Outdoor 6 Month Milestone Photography Session | Sweet Twin Baby Girls

Good morning!

I hope everyone is enjoying the sunny weather and adjusting to the new morning routine of school starting. For instance, my little one, Emma, entered kindergarten yesterday and I have to admit it’s been pretty quiet around here! However, enough about me – I am excited to preview the latest 6 month milestone session I have photographed for a set of twins. As a photographer, one who specializes in children and family work, I especially love return clients. Not only is it a fantastic compliment, but I truly enjoy the lasting connections we create. I love seeing your family grow and change; I adore being there to capture the milestones, and to also provide a consistent style of images to display upon your walls. The Z family is a wonderful example! I initially met them at their maternity session; then I photographed their beautiful twin daughters at their newborn session and now Miss G and Miss L are six months old! Whew! They’ve changed so much but they’re just as darling as the first time I met them. Here is are a few images that you may remember seeing:

They're a stunning couple! The soft, evening light took place in January and there is a certain tranquil stillness enveloping her bump. I love this particular location because it's private and the sunlight cascades beautifully over the subject!

Here is a sample image from their home newborn session. While I do provide custom and fine are set ups for each baby I photograph, I also love to embrace your own dynamic and photograph you in your own environment; each parent is lovingly holding their precious babies and basking in the unconditional love that is ever consuming: parenthood. 

Above are a few more images from Miss L and Miss G's newborn session! The colors were simple so we may best showcase babies; we also spent time photographing connection based posing. Sometimes, I love a black and white edit because it's soulful and resonates well. However...and here they are! Look below to see these stunning twins that are growing into beautiful little girls!

For their outdoor six month session, we opted for an early morning shoot beginning at 7:00 a.m. I had the Z family meet me at a local park in Cypress, Texas. It features trees, soft grass, and a small lake. It's wonderful for family sessions because there is room for kiddos to run and play, and the parking is fantastic!

Each twin has an adorable personality! So cute and spunky! I used my 100 mm f/2.8 macro lens here. I normally opt for a 135 or 200, but I like to change things up sometimes!

And of course, we have to make time for Mom and Dad to be in the images. Preserving your family bond and love is most important to me; because of this, all of my sessions include 6 subjects. I don't want to limit the photo opportunities.  Isn't Mom gorgeous?! 

Thank you to the gracious, kind and beautiful Z family for visiting me again! I have enjoyed every session immensely, and telling your story has been wonderful! I hope to see you again in the future as your daughters grow. Thank you again! It's been an honor and blessing!

Swoon Worthy Golden Sunlight + Extended Family Photos

Good morning!

As a Houston newborn, child, maternity and family photographer, I enjoy blogging my sessions and sharing my latest work with you. It's a fun way to reflect on my favorite moments and to showcase each family.

The H family could not have been more kind, warm, and lovely to photograph! As you can see, we met at a local neighborhood in Cypress, Texas. The session consisted of Mom, Dad, and their two children, K and R. Ryan's wife, B, joined us, too and of course the family pet, Duke! He is rather regal if you ask me! 

For their session, we kept the posing simple as the goal was for a wonderful family portrait to be displayed as a traditional gallery wrapped canvas in their home. 

Below are some of my favorite images from their session! 

This part of the location is my favorite; I love how the sun shines through the trees during golden hour. It's so warm and lovely! We ended up using this image for a large canvas. It looks stunning in their home!

During my family photography sessions, we do a large variety of set ups. It's nice to include family, set ups of children with their parents, family pets, and make the focus shift on different family members.

What a good looking bunch! It was wonderful meeting y'all!

And of course, we must make time for the happy couple!

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.
