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!

Let's Have Fun During Your Family Photos | Embrace Your Dynamic

Howdy, folks!

Whoo hoo! Labor Day weekend is upon and I am looking forward to having a few days off of work to spend time with my little ones, Lucy and Emma, and of course my handsome hubby, Kevin! However, before play can begin I am spending the morning catching up on retouching, sending contracts and invoices, blogging and sending off your final copies from sessions. Yup, it’s actually a lot of fun! Anyway, enough about me – here is the beautiful L family! They’re a sweet bunch who came to see me a few weeks ago and their natural light, on location session was quite the blast to photograph. This is because I love meeting new clients and also since they’re a pleasure to work with.

Their session took place at sunrise, so around 6:40 a.m. here in Houston, Texas. This is for optimal lighting. We met at a local historic area called Cypress Historic Park. It’s located near 290 and Spring Cypress so it is close by and has great parking, haha! Who could ask for more? It’s a location that is available year around so if this strikes your fancy and you’d enjoy having a session here, no worries. I can hook you up! The following are some of my favorite images. We kept everything laid back and fun. After all, this is meant to show off your family and your own dynamic – nobody wants stuffy or too formal.

A little tidbit of information: when photographing your family, I often set the sessions up so it's all about you loving, snuggling and playing with your kiddos. Be who you are! I encourage you to have a blast, get on the ground, and be the awesome parent I know you to be. Yup. You may get messy but you won't be bored and you will LOVE your images. Why? They're natural, pure and all about embracing who you are.

Little guy is still a newborn but we did make time for his own individual shots. His little toes and curious eyes make me melt! Look at his tummy - all full of milk!

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.
