One the most common laments I get from clients is, “I can’t seem to find coordinating family outfits for our upcoming session! How can I make this easier?” I’m a mom of three—I get it. Rather than sorting through FIVE closets to scrounge up semi-coordinating outfits, we as moms decide that it would probably be easiest to the just start all over and go buy some fresh new clothes. That being said, as busy moms, making a trip to a men’s store for Dad, the women’s store for mom, and then another trip for the kids just sounds miserable. So, just like Target is the one-stop-shop for home and groceries, these are my top 5 stores for finding clothes for the entire family. I want to make your job a little easier!
Read MoreJust look at those sweet pouty little lips! Who couldn't help but fall in love with this sweet girl? I know I sure did! Elena is a part of our Baby Planner program, so I've had the pleasure of seeing her a few times over the past months. Each time I get to see her, I am reminded just how quickly time truly does pass.
Read MoreI am absolutely in love with this newborn session. Charlotte came to me at just a few short days old, and boy do I love those squishy baby cheeks! I had a ton of fun with this session, playing with moody tones and various textural elements. She was such a trooper throughout the entire session, hardly making a peep. In other words, a Pearland Newborn Photographer dream client!
Read MoreTea parties, ruffles, lace, and sweet delicate florals. All things girly, and all things my sweet Penelope loves. This is my very own daughter, we just celebrated her fourth birthday and wanted to commemorate this adorable stage in her life with her very own birthday session. As so many little girls are, she is absolutely obsessed with tea parties and playing dress up. As her mother, what could be better than providing for her the perfect afternoon, filled to the brim with everything she loves. Luckily, I was there every step of the way to capture each joyful grin and silly giggle.
Read MoreI’m a sucker for the blues—blue hues, that is. Especially striking cobalt against natural, rustic tones. I am obsessed with the color scheme and props that we used for baby Michael’s newborn portraits. We kept it simple yet still creative. Michael looked like the cutest special delivery you’ve ever seen tucked inside a blue pail wrapped in soft blankets and topped with his little baby cap. We also used a tiny vintage doll bed to make him look larger-than-life with a miniature stocking cap and some pants with adorable stitching and great cribs from the Treasure Rooms site online. I really love all the button accents—they were the perfect little motifs to match the cute-as-a-button baby. Michael was such an easy newborn to pose, giving us tons of mischievous smirks, smiles and scrunched-up faces. He woke up briefly in the middle of the shoot to give us a picture of his big, handsome eyes before succumbing to sleep again.

Read MoreCheck out this cutie pie, Charlize! I first just want to say that I am in love with her name. It's so unique and beautiful just like her.

Read MoreI had a great time capturing Miranda and her oldest daughter for her Maternity Session. Both of these ladies were as sweet as they are beautiful. Their smiles were so bright and full of excitement about welcoming a little baby into the family. Miranda was stunning in the eggplant gown that she chose from our studio wardrobe. The gown cascaded beautifully over her baby bump. It was a nice balance of getting dressed up for the special occasion but casual enough for their laid back outdoor session.

Read MoreHaving a newborn session is such a fun experience! However, being a mom with a new little one can also be a very stressful time. Our newborns are precious to us, and we don’t want anything to go wrong. As a Houston Newborn Photography artist, I have seen it all, and quite frankly - I expect it! Babies will be babies, and it is totally something that everyone understands. They cry, spit up, etc, and there is nothing wrong with that. My motto is to let the baby be in charge of the session. Although us moms worry about the small things that we literally have no control of, we tend to forget the things that we do have control of, such as our wardrobe! If you have a Houston newborn photography coming up and have totally forgotten to plan your outfit, I am here to help! Here are 6 tips on what to wear to your baby’s session:
Read MoreSpring time is upon which means baseball is too! My oldest son Jensen is playing the the Angels this season with the Pearland Little League and my hubby is coaching. My business also sponsored their team this season so you will see my banner hanging in the outfield on field 5 at the Dad's Club. I am honored to be able to support their team AND to get to photograph them in action. This past Saturday was their opening day and it was so fun to cheer them on from the stands! They have been practicing for several weeks leading up to their first game on Opening Day so it was great to see them finally use their skills on the field. Here are some of my favorites images from the day.
