Choosing a newborn photographer can be an exercise in confusion. There are a lot of people offering newborn photo sessions and it can be difficult to figure out just what you’re looking for. So I’ve put together this guide to help you make the best...
Professional newborn photography is a wonderful investment many families choose so they have heirloom pictures of their precious child. But most newborn photography is done casually at home by mom and dad (and doting relatives). Many of my clients ask me how to make...
Most of the time, I don’t use a lot of infant photography props in my work. I think the babies speak for themselves and don’t need much extra to make for beautiful photographs. But sometimes, you just gotta include something special for the family. Because...
When deciding on maternity pictures and maternity photoshoot outfits, I encourage moms-to-be to be themselves. We discuss ideas beforehand and determine how to best capture their personality. As I’ve said before, maternity pictures come in all styles. Some women...
I love it when a client invites me to be a part of their baby and family journey. I get to photograph a maternity session, then newborn, six months, a year…it’s always an honor to capture those cherished family memories. This is exactly why I am so...
Pregnancy is different for every woman. For some, it’s a necessary pain to get a precious child. For others, it’s a joy and delight, a time of wonder. Both experiences are valid. I had the pleasure of shooting maternity pictures for one of these latter...
Sibling photography is one of the most wonderful gifts you can buy for yourself and your family. Professional photos will last forever and provide decades of memories and happiness. Some of my most precious possessions are pictures of my kids at different ages. There...
Twin baby photography is a hilarious exercise in patience, luck, endurance, and timing. Especially when those twins are actually more like toddlers. Active, busy toddlers like the ones I’m featuring today make my work fun (and aerobic). You might remember by...
I’ve been working as a Dallas baby photographer (and family, child, maternity, and wedding photographer) for many years now. I love working with my clients to capture memories they’ll treasure. Every day presents new opportunities and challenges to expand...
Photographing children outdoors creates a beautiful setting with flattering natural light. But like any photo shoot, it creates its own challenges. This week, I want to look at how to capture the best photos when your shoot takes place out of the studio. Photographing...
Toddlers are not generally known for their easy-going, laid back personalities. They know what they want and how they want it. Beware to the person who stands in the way. But I recently had the pleasure of capturing some smiles from an adorable little redhead boy,...
Being a Dallas family photographer, I get to meet families of all types and sizes. Sometimes, they are small. Other times, like today, they are big and beautiful. Today’s blog features four big sisters welcoming their new baby brother with a family photography...
Today, I present the smiliest baby I’ve ever had the pleasure of photographing. Capturing smiles in a newborn photo shoot is tricky and rare. Newborns basically want to sleep. They wake for feedings, to look adorable, cry, coo, and poop. That’s about it....
It’s double the cuteness today with this twins photography shoot of two six-month-olds. Photographing twins is a lot of fun, and it creates double the challenge. Two babies to keep happy and smiley for photos means I’ve got to pull some tricks from my...
Last week, we looked at the maternity photos for a patriotic couple, both military veterans of Afghanistan. They are first-time parents, very much in love, and so excited about welcoming their baby boy. Their maternity photos captured a lot of emotion between them....
Today’s post makes me particularly happy to share, as we are celebrating Independence Day next week. Mom and dad are both military veterans of Afghanistan, expecting their first child together, and so excited about being parents. These Dallas maternity photos...
One reason I love being a Dallas baby and newborn photographer is I get to see the great joy new family members bring to those around them. It’s cause for a huge celebration for everyone. Today’s post is a family photography session celebrating the birth...
They say sex sells, but I say babies are better at making people buy. What’s cuter and more appealing than an adorable baby, after all? For today’s post, I’m sharing some six-month baby photos that are doubling as commercial ones, as well. The...
When soon-to-be parents contact me about baby photography, they often ask about the ideal time to book. Should their baby be newborn (under two weeks) or slightly older (two to six weeks)? There are advantages and disadvantages to each. A newborn photo session has a...
Last week, I shared the first in a two-part series of a Dallas family expecting twins. This week, in part two, I’ve got some sweet moments from the twins’ newborn photo session. Photographing twins is a special treat: double the cuteness, double the baby...
