I think the first thing to note here is the custom made rocking horse that this sweet family brought to Will's session.  I have a studio here in Pearland, but I also am an On Location Houston Tx Baby Photographer.  I take to my favorite field in Houston for most of my shoots because I love to work with the dreamy evening sunlight...this particular night was more overcast than usual but I still love how this session turned out!

Will is the first baby, so it was really fun to get to know this sweet family over the course of the year.  I also photographed Will's newborn portraits here in Houston.  We styled this session with all things boy in mind.  From props like a rocking horse all the way down to blue jean overalls for the clothing choice.  I just don't think we could have done better if we tried.

It is such a pleasure to own a studio in Pearland and also be an On Location Houston Tx Baby Photographer while watching these kiddos grow.  Being that the first year is so crazy important of a child's life, and having two children of my own, I know how fast the time flies after they turn one.  With that being said, I always encourage parents to participate in the one year session as they need to be in pictures WITH their children!

When Dad introduced Will's horse friend to him, Will was pretty obsessed with his new friend.  We finished this On Location Houston Tx Baby Photographer session off with all things boy.  From wooden crates, his trusty overalls, and of course.. bare feet.  It was just magical!

On Location Houston Tx Baby Photographer

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

Ahhh, This session was so beautiful.  I am finally getting caught up enough to start sharing some pictures of these amazing 2016 families.  I am a Houston Tx Maternity Photographer and specialize in all things babies.  That means bumps to those beautiful and squishy babies that come visit me in my Houston newborn photography studio once they are born and are earth side. <3Meet Margie and Josh! Their session was so beautiful.  We went with accents of cranberry.  Mom wore cranberry color pants and a cranberry colored maternity dress for a winter-y look and feel to the session.  What says winter more than that deep cranberry red?  Mom and dad were just so extremely excited to welcome their new bundle.  Being a Houston Tx Maternity Photographer, I also have to admit that I get super excited when I see my clients have that beautiful glow and excitement about them.  I just think to myself how wonderful their life will be in just a couple short months when their new baby arrives.  A crazy and immeasurable happiness will wash over them when they hold their baby for the first time.  It's really beautiful!!!Back to the session.  Mom brought a fur shawl to incorporate and I made a floral crown to match and the results were magical.  Having my special field I use for a bunch of my Houston Tx Maternity Photographer sessions, it really went well when using that same location for this session.  I also photographed her newborn session in my Houston newborn photography studio and can’t wait to share it!

Colin and I took to a more urban setting for his photography session.  I typically specialize in newborn photography, but I do wear the hat of an urban Houston senior photographer occasionally.  I should thank my past teaching career for opening those doors for me.  Colin was an awesome student and I really enjoyed catching up with him for his high school senior session.Colin was a Dawson HS senior last year and I had the pleasure of documenting this time of life for him. Here is the back story...Colin was one of my algebra students from 4 years ago.  It definitely makes me feel old!!  His mom remembered that I left my teaching career to be a photographer.  Since I am an urban Houston senior photographer on occasion, it was an honor to document this exciting time for them.  I was really happy to see how much Colin has changed and matured over the last few years and I know that he will accomplish many things in his upcoming years.When I do wear the hat of an urban Houston senior photographer, I do not find that using props is a must.  Instead, I generally use the location of choice to accent the portraits.  I also aim to document the personalities of each of the seniors I photograph.  Look below to see highlights from this urban Houston senior photographer session.

Urban Houston Senior Photographer

Being a new parent is so special.  I remember when I had my first baby how overwhelming, exciting, and scary it was!  There are just so many emotions to feel at that time.  So, when mom and dad found out that I specialize in beautiful Houston newborn photography and decided to book with me, it was such an honor.  It's really special when first time parents trust me to do such an important job.  I am forever grateful to them and to all my clients who book me to fulfill their beautiful Houston newborn photography needs!Keegan was such a beautiful little baby.  For her session, we chose colors that were soft and girly and would compliment her skin tone.  She had the most loving and genuinely amazing parents that I have ever met, so it was such a pleasure to work with this sweet family.  They were so in love and thrilled to have her to hold and to love on.  It was such a joy seeing how obsessed they were with this sweet baby girl.  As some of you may know, to get those beautiful Houston newborn photography shots, we like for baby to sleep for most of the session, but sometimes, the reality of that just does not always happen the way we want it to.  Keegan did sleep a great deal of her session, but she did wake for a portion of it just to say hi!  I do love capturing their open and awake eyes for some of the session, so I definitely was not complaining.  We used a white antique bucket, some lace, and included a small crate for this session.  Keep scrolling for the highlights, and make sure you get in touch if you'd like to book a session with me!

Beautiful Houston Newborn Photography

Happy Hump Day!  Looking forward to the weekend and being able to snuggle my babies!  This session was done at my natural light location here in Houston that I just absolutely love.  Being a Natural Light Houston Baby Photographer, the options are limitless, really, so I find that when I use my favorite locations, my sessions are kind of unique to me.  Since I know the light so well there, it just allows my creativity to flow and really shine.  Any who, enough about me, and more about this session and why I love being a Natural Light Houston Baby Photographer!We incorporated big brother and he was just so incredibly sweet and adorable.  A precious relationship that these two already share that really is special.  We used light blues, pinks, and yellows to style this session.  The colors went so well with the amazing lemonade stand themed birthday party.   We used a few props that I and mom brought along to really allow for the idea of this session stand out.  We used a white bucket, lemons, and fresh flowers.  Mom even brought a full-sized lemonade stand that dad built to the session!    Of course, we also used real lemons and lemonade too! We finished the session with a cake smash and she LOVED the cake.  This was such a fun themed session and being a Natural Light Houston Baby Photographer, it really made my heart ZING! :)  And I love when my clients vision come to life and I can create what they have in their minds.  It was just absolutely perfect.

Natural Light Houston Baby Photographer

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

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!

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

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!

Baby Photographer in Houston Tx

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and I do have to admit, I am happy that we are already almost to the middle of the this week because I love spending time with my two munchkins over the weekend! Just to keep the variety coming what better way to do that then to one of my Houston Family Photography sessions!Meet the Moss family. I first met them during Cannon’s newborn almost two years ago.   It was such a pleasure reconnecting and catching up with them again. Having a gorgeous family to take pictures of tends to make my job a lot easier, because I find that my camera just loves this family why wouldn’t it?  They’re such beautiful people!! ;)  I do love switching it up from time to time from the usual newborn photography and love doing my occasional Houston Family Photography session every now and again!A little about the session: we chose to keep it simple to get the essence and spirit of their family, documenting them just the way they are. The session was primarily focused on the little boys, and it was so much fun because they shared such an adorable bond.  Because of that, it really made this family session an enjoyable experience. Little boys are so much fun to photograph because they tend to find their own knick knacks to find and play with during the session (leaves, sticks, rocks... just little boy things). This family always nails their wardrobe and this time it surely did not disappoint. They chose to dress in layers (which I LOVE) and it was a windy day so it gave this session just a small extra touch to the session.Scroll down to see the highlights from this adorable family and baby session!

Houston Family Photography

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!

Houston Tx Baby Photographer

I love being a Houston Photographer and since specialize in newborn and maternity pictures, I always find that switching it up for the occasional engagement photo shoot is a great change of pace and really helps my creativity flow in a little bit of a different way. So for this blog post, meet Landry and Gio!!Landry and Gio booked me as their Houston Photographer before they flew off to their destination wedding (jealous!!!). I was so happy to do this for them and loved to listen to their story of being high school sweethearts. They were just such an adorable and sweet couple, and I sincerely hope that they are enjoying their first year of being married.I also loved that they brought sweet Chico (their fur baby) to their session.  We incorporated him into documenting this perfect time for this couple. He was such a loving guy and listened so well. I love to include these personal touches to each of my portrait sessions, as it really helps to show each person/couple just exactly as they are. I also find that when such special things are brought into sessions, it just really helps to loosen everyone up, and also to “break the ice,” so to speak.I really loved the way that Landry and Gio dressed with their vibrant jewel tones for their engagement session. I also was extremely pleased that there was an additional outfit change. This just really helps to give the gallery a more formal, yet casual touch. I found that my navy blue settee went so well with the colors and really made for a unique setting in the forest and with that dreamy sunset that every photographer loves.

Houston Photographer

See, I am off to a fabulous start with my blogging catch up!!! Next up for some blogging goodness is sweet little Maci and her big brother (how lucky… these parents got their boy and their girl!).  This sweet family came to my Baby Photographer Houston studio for this sweet session.Big brother was so well behaved and did so amazing for his sibling shots and sweet Maci was such a sleeper which made those posing transitions flow and helped to make the session a relaxed and enjoyable experience for this darling family.  This was just such an enjoyable session in my Baby Photographer Houston studio.I love all girlie things and so did Maci’s mom, so this session was styled with that in mind. From pinks, touches of blue, and some beautiful neutrals to keep those images classic and timeless. And of course I incorporated a little of my style into it too! I even got to include the bunny lovie for a few shots… and omg… I.LOVE. me some lovies. They are just so cute and really let the age of these sweet newborns shine. Being a Houston newborn photographer, I find that I love to use the small knitted stuffed animals because it really shows just how tiny each baby is when they come see me. I love to document how little they are in these first few days since I know how rapidly each baby changes!I cannot begin to express my gratitude to these families for letting me love on their most precious treasures. Scroll below to see the highlights from this darling little baby’s Houston newborn portrait session!

Baby Photographer Houston

I am soooooo excited to share my very first promotional video with the world!  I've been wanting to do something like this for a while, and it all finally came together in the best way possible!  My good friend Catherine of Catherine Lubbat Photography spent several hours with me in the studio to capture an entire newborn session from start to finish.  This session happened to be a twin boy & girl session and they were the BEST little models!  They never cried the entire time.  Doing Newborn Photography Houston really is what I feel that I am called to do, so this video is so much more than just a video about my business.  It's about ME! :)If you have ever been curious how Newborn Photography Houston works, what my studio looks like, or how we get those sweet sleepy baby shots, check it out below!  I am beyond thrilled with how this turned out and hope you will enjoy a look into my world and watching me do what I LOVE to do....make beautiful art with your precious miracles!  I would love to have you come visit, so if you are in the area, or feel free to stop by my Newborn Photography Houston studio!**Disclaimer: Watching this video may make you want to have another baby.  Don't say I didn't warn you!  ;-) Enjoy!
