Babies

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 […]

Dallas Birthday Party Photographer 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 […]

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 […]

I mean, seriously, could she BE any cuter? Those eyes. Those curls. That sweet face. This precious girl turned one this summer and I couldn’t believe it. She was a little shy but warmed up once she got to play with a balloon and got some kisses, snuggles, and tickles. But I’m pretty sure the […]

’Tis the month of sunrise sessions! Luckily this cute little guy was not only ready to go at the crack of dawn, but also all smiles. Absolutely adorable smiles. 🙂 Of course, it’s hard not to be happy when you get to start your day off with a big yummy cupcake! Life’s pretty exciting; not […]

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. It was such a joy to capture this […]

What fun this was! Getting to the final session in baby’s first year is always bittersweet for me; I’m always sad that it’s the last one because I love getting to see babies through all those milestones during their first year, but it’s so much fun to see how much these babies grow and see […]

When I walked into this family’s house for their session, 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 (for the most part, it’s a complete blur!). I was so […]

I feel like there is not much more I can add about this session; the photos pretty much sum it up: a super sweet & adorable little boy, awesome parents who are obviously already head over heals in love with their new son, and a fabulous nursery with precious details everywhere you look! The fur […]

One thing I really like about this session is that it shows 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 shooting in your own home and/or yard is that it’s where kids are most comfortable, […]

I always have the hardest time choosing favorites from this family’s sessions! Not only do we get the usual portraits, they always give me the opportunity to capture some lifestyle photos documenting some of their day-to-day activities in their home; definitely one of my favorite things to do! They’ve also stuck with me through 3 […]

When his mom first told me her idea for this session, I was like YES! It sounded like such a cute & fun idea, and it totally was! This sweet guy is turning 2 and loves to play in his dad’s truck and pretend to drive it. So it was a perfect idea to capture […]

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 chips, of course). Although I’m pretty sure her favorite moment was the one where she finally got off that pesky headband! We had […]

One! I can never quite believe it when a baby turns one, but this one especially caught me by surprise. I suggested this area for their session and was glad they took me up on it – it’s such a fun place for photos, especially for a baby who’s ready to explore the world. Love […]

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 more than happy to take photos of him awake – especially with those big beautiful eyes! […]

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 love these sessions just as much. They’re so different but […]

At the end of this session, I told Katy 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 full of smiles, the light was gorgeous, the location […]

I met this sweet family bright & early on a Saturday morning. I have to give them mad props for being brave enough to attempt a session outside of their home with a one month old, especially first thing in the morning! But they were there & ready to go and oh, so happy! I […]

Here’s another family that I’ve loved being able to capture over the years. I photographed Sean & Stacey’s wedding 6 years ago and now they have two precious kiddos! Big sister is super excited to have a baby brother, and wanted to hold him pretty much the whole time. And then when he got a […]

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 the darkest times and still, somehow, stand by you. You don’t come across those friends very often in life. […]

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 a variety of other ridiculously cute expressions too! Last time I saw her she was about 4 months old and of course not at the point of being […]

I’m absolutely loving watching these two precious girls growing up! I always look forward to their sessions & seeing what they’re like. I know they’re going to love being close in age as they grow up! We had a few reschedules because of weather & sickness but finally had a nice day and some naps […]

Oh these two sisters – aren’t they precious? Big sister was excited to see me, happy to be in front of the camera, and eager to hold her new little sister. She’s sooo excited to have a little sister! This sweet newborn was perfect for her entire session and glad to be held. I couldn’t […]

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 […]

This cutie is six weeks old and already smiling like a pro! He was so much fun to photograph – happy & smiley & super sweet. His big brother wanted in on the action too and even gave out a few hugs. It’s always a nice little bonus when toddlers show an interest in their […]

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 more “normal,” and babies are showing […]

I can’t believe my nephew is already 4 months old! He’s at that age where if I don’t see him for a week, he’s almost like a completely different baby – he’s just growing & changing so fast. His newest skill is rolling over, which he expertly demonstrated several times for the camera. And he’s […]

I just love this family and 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?” Precious little Claire just turned 1 at the end of June and now […]

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 toddlers. Even though it hasn’t been a […]

Sebastian was a bright spot on a super foggy, fairly dreary day – his sweet smile and fun red Christmas outfit were a perfect way to offset the gray skies. We started his session at 8am and by 9 he was ready for a snooze – sounds like a pretty great life to me! I’ve […]

I’ve been looking forward to doing these photos for a long time – maybe even since the day I found out that this little guy was on his way. I immediately knew that I really wanted to take photos of my new nephew soon after his birth at the hospital while he was super super […]
