a few years now. I know her from before my full-time photography years when we were teachers together. Watching her family grow has been one of the most rewarding things I have done as a Houston Family Maternity Photographer. During their first pregnancy, I was lucky enough to be their maternity photographer. Obviously, when she approached me about her second pregnancy, I answered with a resounding, "Yes!!"We decided on an outdoor session, which I loved! They are just so natural in front of the camera, so the setting seemed perfect. Watching little man kiss her belly and try and sneak some "all-organic" snacks throughout the session made me laugh so hard! What a cutie pie!They are excitedly expecting their second boy. Yay! I can only imagine how crazy life will be with two little ones running around. I'm so happy that they took the time to not only celebrate the upcoming arrival of their second son, but to celebrate the time that they have left with their first little man as their only child. Life is all about growth, and this gorgeous family is growing! It's always a blast when I get to work with them. 

I adored working with this sweet growing family as their Houston Family Maternity Photographer. What a bunch of sweet souls!

Houston Natural Light Newborn Studio Photographer | Bradley

Oh wow! How adorable is this little guy?! I am so incredibly blessed as a Houston Natural Light Newborn Studio Photographer to be able to do what I do and get to document such a special time in families’ lives. To be able to capture the beginning of one’s life is truly a joy, and Bradley’s session was nothing short of amazing. I enjoyed my session with him so much; he was such a great little sleeper and so easy to pose! Oh! And those adorable little pajamas! He had to be one of the most cuddly, calm newborns that I’ve had the pleasure of capturing. Just look at that sweet, little face and dark brown hair. With Bradley being the youngest of three boys, I’m sure his brothers are so ecstatic to have another brother to play with! Once they’re teenagers, this is going to be a family of little heartbreakers.

 These five photos are Bradley’s parents’ favorites from his custom newborn portrait session I did for them last year, and I can definitely see why! With the soothing blues and soft textures of these photos, they capture the calmness, beauty, and the miracle of Bradley’s first days on Earth. I hope they will be photos that the family can look back on and cherish forever. It was such a pleasure to work with Bradley and his parents, and I can’t wait for their next session!

Pearland Newborn Natural Light Studio Photographer | Eli Green

Be still my heart! This sweet boy is the second welcomed addition to his gorgeous family. With little ones of this age, it's rare to see the definite color of their eyes right away. But I think this little guy is going to be a blue-eyed boy for sure! It might have been the various tones and shades of deep teal we used throughout the session that brought out the color so vividly. We stuck with varied neutrals while adding in pops of color here and there create an eclectic feel of the session. As a Pearland Newborn Natural Light Studio Photographer  it makes my heart so happy to see these images look so stunning side-by-side in their handcrafted heirloom album.Big brother was an absolute ham throughout this entire session. Which I LOVED! He kept me laughing from the first hesitantly shy hello, to the last high-five goodbye. My abs haven't hurt so bad in a long time! As with a lot of kiddos his age, he was a little unsure at first of being photographed. But as little ones typically do, he warmed up after a while. We were able to capture a super cute moment between the two of them, which made both me and his parents super happy.I loved capturing these first sweet images of little Eli for his adorable family. Being their Pearland Newborn Natural Light Studio Photographer was such a treat!

Houston Fine Art Baby Photography | Gus

Just look at those big baby blue eyes! How could you not fall instantly in love with such a cute little guy?! I know I sure did when I saw first saw him for his newborn session! Gus is on our baby planner package which means I'l be lucky enough to steal a few more shots of that gorgeous smile in just a few short months for his first birthday session!  Clients like this make Houston Fine Art Baby Photography so much fun!I love the way we styled this session and were able to incorporate big brother. You can already tell these two are going to have a great lifelong friendship just by watching them interact. The way Gus' tongue flopped out when he giggled, or how he would grab his toes when he laughs just made my heart melt! I'm so glad we were able to steal some shots of these sweet little quirks! I cant wait to see what changes I see in him when I see him for his next session. It blows my mind how much these little ones learn at this age! Like adorable little sponges, soaking up every new experience. They really do grow up so fast. I think that' s why I treasure my job. Photography is one way to freeze time, and dwell on what a beautiful age this is.Incorporating different textures and color combinations throughout the entirety of the session really brought about a depth to these images that I truly love. While each image contains it's own unique properties, they all flow so well with each other. This allows for the development of a truly stunning gallery wall!I had so much fun working with this handsome guy, and can't wait to see him very soon! <3  Check out more sweetness like this on our blog!

Oh man, have I expressed my joy for sitter sessions?  If not, I want to go ahead and take the time to express it now: I LOVE SITTER SESSIONS! :)  Having this little one's parents hire me to be their Baby Boy Houston Photographer, I was just so thrilled to be a part of their story.  I also loved how baby sister hung out behind the camera to get those genuine smiles that I just love.  I love when siblings come to help because it gives them a chance to feel like they are a part of this big picture while being the "grown up one."We stuck to Cora & Violet's adorable hoodie rompers, warm wood tones, and my white wood backdrop.  I loved this session because since Maddox is a baby planner client, I had the pleasure of photographing his mom’s maternity session, and his newborn session.  So watching him grow is a true joy for this year.  They came back to visit me at the studio for his sitting milestone session and we had so much fun dressing him in my studio wardrobe clothing and getting him to smile!  I also incorporated one of the props from his newborn session to show how much he had grown.  We also used a wood bowl, my log bed that I adore, a favorite blue bear stuffed animal from his very own nursery, and of course, one of Luneberry's sky blue flokatis.Here are the highlights from this adorable session!

Baby Boy Houston Photographer

Hey Everyone!  I hope your weekend went well and you had a great July 4th holiday with your family celebrating this amazing country!  Besides the intense heat, summer has always been one of my favorite season.  We have been enjoying tons of water activities outside and I just love seeing my kiddo's smiles are just stretched from ear to ear!  We have all loved the quality time we have been spending together as a family during these warm summer months.  Mush-y feelings today, but I love it.  It's who I am and maybe that's why I love my job and owning my very own Houston Tx Newborn Photography Studio.  Up next on the blog is sweet baby Milo.This precious family was referred to me by an existing client of mine.  It really humbles me when my clients-turned-friends loved their experience with me that they decide to share it with their family and friends.  This is this sweet couple’s first baby.  And boy, is he loved!  This was one of my first sessions to use my new barn wood.  I just love the warmth and feel it gives to the images.  Mom and dad are also so gorgeous and super photogenic, so they really made my job as easy as it can get.We took to neutral colors- grays, warm wood tones, navy blue accents.  Basically- earthy tones that compliment baby boys so incredibly well.  Timeless. Classic.  Perfect.  Be sure to keep scrolling below for the highlights <3
