Austin's Outdoor One Year Session + Cake Smash


Good morning, everyone! It's hard to believe that it's already 2016. 2015 has completely flown by and as I sit at my desk this morning, I am excited to preview Austin's 12 month session. Yay! Birthdays are so fun and what's a better way to document your little one than to have a timeless, classic and beautiful natural light photography session showcasing all their personality traits?

My photography philosophy, especially with little ones, is easy going: embrace the child and keep things simple. I remove distracting props and use stunning locations in order to show off your kiddo. We do not want any competing features or anything to take away from who he or she is. Your child is soulful. We let them be little and embrace who they are. 

Because of this, I had Austin's sweet mama meet me in Cypress, a suburb of Northwest Houston at one of my favorite parks called Telge. We started with one year old portraits and then ended with a smash! Thanks for viewing! I hope you enjoy!

A Year In Review:

Personal Favorites From 2015 

Good morning! I have been working on this blog post for about 5 days and I must say I am slightly behind. With a newborn, toddler and a 5 year old who is home for the holiday break, I've had my hands full. However, I'm back at my desk and am excited to preview some of my favorite images and sessions from 2015.

However, before doing that I'd like to begin by saying thank you. Thank you to the clients who have supported me throughout my photography journey. I appreciate your loyalty and business as I've grown and figured out the murky waters of running a full time business. Moreover, thank you for your words of encouragement. Often times, simply saying something kind to your photographer truly makes our day. These compliments often come when we need to hear them most, when I may be feeling defeated. Thank you for trusting me to document your little ones, your beautiful baby bumps, your family milestones, your pregnancy announcements, and your tiny, precious newborns. It's been a blessing! 

And with that, I present some of my favorite images from the 2015 fiscal year. Narrowing these down took some time, and I hope you enjoy! 

Baby L's outdoor "Up" themed session had me smiling the entire time.

Bluebonnet season is short and sweet here, but makes for a beautiful pregnancy announcement. See the full session here

This couple is one of my favorite families and I've done several sessions for them from pregnancy announcements, gender reveal, newborn session, and lifestyle work, too. 

Turning one is a huge milestone! 

This home lifestyle session featuring a beautiful family and newborn is definitely one of my all time favorites. Amazing light and nursery! 

I've been photographing precious Ivy since she was in her mama's tummy.

Oh, Baby C! You're precious and one of my first newborns I photographed! See all his cuteness here. 

I enjoyed meeting this adorable couple and documenting their big news. 

I have been photographing this handsome little love since he was in his mama's tummy! Baby J is now one year old and precious as can be. 

Maternity sessions are always a beautiful way to celebrate your bump

The bond between nursing mother and child is sacred. Having my beautiful friend of her son, L, was a complete honor. 

This perfectly plum maternity session had me swooning! S is gorgeous. 

The beautiful sunlight and love between this couple had me swooning! 

A silhouette is never a bad way to begin your home newborn session. 

These two images are more of my own little ones, Emma and Lucy.

This adorable family was so much fun to document! 

Who doesn't love a good paint fight 

Golden hour is my favorite time to document baby bumps. 

We had a blast

I have not blogged E's custom and fine art newborn session but he was so perfect and snugly. I cannot wait for more sessions with him!

This sweet little love is on the blog. Her smile is infectious and I hope to see her again. 

At 10 pounds, Penny was a perfect squish. 

In 2015, my family announced we're having another girl! This image is one of my favorites in our cake smash reveal.

She is so full of life and joy 

A is precious as can be! I have not yet blogged his session, but his one year old session and cake smash were perfect!

H's outdoor and natural light fall session had me smiling the entire time. He will be on the blog soon along with his awesome parents and the perfectly styled attire.

I have been photographing Z since she was in her mama's tummy and we announced the pregnancy. I have not yet blogged her session (as it recently took place) but her golden hour and outdoor session was simple yet showcased stunning evening light. 

P is beautiful and this custom made dress

This new daddy and his newborn were one of my favorites this year 

Baby M is so sweet and precious! His custom newborn session is simple and really embodies the stillness of a newborn. 

I have not blogged Amelia's newborn photos yet as she was just born, but we added a third redhead to my gaggle of girls this year!

And there you are - my personal favorites of 2015. Here's to 2016 being just as amazing!

The B Family's Maternity Session at Coles Crossing | Waiting on Baby Boy


Natural Light & Golden Hour Maternity Session in Coles Crossing:

Cypress, Houston, Katy and Tomball TX Photographer


Good morning, y'all! I hope you're all doing well and enjoying your day! The new year is almost upon us and I am looking forward to 2016. However, before we blog those sessions I'd love to preview my latest maternity session I had the honor of documenting. 

Maternity sessions, especially natural light and outdoors, are some of my favorite to photograph. This is because there is a great deal of excitement as you prepare to meet your baby. There is also a little bit of magic that occurs; Mom is glowing - your bump is beautiful and Dad is often thrilled to be part of the session. You will never regret booking a custom maternity session because it will preserve and honor a time in your life where you felt your baby kicking, you imagine his or her little face, and many hours are spent wondering how the weight of Baby will feel in your arms. 

For the B family, I had Mom and Dad meet me in Coles Crossing, a large neighborhood located within Cypress, TX - a suburb of Northwest Houston. I like this location because it has beautiful evening light and boasts lovely scenery, a rustic and classic bridge, and walking trails. It's also expansive so we never run out of room. There is even a dock overlooking the water which is lovely for any type of session, too. Because of this, I designed the session so it showed off Mom's bump as well as the beautiful love between Mom and Dad. 

The following are some of the images from their session! We had so much fun and their newborn session has since been documented so stay tuned for that post. :-) Their baby is so so so so handsome and I cannot wait to show off his tiny toes and sweet face.
