Family Photos in Your Nursery | Baby Makes Your Heart Full

Howdy, y’all!

As a photographer, one who photographs many newborns, I like to offer both lifestyle and posed newborn portraiture sessions so clients may best choose the session that fits their preferences. For instance, posed newborn sessions are precious in their own way; we place baby on beanbags with posing fabric and adorn him or her with custom props. We also utilize items such as buckets, wooden crates, or antique drawers or even hat boxes! The options are endless and leave a fine art impression. However, as a mama myself, I like to offer lifestyle sessions because they have an organic feel to them. These are the moments you think you’ll remember, but they often become fuzzy overtime. These images will bring you back to a time where your baby represents hope, fulfillment, and the scent of their head could make your heart burst with pride. This is your husband singing a lullaby, your mother’s eyes brimming with tears as she meets your bundle of joy; you designing the nursery and spending an afternoon picking out color swabs to perfection.

The following are some of my favorite images from the R family session. Thank you for having me in your beautiful home! I loved meeting you and hope to see you again!

In the beginning of each session, I take a few quiet moments to observe you and your baby. I do not like to "force" anything, but instead I take a step back and enjoy your connection. I like to highlight the silence that says everything words cannot. Mom is stunning and has stepped into the role of nurturer with grace and beauty.

Silhouette shots bring an artistic viewpoint to your gallery and also highlight elements in your nursery such as hand sewn drapes. The window frames you and baby.

During all of my lifestyle sessions, I like to show off the nursery. It's a special place you dreamed of - and I adore seeing everything you've done! I'm sure you spent countless hours in here, hand on your belly, smile upon your face, dreaming of the moment you'd hold your baby. You imagined her smell, felt the weight of her in your arms, and never knew your heart could be so full. That is true unconditional love.

21 Day old Newborn Session | Booking Details for Custom Portraiture

Good morning, y'all! Today is Monday, and as far as Monday's go, it's pretty swell! My eldest, Emma, is at school this morning, and Lucy, my youngest, is hanging out with Dad (as he stays home with our children) and they're enjoying a plethora of activities such as building with blocks, yummy breakfast, and a little "Daniel the Tiger", haha! 

As a Cypress newborn photographer, I truly look forward to the newborn sessions. I offer both lifestyle and posed newborn work to fit your needs; you may visit the "investment" tab at anytime to see the sessions I offer. I have something for everyone from outdoors and natural light photography sessions, to home lifestyle and documentary styles of work, ect. It is also only September, but I am currently booking sessions are far as May of 2016, so if you *are* looking for a family photographer for fall/winter 2015, I do have a few spots left, particularly in November for days during the week, M-F. 

Anyway, enough about me.  Let's chat about this precious chunk of a newborn. Oh...my goodness. He is a beautiful baby with perfect skin, bee stung lips and lashes for days. His newborn photography session is a dream; he is so curly and slept wonderfully for me. The following are some of my favorite images from his session.

I adore this sweet little bonnet! For his first set up, I brought a deep blue posing fabric and the bonnet to highlight all his features. Mom and Dad requested his head be covered so I always have a large variety of items for you to select from.

Who's Hungry for Watermelon? | Charming Children's Smash Session

Howdy, y’all!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful day and enjoying this interesting Houston weather. One morning it’s storming, the next minute it’s sunny. Phew, how’s a photographer to keep up?! On a business note, however, I am blogging my latest natural light and on location photography session. As a photographer, I specialize in photographing little ones, squishy newborns, baby bumps and of course your family milestones. And hey – we like to keep sessions light and fun. When you turn one year old, it’s customary to smash a cake and get a little messy…but what if your favorite food is watermelon? That in mind, a watermelon smash was in store for the last tot I had in front of my camera.

I had the adorable L family meet me in one of my favorite Cypress locations; it’s in Coles Crossing and offers a plethora of photogenic variety. There is a lake with fountains, walking trails, a bridge overlooking a playground and body of water, open field of trees, and also a dock that jets out into the lake I mentioned. There is also perfect parking, so this makes the location ideal for sessions involving props. The following images are some of my favorite from the session. Of course, no session is complete without family set ups so I’ll be previewing those, too! 

In the beginning, the little one was a wee bit tentative as she looked around, unsure of why we placed two large watermelons in her vicinity. At this point, I simply use my Canon 135 f/2L or Canon 200 mm f/2.8L and observe from many meters away. This way, I'm not in her space and we can see her genuinely exploring the set up.

Of course, I had to invite big brother to join in on the fun! It wasn't planned, but I never mind an improvised change. :-)

I also set aside some of the session to work with the entire family. We utilized the open field, rustic bridge, and the gorgeous evening sun!
