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 Fine Art Studio Newborn Portrait Photographer | Baby S

This little girls is such an absolute bundle of joy! We loosely snuggled her up in various swaddling blankets, and let her do her thing! Baby S slept so peacefully for the majority of the shoot. But we were lucky enough to catch her giggling for some extra special images. The floral headband complimented her delicate body perfectly. It was just enough without distracting from her precious smile. Time can get away from us so quickly, so I am so happy that I was able to capture this moment forever while she is still so little bitty, as her Houston Fine Art Studio Newborn Portrait Photographer. !It was amazing to watch this family interact with one another, and see the love that overfilled that room created pure magic. You could tell that their world was finally complete when they held her in their arms. It’s so funny how such a little person can completely flip your world upside down. It was obvious how much joy she has brought them already! I hope to get to follow up with this family in the future, and maybe even see little Miss S for her one-year birthday shoot! How exciting!Below are some of the family’s favorite pictures from the shoot, and I hope you enjoy them as much as they do!

Sweet Baby S and her parents were an absolute joy to work with. I adored being her Houston Fine Art Studio Newborn Portrait Photographer.

Houston Child Portrait Photographer | Ivy Turns Two!

Big birthday wishes to Miss Ivy who just turned 2 years old! I have had the pleasure of working with this family for three years now, and it’s always one of the biggest highlights of my year. They are the most adorable family, and are always so stylish. I always look forward to being able to see all of the fun outfits that they come up with for their photo shoot. The love that this family has for one another creates such a sense of pure magic throughout every single session that we share together, and this one is no exception! What a treat for this Houston Child Portrait Photographer!Little Ivy had so much fun with all of the props, which made me even more excited to see the results!  One of my favorite shots was with the giant swan, we were really able to capture her sweet and sassy personality, but it was pretty obvious that Ivy’s favorite part was being able to have that lollipop all to herself!We took these photos at Sugar and Cloth color wall, which is sadly no longer in existence. I am so thankful that I got to shoot some breathtaking photos there before they tore it down. As you can see, it was a great place to capture some vibrant photos. This was the perfect backdrop for a toddler’s birthday session!

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!

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!

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 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.

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

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

Summer is upon us, folks! <3  Summertime for me marks so many fun moments and I just love getting to enjoy it with my babies.  Speaking of babies, I decided to share a sweet baby girl Houston Tx Newborn Photography Studio session with you today!We took to my Houston newborn studio to do this session (where I do all of my sessions).  Let me set this up for you- mama and baby arrive, I find out that they follow the newborn prep to a tee, it's warm and cozy in the studio for baby, a little hot for me and mama and dad (haha), and it just all feels right.  This was one of those sessions where everything goes exactly as planned.  A sleepy baby girl, a cooperative big brother, easy posing, and a gorgeous family.  A newborn photographer's dream come true! <3I absolutely loved this entire session and will definitely remember it as one of my favorites from early this year.   This family contacted me as a referral from another photographer friend in the area who happened to be booked.  I love it when the local photography community works together to support each other!   It also works out that this family happens to live just a few minutes away from my former home studio so it was super convenient for them but also nice to make a new mommy friend in my area.  For her session, I made sure to use a variety of colors and props keeping it all girly and sweet.

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

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

Happy day before Friday everyone! I'm prepping the studio for a newborn session but found a little time to blog...still catching up from all the fun in 2015!  I wore the hat of a Houston Baby and Family Photographer for this session.  Have I mentioned lately how much I love my job?We went to downtown Houston for this session and we just had so much fun. I have been photographing this family when they were a family of four and got the privilege to watch them grow to a family of five! Being a Houston Baby and family photographer and seeing these families grow and their babies grow really does make my heart so incredibly happy.In this Houston family session, we incorporated two outfits. The first one, we coordinated white outfits for just the sweet babies and then we added bolder colors for their family portraits. We also used an adorably cute bucket for the baby portraits and stuck to the beautiful scenery that this Houston location had to offer. With all that being said, this one was a bit stressful, actually! Because this sweet family was getting ready to move up north for hubby’s job, we were on a bit of a time constraint. And our original date got rained out but on a very positive note- we happened to get it in just two days before they moved! I was soooo happy I could photograph their family one last time in Houston and to help document their lives at this pivotal moment before a big relocation. I sure so miss them and can’t wait to work with them in a few years after they move back! We also got some of the cutest sibling photos of their adorable children. Highlights are below!

Houston Baby and Family Photographer

Man, this week has flown by! My baby girl has been recovering from one of those nasty viruses going around this season, so it’s hard to really tell where all my time has really gone this week. I do not mind the extra snuggles, though, so I guess that’s the silver lining when the babes are sick. Any who, work must go on and as such, this blog post is next! I got to meet Ezra and document the beautiful Pang family's Houston Newborn and baby Photography session.This Houston Newborn and baby Photography session was taken here at my newborn studio in Houston / Pearland. This session was styled around my personal favorite tones. baby boy muted tones. I feel that muted tones really just keep that timeless and classic look and that’s what I am all about. If you did not know or have not worked with me yet, I am a fine art photographer that specializes in getting these images on your walls and off your computer. I pride myself in creating works of art that can be hung or displayed in your home for years to come, without looking outdated. I think timeless and classic colors (neutrals) really achieves that which is why I love it so! <3Ezra was baby boy #2 (a dad’s dream, eh?!) and big brother was so so sweet and we were able to get several really amazing sibling shots. We also were able to incorporate family pictures into the mix which is always such a blessing since this time is so fleeting and emotions are still so fresh. Baby boy was awake for some of the time for newborn session, but he had great eye control and was happy so this allowed us to document some wonderful awake photos of him!As you can see in the pictures below we also were able to get some prop shots. Because… I mean… what’s cuter than a baby in a bucket, right?!

Houston Newborn and baby Photography

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. Keep scrolling down to see highlights from this special session.

Houston baby and Maternity Photographer

Something you may have not known about me-- I used to be a junior high algebra teacher!! One of my favorite parts about having a Houston Baby Boy Photography Studio is when my former co-workers and even students choose me to capture their fine art portraits. I love catching up with them and photographing their beautiful memories! My good friend Jen and I used to teach together so I was so honored when she came to visit me in my Houston Baby Boy Photography Studio last year. I also shot her daughter, Callan’s, newborn session several years ago in my early years as a photographer. I absolutely adore watching my clients add to their families and to watch their babies grow. Its one of the main reasons my job as a Houston newborn photographer is such a blessing to me!This newborn session was taken at my Houston Baby Boy Photography Studio located just South of downtown Houston. We used various tones of gray, blue, tan and a little bit of Texas Tech and Notre Dame gear too (mom is a TTU grad, Dad loves ND). Sweet Callan was also included in some of the shots. She was just the sweetest thing and loved on her brother so much. It’s not always EASY to get sibling shots, but we got several from this one. It was a super fun session to say the least! <3Below you will find the highlights from this perfect newborn and baby session.

Houston Baby Boy Photography Studio

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!
