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!

Newborn Photographer Houston

It's hard to believe our baby girl just celebrated her first birthday last week! She has changed so much from her NICU days as a preemie baby, its almost unbelievable. I never have sat down and blogged her birth story from start to finish and I still intend to do that before my mommy brain forgets everything. Let's just say that God was definitely watching over her little life. If things had not gone the way they did that evening on September 2, 2014, we very likely would not be celebrating her first birthday or any birthday for that matter. The first 48 hours after her birth, the doctor's were saying horrible awful things like "we are walking a fine line at this point" and "there is nothing more we can do but wait". Those first few days were truly some of the worst and most stressful days of our lives. But now we rejoice! Our miracle baby is perfectly healthy, happy, on track and we are so THANKFUL and BLESSED to be her parents. She's a ball of spunk, fun, and a seriously determined individual...but wouldn't expect anything less from her given she’s been a feisty-fighter from day one!  I also am extremely lucky to be a miracle Houston baby photographer because this whole year I documented her growth and these pictures are true treasures to me and my family!I did this blog post for myself, mainly so I could compile her first year photos in one place. But I also wanted to share with other preemie moms that there is so much HOPE for these sweet babies (and that you should also try and hire or be a miracle Houston baby photographer- if just for this one event).  Some of these photos were taken with a cell phone so excuse the low quality.  I was actually without my camera the first two weeks while she was in the NICU because I had my hubby send it to Canon to be cleaned while I was on bed rest...and the very day he mailed it off, she was born.  Go figure!Happy birthday to our dear Penelope!!

The loveliest baby girl came to my studio for her newborn photos earlier this year. She was just about two weeks new and such a little doll. It was a true pleasure being her baby girl houston photographer!  She even flashed a few smiles during our time together and those are always some of my favorites images!This is the first baby for mom and dad and they were experiencing all the new feelings that come along with a newborn: excitement, exhaustion, and crazy love! They were such sweet parents and also happened to be fellow Aggies so we had so much in common! This sweet family was a joy to get to know and photograph. I hope they will always cherish these images of their baby girl and remember me to be their baby girl houston photographer if there is a new baby!  This time just goes by so fast. Congrats M Family! Here are a few (or a several!) favorites from our session!  If you'd like to see highlights from this baby girl houston photographer session, keep scrolling below!And if you would like to book me for a session, be sure to get in touch!  And if you would like to find out more about my baby girl houston photographer sessions, do reach out or drop me a line!  I would love to chat with you.

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!!

I was so honored when I was contacted about photographing this sweet baby boy's newborn session. He happens to be boy #3 for this new family and they could not be more excited to welcome him into all the FUN! I had the pleasure of meeting both big brothers at the session and they are just the sweetest little guys ever! It was important to capture a nice sibling shot for their gorgeous mom and I think we definitely succeeded. :-) Dad happens to be an Aggie graduate (whoop!) as well as an avid fisherman, so we incorporated both of these themes into baby boy’s newborn session. Mom brought the fishing props along to get the perfect fishing themed newborn photo! We had a great session with little Jace; he was a great sleeper and such a handsome little guy. Thanks W family for a great session!

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 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!

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!
