Booking Your Newborn Session for a Premie | Sample Gallery

Good morning, y'all!

Labor Day has passed and I had a wonderful time spending the weekend in the sun with my little girls and handsome hunk of a hubby! We smoked brisket, chicken, and sausage, played outside, had family time, and even saw some great friend. It was a wonderful weekend, and though simple, it is always a nice way to recharge. Anyway, enough about me! 

As a photographer, I enjoy offering two styles of newborn portraiture work: lifestyle and posed. Lifestyle work is a laid back approach that has informal posing and less direction; the tone of the session showcases your love, bond, relationships, and connections as a family, particularly in the precious moments of welcoming a new baby into your home. While posed newborn work is still beautiful, more props are utilized and the sessions are several hour as we soothe baby and mold him or her into the perfect curly positions. Because the styles vary, I offer both and guide you, as the client, in the right direction for your family. Each client is different, as are your needs. I'm here to help. :-) 

Baby M and his sweet parents were a joy to work with! For their home lifestyle session, we kept the posing very informal, for the reasons mentioned above, and focused on their beautiful nursery. Congrats to y'all! I am excited to see you at your six month session this fall/winter 2015.

Below are some of my favorite images from the session. I hope you enjoy viewing them.

Sometimes babies make the sweetest faces. They may be alert and awake and that's okay for lifestyle sessions. These are also ideal for babies that are a little older.

Baby M had such a sweet connection with Mom. He would just gaze into her eyes and she held him close. His little toes are precious! They're perfect. :-)

I adore each and every detail in the nursery! The color scheme is particularly lovely; so warm and inviting, but also a pop of color to act as a focal point. Each accessory was lovingly selected and one can see the care that went into the design. And that big comfy chair looks super inviting! What a perfect photo opportunity!

Premature Newborn Session for Twin Boys | 13 Weeks New

Good morning!

I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather! I’ve noticed that while the greater Houston area has had some cloudy skies, it’s also dipped into the low 90’s – this is downright chilly for a Texas summer! Moreover, I am working hard at catching up on galleries, as many of you have kept me very busy. No worries though – the 5-7 business day turnaround time is still running smoothly. This blog post, however, is all about a recent newborn session and showcasing all that is new and precious – babies! If you follow my work regularly, you might know I am currently only photographing newborns, children, and family professional photography sessions. Of course, I cannot forget to include your beautiful baby bump maternity sessions! Ideally, this is what makes me happy; I find these sessions to be most rewarding and fulfilling. I enjoy the connections, meeting your family, and providing a laid back and customer service driven experience. Plus, your darling little ones make me smile and it’s wonderful to celebrate your stories!

Perhaps one reason I most enjoy newborn sessions is because they’re completely customized. Everything is planned from start to finish to suit your tastes; for example, we always begin with your favorite colors and narrow them down to ones that photograph best and highlight baby beautifully. While colors are important, it is important for baby’s sweet face to shine and for his or her features to be the main emphasis of the image. This is why props are also kept as timeless, classic pieces. I utilize rustic buckets, wooden bowls, neutral colors, and often style the session with a pop of color such as a bonnet, bow tie, head band, or even a soft wrap draped over your precious baby.

For my latest session, I trekked out to New Caney, Texas and brought the professional set up to the client. Yup – I am on location, which means I do not have a studio. Instead, I photograph clients out of their homes or other locations such as parks, historic sites, universities, downtown, open fields, neighborhood bridges, docks overlooking bodies of water, ect. I bring the studio to you; baby has everything she needs and you can relax and enjoy the session. I also provide each and every prop you see in my gallery or blog posts.

Hanging Out with the Coolest Family | Laid Back In Home Session

Good morning,

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! Here in Houston, it was only around 100 degrees and we had some much needed rain, so that’s always a plus. I also took one day off work and spent some time at the pool with my kiddos, Emma and Lucy. Now that it’s Monday, I am excited to be behind my desk and catching up on the blog. After all, blogging your sessions is a joy as I look forward to sharing my favorite images and the process behind them.

My latest home lifestyle session took place in gorgeous Cypress, Texas with one of my favorite families I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. From their initial e-mail to the phone consultation, I truly looked forward to meeting them. They are sweet as apple pie and so warm and welcoming!

Perhaps one reason I love newborn sessions is because of the connections. Meeting your family, seeing the baby nursery, planning all the small details – this makes me happy. I like chatting with you, hearing your stories, and learning about who you are. Since the newborn sessions are about 4-5 hours long, it’s meant to be laid back and stress free.

For this family, we did a combination of posed newborn work and then a more documentary approach to lifestyle family work. As you will see, their nursery is absolutely stunning! Gorgeous colors, perfect styling, fantastic light. There is an eclectic mixture of both old and new: vintage meets modern. Mom designed it all – she has quite an eye! The following are some of my favorite images from our time together. Thank you for having me in your home! I cannot express how much I enjoyed documenting your session and I’m already looking forward to seeing your sweet baby again at 6 months.

As you can see, we began with images of Dad embracing his role as a loving father. While I do like to give a little direction, I prefer to hang out and just observe. To me, that's the key to capturing a true moment that's frame worthy: these aren't meant to be snap shots. They're meant to be archival art pieces you will lovingly adorn your walls with as the years pass.
