Sweet, Sweet Baby {League City Newborn Photographer}

admin — Mon, 02 May 2011 12:13:16 +0000

Remember I said I was so far behind in posting? Well, I wasn’t kidding! This precious little boy is now SIX MONTHS OLD!! Â I still want to show him off on here! He was simply a doll (and still is!) I have been photographing his family since his sweet sister was the same age! Actually, I was in the room when he was welcomed into this world. It was such a honor to be part of his birth. I can’t wait to continue photographing him as he grows into a handsome young man! But first, some newborn yumminess!!

And this is my all-time favorite newborn image so far!! LOVE it!

Helloo?? Anyone There?

Soo, I am incredibly behind on my blog. Wow, that may just be the understatement of the year!

I have to be honest, I couldn’t even log-in without requesting my new password. Pretty sad huh?

I’ve been busy. Busy with pictures. Busy with School. Busy with family. Busy with work (Nurse-y work).

But, I’m slowly digging myself out – and I have about a bazillion posts lined up. Okay, that’s probably exaggerating, a bit. But I am trying to catch up since I have some beautiful faces that haven’t seen blog love!

So, I promise to be better.

Starting. Right. Now.

Ok, I feel like I should explain that first picture. It’s often said that you can tell a lot about parents by looking at their kids. Well, I told my monkeys to kiss, because sweet sibling-pictures-in-bluebonnets are a requirement in this part of Texas…. What you see is what I got. Without saying a word, this image must say that these kiddos have two parents that adore each other

Miracle of Life {Clear Lake Birth Photographer}

admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 06:32:33 +0000

I’ve been so excited to blog some of these images!! Almost two months later, I’m finally getting around to it. To say that life has been busy around our house is an understatement!! This was my first official birth to photograph and it was absolutely AMAZING!! The nurse in me was excited and wanted to do everything. The photographer in me was a big bundle of nerves! The light was dim. It would happen fast. Would I capture everything. Would I miss my focus?! Must. Concentrate. Now. Sarah. In the end, it was fabulous! AAANNNDD I got to learn the sweet baby’s name before everyone else! His parents had been keeping it a secret! He ended up having a pretty nifty birthday too – 8/9/10 – Cool huh?!?! Thanks again Mom and Dad for letting me join the party – it was great!

Perfect Princess {Dickinson Newborn Photographer}

This sweet little girl was an absolute DOLL for her session. Once she settled into a deep sleep, she was out. Big brother was busy watching Lion King, and she didn’t even care!! She *almost* makes me want another sweet little girl… her lips just melted me. I’ll be honest here, there are sometimes that photographing a newborn makes my ovaries ache. I love the smell of a newborn, their sweaky little squaks and ohhh, their soft skin just makes me want to kiss them all over. There is something so sweet about them – truly one of life’s miracles! And the BEST part, I get to capture that goey sweetness on film for their family to remember for years to come. They don’t stay small and sleepy long – so each of these images will hold this sweet memory for a lifetime. What an honor!! So, thank you so much Y family for allowing me into your home during this new season – it was an honor!!

Look at this precious little girl…. See how she’s curled up and in a deep sleep? That’s the beauty of photographing a newborn early in their life. This is how she grew in her mom for 9 months, so this pose is perfectly comfortable for her. I recommend scheduling a session under 10 days of age to capture sweet looks like this…

Freedom Celebration

admin — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 21:26:46 +0000

I spent the 4th of July weekend in Canadian, Texas with friends and family, and throughly enjoyed every minute I was there!! I don’t know when the last time I spent this holiday there, but I know it’s been double-digit years ago!! I even managed to squeeze in a few mini sesssions while I was there!! Hurricane Alex made the celebrations a bit wet and chilly, but we made the best of it! Just thought I’d share a bit of my personal life Hope you enjoy!!

Love me some chubbs! {Canadian, Tx Baby Photographer}

admin — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 20:13:38 +0000

This sweet little man belongs to my life-long best friend and just melts my heart! And if his chubby rolls don’t make you smile too… well, there is something wrong! I was able to photograph his mom and dad while they were expecting, his birth, his newborn pictures and now he’s SIX MONTHS!! Wow – time is flying!! We’re keeping our fingers crossed that I can get his one year portraits while I’m home for Thanksgiving! I just can’t get over his eyes! And doesn’t he look just like his Daddy. Amanda & John – than you again for letting me shoot you sweet little boy – I just love him!!! And Jackson, you’re a doll, but really – slow down! No sense growing up so fast!!
