One of my favorite session types is the lifestyle family session. This is where I incorporate the client’s home and life into their portrait session. Instead of just family photos outside or posed in a studio, these photo sessions focus on the lifestyle of the...
Here’s a great photoshoot I did recently of a cute little boy in Dallas. We originally aimed for a more urban session but realized pretty quickly that this little toddler needed some more action so we headed for a nice park where he could safely run around and...
Holiday Portrait season is here and even though it is 900 degrees, I am already taking photos for Christmas cards. I have some silly ideas for my own Christmas cards this year. Hopefully, I will have enough time to pull one of them off. I am not opposed to...
I sometimes get requests from clients to see a typical photoshoot – the full range of photos – instead of one or two choice ones I have added to my portfolio. So I have added these shots from a recent newborn photoshoot to give you an idea. This is also a...
I still don’t know the results yet of the D Magazine contest for Best Family Photographer. I don’t find out until some time this month. Fingers crossed. Until then, back to business as usual. I’m still knee-deep in newborn and maternity photography...
I have a three-year-old. She is super busy figuring out her place in the world right now. Mostly that involves telling everyone what to do, whether it makes sense or not. It also involves pretending to be a “big kid.” She thinks she has these abilities...
I have shot this family tons of times. And they NEVER disappoint. It is always a riot and I always sweat buckets or wet my pants laughing. This year we decided to do a studio shoot for some family portraits. Good thing I was done with that backdrop as it was expertly...
I didn’t have time to post session photos during the frenzy of the fall shoots (I never do) so I decided this year to post some after the fact. I had so many great sessions this season and such a variety of looks. Here’s one of my favorites: This family...
Here’s an image-heavy post for those of you who forgot I am a photographer and thought maybe I was a rocket scientist. Well, I am not. I proved that this morning when I drove off to my yoga class with my water bottle and yoga mat on top of the car. Just...
Here are some family photos I took a couple of weeks ago on an outdoor game preserve. It was not only 100% SUPER FAMILY FUN TIMES, but it was educational as well. I learned how gravel is sorted. You never know when that will come in handy… Yes, I actually do...
A few weeks ago a friend of mine sent me an article written by a mom complaining about being a mom. It’s easy to do. I do it a lot. This mom was saying how she gets really annoyed when she is out with her screaming kids and someone, inevitably an old person,...
Since I really just ramble on and on here about nothing and was recently told by an EXPERT that perhaps I should add some CONTENT to my BLOG. I wanted to get in one more good ramble before I decide whether or not to take the expert’s advice. I have a lot to say...
