Oh, my goodness, y’all – cuteness overload! I love this family so much, and I’m enjoying watching their two sweet kiddos grow. Baby Kollins came back to see me for her six-month milestone session, and Mom decided she wanted a family session outdoors this time. Kollins’ six-month birthday happened to land right around fall time in Texas, so we had some lovely cool weather with a gorgeous fall sunset the night of their session.
Read MoreJust 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.)
Read MoreIt 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.
Read MoreAnd here she is! Ellis is six months old – and so full of personality! If you missed it, check the previous post for her adorable 4thof July themed newborn and family session! This gorgeous girl has grown so much since I last saw her. She transformed from a sleepy little snuggle bug into a bright-eyed wiggle worm! The six-month milestone is one of my favorites because they’re so interactive and curious, wanting to explore anything they can get their hands on. The toothy grins are my absolute favorite!
Read MoreThis little cutie patootie put on an endless show of priceless expressions for me to capture – both awake and asleep! What a fun baby girl’s newborn session at the studio!
I've known this family for many years, and it was so great to reunite with them again. I grew up with her sister (we were cheerleaders together in high school), and we’ve all kept in touch some over the years. When she contacted me to let me know she wanted me to photograph her new baby girl's newborn photos, I was so ecstatic! I couldn’t wait to catch up and reminisce a little.
Read MoreI've known this awesome family for many years as they are not only former clients but good friends! They truly are some of the nicest and most welcoming people you will ever meet. They were blessed with two handsome boys for their first two babies...so when baby #3 came along, and they found out it was a sweet baby girl, there was tons of excitement!
Read MoreOh, what a glorious evening for this dreamy sunset maternity shoot. Who says you can’t get some stunning beach shots in Texas?! This was as peaceful as it gets.
This glowing mama-to-be is one of the most outstanding baby planners I know. She provides supportive and knowledgeable maternity consulting for families who are expecting. I hope she has had just as much support from family and friends throughout her pregnancy as she gives to others.
Read MoreThis little beauty is the queen of sleepy smiles! Normally, it’s pretty hard to catch one of those rare moments, but baby Savannah gave us several. She absolutely lit up the room with joy and what a pleasure it was to have her family in the studio.
The Matheson Family is new to the Houston area, so I was honored they chose me to be their newborn photographer. This is their first baby, and with all the transitioning between moves and having a baby, she was a little bit "older" in terms of newborns when she came in for her session.
Read MoreThis 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.
Read MoreDid 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.
Read MoreMeet baby Hazel. Ruler of my studio who wrapped her parents and Jenna and I around those tiny little fingers. Her little sister and this doll baby are both so photogenic and just so easy.
Because this family is a family of girls (sorry dad) we wanted to style it with all the girlie things. How did I do? ;) We used florals, pinks, rhinestone embellishments, lovies, lace and all. the. snuggles.
Read MoreHappy Wednesday, friends! I am so excited to be sharing this sweet Vintage One Year session with sweet Camila. We went to the Houston Warehouse Studios. This worked well for this sweet family (and me!) because we got to avoid any crazy Houston winter weather.
This is also a great option for any client that may be on a time crunch and cannot really fit reschedules into their scheduling. Rain? No problem! Cold winter days? No problem! And yep, HOT Houston days? No problemo!
Read MoreOne the most common laments I get from clients is, “I can’t seem to find coordinating family outfits for our upcoming session! How can I make this easier?” I’m a mom of three—I get it. Rather than sorting through FIVE closets to scrounge up semi-coordinating outfits, we as moms decide that it would probably be easiest to the just start all over and go buy some fresh new clothes. That being said, as busy moms, making a trip to a men’s store for Dad, the women’s store for mom, and then another trip for the kids just sounds miserable. So, just like Target is the one-stop-shop for home and groceries, these are my top 5 stores for finding clothes for the entire family. I want to make your job a little easier!
Read MoreJust look at those sweet pouty little lips! Who couldn't help but fall in love with this sweet girl? I know I sure did! Elena is a part of our Baby Planner program, so I've had the pleasure of seeing her a few times over the past months. Each time I get to see her, I am reminded just how quickly time truly does pass.
Read MoreI am absolutely in love with this newborn session. Charlotte came to me at just a few short days old, and boy do I love those squishy baby cheeks! I had a ton of fun with this session, playing with moody tones and various textural elements. She was such a trooper throughout the entire session, hardly making a peep. In other words, a Pearland Newborn Photographer dream client!
Read MoreTea parties, ruffles, lace, and sweet delicate florals. All things girly, and all things my sweet Penelope loves. This is my very own daughter, we just celebrated her fourth birthday and wanted to commemorate this adorable stage in her life with her very own birthday session. As so many little girls are, she is absolutely obsessed with tea parties and playing dress up. As her mother, what could be better than providing for her the perfect afternoon, filled to the brim with everything she loves. Luckily, I was there every step of the way to capture each joyful grin and silly giggle.
Read MoreI’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.
Read MoreLook 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.
Read MoreCheck out this cutie pie, Charlize! I first just want to say that I am in love with her name. It's so unique and beautiful just like her. Mom and dad requested a fun and girly session to celebrate her being one year old, and that’s exactly what they got. If there’s one thing I am an expert at, that is coming up with sassy and girly sessions. I know that these images will be something that brings the entire family smiles for a lifetime.
