Babies

Plano First 48 Photographer Every First 48 session is so special. Brand new babies are incredibly precious and amazing. Even though I see them all the time, I can never get over how tiny they are. It really is amazing how small our kids start out – and how quickly they grow! And that’s one […]

These family photos at Lakeside Park perfectly captured how sweet this little girl is! She has such an adorable smile and personality. For most of the session she was happy to be held by mom and dad. And she also enjoyed exploring a bit! Of course kids change a TON between birth and one year, […]

If you love Fall colors anywhere near as much as I do, then you’ll enjoy this Fall family session in Dallas! Finding Fall colors can be a challenge around here, so I was thrilled when I arrived at this location and saw all of the beautiful leaves. This park was just right around the corner […]

This is the second McKinney lifestyle newborn session I’ve gotten to do for this family. It’s really hard to believe that this big sister is already two. Her newborn session does not seem that long ago. She’s grown up so much and is soooo much fun! We did baby brother’s First 48 session a couple […]

Dallas First 48 Photographer First 48 sessions are so special and really very unique. There’s nothing quite like the first few days with your new baby! Those early hours and days in the hospital are so brief and such a blur. Having them documented preserves those tiny details & first snuggles forever! As a bonus, […]

Plano First 48 session This was such a special session! These thrilled parents welcomed their new baby with so much joy and love. You can just see the excitement on their faces!  They wanted to do a First 48 session so they would have photos to show their daughter when she gets older and to […]

There are a lot of benefits to doing your baby’s 7 month photos at home. Seven months is a time when babies are really starting to show their personalities. They’re also realizing what places are familiar. They’re also noticing what places aren’t. And when they’re at home in their most familiar place, they tend to […]

DFW lifestyle newborn photos are the perfect way to document your new baby in their nursery. You’ve spent so much time getting the nursery just right – planning details and making it perfect for your little one. Having newborn photos taken at your home is the best way to make sure all those details are […]

This was such a sweet First 48 Hospital Session! Just look at that precious little smile above! She was so happy to be in her dad’s arms. There’s just something so indescribably incredible about newborn babies during the first 48 hours. The newness of life is truly amazing. When you’re in the hospital with a […]

Let me tell you why I love being a Day in the Life photographer. When our kids are little, the days can feel very long. The day-to-day can feel a bit monotonous sometimes. Sometimes, extremely monotonous. My kids are older now, but I remember those days (although, at the same time, they’re a total blur). […]

This awesome Dallas newborn session at home featured not only an adorable new baby, but also a very excited big sister. A big sister who was thrilled to hold her little brother! You can just see the excitement on her sweet face when she holds him. Sometimes older siblings want nothing to do with a […]

Dallas lifestyle newborn photos – one of my favorite types of sessions! Watching parents hold and love their new baby will never get old. The first few weeks with your little one go by soooo fast. There are so many sleepless nights and the days pass by in a blur. Having a newborn session at […]

I want to share this Plano First 48 photography session that I did a while back. This was late last summer but wow the time has just flown by so quickly! It’s so hard to believe we’re already in February. So much so that I initially wrote January and didn’t catch my mistake for a […]

There’s something magical about a First Birthday Party. You made it through that first year (woo hoo!). Your tiny baby is becoming a toddler. Yet they’re definitely still your baby. A first birthday party is a huge celebration! In the past, I’ve spent hours planning my kids’ birthday parties. First, because they were important to […]

Oh it has been a long time since I’ve gotten to do a newborn session and I have missed the new babies so much!  The tininess, the squishiness, the  sweetness and the snuggles…it’s all so wonderful. This is one of the best times of your little one’s life to document, because this phase goes by […]

Of course it’s fun to do photos at a beautiful location, but having your family session at home is always an awesome choice! Why? Because that’s usually where babies are most comfortable and most likely to be themselves. Home is the perfect place to snuggle up together and baby snuggles are the best. Plus, getting […]

Dallas Day in the Life Session Many lifetimes ago – or maybe it was really just 5 months ago – I spent a normal, typical Saturday morning with my sister’s family. It was one of those days where there were no plans. Nothing especially exciting happened. In fact, it was a day that would really […]

I wanted to share this Dallas First 48 Photography session. It’s hard to find the words right now. Any words. A month has changed everything – completely, totally, everything. A month ago, life was normal. Now, it is not. When I did this session, I had NO idea that it would be my last for […]

Coppell Newborn Photographer The difference between a newborn session with just one baby and a newborn session with older siblings is like night and day. With one baby, it’s so calm and quiet. When I walk into the house for the session, the baby will occasionally be wailing at top volume. But otherwise, it’s just […]

There’s nothing quite like being a lifestyle family photographer. I meet so many incredible people. And I have amazing opportunities to document kids as they are born and grow up. I’ve been lucky to know these parents not only when they were getting ready to be parents, but even when they vowed to spend their […]

At home lifestyle newborn photography is always so special. Instead of scrambling to get everyone ready and then rushing out of the house, you get to stay home and enjoy the time with your new baby. Newborn babies can feel when we’re stressed, and staying home can eliminate a lot of stress! Spending less time […]

One thing this family photographer really loves is seeing the connections and bonds between you and the members of your family.  And there are few things more heart-melting than seeing your kids love each other. Of course, every family has sibling conflicts, which makes it even more important to have their sweet moments documented! Those […]

I drove away from this Spring one year session with a huge smile on my face. Truly, it was just perfect. We had a beautiful morning with beautiful light and beautiful Spring green everywhere, which was just lovely. But the best part was these adorable little girls who were so much fun and so sweet. […]

Loved doing these awesome 6 month photos at home! Six months is such an amazing age full of new discoveries and joy. It’s the age when babies are able to sit up, work their own hands, and communicate via smiles and laughter. Suddenly the world is full of possibilities! And there are so many changes […]

Newborn photos with three kids are always so fun and special. A newborn session is always full of joy, but it multiplies with siblings. The chaos multiplies too, but I love it all! There’s so much love to go around. The newborn phase passes so, so quickly. One thing I feel strongly about is having […]

This was such a sweet and peaceful in-home newborn session. Capturing the bonds and connections between new parents and their little one will never get boring. Every newborn session is such a joy and so unique! This one was no exception. It has been far too long since I’ve blogged. It is definitely not due […]

This in-home newborn photography session was perfection: gorgeous home, adorable baby, loving parents…even some outside photos!  There was just so much awesomeness. So, where to even begin with this session?? So many great things. First, precious baby boy was absolutely perfect and loved his snuggle time with Mom & Dad, who totally doted on him. […]

Adriatica was the perfect spot for this McKinney one year session! It’s such a cute little area with some interesting backgrounds. I was so excited for another one year old session, yay! This family came in from out of state to celebrate their little guy’s first birthday with his Grandparents. So they really wanted to […]

Loved loved loved this family session at home with twins! I admit that I am totally biased since I have my own, but photographing twins is one of my favorite things ever. And 1 is hands-down one of my all-time favorite ages to shoot. And in-home sessions are where my heart is. So this session […]

These Dallas lifestyle newborn portraits are extra special. It is truly special to be asked to come back by people time and time again to document their families as they grow. I’ve photographed this precious newborn’s 3 older siblings shortly after each were born. And then I got to do even more sessions as they […]

He started off very serious for his one year session, but quickly warmed up and decided this picture thing wasn’t so bad. Which is a good thing, because his smile is so dang sweet! And he had lots of smiles once he was ready. Being lifted up int he air by dad and laughing with […]

This DFW newborn session at home was so sweet. This precious little guy slept through his whole session! Well, he was awake for a few brief minutes, but after a quick feeding he was peacefully sleeping again. There are few things more heart-melting than a tiny sleeping baby, don’t you think? A big part of […]

This one year lifestyle session at home was so much fun! The best place to capture your baby’s personality is at home where they’re most comfortable, and this cutie was definitely happy to be in his own space. I might be in denial that it’s been a year since I was at their house doing […]

This Lake Highlands newborn photography session took place in the most adorable nursery! One of the best things about having newborn photos done at home is that no two sessions are alike. Every in-home newborn session is unique and totally personalized to you. Another awesome thing is that you’ll have photos documenting your little one […]

This was such a sweet newborn session with a very excited big brother! You can just see the excitement so clearly on his face. Not only was he super psyched at the newborn session, he was crazy excited at their maternity session. You should totally check those photos out too (including one of my all-time […]

Check out this adorable Dallas family sunrise session! We got an early start to beat the Summer heat, and it was totally worth it to catch this beautiful light. And of course to get back inside before it got any hotter. ;D It was so much fun to catch up with this family for their […]

This was an extra special session because it includes one year AND maternity photos! Celebrating not only one milestone but two made this morning especially awesome. We started early – ’tis the month of sunrise sessions! Getting everyone up and ready early can be rough, but it’s not nearly as rough as having heat-related meltdowns […]

As a Dallas newborn lifestyle photographer, one thing I never get tired of is watching parents with their new baby. There is always such awe and fascination and such an indescribable emotion that shines through. And no matter how sleep deprived parents may be, there’s still an endless supply of love to give. Having a […]

Taking your baby’s one year photos at home is such a good opportunity to photograph them where they’re most comfortable. It’s also really great if there are older siblings because they can be in their element too. It usually results in a really fun session. And what fun this was! Getting to the final session […]

When I walked into this family’s house for these twin photos at home, I was hit with a ton of memories. Two of everything, lots of pink, and all kinds of teeny tiny things! It brought back a lot of memories from when my twins were babies. Although, for the most part, it’s a complete […]

If you’re looking for a session that will capture it all, a Dallas lifestyle newborn photographer is the answer. Lifestyle photos really are amazing. The session captures everything from the tiniest detail to the biggest thing of all – how in love you are with your new baby. I feel like there is not much […]

Sometimes a casual backyard session is just what your little one needs! Not every photo session needs to be at a garden or a park. This session proves that you don’t really need to go anywhere fancy for photos. Sometimes your own backyard can be more than enough! One of the absolute best things about […]

This 6 month at home session is full of so much cuteness! I always have the hardest time choosing favorites from this family’s sessions. Not only do we get the usual portraits, but they also always give me the opportunity to capture some lifestyle photos documenting some of their day-to-day activities in their home. Capturing […]

Love these family photos with a truck! It’s always great when there’s a chance to incorporate things into your session that are unique and special to your family. It makes your photos even more special and memorable. Usually it’s smaller things, but in this case it was something a little bigger – their fun red […]

We did this sweet girl’s one year photos at the Arboretum and White Rock Lake. They were perfect backdrops for some serious cuteness! How adorable is this precious girl?? She was all smiles as soon as she saw me and was psyched to have some time to explore the Arboretum (mostly the dirt & wood […]

I love how these one year photos in the area around the Winspear turned out! This is such a unique and fun place for photos, especially for a baby who’s ready to explore the world. And this baby is ONE! I can never quite believe it when a baby turns one, but this one especially […]

This was such a sweet newborn session with a precious new baby and his older brother. I’ve been so looking forward to meeting this little guy! He’s just as sweet as he could be. He slept a little bit but was mostly much more interested in watching what was going on around him. I was […]

Dallas lifestyle newborn photography For a long time, most of the newborn sessions that I did were for the first baby of the family. But lately most of them have included an older sibling as well. And I have to say that even though they’re a little crazier, I absolutely love these sessions. They’re so […]

I loved taking these 7 month photos in Plano! At the end of the session, I told Mom that I could already tell that I was going to have a ton of favorites to post – and I definitely do! Everything went pretty much perfectly – the kids were both agreeable, the baby was especially […]

I met this sweet family bright & early on a Saturday morning to take some one month photos outside at White Rock Lake. I have to give them a lot of credit for being brave enough to attempt a session outside of their home with a one month old. Especially when the session had to […]

If you’re looking for a session where everyone can feel comfortable and relaxed, I’d love to be the Richardson lifestyle newborn photographer that helps you out! These in-home newborn sessions are such a great way to enjoy snuggling your new baby without having to get everyone dressed and out of the house. Here’s another family […]

Not only do I love how these Richardson family photos turned out, but they were extra special to me. There is something to be said for those kinds of friends that stick with you through not only the good and the bad, but also the really, really bad times. The ones who see you in […]

These 9 month photos were so much fun. I just love happy babies like this super sweet girl! She was happy to look at the camera and she gave me lots of smiles. And she had a variety of other ridiculously cute expressions too! Last time I saw her she was about 4 months old and […]

We did these 4 month photos outside when the world was just beginning to turn green again. Springtime is such a nice time for photos! I’m always glad when the leaves finally come back. And the coldness gets replaced with nicer weather. It’s always so sweet having these two sisters in front of my camera. […]

This newborn session with a very happy big sister was so sweet! Newborn photos will always be some of my favorites. And when there’s an excited older sibling involved, it’s even more awesome. Oh these two sisters – aren’t they precious? Big sister was excited to see me, happy to be in front of the […]

It totally does not feel like it’s been a year since these boys were born! It seems like a couple of months, at the most – but here they are, already a year old! It’s even crazier that it’s been nearly 3 years since I photographed their big sister as a newborn! I for one […]

It was so sweet capturing this little one’s six weeks photos at home. Most newborn sessions are done within baby’s first 2-3 weeks, but six weeks is still a newborn and there are definitely advantages! At six weeks, your baby is still new and tiny. But they’re also much more alert and showing more personality. […]

Richardson 3 month photos at home Three months can be a tough time for photos, because babies have such small windows of happy & awake time and they get tired quickly. But it’s also such a wonderful time to capture. You’re getting out of that newborn fog and life is getting to be a little […]

It’s truly wonderful to do a 4 month session at home where your little one is most comfortable! It eliminates all of the uncertainty of a new place. If outfit or diaper changes are needed, you’ve got everything you need. And it gives you a chance to have your home documented as it is at […]

These in-home newborn photos were so special. I just love this family. I can’t even say how happy I am for them have welcomed Sweet Baby Girl #2. As I was driving to their house to do this newborn session, I kept thinking, “wait, wasn’t I just here?” Big sister just turned 1 at the end […]

And now for more 4 month photos! I know I say it a lot, but I just can’t say it enough – I love doing baby’s first year sessions! There’s nothing like being able to capture that first year with all of the big, fun milestones and watching babies grow from tiny newborns to laughing […]

This casual lifestyle session was a bright spot on a super foggy and fairly dreary day. Little guy’s sweet face and fun red Christmas outfit were a perfect match to offset the gray skies. We started the session at 8am and by 9 he was ready for a snooze. I have to admit that it […]

This was such a precious Frisco newborn session. I love so many things about doing newborn sessions. From capturing those tiny details, to seeing how adorable new babies are, and watching their cute and often hilarious expressions. And one of the best parts, of course, is getting a few snuggles in between poses. I will […]

Check out these adorable Richardson newborn photos. This sweet baby girl was just too precious. She contentedly slept through most of her session, was absolutely adorable the entire time, and gave several of the best smiles! She’s definitely the “smiliest” newborn I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen a lot). She was such a joy to spend […]

When I arrived for this Richardson newborn session, it was a cool, cloudy and kind of gloomy day outside. It may have felt gloomy, but t I think she liked it because she slept nearly the entire time I was there. And of course one of the best ways to brighten up a cloudy day […]

First 48 session at Baylor Hospital in Dallas – First 48 photos are so special. It’s a really unique opportunity to document one of those most amazing phases of parenthood. It’s also one of the shortest phases of parenthood! Those first days with your new baby are indescribable and full of joy. Capturing those moments […]
