Houstons Best Fine Art Newborn Photographer

I am so excited because I have so many blogs to be sharing with everyone!  This sweet baby girl that I am sharing was so precious and she slept so incredibly well.  I am always so thankful for these sweet babies who just like to wiggle their way into my heart.  Being Houstons Best Fine Art Newborn Photographer, I had the pleasure of spending the morning with this perfect little family. 

About this Houston Newborn Session

Have you ever just sat and stared at your husband as he interacts with your babies?  It's one of my favorite things to do when we spend time together as a family.  His hands in relation to my children are so powerful, so big compared to theirs, and so used.  Theirs are so tender, so gentle, and so fresh.  The way only he knows how to make them giggle, the way my daughter looks at him with her beautiful brown eyes... it makes me melt into a puddle the size of Texas.I can't forget the way that my husband teaches my son to be a man.  To help in the yard, to show him how to love me and to protect his baby sister.  And babies... they just know how to melt their daddies in a way that no one else can.  When my first born came earth side, my husband just sat and cried.  Overcome with emotion and in turn, so was I.So when mom requested and convinced her husband to take a unique shot of him and baby, I was thrilled and just know that they will treasure that art that we created together forever.  I am so grateful for each one of my clients.

Fine Art Newborn Photographer Houston

I am so excited to share this sweet Fine Art Newborn Photographer Houston session with you all.  If you missed this sweet family's maternity session, you can find it here!  It was such a b eautiful session, so to say that I was super excited for this newborn session, is a little bit of an understatement. 

About this Newborn Session

This sweet baby was a doll to work with.  I know I say it often, but it really takes me back to when my kids were just little and tiny.  And for that, I am so grateful.  When I was a little girl, I never envisioned myself being a businesswoman.  I never envisioned myself being anything, really... but I always knew that I wanted to be a mother.  I pictured my house filled with the sounds of little laughter, of my curly headed little girl running to greet her daddy from a long day of work, the heavenly squeals that erupt from her now are something that were made from my dreams.The way her fingers curl around my neck when I am rocking her to sleep, the way she rubs my cheek when we lay in my bed is just a touch of what I could possibly imagine when I was little.  And when we snuggle in the bed, and she leans over to kiss me, just to say that she loves me... I am convinced that that is what heaven on earth must FEEL like.I am so excited for this journey for you, Everleigh and for your sweet mama.  You, my new friend, are seriously what dreams are made of and I am so honored I got to be one of the first people you met.

Houstons Best Fine Art Birthday Photographer

It's incredible how many babies and families I get to meet with my line of work.  Sometimes, I think to myself how blessed me and business are.  These are tangible memories my clients and I create together, and it's such an honor to play such an integral role in their lives.  Sweet Clara and her mommy saw me a bunch this year so it was so fun to watch her grow and I was so excited for her last session to complete out the baby plan that they chose.I loved this session so much so, that I have one of them hanging in my studio (the wedding shoe shot)!!!  This family was a complete dream to work with.

About this Houston Child Session

I look back on my children's first year of life.  The first couple of weeks- adjusting to the sleepless nights.. partly because the babes needed fed, but partly because I was terrified of the newness.  I blinked and before I knew it, they were crawling.  Between being a newborn and crawling, I got to see those first smiles, the way my babies lit up when I would pick them up, the safety and comfort I provided was a feeling I cannot ever forget.After they started crawling, it seemed like I blinked again and they were walking.  This first year is so easily forgotten and goes by so incredibly fast.  So when these sweet mamas choose a baby plan, I know that they will cling to these images in the same way that I do mine.  It's such an honor to be this person for them. <3  Be sure to scroll below to see the highlights from sweet Clara's session!

Houstons Best Fine Art Maternity Photographer - Jessica W

Happy Wednesday everyone!  Its been a busy week of sessions so I think it's safe to say the fall crazy busy season has begun!   Always tough deciding which sessions to blog, but this one was so beautiful, so I naturally picked it.  This was one of my most memorable Fine Art Maternity sessions and I just loved everything about it.  Let me paint the picture for you.

About this Houston Fine Art Maternity Session

Golden evening light, pink flowy dress, your prince charming, beautiful mama... it's seriously something out of a fairy tale.  So much so, I would go as far as saying this reminded me of Cinderella and Prince Charming.  I remember watching this movie as a little girl.  It was my favorite Disney movies.  To me, it just felt magical.  And what little girl doesn't dream about magic.  Little did I know, when I was watching that movie, one day, I would create my own fairy tale.  It was much different than in the movies, but a fairy tale none-the-less.The pitter-pat of tiny little toes running through the house, the look my prince charming gives my babies when they are snuggling on the couch, the softness my daughter has when she plays with my hair, it's seriously what dreams are made of.  This sweet mama and her prince charming will get to experience that when their new arrival comes and I just want to jump for joy for each client who walks through my doors.  It's hard to describe what that overwhelming sense of the purest of love feels like.  And it's only to be experienced when you have children.  It's just... everything. <3Hair and makeup (which I always recommend) by: Bridgette Stockton of Beauty Call Hair and Make-up

Houston Fine Art Newborn Photography - Baby Landon

Welcome to my little, humble spot on the web.  I am so glad you're here and reading this.  Blogging is something that is very time consuming but also very important.  Important to you, as a potential client, and important to me to keep myself accountable and present in my galleries and to monitor (and appreciate) my growth.  Over the course of the years, I have done a multitude of types of sessions.  And over the years, I finally figured out what my favorite and specialty is- the art of newborn photography.  After this realization, I also knew that aside from just a newborn photographer, I wanted to specialize in Houston Fine Art Newborn Photography.

About this newborn photography session

You know what I love most about newborn pictures?  The smell of their sweet fuzzy little heads.  That's different, right?  haha, I embrace my uniqueness and let me explain.  You see, I have two kids of my own.  And each time I do a session, it makes me remember my own babies.  It helps me to hold onto those moments that I desperately cling on to.  Moments that, at the time, didn't necessarily register how HUGE they were going to be, but moments that I desperately NEED to remember.That first cry.  The first glorious cry that you hear when your baby is born.  That warmth when you do skin-to-skin for the first time- physically and a warmth in your heart that is so overwhelming and so time-stop worthy- all you can do is cry when you look at this little human in your arms.  The toe curling pain when they latch on for the first time, but you keep doing it because that's what our bodies are designed to do and you'd do anything for this little thing.  And if you chose not to nurse, let me not forget those sweet little noises that our babies make when they drink milk of any kind.  That noise that sounds like comfort and love all coming from this tiny soul.  And then the smell of their fuzzy heads.  The freshness, the smell that I'll never forget... I can't forget it.  The smell that reminded me that they once lived in my belly, but now, I hold them in my arms.  The feeling of comfort that only I or my husband could provide.  Those moments- let me never forget.  Pictures take me back in time and I am so grateful for them.  Thank you for bringing your babies to me so I can go back in time and remember just how much moments mean. 

What makes me different than other newborn photographers in Houston?

What exactly is Fine Art Photography?  When you come to me, I want to make your experience like no other that you have had.  I want you to remember our time together and my clients leave my studio at the end of their session clients-turned-friends.  We meet and talk on the phone to plan each session together, spend as much time as we need at your session and after.  I help from wardrobe all the way up to which pictures you want hung in your home.  It's an experience that I know I want to offer to every person who walks into my world.

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

Houston Baby Girl Photographer

I have started to catch up (again) on blogging and am so extremely excited to get into the fall craze with client pictures that is coming very soon.  Being a Houston photographer, juggling work, family life, and everything in between, there is just always a bit of crazy!!  I would not have it any other way! ;)  Up next on the blog is this Houston Baby Girl Photographer session, sweet Charlize. 

About this Houston Newborn Photography Session

We took to my South Houston (Pearland) studio to document this fleeting time for this sweet family.  This session was shot in May and I just loved the way it all turned out.  Charlize was SUCH a beautiful baby and I was honored when my husband's cousin reached out to me to be their Houston Baby Girl Photographer!  We did this session in the studio about 10 days after Charlize was born, which I have found to an ideal time to photograph a newborn session.  Photographing a newborn around this age is important because it’s easier to create those adorable posed photos while they are still sleepy and squishy.It is SO essential we document that newborn phase before they grow out of it (which happens insanely fast).    Charlize had a lovely head of hair which made it fun picking out headbands for her session.  I loved her froggy pose on the mint color blanket so much, its now a 20x30 canvas in the studio for all to see!  The family and parent photos from this session are some of my favorites too.  They chose one of my popular Baby Collections with multiple sessions throughout baby’s first year, so I will be seeing them often over the next few months and I can’t wait to watch Charlize grow!

Houston Fine Art Newborn Photographer, Mac

Whew!  Blogs, blogs, and more blogs.  I just want to take the opportunity to shout out to the rooftops how incredibly proud of my colleagues I am.  You know, when I decided that I wanted to pave the path to become a Houston Fine Art Newborn Photographer, I did not wholly recognize how much work goes into this job.  From blogging, to staying relevant on Google, to emailing, to styling each session for the parents, from sending contracts, retainers, invoices, and sooooooooooo much more, I feel like anyone who owns their own business really deserves a huge pat on the back.Do not get me wrong, I would have it no other way, but I do feel it is important to note that when you book a session with me, it goes far beyond just clicking a picture with my camera.  Literally, my blood, sweat and tears (some happy, some not so much) has gone into this career and I am SO happy you're here and you support this hard work.  So for that, thank you.  And to all my colleagues in the industry... you ROCK, you really do!  Up next on the blog is sweet Mac! 

About this Houston Newborn Photography Session

We took to my Houston newborn studio to document sweet Mac's arrival and very first few days of his new little life.  We included parent and sibling shots, which are always a joy to me.  Mac was such a sweet little guy.  He is the first BOY for this family so his parents really wanted to incorporate muted boy colors to keep his session timeless and gender appropriate.  His parents are UT fans so we made sure to incorporate some burnt orange into his session with one of the prop shots.  Big sister was so excited to be included and was just so easy to work with.  I love it when siblings make my job easy!When mom and dad hired me to be their Houston Fine Art Newborn Photographer, I was over the moon excited.  I especially love that since I am a full service photographer, that their experience does not end at the session.  It goes beyond that.  We meet a couple short weeks later to go over their images together, and also to pick out collections that fit their needs best.  We talk about the first few weeks of their new life and it gives us all a sense of knowing one another better.  I love my job.  I love my clients.  This really is a dream and I am so grateful for the trust they have in me. <3

Outdoor Houston Maternity Photography by Taryn Melgoza

Happy Thursday everyone!  I am so excited to be sharing yet another maternity portrait session (I cannot get enough of these baby bumps, you guys)!   I think for me, I love these Outdoor Houston Maternity Photography sessions so much because of what's to come for these amazing families that I get to see.  New life, new baby, new everything.  It's incredible to watch the growth and love and see it right in front of my very eyes.  Man, I got a little mushy there for a minute, but that's ok.  That's how I roll.  And have I mentioned lately how much I love my job?!

About this Outdoor Houston Maternity Photography Session

We took to my favorite field that's on private property just south of Houston.  Of course, with all these Outdoor Houston Maternity Photography sessions, I just love using natural light.  It creates an ethereal and dreamy feel for these beautiful maternity pictures.  Since this was their first baby, no other siblings were photographed (maybe one day, right?!).  We used a maternity dress that mama brought and also one of my blue gowns from my studio wardrobe.This couple was so excited to meet their first baby, a sweet baby girl.  They wanted to document their pregnancy with a beautiful maternity session that focused on their love and excitement surrounding the arrival of their baby girl.  Mama is absolutely GORGEOUS so it made my job too easy.  We chose a favorite location among my clients located South of Houston on private property.  The location was perfect as it allowed us to focus on the connection of this lovely couple and also gave us some beautiful dreamy evening light.  It was shot in May of 2016 and they just welcomed their baby girl in late June.  I photographed her newborn session and can’t wait to share it!  They booked one of my popular Baby Collections with multiple sessions through baby girl’s first year of life, so I will be seeing them again very soon (and I cannot wait)!

Houston Styled Children Portraits

Happy Wednesday, everyone!  I hope you are all having an amazing week.  This week has already been busy with several newborn sessions, a one year portrait session, and a fun girl's night (or mom's night) out watching the new hit movie: Bad Mom's.  For us mom's, it was such a funny and relatable movie.  I highly recommend!!  We've also been watching the Olympics every night and its been so much fun to see these amazing athletes compete!  Any who, next up on the blog is sweet Caraline and her Houston Styled Children Portraits and documenting her big 6th birthday!!!

About this Houston Photography Session

I have been photographing Caraline since she was 6 months old.  I am beyond honored that I have been able to watch this beautiful girl grow in front of my eyes and document her growth in front of my lens.  She is fun, gorgeous, and sweet as pie!  Her mom is insanely creative and always has the best ideas for her yearly styled sessions.  This year, mom brought along pink flamingo float and the mint colored bicycle with a floral basket to use in her portraits and they were both PERFECT!   Caraline’s portraits are hands down some of my favorite children portraits to date.   If you would like more information on how to book a Houston Styled Children Portraits photography session, be sure to get in touch!  And if you'd like to see the highlights from this perfect session, be sure to keep scrolling below.

Baby Girl Cake Smash Houston Photography, Elle

It seems like I have not blogged in a while.  So welcome, how are you guys doing and I sincerely hope that if you are following along in this journey with me, you are enjoying seeing me grow as an artist.  Up next this week is sweet Elle and her Baby Girl Cake Smash Houston Photography session.  We took to my favorite field to document this sweet time in her life for her cake smash and family session.  We shot this session a couple months ago and we had so much fun. 

How we styled this baby photography session in Houston

Since this was this precious' family's first baby, I really wanted to style this shoot well and intentional.  Because that first year milestone is so imperative and so special, I wanted my clients to feel how special this time really is.  I had the pleasure of photographing this family’s maternity and newborn photos in 2015.  So I was honored when they contacted me to document Elle’s first birthday portraits.  It's always such an honor.  Mom had a lovely themed picked out for Elle’s party.  She brought several of these items to use as props during the session.  We started the session with some family and parent poses.  I believe these are always mandatory to include in a first birthday session.Then the rest of the session focused on sweet Elle!  We incorporated several floral touches and the popular ruffle teepee (a client favorite!)!  We wrapped up the session with a cake smash…Elle wasn’t too sure about the icing but that is common since it IS a sugar overload!  I absolutely love the way this session turned out and I know the parents will treasure these images for years to come.

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

After blogging all things baby for a while, I figured it would be a great opportunity to blog this Maternity Photography Session Houston!  We took to my handy dandy favorite field here in South Houston and it complimented this session so perfectly.  This was mama and dad's first baby so it was just such a fun session to be a part of.  The newest and truest of loves is when you welcome a new baby into the world.  I.can't.even.  <3Stephanie wore my purple maternity gown from my Houston Studio for this session as well as a more simple and casual look to give it a couple different vibes throughout the session.  We shot this session in the morning at my favorite private field location just South of Houston.  Morning time is not my preferred time for natural light portrait sessions….but I loved the outcome.  Mom brought two amazing outfits and then borrowed my purple gown from my studio collection.  She looked so amazing and could totally tell she felt amazing, too.  She had her hair and make-up professionally done early in the morning a few hours prior to our portrait session, which I always highly recommend (if you need someone, be sure to let me know!  I have been using the same girl for a while now).Professional hair and make-up photographs amazing, holds up well in the intense Houston heat, gives my clients some much needed pampering, and makes my clients feel their best for their session.  For more information on how to book a session, be sure to get in touch or drop me a line.  I would be thrilled to hear from you.  And for highlights from this session, be sure to keep scrolling below.

Maternity Photography Session Houston

Happy Wednesday everyone!  I just love doing Baby Photography Houston sessions.  If you couldn't tell, it's probably my all time favorite thing to shoot.  Although, it seems, that all of my sessions that I do- maternity, baby, sitter, and milestones sesssion... well, even family sessions... it all surrounds my favorite- newborn baby photography.  I don't know if it's the new life, the precious time, the organic nature of a newborn, the purity, or what, but newborn sessions just give me all the feels.  So as I blog this, if you haven't noticed- it sure is giving me all those feels.  ;)  Anywho... enough about me... and more about this perfect session.Maddox was born in July of 2015.  Since shooting his newborn session, I have also done some milestone sessions, so I figured- why not blog where it all began?!  So here we are!  Big sister joined us on this session.  She was so amazing- patient, kind, loving, and obedient.  She understood why we were doing what we needed to do and listened very contently.  She will be such a great influence on him.Mom contacted me about photographing her maternity and newborn sessions last summer.  You can see her gorgeous maternity session here.  Thank goodness we were able to photograph her baby bump before Maddox arrived as he decided to be born one week after her maternity session.  Big sister Grace Anne was such a sweet and loving big sister and I adore their sibling images.   Maddox was born with an amazing head of hair so that was super fun to photograph!

Hey Everyone!  I hope your weekend went well and you had a great July 4th holiday with your family celebrating this amazing country!  Besides the intense heat, summer has always been one of my favorite season.  We have been enjoying tons of water activities outside and I just love seeing my kiddo's smiles are just stretched from ear to ear!  We have all loved the quality time we have been spending together as a family during these warm summer months.  Mush-y feelings today, but I love it.  It's who I am and maybe that's why I love my job and owning my very own Houston Tx Newborn Photography Studio.  Up next on the blog is sweet baby Milo.This precious family was referred to me by an existing client of mine.  It really humbles me when my clients-turned-friends loved their experience with me that they decide to share it with their family and friends.  This is this sweet couple’s first baby.  And boy, is he loved!  This was one of my first sessions to use my new barn wood.  I just love the warmth and feel it gives to the images.  Mom and dad are also so gorgeous and super photogenic, so they really made my job as easy as it can get.We took to neutral colors- grays, warm wood tones, navy blue accents.  Basically- earthy tones that compliment baby boys so incredibly well.  Timeless. Classic.  Perfect.  Be sure to keep scrolling below for the highlights <3

Houston Tx Newborn Photography Studio

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

Hope everyone is having a wonderful start their weekends!  I am so thankful that Houston got some sun this week and we got through the rain and flooding!  I decided to share this super sunny Outdoor Houston Maternity Photographer session in lieu of this beautiful weather.We took to my favorite field here in Houston and when I started to talk with Danielle and her family about what they envisioned for their Outdoor Houston Maternity Photographer session, she wanted to do a maternity session and include family portraits.  Grace Ann (big sister) was also a focus in this session, and I just loved her.  We originally got rained out the first time we scheduled this session, so we had to reschedule it.  I definitely think we made the right decision in doing so, because these maternity pictures were just so dreamy!  The light gave this session an ethereal and dreamy look to them, which is what I strive for in all of my portraits.  Life with a newborn is so beautiful and the anticipation of meeting them for the first time really does feel dreamy and too good to be true.  Moments that you never want to forget.Danielle wore pregnancy so beautifully and big sister was at the perfect age to love on mama's sweet baby bump.  And at the end of this session, we were blessed with a rainbow just overhead. Of course I had to photograph it!  Over the course of baby’s first year, I had to honor of photographing his newborn, sitting, and one year sessions and it was such a joy to watch him grow!  I can’t wait to share his newborn session with you soon!

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!
