Here’s another cute little guy from one of my Baby Plan clients. For his newborn photos, he had pictures taken with Mom, Dad, and Big Sis. For his 6th month photos, he was solo and we caught him while he was a little tired and cranky. (Imagine that, a cranky...
This baby was in fact born LAST year. But it seems fitting to start off the New Year with some newborn photos! Hey, it’s only been a few days of 2016 so far – none of my expecting clients have delivered yet! The New Year’s Baby is a common image seen...
2015 is finally coming to a close, and it’s definitely been one busy year. Looking over my posts from the last year, I obviously got to work with bundles of babies and flocks of expectant mothers-to-be. Maternity photo sessions and Newborn photo sessions are my...
It’s Christmas week, and I couldn’t be more excited for a break. There’s always a big push at the end of the year for portrait gifts. When you combine deadlines with holiday and New Year’s plans, things start getting nuts. I’m ready to...
Family photo albums have evolved quite a bit over the last few decades. You used to take your stack of developed 4×6’s and slide them in pages of clear plastic pockets. Then you’d then put in an album that looked kinda like a fancy 3-ring binder. If...
Time for a birthday party in the park. This guy recently turned 1 year old! So we trekked out to the park and lucked out on some nice, sunny weather. With balloons, cake, and yes, even a fancy blue chair in tow… We parked ourselves in a spot by the water and let...
Today, I’m sure many of you are preparing for tomorrow’s Thanksgiving meal. Perhaps you’re traveling to see family and loved ones. It’s not always easy, but tomorrow is the day to think on all you’re thankful for. Where better to start...
I needed to share this recent photo shoot for obvious reasons. The little girl is just too cute. She’d recently lost two of her front teeth and her mom wanted to showcase her special grin and personality at this point in time. Needless to say, she’s...
Happy Veterans Day, everyone. Today’s the day we say thanks to all the men and women who have served in the U.S. military. So a big, heartfelt thanks to all the veterans out there for all you do for our country. The father in this set is a veteran returned from...
As a final wrap-up to my recent maternity/newborn posts, here are more newborn images from the mother featured in last week’s post. My personal favorite is the first image in the set! Dad cradled her in his hands, and she has the sweetest little smile. Talk...
Last week, I talked about a few different ways to sync up your maternity and newborn photos. Well, there’s one more trick to creating a coordinating look between photo sessions: recreating the same poses. For example, one popular pose involves the mother lying...
Maternity photo sessions celebrate the imminent birth of your child – and they also celebrate you. You’ll carry your baby with you for only 9 short months. So maternity photos are the perfect way to capture this brief, special body-bond that you’ll...
There’s probably nothing sweeter than the contented, silly grins of happy new parents as they watch and interact with their newborn. It’s oxytocin, in action. It takes over mom-and-dad-brains as they gaze at their newborn child, resulting in gibberish baby...
Ok, the flower pillow in this set isn’t necessarily supposed to be a peony, but it could definitely pass as a peony. And in looking over the images for this post, I can’t help but think of this little girl as a tiny princess. Between her slight size...
I’m lucky to have worked with some of my client families multiple times over the years. I get to take pictures of their kids again and again, and I get to know them more and more each time. That being said, I still might only see those kids a couple of times a...
One of the most common questions I get asked by my clients is about the safety precautions I take with newborns. While babies are pretty resilient, the newborns I work with are, after all, humans as young as a week old. There are some pretty specific steps I take to...
Anyone who follows my blog regularly may notice some familiar faces in these newborn photos. This is a family I’ve photographed many times before, most recently for the mother’s maternity photos for her second child. Her firstborn son got the newborn, six...
If you don’t already know from personal experience or from friends or family members who’ve given birth, the first few weeks – if not MONTHS – of raising a newborn can turn your brain to mush. I’m pretty sure this is an established...
The Container Store published another blog post last week featuring some commercial photography that I did for them recently. As with the baby shower that I photographed for them recently, this trip to the Coppell Farmer’s Market and the featured product photo...
This furry little bundle of love is Stella. She is one super cute pup. It’s been a while since I did a pet-only session, so this set definitely exercised some photography muscles that haven’t been used recently. Mostly stamina and patience. Because let me...
