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!

These clients have been with me since the beginning of my business and I'm so thankful they keep coming back, especially when it means I get to meet & work with their new babies! They not only happen to be beautiful children, but some of the sweetest too. They came to visit me at my Pearland studio earlier this year for baby sister's newborn session and we had so much fun! You can see big brother was super cooperative and sooooooo good with his new sister. We stuck with softer neutral tones with hints of pink to match the colors of her nursery, and I love the way it turned out! I hope you enjoy a sneak into their session!

Meet Beatrice, a gorgeous baby girl! She came to visit me in my Pearland studio earlier this year and I had so much fun getting to know her sweet parents and planning her soft and sweet newborn session. This little lady is the 3rd baby in her family BUT she happens to be the first girl so that made it fun to work with some girly colors and fabrics. As you can see, she has some seriously kissable cheeks that made me want to snuggle her all day long! And it's always so much fun to meet new clients and then become good friends with them too. I'm so glad I had the pleasure of working with this family, making new friends, and getting to do what I love everyday! I hope you enjoy a sneak into her newborn session. <3

I had such a great time working this sweet family earlier this year. Baby girl Q and her family came to visit me at my studio for her newborn photos and she was so full of smiles!! I love photographing a smiley newborn! We stuck with soft neutral tones for her newborn session; creams, pinks, with slight pops of color...and I love how the colors looked against her skin tone. Both her mom and dad graduated from Texas A&M, so we definitely had lots in common and to chat about. During our conversation we found out we have several mutual friends from college, what a small world! Because of their Aggie background I planned a cute A&M themed set up, and that's where she gave us the biggest smile. :-) Looks like someone is already excited to cheer for her favorite school. So adorable <3 Congrats T family! Here are a few favorites from our session – Enjoy!

When this mommy-to-be first contacted me about photographing her precious TWIN babies last year, I was soooo excited! I don't get to photograph twins too often, so when the opportunity comes along, I jump on it! Working with twins gives me a chance to think outside the box in terms of posing and incorporating props...while also giving me a little bit of a challenge. Getting two babies calm, sleepy, and posed can definitely take some practice, but as you can see the outcome is worth all of the effort. Mom wanted to stick with neutral colors for their session and I love how it turned out, simple, natural, and timeless. The crazy thing is, these cuties are going to be celebrating their first birthday in just a few months...! I can't wait to photograph them again for their one year session. I hope you enjoy a few of my favorites from their newborn session!

Here's another sweet baby girl session for you to ooooh and ahhhhh over. I had so much fun working her awesome parents and getting to catch up with her mommy during Baby R's newborn session! I know her mom from our Team In Training endurance event training days (think marathons, triathlons, etc)...ha, it feels like a million years ago since I trained for anything! Anyway, when mom told me she was bringing her wedding dress to the session, I was excited. Then she told me it was all lace, and I practically squeeled! Lace, creamy colors, a special meaning...how perfect! I absolutely love how they turned out. Baby girl weighed in at over 8 pounds at birth, so when she came to see me, she was already so chunky and snuggly! And as you can see, she was/is also a gorgeous baby – I even caught the sweetest smile while she was in her daddy's arms…just perfection. Here are a few sneak photos from our session from last year– Enjoy!

This session was something I had in my mind for several months before I actually made it happen last year. I was needing to photograph something that was creative, different than my usual sessions, and just for me. When I started planning, I knew I wanted it to be fun, girly, and with a touch of vintage (anything vintage is an obsession of mine right now!). These two little ladies were the perfect models and a delight to work with! They let me do some "posed" shots, but they also got to play and be themselves as carefree children should. Plus, they had fun getting to dress up and play "princess". :) My awesome hubby made the rope swing for me (thanks honey!), and everything else you see in these images belongs to my ever-growing prop collection...which means all of these props are available to my clients for their sessions, woo hoo! I hope you enjoy a little glimpse into one of my favorite children's sessions.

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!

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!

I'm excited to introduce you to this handsome little man! I had the pleasure of working with this cutie a few months ago for his very first official Houston newborn photography session. He was such a handsome baby and slept so great for his newborn session. We did his session in the my studio located south of Houston and even got a few shots with his gorgeous mommy too!  I loved the variety of shots and colors that we used in his session…and check out the adorable fox hat that Brooks modeled for us.☺I have everything we need in the studio for your newborn session; a large collection of hats, bonnets, props, wraps, fabrics, etc.  My goal is to make your newborn session as stress free and easy as possible.  But I do encourage my parents to bring a family heirloom or a special prop that may to incorporate into their newborn's sessions.Some parents do not want to be photographed during the newborn session, but I highly encourage at least one parent photos.  I know new parents are tired during those first few weeks and getting yourself ready photo-ready can be daunting.  But I promise you will cherish those images, as they are only little newborns this one time!  What a treasure you have to be able to show them how tiny they looked in their mommy's arms as they grow into tiny humans.I hope you enjoy a few sneak peeks! I feel so blessed to get to work with so many precious miracles and pretty families!

I've been away from blogging for the past few months...and I know you've missed me! Adjusting to life with two kids definitely takes a few months but I think we are starting to see the light again! I have soooo many sessions to blog from the last half of 2014 so get excited!  This little lady was one of the last newborn sessions I shot before I went into pre-term labor last July. Meet Aubree, a sweet baby girl with some of the nicest parents I've ever met!For baby A's Houston newborn studio session, we focused on sweet girlie tones: dusty pinks, purples, and cream.  As my photography evolves, I am finding that I am more drawn to prop shots.  A baby in a crate or a bucket makes my heart sing!  You will see we used a woven basket, and a crate for this sweet girl's session and I love the way it turned out.  And you will notice how gorgeous this girl's mama is!  She doesn't even look like she had a baby ever...much less 10 days before these portraits were taken.  I truly enjoyed meeting this sweet family and hope to see them again soon.Enjoy a quick peek into this lovely Houston newborn photo session.

Meet three cute brothers and their awesome family of 5 that I recently got to photograph this summer!  This mommy happens to be a good friend so I was thrilled when she asked me to photograph her family and kiddos for their annual photo session. Mom wanted a fun summertime session in her very own backyard in South Houston with a focus on letting her children be, well...BOYS. These kiddos showed me all kinds of tricks on their playground, played hard, and had a blast...and there's no better way to wrap-up an outdoor photo/play session than with cold popsicles!  Their family photos are some of my favorites as of lately because they were just so loving and natural together.  These boys were full of energy, laughter, and ALL boy and made my job as a Houston family photographer super easy!  I had so much fun spending a summer afternoon with their family of 5 and I hope you enjoy and sneak into a few of my favorites from their session.

I had so much fun working with this this sweet newborn baby girl. She came to visit me in my Pearland studio at 10 days old and was such an easy and gorgeous newborn to work with. I know mom had a hard time choosing her favorites from the session. I especially love when big brother joined us in the studio for a few sibling shots. I have to say, he's definitely sweet on his new baby sister and it seriously melted my heart. This family is so blessed!  Mom loved the new teal colored fabric I had just added to my collection and it was certainly fun for me to try something new with the vibrant color combinations.  She also brought in the purple bloomers and matching teal headband.  Most of the time I style the sessions before a client arrives so that we can move seamlessly from one pose to the next.  It makes the session flow so much smoother!  For this session, the mom has some great ideas so I made sure to incorporate her ideas into the session.  Here are some of my favorites photos from her Houston newborn portrait session. I hope you enjoy!

I just love and adore photographing Senior sessions. I think you will see why when you read this blog post. I loved every single photo from Morgan's senior session this past spring in League City. Her outfits were perfect, hair and make-up were stunning, and she happens to be going to my favorite college in the fall, Texas A&M University! Whoop!! One of the best things about being a Houston senior photographer is getting to meet these beautiful people are are on the cusp of starting a new journey in life!  She will soon be joining the Aggie family and I could not be more excited for her.  I had so much working with her for her Senior portrait session. We even threw in a few photos of her and big sister too..who happens to be another Aggie, Gig 'Em! Good luck next year Morgan! Your are beautiful on the inside and out!Taryn Melgoza Photography is a newborn, baby, children, maternity, senior and family photographer located in Houston, TX and serving the greater Houston area.  For more information, please visit her website.

This baby girl was such a stunning newborn. I seriously did very little editing on her skin because it was really that perfect. And her lips are simply kissable! She did amazing for her very first official photo session.  She was such an easy baby to work with and her parents were lovely too. I so enjoyed working with this family and was honored they chose me to be their Houston newborn photographer! She is their first baby so they really wanted to make sure all her little newborn details were documents and preserved.  Newborns grow into babies so fast which is why documenting them while they are new is so important.  I hope you enjoy a little sneak into this beautiful baby girl's newborn session.Taryn Melgoza Photography is a newborn, baby, children, maternity, senior and family photographer located in Houston, TX and serving the greater Houston area.  Visit her website here for more information!

I had the pleasure of working with this family in late 2013 and am just now getting around to posting their blog post....but its better late than never.  My job as a Houston newborn photographer is a dream come true because I get to work with the best people and snuggle babies all day long!  This baby girl just so beautiful and perfect. Mom brought the "Allie" name sign from her nursery to use during the session and it turned out to be one of my favorite shots. Congratulations to the G family on the birth of their sweet newborn daughter.

I was so honored to work with this family. They were some of the sweetest most deserving parents I have ever been blessed to work with and it just makes me so honored to be a Houston newborn photographer. Documenting these phases of life are just priceless!  This was the very first set of twin newborns I have ever photographed and I loved the outcome from our session. They slept so great for me and as you can see, are both as cute as can be!  I hope I get to work with another set of twin newborns again soon...hint hint! ;-)
