Happiest Baby Girl on the Block | Avery's 6 Month Photography Session

Howdy, y’all!

With fall family photography sessions in full swing, I’ve been writing a daily blog post in order to showcase all the fun families I’ve had in front of my camera. This morning, for instance, I’m previewing the beautiful D family, a sweet bunch I saw last weekend. Not only are the lovely as can be, but they’re very dear clients of mine. I had the honor or photographing their maternity session as well as their newborn session; now that their little love bug is 6 months old, it was a joy to capture her budding personality. For their natural light session, I had the D family meet me in Coles Crossing at a popular spot. It’s lush and green with a rustic bridge, grove of trees, and open field. It also has perfect parking which is always a plus. Many thanks to Ashley and Matt. I hope you treasure your images for years to come!

Radiant Baby Bump + a Precious Big Brother | Maternity + Family Session

Good morning! Today I am previewing one of the latest natural light and outdoor maternity sessions I had the honor of documenting. However, we also did family photos, too, since I love to include everyone. It’s part of your story and adds diversity to your final copies. The D family is sweet as can be; Mom is radiant with her stunning bump and big brother C was so much fun! Of course, Dad is completely in love. What a perfect bunch! I had them meet me at a fir grove of trees; this is nice location for families because it’s located near Bridgeland and also has easy access. It also has wonderful evening light which makes me swoon!

I always start with photos little ones first. This is so your little one can have an enjoyable experience and can hang out while we photograph the maternity portion.

After we photographed Big Brother, C, I spent some time with the entire family. They are too cute! I love the outfits, too. 

The D family and maternity session was wonderful to document because they took direction so well. I liked posing them and having fun with the angles, snuggles, and telling them to be who they are. There is so much love between them!

Finally, I moved onto the maternity portion of Mom's session. She is glowing! I absolutely adore the light, the styling - her beautiful bump. She's perfect.

Let Them Be Little | Cypress Texas Children's Lifestyle and Documentary Photographer

Good morning! I have been very busy with family, child and newborn sessions, though I am ahead of my business timeline for the week so I have a little time to do a personal blog post  which showcases Lucy, my 14 month old and youngest ginger kiddo. While autumn is upon us, the park has been a little warm so I often let Lucy play in our backyard since it’s shaded. However, she also loves to play in the hose. As a parent, my philosophy is to let them be little. As a photographer, my goal is to photograph my kiddos and their childhood in the most honest manner possible. They’re only little for a small time and while the days can sometimes feel long, there is also a tenderness and vulnerability to this time. You are their whole world. You are everything – their sun, their moon – their life. There will be a time in which you miss the pitter pattering of small feet or the echo of their laughter down your hallway; you will long to feel her kicking in your belly, or clean up Goldfish from the carpet. Parenthood is an all-consuming journey – one of which is full of beautiful moments that make your heart so full it could burst with the love it holds. This in mind – let them be little. Let them get messy. Let things be perfectly imperfect and chaotic and soulful. Don’t forget to grab your camera but also to embrace the spirit of your child and to enjoy the moments with them.

Side note: I used a 35 mm f/1.4 ART here and my Canon 6d.

As you can see, my back patio is not clean. We have friends over a lot to BBQ (as my husband loves to smoke pork, brisket, ribs, ect) and things never seem to get cleaned up. And that's okay because life doesn't have to be perfect and it's sometimes a wee bit messy. We live in this society where Pinterest pins often motivate us to do certain things and there's this pressure for a project to always be on your desk. It doesn't have to be that way, either. I am a busy working mama, and time with my little one often trumps my to do list.

Afterwards, I wrapped Lucy in a warm, fluffy towel (straight from the dryer) and let her run around in her diaper. I visited Costco earlier that morning, so we had some big 'ol boxes lying around. She snuggled up in one of the boxes with her special blanket and then watched "Daniel the Tiger". Yup. That's the perfect way to end a back patio splash event!
