Houston Fine Art Maternity Photographer - Edna
Have you ever gone through images from your past? When you do, do memories come rushing to you? The smell of the house that the picture was taken in, the way it was decorated (beautiful to you despite how dated that image looks these days to others), the sounds that were going on around you. It's incredible what one image that you hold in our hands can create. In your heart, in your mind, and the tangible memory that just a single portrait can do for you. I met Edna and her sweet family back in May. Being a Houston Fine Art Maternity Photographer, my goal is to create these tangible memories for each one of my clients.
What do these documented memories look like?
Perhaps these memories will be for big sister. The way her mom looked that evening when we did this session. Having two kids of my own, I can completely relate to the feeling of extra weight, love wrinkles, some on my hips, some on my thighs and on some days... just not feeling beautiful-especially because of how quickly our bodies change during pregnancy. But good heavens, the way that her oldest looked at her that night. I think in that moment, big sister thought her mama was the most beautiful woman to walk the face of the earth. And I agreed that night. But those looks. They demand to be documented.That happiness, the smell of the new summer blooms, the sound of the crickets, those annoying mosquitoes that aggravate nearly everyone, but the laughs we all got from it, and the pats coming from mama's tummy of a new life that soon will be earth side.Let me not forget the daddy! They seem, sometimes, to get lost in the hustle and bustle of this new baby and new everything. I will never forget the way that my husband looked the day he met my kids for the first time. He explained to me that the tears that rolled down his face each time, were not only pure and perfect love for my children. But that they were overwhelming sense of relief, happiness, and of course love. Love. Dad's provide safety and a love that is immeasurable and like no other. Very unique to a man, but very needed.I am so grateful I played this part in this documentation of this part of their lives. I hope sweet Edna and her beautiful and perfect family cherish these memories for many years to come. <3
