Stunning Mother to be & Her Gorgeous Maternity session in Houston

“Giving birth and being born brings us into the essence of creation, where the human spirit is courageous and bold and the body, a miracle of wisdom.”

Houston Texas Maternity Photographer | Best in Houston

Good morning, folks! Today I am looking forward to previewing one of my latest outdoor, natural light maternity sessions for you. Possibly my favorite aspect of documenting your pregnancy is embracing warm, golden light. My sessions take place during this time as it's a magical hour and when the light is most soft and ethereal.

Moreover, there's a unique quality to pregnancy. It's magnificent! It's when your heart is filled with such joy as your carry your little angel. Your imagine his or her little soul; the tenderness surrounding the new baby and what their face will look like. You can almost hear her little coos or feel his soft tufts of hair against your hand as your lightly brush his hair. 

Before showing off Mom and her beautiful baby bump, let's take a quick peek at her newborn session. Baby Samantha is perfect as can be and it was a delight to photograph her!

Now that you've seen a preview of her session, let's show off Mom's bump. These were taken the day before she went into labor so I'm glad we were able to capture this special time for her.

I'd love to photograph your baby bump or precious newborn!

"Up" Photography Session | Cypress TX Children's Photographer {Tomball, Houston and The Woodlands TX}

“So long, boys! I’ll send you a postcard from Paradise Falls!”

— Carl Fredricksen

There's something magical about childhood. You're who you want to be. Anything is possible. 

I first met L when was 6 months old. Since then, I’ve been photographing him a few times per year. You may have seen him on the blog before, as Mom and I have tried locations inside the 610 loop such as Herman Park or the Energy Corridor, like Terry Hershey Park.

Who is Lucien? He is a spunky toddler who is both adorable and inquisitive. Like most little boys, he enjoys exploring and often keeping me on my toes during the session. That’s okay – it’s important to let the little one be who they are, so for his sessions we always pick an open area with lots of room for him to run. You could certainly say little ones keep me in shape since I’m often running after them, ha! Anyway, L’s favorite movie is “Up”. If you’re not familiar with it, the premise is simple. Carl Fredricksen (Ed Asner), a 78-year-old balloon salesman, is about to fulfill a lifelong dream. Tying thousands of balloons to his house, he flies away to the South American wilderness. But curmudgeonly Carl's worst nightmare comes true when he discovers a little boy named Russell is a stowaway aboard the balloon-powered house.

This in mind, Mom and I worked together to come up with an array of props to preserve L’s favorite childhood movie. We thought of many details from objects that are special to Carl, to the balloons and basket, airplanes, vintage suitcases, the mailbox he and his wife create, their pet dog, the jar they use to save funds, their adventure book. And perhaps that’s why this session was so lovely is because Carl embraces the spirit of adventure…just like Lucian. When you’re a toddler, everything is an adventure. The world is a big place!

I'd love to photograph your sweet little one and capture their spirit of adventure!

Kaitlyn's Peppa Pig Inspired 3rd Birthday Photo Shoot in The Woodlands

Happy Third Birthday, K! Check out this Peppa Pig inspired session. 

Perhaps one of the best parts of children's photography is that anything is possible. This, of course, includes a child's favorite cartoon character, such as my latest third birthday session that's on the blog today! Moreover, designing a session around a child's preferences is special because you will look back fondly at the images and remember this time in his or her life.In case you're unfamiliar with this popular children's cartoon, visit Peppa pig here. She's quite cheeky and little ones love her. You may remember seeing K's cousin's on the blog, too at their watermelon cake smash session. That's another aspect of photography I truly treasure: meeting your families and getting to know you.

For Katelyn's third birthday photos, we opted to design a session that portrays both child and family photography; this is because I encourage parents to participate in the session. As a mama, I know that when you're at home with your little ones, more often than not, one parent is holding the camera and it's hard to have everyone together in the same photo. Because of this, it's always nice to take a few moments and capture everyone together.

For K's birthday session, I had Mom and Dad meet me in The Woodlands Texas at a lovely location featuring tree lined paths, easy parking and a bridge. The fall/winter colors even came through for some of the session, which is a big deal for Texas, ha! 

As you can see, I kept the posing very natural and easy going. Each family dynamic differs and sometimes the session is a little more composed and other times it's more free play. That's something I enjoy doing: embracing the spirit of your family and capturing you as you are. It's nice to also have a variety of images from tickles and big smiles to everyone interacting together. Sometimes I'll have you all look at the camera and smile and other times I'll have you focus on your child and engage him or her. Be who you are! These portraits are connections to your past and as time fleetingly moves, you'll look back on these images and remember who you were.

Thank you to this lovely family for having me document Katelyn's third birthday session as well as your winter family portraits! I truly enjoyed meeting you and hope to see you again!

I'd love to photograph your family milestone or child's birthday portraits!
