Guys, I know it has been a while and I am working on changing that. So first, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and Happy New Year! I am hoping I will stay consistent with blogging to just keep my content relevant and up to date, while showing all of my previous and potential clients what me and my Newborn Photographer Houston business is all about!SO… first things first… Daphne, (pictured) was four months in this picture… and now she is over a year old! I had to start somewhere, so here is where I decided to start.If you are a new follower of mine, or if you are like me and have that super awesome mom brain, you may not remember this session! So here’s some details to help jog that memory!This precious family decided to book me for their Newborn Photographer Houston choice!  My studio is here in South Houston / Pearland. Unfortunately, it did not go as planned, and I was put on bed rest when their newborn session was scheduled but I was so thrilled that they came in for her 4 month baby portrait session! **As a side note, me and my sweet sweet daughter are also doing very well! **I love to style my baby planner sessions to keep it organic to my personal style, relevant so it’s timeless and classic for years to come and simple. I have found that this just helps to maintain those art pieces in your home, so the style and look will be timeless and something that your family will treasure for many many years to come.So for this milestone baby session, we chose to go with soft pinks and creams. During these adorable baby portrait sessions, I always like to get those fantastic squishy baby rolls, those soft (yet infrequent smiles), and love how these babies are starting to make eye contact with mom and dad (and in my case…my camera!).Keep scrolling to see those perfect highlights from Daphne’s 4 month old milestone session!  And be sure to get in touch if you'd like me to be your Newborn Photographer in Houston!!PS- A HUGE thank you to my dear and sweet friend Bri Sullivan of Bri Sullivan Photography for stepping in to shoot their newborn portraits while I was unable!

I got to work with this gorgeous mama in mid-September and I just adore her family and this Maternity Photography Houston session! Her sweet baby girl made her big debut into this world just 3 weeks ago so I figured it was time to finally blog their family/Maternity Photography Houston session from this past summer.  I loved their wardrobe choices and their natural connection to their sweet boy.We also made sure to focus on big brother for several photos to document him at this fun toddler age and what a cutie! Such a smiley little guy who just wanted to explore and be a typical boy. ☺ I am so excited to share baby girl’s newborn photos with you soon as we just wrapped that lifestyle newborn session in their lovely home.

Maternity Photography Houston

This little man was one of my baby planners this past year and he sure was a cutie! Those big blue eyes just melted me! We did his nine month milestone session on a weekday evening, so we really had to work to get some smiles since he was pretty worn out from a fun day at school…but we managed to get some! Mom brought along the cutest "little man" outfits with the fedora, tie, and classic jeans and white shirt and they look adorable on him! We also got a few with big sister who happens to be one of the sweetest gals I know! This little guy turned one in May, so I am a little behind in blogging his sessions, but it's always better late than never. I sure am going to miss seeing this family every few months for their baby milestone sessions! I got to know them so well during little man’s first year that they started to feel like family to me...”K” family, you will be missed but I hope to see y’all soon!!

This baby girl was one of my very first baby planners. I had the pleasure of photographing Delaney for her newborn session, her 4 month/tummy time session, her six month/sitting session, and finally her one year/cake smash! She was truly one of the happiest and most "smiley" babies I have ever been around and rarely ever cried. Her mom has amazing style so Delaney always had the best outfits and accessories for her photo sessions. What a lucky girl! We went with soft pink and cream tones for her cake smash session and it looked so beautiful with her skin tone and her sweet personality. She had a blast playing with her cake, even though I don't think very much made it into her mouth. :-) I hope you enjoy a little sneak into her fun yet sweet cake smash session! I am so sad I won't be seeing their family every few months for her milestone sessions anymore...why does that first year have to go so fast?!?

This little man was a little over 4 months old when we did his tummy time milestone session earlier this year, so he was already a pro at rolling over and really trying hard to figure out how to crawl...slow down little man! I'm so glad we got his session done before he was really on the move! ;-) It was great to see one of my favorite maternity clients again, but this time in my studio just south of Houston. They are all such a beautiful family and their maternity session was one of my favorite sessions ever...the dreamy golden light gorgeous parents, perfect location.  Luke has such big gorgeous blue eyes and gave me so many smiles during his session – ohmigoodness, what a little heartbreaker! One of my favorite baby stages is when they grab their little feet…it seriously melts my heart and I think every parent needs a photo of their baby at this fun age! I hope you enjoy a little peek into this creamy and neutral tummy time milestone session!

I have been waiting to share this session with the world since early this year. Baby C came to visit me at my studio for her newborn session in February and she slept like a dream for me! She is the first baby for this sweet family and I wanted to make her session absolutely perfect for them. Her mom loved the vintage yet organic look, so we incorporated soft tones and fabrics, a little bit of lace, and some muted pinks and purples. Pure perfection for a gorgeous baby girl. I loved how her photos turned out and look forward to working with this family again later this year for her 6 month/sitting session.Clients often ask how far in advance they should book their newborn session...its highly recommended that you book early in your second trimester to ensure availability on my calendar. I am only able to book a certain number of sessions each month, and I hate turning clients away (it really does hurt my heart!) so please make sure you book as early as possible! I LOVE working with families for the newborn sessions and understand how important it is to document this very fleeting stage of your baby's life, so the early you can book the better. I hope I get to meet your sweet new babies soon!And now for a sneak into this lovely newborn session... :-)

I truly loved working with this baby girl this past year. I had the pleasure of photographing her newborn session and then again for her one year session. She's a special girl with lots of smiles and personality so she is a joy to photograph! Her mom planned so many fun details for her one year session all with a girly, vintage, and sweet appeal. We went to my favorite field and just had FUN! Enjoy a peak into her session...I'm sure it will leave you with a smile!

The 6 month age definitely has to be one of my favorite baby stages...this is when babies are usually starting to sit on their own and LOVE to smile and their mommy & daddy. I got to photograph this sweet girl right around her 6 month birthday and she was a such a doll! Her parents also happen to be good friends of mine from college so we got to catch up while they visited my studio. Mom brought the vintage pink dress and white whicker bassinet to incorporate into her session and they were both perfect additions! Kennedy had mastered sitting up and was full of smiles and sweet faces. :) She was a joy to photograph and I can't wait to share her next milestone session with you!

I probably say this a lot, but gosh, I love my job! It's such a pleasure getting to watch "my" babies grow into little people during their first year of life! We did Cash's newborn session over a year ago in the Pearland studio and he came back to visit me again recently for his one year & cake smash session. Mom planned the cutest birthday theme using inspiration from the Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? children’s book and it turned out perfect! His parents are both graduates of Texas Tech so we threw a few football themed Tech photos in there as well. I hope you enjoy some of my favorites from his session!

This Houston maternity session was one of those sessions where you just KNOW you are going to love every.single.image. We had the most perfect sun-drenched evening, a simply stunning mommy & daddy (to-be), a leaf blower to achieve that perfect wind-blown look, and lots and lots of LOVE. I had so much fun getting to know this sweet couple and I know their baby boy is already the center of their worlds. They booked my Baby Milestone Plan but unfortunately I had to miss their newborn session because I was on hospital bed-rest with my sweet Penelope when their baby boy arrived. But, I am super excited to get to meet baby boy this coming weekend when I photograph his "tummy-time" session in the studio! Stay tuned for sneaks of thier adorable little man!!

I had the pleasure of working with Charlotte and her sweet family during her first year of life, and what fun we had! I have been friends with Charlotte's mommy since our days working together in oil & gas at BP. When I heard the news that she was expecting, I was so thrilled and excited for her! I was even more pumped to get the opportunity to photograph their family for all of their baby girl's first year milestones. This session was done right around her four month birthday in Houston and she was full of smiles and personality...and completely adorable I might add! Mom and dad even got in a few photos with her. Many times, the mommy+daddy+baby interacting with baby photos are my absolute favorite! You can totally just FEEL the love! I hope you enjoy a little sneak peek into her vibrant and colorful four month milestone session!

This post is long overdue, but it was one of my favorite sessions from 2014 so it deserved its own blog post. I had the pleasure of photographing this family in their home last year to document their sweet Georgia's 6 month birthday. Mom set up a beautiful nursery perfect for their sweet girl and I had so much fun photographing their family in this lifestyle baby milestone session. I love it when parents have their own visions for a session because it gets my creative juices working and forces me to think outside the proverbial "box". And when you get to photograph gorgeous people, it makes for some gorgeous photos. I hope you enjoy this little sneak peek into this sweet family's life and their pure love for their baby girl. I sure did love working with them!

One of my favorite parts of being a baby photographer is getting to watch my baby clients grow from newborns, to babies, to toddlers. The first year of a baby's life is full of so many changes at rapid-fire speed...it seems like the first year truly flies by! One moment they are tiny little creatures and the next they are walking and diving into their first birthday cake. Documenting these fleeting days of your baby's life is sooooo important! I currently offer a milestone package that includes photo sessions at mutliple stages of that first year of life: (1) a newborn session, (2) a tummy time session, (3) a sitting session, and (4) a standing session. Here is a perfect example of a tummy time session with adorable Camila! She was about 4 months old when these were taken and that is the perfect age to capture your baby's rolls and emerging personality. I am currently booking The Baby Plan Milestone packages for the rest of 2015 so contact me today to book yours!
