Houston Milestone Photographer | Happy Birthday Harrison

Oh this precious boy absolutely stole my heart! Just look at that sweet little grin. I have to admit, sometimes I wish I could just snuggle these sweet faces during sessions such as this. But, we had one goal in mind. And that was to capture his sweet personality during this family's life. As Harrison's Houston Milestone Photographer, this was such a sweet treat! He was in such a wonderful mood during his session. It made this bright afternoon so incredibly enjoyable.

About this Milestone Session

This first year of life is so precious. I think that's why I was drawn to this style of photography in the first place. When my kiddo's first made their big debut into our family's waiting arms, I knew I wanted to document each milestone. No mater the size, first smile, first bath, first words, first steps. This first year is just that. A year full of firsts. For new parents, this is an incredible time of growth and learning. And even more so for baby!With every sound, every new sight, little Harrison was soaking up each new interaction. Like a tiny human sponge, the amount of information he is constantly learning is astounding. You could see his eyes light up at every sound. A bug would zoom by, followed shortly by his squeals of delight. I adored working with and spending this wonderful afternoon with Harrison and his sweet mama. After we were done with the cake smash portion of the session, I was so excited to capture some bubble loving images.What a great way to sneak some shots of true delight and get little man cleaned up! I LOVED how this collection turned out. It's easily one of my favorite first birthday sessions to date for me as a Houston Milestone Photographer!

Be still my heart! I adored being Harrison's Houston Milestone Photographer! Just take a peek at that sweet smile! Happy Birthday Harrison!

Houston Milestone Photographer | Tessa

Wow! One year old already! This sweet girl was on a baby plan with me as her Houston Milestone Photographer, and I have really enjoyed watching her grow over the year. It is so much fun seeing all of the new things she has learned from session to session. They grow up so fast, and that’s why mom knew it was important to capture every milestone of her first year, so they could smile back on it for many years to come!

About this Session

We completed her last session from this plan at the Houston Studio in downtown to create a different look. The first part of this session was a tea party theme to celebrate her birthday. I had a blast making the tissue paper flowers hanging on the walls. Doesn't it really make for a girly floral affect!?I could never forget this little princess and all of the laughs she has given me this past year! One of my favorite memories is how every time her mom would recite the words from the book Pout Pout Fish her sweet smile would light up the room! I am so thankful that I was able to capture so many heartwarming moments for this family! I hope to see little Tessa again soon!

How is this sweet girl a year old already?! Geeze, how time flies...I've adored being her Houston Milestone Photographer!

Houston One Year Birthday Photographer | Fabiana

Goodness, how I adore watching these little ones grow! Fabiana was a newborn client of mine from last year. So needless to say, I was super excited when her family contacted me to take her one year portraits! I know it's cheesy, but I almost cried when I saw how big she's gotten! As a mama myself, I know how quickly that first year flies by. But for some reason, it still catches me off guard. Growth truly is one of the best things about this profession. It so wonderful seeing how much my clients have grown over that first year of life as their Houston One Year Birthday Photographer.I remember back to when she was just a tiny sleepy little thing. She was so good for her newborn session and continued that trend throughout this milestone session. Fabiana was full of spunk and smiles, constantly leaving me in a fit of giggles. Originally we planned to take these photos outdoors, but the Texas weather was uncooperative so we moved her session into my Pearland studio...and it worked out perfectly! I adore using this precious teepee for sessions just like this. It paired so incredibly well with the pink and gold theme we maintained throughout the entire session.Make sure to scroll down to see all of Fabiana's adorable sweetness from her first birthday celebration session! <3

Houston Fine Art Maternity Portrait Photographer | Cheryl

Isn't motherhood so sweet? Your children are the brightest stars in your sky. The only thing that matters. And it all starts with that incredible moment of realization...you have a little angel on the way! I remember when I found out that I was pregnant with my sweet little Penelope, and the excitement that followed. One of the most fun parts for me was getting to share this precious moment with my son, Jensen. I absolutely could not wait for him to meet his little sister! Needless to say, I was thrilled to be a part of this exciting time in Cheryl's life as her Houston Fine Art Maternity Portrait Photographer.

About this session

I had the opportunity to work with this mama and her sweet family for a maternity session a while back and I could not be happier with how it turned out! We did this shoot in my private field south of Houston. The love that flowed so easily between them was so beautiful and such an honor to capture! Seeing this little boy curled up and smiling next to his mama's belly was such a heart warming thing for me to watch through my lens.Mama wanted in incorporate a neutral look for her last outfit change. So we used a simple piece of fabric to giver her an organic look for her last belly portraits, and the result was stunning. With beautiful wild flowers all in bloom, a gorgeous golden sunset, and an even more stunning family, the shoot could not have gone any better!

Outdoor Houston Tx Maternity Photographer - Shannon

You can’t tell, but literally less than one hour before we were able to get these shots, it was pouring cats and dogs! I was super nervous that we were going to have to reschedule the session, but Shannon (this gorgeous mommy-to-be) had already had her hair and makeup done so we decided to wait it out. Thank goodness we did, because these pictures really did turn out amazing! Houston is notorious for flooding, thanks to a less than ideal drainage system, so we had to change locations from my usual go to spot to this empty golf-course unless we wanted to get some underwater shots. I love being pushed out of my comfort zone...that’s when the magic happens! I might actually try and use this spot more often since these pictures came out so well.  I have a newborn photography studio in Pearland, but often I get to be one (of many) Outdoor Houston Tx Maternity Photographer.  For this session, that's exactly what we did!This session was full of happy little bits of serendipity. Because we had to wait a bit to start the session, it ended slightly later than initially anticipated. What a wonderful thing to have happened! Just look at that sunset we were able to capture! How perfect is that soft golden light kissing her darling baby bump?!As a photographer, one of the best tools I can have in my arsenal is flexibility. Without it, I would missed out on the opportunity to get what I think are some truly stunning shots of this breathtaking mama-to-be and her sweet husband. Yay for silver linings!

Houston Newborn Baby Photography Studio - Claire

I remember bringing home my first little one from the hospital. I would sit, and stare at him quietly sleeping, wishing I could crawl into whatever dreamland he was in, just to steal more time with him. I remember being so aware of the magnitude of responsibility I felt when staring in lost wonder, at this incredibly delicate tiny human; but also what intense, overwhelming love I immediately felt for every precious ounce of his darling little body.  Having a Houston Newborn Baby Photography Studio helps me to freeze moments in time like these.  It's seriously one of the best jobs in the whole world.What an exciting time in this new family’s life!  Little Claire here is the first baby for her darling family. They signed up for my baby plan package, which means I have the honor of getting to see her again in a few short months! This is definitely one of my favorite packages we offer because it gives me the opportunity to see and document one of the most exciting times in a family’s life! So much changes that happens in that first year and I love being a part of the beautiful process.I love playing with varying textures, especially with newborn sessions. The stark contrast of their fresh, delicate skin against the multiple accessories and outfits create such a dreamy depth to these images. Mom loves all things floral and vintage so we made sure incorporate both into this newborn in-studio session. She brought with her the antique birth scale (love unique props like this one), some absolutely darling floral knit bottoms and an assortment of to-die-for hand-bands. What a fun session! Can’t wait to see what the next year holds for Claire and her sweet parents!

Houston Natural Light Baby Photographer - Piper

What an amazing start to 2017 it has already been! I'v already been so lucky to have been blessed with such amazing clients, and it's only March! The simple fact that I get the chance to meet and build lasting friendships with so many people because of this amazing profession of mine makes my heart so incredibly happy. The experiences and memories I have made through this path have forever left a sweet mark on my heart. As a Houston Natural Light Baby Photographer, I know how incredibly blessed I am and just want to take a moment and say, thank you. Thank you to all my clients that make this dream of mine a reality. Thank you to my family for the constant support and endless shower of love. From the bottom of my heart, I truly treasure each and every one of you.It's little ones like Piper and Luke, that makes this Houston Natural Light Baby Photographer's heart squirm with delight at the thought of capturing their adorable beauty! Piper is one of my baby planners from 2016, so I have had the immense pleasure of watching her grow into the happy little 6-month old baby she is. So incredibly sweet, a perfect reflection of her kind and gentle parents. I wanted to approach this session as a 6-month milestone/family session to really capture the love and beauty that is this family. The way Piper's face lights up as soon as she sees her Mama or the way Luke giggles uncontrollably when playing hide-and-seek with his Daddy; it's days like this that help me wake each morning with a heart full of gratitude and a smile on my face. Make sure to check out more Baby Photography from Houston Natural Light Baby Photographer Taryn Melgoza.

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

Houston Tx Newborn Photography Studio

Houston Pearland Newborn Studio

Happy Tuesday friends!  What better way to start your day than with this Houston Pearland Newborn Studio session?

Meet newborn baby Jackson!  All the heart eyes, guys!  Being that these were first time parents to this newborn baby boy, we decided to stick with neutrals to style his session.  It was a perfect, timeless, and classic touch to this adorable session.  This included many muted grays, blues, and some touches of tan and browns as well.  This was my very first session using my new barn wood flooring and I absolutely love the texture and warmth is adds to my newborn sessions.

This sweet mama is also a huge fan of Harry Potter, so she brought along her Harry Potter wand, a “Muggle Born” hat, and all of the books from the series to incorporate into a Harry Potter themed shot.   I also purchased the little white stuffed owl for the finishing touches on this themed set.  I just love adding these personal touches to a newborn baby session because it really creates an environment where mama and dad.  It just seems so orchestrated to who they are, and I strive to document that in all of my sessions.  We also used my log bed and the brown bear lovie to create a snuggl-y and sweet boy newborn session that these parents will cherish for a lifetime.

As a side note- these client’s purchased an custom accordion mini album from their ordering appointment as a gift to themselves and to each set of grandparents.  These accordion mini albums have quickly become one of my client’s favorite fine art products.  It’s the perfect little brag book to carry around and show off to family and friends!

Houston Newborn Studio Session

Happy Friday, everyone!  Here I am, still chugging along with blogs posts from 2015! If you have stayed up to date on my blog, I am grateful and thankful for you!  The next Houston Newborn Studio Session I decided was sweet Elle's.  She had the chubbiest cheeks that ever was and I just loved her so much.  I am so grateful to get to document these new lives.  Who knows- maybe one of them will be the next president, or the next Albert Einstein.  It's just so crazy to think how quickly time goes by and how fast these sweet babies grow.  I just sometimes sit back and think how awesome of a job I have.I first met this family when I had the honor of documenting their maternity session.  You can see that super dreamy and beautiful session here.  Elle's parents are some of the most beautiful and sweet people, so of course their baby girl is just as beautiful!  I wanted her Houston Newborn Studio Session to reflect just how gorgeous she is so I chose to use various girl colors including: mint, purple, rose pink and floral accents. This was one of the first newborn sessions that I ever incorporated flowers into and it quickly turned into an obsession for me!   Baby girls and flowers sure do belong together, in my honest but usually right opinion!  ;)Elle had an amazing full hear of black hair so choosing the perfect headband’s for her hair was so fun.  We finished the session with parents and newborn photos and I am so in love with how they turned out. Their love is just so palpable and it truly shows in their portraits!

Houston Newborn Studio Session

I hope everyone had a great weekend and got to snuggle their babies, relaxed, or whatever makes your heart happy.  This morning I am blogging this Baby Photography Studio Houston session!  Sweet Piper was 4 months old when she came to see me and just full of sweetness.  We took to my Baby Photography Studio Houston to do her session and I just loved every second of it.This tummy time session was from one of my baby planner sessions, so I got to watch this little thing grow from being in her mommy's belly all the way up to this session from January.  We used a bunch of floral touches, creams and pinks to make this Baby Photography Studio Houston extra girly and extra perfect.I have known this family for several years as I had the honor of photographing their first baby (big brother) a few years ago. Now I am so excited to photographing baby sister for several Baby Photography Studio Houston sessions throughout her first year. We did her tummy time session in the studio earlier this year!  She loved sticking out her tongue. At the end of the session, she had a little bottle and took a short nap so we posed her in my vintage pram.  We were able to get some of the sweetest sleepy baby images of her. I can’t wait to see her again for her sitting session in a few weeks!

Baby Photography Studio Houston

I hope everyone has been enjoying their weekend!  I was slow going with the blogs this week because I am on a special trip to mentor one of the leading newborn photographers in the industry.  I needed to make sure I keep my blog up to date, so being that I am a Houston Baby Photographer Studio in Pearland, what better way to kick off this week's blog than share this adorable one year session?!This client was one of my baby planner clients from 2015.  I photographed their maternity, newborn, four month session, six month (sitter) session, and then her one year session (this one)!!  Being a Houston Baby Photographer Studio, it is just such an honor and great pleasure to see these babies grow.  We shot Camila's session in my trusty favorite Houston field.  I styled this session with lots of soft girl tones, pinks, creams and some pops of color here and there.  I really did love this one.  We also incorporated some family shots into this session, as mom and dad needed some updated shots of them.  I also always encourage family shots for the one year, as it is just such an amazing time in a family's life.  We also wanted to do some singles of this sweet girl, because, hey... who wouldn't?!  Look at that face!!We had so much fun incorporating all of mom’s ideas into this session.  She also planned a bumble bee birthday party that was so adorable!  We incorporated this theme into her cake smash portion of her Houston Baby Photographer Studio session. The wildflowers were starting to bloom around this time last year so it made for a really beautiful session with gorgeous evening light.  Keep scrolling down to see highlights from this adorable photo shoot!

Houston Baby Photographer Studio

Happy hump day! I decided to throw in a recent 2016 sessions to mix it up a little…although I still have tons of 2015 sessions to catch up on!  So here's this Beautiful Houston Baby Photography session!Being a Beautiful Houston Baby Photography specialist has some of the best job perks…one of them is that I get to watch tiny little newborns grow into the cutest babies! Meet Greyson. He came to visit me in my Houston-area studio for his sitting milestone session just a few weeks ago. We chose to do this session in the studio because it’s the perfect age to capture their rolls and baby details and we didn’t have to worry about the outdoor elements in this crazy Texas weather.This blue eyed baby boy was full of smiles and he also happens to have the sweetest parents! Greyson’s mom is a good friend from several years ago…during our just graduated college kid-free days. Our lives sure have changed since then! We are now both mothers and couldn’t be happier.You might have seen this family’s maternity session on the blog a few weeks ago. They are so photogenic and easy to work with and I just love photographing them. Well, I also had the pleasure of photographing Greyson’s newborn and tummy time sessions (which will both be blogged soon, I promise). As you can see, I’ve spent a lot of time with this family this past year. I usually get sad when we get to the end of their Baby Collections because it means I won’t get to see them as often. BUT I am excited to say they will be welcoming a new baby GIRL in a few months too! Which means I will be seeing them a ton in 2016 too! ☺ We incorporated a pregnancy and gender announcement during their studio session and I loved how it turned out! See a sample of their session below. Enjoy!

Beautiful Houston Baby Photography

Happy Saturday friends!  Kicking off this blog post is the Miller Family. This precious bunch booked me to be their On Location Houston Family Photographer and I was so excited because they were out of state and were here visiting relatives.I just feel so honored that they trusted me enough to do this for them, especially since Houston just has so many other baby and family photographers to choose from. It’s very humbling and I am very grateful. OK! Now for the deets!We went to a local park in Pearland to shoot their family portraits.  This sweet family wore various tones of blue for their outfits. The goal of the session was to document sweet William and to document him turning 1. We even squeezed in a cake smash to just make this session the perfect session to celebrate his first birthday! It was a windy and crazy weather day…it started out sunny, then rained on us with lots of wind, then the sun came back out. We managed to work around the weather to make this a memorable session for their family. We also included some extended family photos with the grandparents and I know they will cherish those images with their sweet grandson.  The highlights from their sweet and perfect  session are below! I would love to be your On Location Houston Family Photographer and to be able to document your family's special milestones!

On Location Houston Family Photographer

Up next on the blog (I am SO enjoying going through these past sessions) is when I got to be sweet Sophia's Houston Baby Photographer. I just loved this session so much because it screams all things GIRL!!We took to my trusty favorite field here in Houston for sweet Sophia’s darling session. With soft girlie tones, pinks, creams, ruffles galore and even a chandelier that we hung in a tree, this session was meant for a princess. We also implemented my ruffle teepee, added some pink balloons and topped it off with fresh flowers. It was just incredibly soft… and as I said before, majorly girlie! I just absolutely adored this session.Another reason that I loved this one so much is that this precious family was from out-of-town. Being a Houston Baby Photographer, I just love having the opportunity to meet these folks from out of town and giving them just a slice of what I am all about. Sophia’s grandparents also joined us for the session and we snapped a few with them too. The wildflowers were starting to bloom around this time last year so it made for a really beautiful session with gorgeous evening light.Below are highlights from this sweet session, and if you'd like to book a session with me, be sure to reach out! I'd love to work with you!

Houston Baby Photographer

I hope everyone is having a great weekend and enjoying this gorgeous almost spring-like weather. Someone told me the bluebonnets were already blooming….in February! That tells you we have definitely had some warmer weather so far this year. I’m still catching up from all the blog posts from last year and here is another favorite. We did this session in Wichita Falls (we have family there) in March of last year. Having a Houston Newborn and Baby Photography Studio, it was nice to see other parts of Texas and what it has to offer.  It was a simple and fun cake smash/one year and also a fantastic baby #2 announcement!! I was beyond excited when my cousin asked me to photograph her daughter’s cake smash session.   She knew I would be in town a month before her actual birthday and the timing could not have been more perfect.  We also had some seriously gorgeous golden lighting for the evening which made for dreamy images.This session was filled with creams, pinks, and a fun pop of teal green.  It was all things girl-y and it literally could not have been sweeter. I took to my the famous cream ruffled tee-pee and incorporated a Jenny Lind pink rocking chair with flowers.  I was sweet, yet delicate touches to complete this gorgeous one year cake smash session.Being that I shoot mostly in my Houston Newborn and Baby Photography Studio, it was really fun to switch it up here by shooting in a completely new location for me…and if you keep scrolling, you’ll see just how adorable this little family is!!! By the way, baby brother was welcomed by their family in November and is such an adorable little guy, just like his big sister.

Houston Newborn and Baby Photography Studio

Happy Tuesday friends! Is it just me, or is this Houston weather crazy?! As I was playing catch up on my blog, I remembered this particular session being so warm and cozy...I nice change from our crazy weather! When I was asked to be this sweet family's Houston baby and Maternity Photographer, I was thrilled.  This session had all the feels and I just HAD to share it.This session took place in this gorgeous family’s Houston Heights stunning home. With neutral décor and colors, this just really made my job as a bump-to-baby photographer so much easier. Think… greys, tans, whites…. a Houston baby and Maternity Photographer ’s dream come true and neutrals just really make for classic and timeless portraits. Being that this was their first pregnancy the only sibling that we had to include was their sweet and rather large fur-baby. We wanted to keep everything super simple and preserve the emotions that go along with being new parents. We included the book (pictured below) and stayed in the rooms that had that dreamy and ethereal natural light, while focusing on mom and dad. If you are looking for great photographic hacks for your new born baby, then visit My Babies Planet.I have been friends with Ashley for a few years so I was so flattered when she contacted me about their maternity and newborn portraits. As we all know, pregnancy can be stressful and they may not always go as planned; each and every pregnancy is unique! This session was originally going to take place outdoors but things didn't go as planned with Ashley’s pregnancy and she ended up on bed-rest. When unforeseen circumstances come up, I work to serve each of my clients with the best customer care so that we can still document this special time in their lives. So I packed up my camera gear and took to their beautiful home and did a lifestyle Houston baby and Maternity Photographer session, which has ended up being one of my favorites to date!I was even more excited that they booked my bump-to-baby plan so I also shot their sweet and precious newborn just a few short months later in my Houston studio.I hope all of my fans, fellow photographers, friends, and visitors love this session as much as I do.

Houston baby and Maternity Photographer

Happy Friday friends! I hope everyone had a wonderful week and is ready for a lovely Valentine's weekend. I have been going through a bunch of my past Baby Photographer in Houston Tx sessions, trying to organize them, and trying to figure out what to blog next and remembered this sweet session…. Baby Addison’s one year old DONUT smash session!!! Yep, you read that right… she smashed donuts instead of a cake… and I L-O-V-E-D it!!We headed to my favorite field here in the Houston area to do this session. We focused mainly on sweet Addison but also got some family shots in there, too. Mom and Dad loved my ruffle teepee (a client fave), and we also used my mint green children’s chair and just a few vintage styled props. Have I mentioned yet how much I loved this unique baby photography session? I love all the props that we used, including the themed carrier from here, the soft colors of clothing that they chose… the creams… the pinks… the DONUTS, oh my! I just loved every inch of it. Mom wanted to do a cake smash, but without the mess…so she brought a variety of donuts for Addison to “smash”. I loved how different it was but still so incredibly adorable! And much easier to clean too! Win for all! <3  I think being a fine art Baby Photographer in Houston Tx is so much fun, especially for sessions like this!When I reflect on this session, it really makes me feel so grateful. Grateful for these wonderful clients of mine who are just so sweet, and who value documenting these beautiful photography sessions as their babies turn one year old.  I am so grateful that they choose me to be their Baby Photographer in Houston Tx.  And even though some babies are just a little unsure about the crazy/awesome lady with the camera (me), I still manage to get those beautiful smiles, their sweet spirit and capture who they are at such a young age.  And that's what this job is all about folks! ;-)Here are the highlights from this sweet session!

Baby Photographer in Houston Tx

I feel so blessed to be a Houston Tx Baby Photographer. I especially love doing this job when I have clients who book me for milestone baby sessions during that first year.  I just love watching these sweet babies grow!Ava was turning one when these images were taken, so mom requested that I get some focusing on just her, a few with her big sister Maddie, and also a few family portraits.  Sometimes, being a natural-light family Houston Tx Baby Photographer, can be challenging with our frequent rainy conditions. While it did rain a ton during the days leading up to this session, we were able to work around the puddles and capture this special time for this amazing family.This session was taken at a favorite location of this Houston Tx Baby Photographer.  This session included some of my client’s most requested props. Some worth mentioning are: my cream ruffle teepee, small green chair, and one of my cream dresses from my baby and child studio collection.   Because I am a full service Houston Tx Baby Photographer, I offer wardrobe pieces to my clients to give that organic and timeless touch to each of my sessions.  We also incorporated Ava’s cake smash photography session in this collection.  Since she wasn’t feeling her cake smash, the whole family got involved to create some of my favorite candid family photos ever!Here are the highlights from this one year and family session!
